Thank you for that video, Cam. I’m already done color grading half the movie and agree with almost everything the YouTuber said. But I think he went a little too bright in the midtones.

Like I said, not exactly as he did it. But I’m glad to hear you’re deep into HBP! 😄

I’ll give the new Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets a watch later on. 😃

Hey, bro! If you plan on recolouring Fred and George’s joke shop in HBP, you might want to have a look at this incredible video by GamesDirect!

Loved OotP! Massively improved my favorite Potter movie. I’d love if you could include the opening of HBP where Harry and Dumbeldore are getting their pictures taken after the fight with Voldemort. Amazing job!

What a coincidence! OotP is my favourite Potter movie, too!

That’s OotP done! I’ve got some notes. More on that later. 😉

The fixed up version 5 is out now.

Hopefully that’ll do it until the necessary pieces for the Rey Nobody become available to me.

What are the fixes?

Just watched the new GoF and I LOVED IT! Can’t wait for OotP! 😍

Well awesome, bro! I think OotP will be the LEAST edited instalment in your Revisited series in terms of narrative. HBP and DH are for sure getting extensively reworked, and judging by the new opening for HBP you teased us with last year, we’ll be going out on one hell of a high note! ❤️

Awesome! 28 Days Later is one of my favourite horror films and I’m glad you’re giving it the treatment it rightfully deserves! 😄

Also, this is my first time seeing the full screen version in any way. 😃

Ah 😅

Where’s the clip gone?

Fantastic job showing more of Azkaban! And I appreciate how musical continuity for this project doesn’t just apply to the maestro. 😃

Cheers, Cam. I think the downmix to stereo is the culprit here, but on the surround channel it is a tad loud (on purpose) on the front channels. I can lower them slightly so it won’t be too overbearing for anyone more audio sensitive.

Great to know! I just want to make sure everything is up to snuff! 😄

The new Dementor sequence runs more smoothly than the previous version, from the visuals to the music! My one gripe is that the tunnel ambience is a tad overbearing, but that may be due to Streamable’s stereo downmix. The final release will sound the way it’s supposed to, no doubt.

And the second nightmare sequence… perfection. 👌

Excellent job!

Thank you, Cam. Everything is done from scratch, but the new opening is in spirit of what the original opening was.

New Ultimate Edition Opening: https://streamable.com/81e7w6

Another banger, as always! 🤩

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Revisited [Ultimate Edition] by Anjohan

Outstanding from beginning to end! The new intro 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 Williams’ classic themes from Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets. PoA is Williams’ final contribution to the Harry Potter series and it really is a shame that his themes weren’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. 😉

Overall, another fantastic job by the maestro! Order of the Phoenix is next and I have a feeling it’s going to be a treat. Highly recommended for the die-hard Harry Potter fans!

(Should’ve posted this before the GoF review lmao)

10/10

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Revisited [Ultimate Edition] by Anjohan

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 won’t elaborate as I feel this should be viewed as blindly as possible, although I reckon some of you will already know what I’m talking about.

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 don’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, shouldn’t have been left out. This truly feels like a more complete experience!

The sound mixing is nothing short of impeccable. The SFX and ambience in certain scenes makes the environment feel more… magical. That’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 doesn’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! 👏

Can’t wait for Order of the Phoenix through Deathly Hallows! I just gotta wait for Andreas to finish his GoT edits. 😄

9/10

As someone who hasn’t bothered to watch the show, I think this edit will be just right for me.

I also remember the wonderful opening sequence you expertly constructed! I’m hoping that remains in the OotP Ultimate Edition! 😄

Looks like we’re nearing the finish line!

V5 consists mainly of AI additions, but I have a feeling it’ll become the definitive version of Ascendant… at least until Disney decides to release those deleted scenes lmao. 😄

My hope is that he purchased the 4K UHD Steelbook and is swapping his source material.

That might explain the lack of any recent updates.
