Fantastic idea, I would love to hear this experience!

Did you also use the music from the John Williams collection from two years ago?
The Complete Recordings and Recording Sessions from the rest of the movies are also great.

I’d suggest the OST from Hogwarts Mystery and the trailer music form the movies.
Maybe there are some jewels in there, or cues for certain scenes.

Other source music from the movies:

• Dick Walters - Hot Liquorice
• Jungle Jazz Room - Steve Gray
• La Cumparsita https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XcYLoOij8Q
• Big Beat Repeat - Josh Powell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7ZCrjo6BaE
• My love is always here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VONDFSBZig

Trailer music

• Brand-X Music - Anticipation (trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ri_ZiZWHc8, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY-L_z93oy8)
• Bittersweet Dreams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLm1_mWJEqY
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iftZpuQjT_0
• Hogwarts Legacy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET4rbS_1iKo

The game OST for 5 and 6 were rereleased last year with better quality under the name ‘EA Music Composer Series: James Hannigan Vol. 1-2 Soundtrack’

Hey JJPotter, fantastic to hear you are continueing with this project, I can only praise your edits!

I’d like to suggest the OPEN MATTE versions for the ultimate movie experience, is this something you would like to consider for the next update (or after that)?

I know it would be more work but maybe you like these Open Matte versions even more than I do.
Recently KK650 uploaded the movies 1-6 with improved audio on 1337, you can see the screenshots there.

There is a shot in the Deathly Hallows trailer (https://youtu.be/MxqsmsA8y5k?t=65) with the protecting shield crumbling down on Hogwarts, I always thought it was really unfortunate they didn’t include it in the movie. Is that shot something you could consider to include it in your Extended Edition?

Some other deepfake ideas:

• CoS young Tom Riddle in HBP flashback scenes
• Jude Law as Dumbledore in CoS flashback scenes (and maybe also in HBP?)
• DHp2 Grindelwald with older looking Johnny Depp / Mads Mikkelsen face (edit: also suggestion from Tommym38)

If possible it would be amazing and and also chronologically correct if you can insert the short pan and zoom scenes of the exterior of the Great Hall and Viaduct from the first PS and CoS.

Although, you can also choose for the pan and zoom scenes from film 3-5 because in CoG the Viaduct Courtyard and “new” Great Hall frontside is in the background. Then you don’t have to deal with (getting digitally rid of) the Chamber of Reception.

Potential zooming in shots in order:

(0:45-0:46 seconds)
0:04-0:05 seconds
0:39-0:40 seconds
0:06-0:07 seconds (maybe cutting it a bit from the left and zoom in so the Chamber of Reception isn’t there)

Here’s a funny youtube video about exactly this Hogwarts Castle “problem” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id5XIfhS1AQ
People can say “IT’S MAGIC” and be done with it, but what’s the fun in there! 😉 I think it’s a nice challenge and a personal touch if you can and want to do it.

I haven’t been able to see the previous Harry Potter fanedits but I’m looking forward to watch and enjoy them!

Edit: For far more detailed information about where the deleted scenes fit in the story (and which scenes where originally filmed but not put in the extended edition on blu ray) I highly recommend these links:

It’s fascinating to discover how much material isn’t in the movie; deleted scenes that actors mention in their junket interviews before and after the premiere, scenes we saw in the movie trailers that are not in the released version, and notes in the final script that was published.

The problems most people have with this movie are easy to hang on J.K. Rowling but I think David Yates and all the editing are much more of a problem. It could have been a much better movie if more if not all the original script material would have been put in the film. I hope the delayed release of Fantastic Beasts 3 (November 21, 2021 instead of November 2020) is a blessing so everything will be planned better for the arc of film 3-5.

Hello Andreas, I really like this Harry Potter fanedit project and look forward to see the the progress and results!

As a suggestion that I think is important that didn’t make it in the fifth movie but out of the blue was in the seventh movie; the mirror of Sirius!
Is it possible to include it in Order of the Phoenix in any way, so the callback in Deathly Hallows Part 1 is fullfilled?
