CaMSmurph:

Are the Harry Potter movies available on his drive?

I am not sure if something was changed, but his drive is now indicating I need permission to access.

Also, thanks for the review without the spoilers. I would love to watch these even more now.

Iā€™ve lost access as well. I have no idea whatā€™s happened, but I guess Andreas will keep us updated.

A few words on the Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire Ultimate Editions

Both outstanding from beginning to end! The new intro in PoA should give you an idea on what to expect. As PoA is rightfully considered the best in the series, little has been altered, save for a few nitpicks.

The new colour grade helps bring back the warmth of the first two movies, and as the story gets darker, so do the colours. What a way to compliment the mature storytelling!

Cuts are seamless throughout, and in keeping with musical continuity, Andreas brings back John Williamsā€™ classic themes from Sorcererā€™s Stone and Chamber of Secrets. PoA is Williamsā€™ final contribution to the Harry Potter series and it really is a shame that his themes werenā€™t brought over from this point onward. God bless Andreas for remedying this in the best way possible!

Also, keep your eye out for a few clever cameos. šŸ˜‰

GoF is just as good, if not better. Dark and difficult times lie ahead, indeed. Andreas has put together a much scarier affair than the theatrical version. This is particularly evident in the graveyard. The changes to Voldemort, in particular, are really something else. I wonā€™t elaborate as I feel this should be viewed as blindly as possible.

The restructuring here is something no other GoF edit has done. It actually improves the story incredibly well to have the Yule Ball take place after the Second Task. That way, the Second and Third Tasks donā€™t feel like they take place mere weeks apart.

This is also the first of the Ultimate Editions to make use of select deleted scenes, all of which have been cropped and upscaled to fit the IMAX format Andreas has prepped for these new editions. The additional scenes in question add some important plot details and character moments which, I daresay, shouldnā€™t have been left out. This truly feels like a more complete experience!

The new sound mix in both edits is nothing short of impeccable. The SFX and ambience in certain scenes makes the environment feel moreā€¦ magical. Thatā€™s all I will say on the matter.

While I can certainly point out a few things that need improving, I think I speak for everyone when I say, Andreas doesnā€™t disappoint! Thank you, good sir, for keeping the magic alive. And extra special thanks to Chloe of Fanedit.org for helping him through this! Well bloody done to both of you! šŸ‘

Canā€™t wait for Order of the Phoenix through Deathly Hallows!
