Cheers, lads!

The Statues theme is a «Epic Version» from YouTube that i slowed down and added reverb and a darker pitch to.

Did you use the one by L’Orchestra Cinématique? 🙂

Yes 😄

Yes 😄

They do some damn good covers. 😎

Quick question: did you play around with the reverb settings?

Half-Blood Prince - Ultimate Edition is released.

Can’t wait to watch it for myself! Based on what Jimmy’s saying, it should be fantastic! 😄

❤️ Thanks, guys.

OBS! I initally wanted to cut way more, like Slughorn saying yes to go to Hogwarts, Aragog burial and Ron at the Hospital Wing, because none of them further the plot at all, but I know many people enjoy Half-Blood Prince so much that it would probably make hearts bleed. Also, I’ve already cut 7 min of the original runtime - most of which are poor attempts at comedy or simply too revealing to the story, so I think Ultimate Edition does a good job at balancing all the different tones of the film well and much better than the original did.

I might do a more compact version for myself, as I find those three scenes to drag down the pacing and mystery of the film. I might upload two versions (this one being the "Extended Ultimate Edition) if there is interest.

I hope the color grading in and out of itself make people realize how beautifully shot HBP actually is, now that one can see key details for the first time ever… Again; what WERE they thinking with that original grade? Never looking back on the original ever again!

Oh, and once again; thanks to Chloe of Fanedit.org for her brilliant ideas.

I gotta see how many of her ideas are on show in this one! 😃

Thanks for the Thanksgiving holiday present (if you are in the USA).

Based on the runtime of the movie, it looks like you included most of the deleted scenes from HBP. Out of curiosity, which ones did you leave out?

I’m in Europe, but I’m happy it brought some thanksgiving joy.

I left out Harry and Hermione discussing Malfoy on the map.

Are you Swedish? Or rather, Norwegian? 😄

I’m a wizard, Cammy.

Guess who’s seen Half-Blood Prince: Ultimate Edition? 😁

• Added subtitles for CoS and HbP Ultimate Editions.
• Updated Sorcerer’s Stone Revisited with a new audiomix that should now have fixed some unbalancing and/or lack of audio quality as reported by vranir. Also took the oppurtunity to add post credits music (that was somewhat muted) as well as fix some color grade balancing where I saw fit. I recommend all to replace SS Ultimate Edition with the new one for a way better (audio) experience as well as some color grade evening.

Oh, and; merry christmas!

Awesome! I’ll get round to it in a jiffy! 😄

About to rewatch Sorcerer’s Stone through Half-Blood Prince to prepare for Deathly Hallows: Revisited! 😄

By the way, An, you might as well not call it the “Ultimate Edition” since the original DH Revisited was never finished. XD
