Harry Potter: The Revisited Series - Main Thread

Original Synopsis:

The movies need a more cohesive tone to both of them to follow along with the rest, as the tone of the first two movies are quite, quite different from the rest of the series. They resemble innocent fun and a bright, bright world with no worries but pure joy, yet the story is very dark. I wanted to balance this out, although it is important to keep the first two entries lighter in tone.

I found it a crucial step to develop a more gritty and realistic atmosphere to the Sorcerer’s Stone and the Chamber of Secrets, as well as to clean and pace both of them up in terms of picture, sound and storytelling.

The rest of the films will undergo massive changes as well, although less radical in terms of the visual effects work, tone and color grading.

Goblet of Fire and Half-Blood Prince are also in dire need of work (Goblet of Fire Ultimate Edition now done).

Let’s remaster this magic!

DONE:

Sorcerers Stone, Chamber of Secrets and all through to Deathly Hallows will have new versions. This is to have more detail in the footage whilst editing, and therefore be able to manipulate both the color grading and the quality to better match the rest of the series in both color and visual tone. Also, the 4k uses the 35mm as the master instead of the DVD upscale that the Blu-Ray is. Therefore, we get the original colors to play with.

The edit are also undergoing massive changes in terms of visual effects, like The Whomping Willow sequence in Chamber of Secrets (which is completed). Goblet of Fire and Half-Blood Prince also have huge narrative changes.
