I haven’t gotten to watch these yet, but I did notice an increased softness just skipping around after you released them. I did know you really wanted to go with the smaller file sizes, so I didn’t say anything.

Also, as far as audio and specific to my home setup, aac takes a double hit in lossy quality. My system re-encodes AAC to AC-3 in order to pass it to the tuner. AC-3, DTS are passed untouched and most lossless have the cores passed.
Like I said, that’s specific to my setup, so again, not worth mentioning.

I wish I had gotten some of this feedback sooner so I could have addressed the issues that are obviously present in this release.

I have made the decision to temporarily take down my v2.0 releases due to quality issues. I am rendering out high-resolution h.265 releases, which is what I had originally intended for this version. There were complaints when I first mentioned I was going to do this for v2.0 (“my system won’t play h.265, how could you do this to us, blah blah blah”). I should have stuck to my guns instead of compromising quality for a few people. These will be at a higher render quality to produce a better viewing experience. I will also be adding the AC3 audio track back into the release. Again, I took someone’s advice that the track was unnecessary and only added extra size to the files. I should have not taken this advice and again released what I felt was right.

So, lesson learned. I will release what I think should be released. If your system can’t handle it, that is not my problem. Long ago, I used to get the yearly release of the EA Sports NHL game for my PC. Every year I had to upgrade something on my PC in order to play the game well. I could bitch and complain if I wanted to, but ultimately EA released what they wanted using newer technology. That is what I am doing here. The h.265 codec is more efficient at compression to lower file size without compromising quality. If you can’t play these files, don’t download them. I will not compromise quality again for a few people that will complain.

It will take a couple of weeks to get all of the new renders done since my system renders h.265 at a slower rate. Hopefully the end result will be worth it.

For those that want to complain about having spent time downloading this previous version, just hold your complaints. I don’t want to hear them. All I can do at this point is say I’m sorry for wasting your time. I cannot make everyone happy and in this particular case I haven’t made anyone happy.

I’m really happy that you decided to trust your guts and that in the end we are gonna have high quality video files to match the high quality content they already are.

So thank you so much JJpotter.

I just rewatched the entire movies v1.5 months earlier, so it was a bit too recent in my mind, to rewatch them all with the v2.0.

But I will check your new movies files when they are released, and try to hurry up creating the French subtitles too. 😄

You mentioned that nobody is happy with your release, but you are wrong.
A lot of people here are happy to have extended editions that otherwise would have been imposible to see.
I’m very happy with your work.
And I’ll be even happier when you finish the new h265 movies.
Thank you very much
Regards

I’ve stumbled upon your extended editions in the past month. I’ve watched the extended versions of the first two films and last night finished your extended version of Order of the Phoenix. I understand you need more time on your H.265 versions but I didn’t have your extended versions of Deathly Hallows and the Fantastic Beasts films so do you have an estimate time for when these editions be finished? Not rushing you but I really want to see Secrets of Dumbledore in 4DX before it switches over to the next movie, which would be on May 5th.

Also, thank you for enchanting us with your extended editions. Without you, I might have to watch the original versions of 3-8 and the Fantastic Beasts films

If you would read earlier posts, you would see I pulled the edits due to video quality issues. I am uploading new versions one at a time as I finish them. Be patient!!!

Version 2.1 files have been uploaded. These are in h.265 MP4 format with an average bitrate of at least 8000 kb/s. I have not had the time to view each film prior to release due to requests asking where they are. If you find anything wrong with these, please let me know.

There are officially released Extended Editions of these films. I accidentally uploaded the caption files for the versions that I created for my personal use, but cannot release them publicly.

What’s the differences between your version and the official extended movies 1 and 2?

Dear JJ Potter,

I am still fully enjoying all of your Extended releases. I am currently watching them for the third time to be honest haha.

I was wondering if you had already seen Secrets of Dumbledore, and what is your opinion about it? I found it very refreshing and quite a good movie in comparison with the Crimes of Grindelwald.

Are you planning to make an extended edition of Secrets of Dumbledore as well? I wasnt able to find deleted scenes just yet, but it makes sense since the movie is still in theatres.

I appreciate your work and thanks for all the effort,

A big fan

Forgot to say, thanks again for HD versions of your fanedits. Life got away from us and never got to watch v2.0, but I sure enjoyed the v1.5 quality and look forward to experiencing that again with your new updates.
You’re definitely a wizard yourself they way the completed those unfinished deleted scenes. Absolutely magic!!!

Hi, JJ, I’ve found these deleted scenes from The Secrets of Dumbledore.
https://youtu.be/48GdKfkRuXI
May be there’ll be more, when they released the blu-ray.
Are you going to make an extended cut of the 3rd film?

JJPotter,

I’ve been a solid fan of the Harry Potter series since before the Philosophers Stone reached UK and then Sorcerers Stone the US. I would love to have a custom copy of Prisoner of Azkaban through Deathly Hallows Part 2.

I’ve seen your terms about owning a copy, - do you need proof of ownership? I still have the DVD sets of the films if that helps.

If you could provide me with a copy, I’d be extremely greatful!

I’m an amateur video editor myself so I fully know how much time, effort etc goes into making just one movie into good quality.

Thank you for reading.

I’ve had several people ask whether I’m going to do a version of Secrets of Dumbledore or not. I would think it would be pretty obvious that I’m at least going to consider it. I haven’t answered in the affirmative because without seeing what is on the discs and the quality of the deleted scenes, it is hard to tell how difficult it may be, how much extra work may go into the edit, and whether the scenes will add anything to the final film.

I will be getting my 4k/blu-ray set tomorrow when it is released. I will have a better idea after I have time to spend looking at the content.

For those that continue to post in the public forum asking for my current edits, I wish you would take the time to read some of the past posts, especially the very first post in this thread. You would save yourself a lot of time waiting.
