Just watched this edit, and man, did you make an improvement on the original. The new color grading is so much more palatable compared to the theatrical version. In the case of the original, it seemed like someone fell asleep at the controls. The removal of the bridge destruction is something I am very happy to finally see, it's bothered me so much for the past few years. It just doesn't belong in a Harry Potter film. All the other changes were also greatly appreciated, the movie is still certainly flawed, but it feels a bit more in line with the previous movies. Thanks for your hard work! It's given this Potter fan a nice alternative to the theatrical cut.

Unfortunately, none of the files on MySpleen have seeders.

For info on my HP edits, read the first post in the thread on OT.

That is why I am asking if someone could please re-seed or perhaps send me a link?

Does anyone have a version of this available? Sounds so much better

Sorry guys, I no longer have access to my original version of this. However, after checking the available Harry Potter extended editions, I found that some of them needed some additional audio work and cutting.

At the least, I intend to put together a version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with fixes (one deleted scene includes dialogue that’s used in the next scene when the characters aren’t on screen, and one deleted scene contradicts one shortly following it - when Harry finds out Scabbers is gone. I believe this is best remedied by cutting the later theatrical scene’s beginning.)

I will also get a slightly smoother cut version of Half Blood Prince out sometime before the end of the year if I can.
