Harry Potter 1-2 in 4K Hybrid Open Matte/Scope - Extended Cuts

Following my 4K remastering project of Harry Potter Saga in 4K Hybrid Open Matte/Scope (which you can find here: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Harry-Potter-Saga-in-4K-Hybrid-Open-MatteScope-Theatrical-Cuts/id/114455), I’m also launching a 4K restoration project of Harry Potter’s extended cuts.

I’ll replace any frame from the theatrical cut with my 4K Hybrid Open Matte/Scope remasters and I’ll restore the deleted scenes from the official extended editions in 4K, using the same process as my 4K Hybrid Open Matte/Scope remasters.

Of course, “Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Chamber of Secrets” extended cuts are officially released in Scope (and you should own a copy), but my 4K Hybrid Open Matte/Scope extended cuts remasters will preserve the biggest possible image.

Original bluray image and audio tracks have been used for the deleted scenes and the final result. In this case, you’ll have untouched DTS-HDMA in English and Dolby Digital AC-3 in Truefrench.

“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” - 4K Hybrid Open Matte/Scope - Extended Cut is now available in 4K Hybrid Open Matte / Scope.

Due to high demand of download requests, I’m looking for a better tool than Resilio to host my Harry Potter remasters projects. I’ll get back to everyone when it’s available. If you have any encrypted solution, feel free to send me a PM. Thanks for the patience. In the meantime, “Sorcerer’s Stone” extended cut is done in 4K Hybrid Open Matte / Scope and I’ll start working on “Chamber of Secrets” extended cut in 4K Hybrid Open Matte / Scope really soon.

“Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” - 4K Hybrid Open Matte/Scope - Extended Cut is now available in 4K Hybrid Open Matte / Scope.

This looks Great, would love to get a link to download. Sent you a PM 🙏🏻

How is everyone watching this? I’ve tried in VLC on Windows and Xbox, Movies and TV app on Xbox, and Media Player Classic and VirtualDub2 on Windows, and I’m getting a lot of banding in the opening of Sorcerer’s Stone, most visible when Dumbledore lifts up the put-outer and it’s the only thing in the shot.
My TV is LCD 1080p, my computer screen is LED 3200x1800. Is this only visible from downscaling or on an SDR screen, or is anyone else seeing this too?

You need to read details of every released movie in the theatrical cuts thread. Later movies are not impacted by this problem.

Sorcerer’s Stone (Released)

Completely Open Matte
A few shots were zoomed in but offered more image on top and bottom, so I decided to keep them in
Bluray image is used for Warner logos and credits.
Note: there is still macroblocking and banding during selected sequences.
It is part of the open matte image master and has been altered as much as possible. But it might still be visible, especially on the opening scene (which was also horrible on the original bluray master)

Chamber of Secrets (Released)

Completely Open Matte

please give me copy. thanks

Thanks to nightstalkerpoet, a new version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone 4K Filmized Open Matte is in the works. The main goal is to get rid of the macroblocking and banding (especially on night scenes), using a much better 1080p encode of the open matte version. Both THEATRICAL and EXTENDED cuts will get a V2 in the upcoming days. Sorry to everyone who already got the original release.
