Happy new year, and thank you JJ!

Speaking of deep faking so there’s one Dumbledore, when anyone is reading do they just imagine one version of him throughout or do they do a switch? For me it’s kind of weird I tend to think of Richard Harris then switch to Michael Gambon around the battle of the Department of Mysteries in Order (oddly enough I use Prisoner’s Flitwick all throughout). For consistency’s sake though with 6 movies to 2 it makes more sense to switch Harris to Gambon than the other way around.

Regardless deep fake brings up an interesting avenue, as with the change from Johnny Depp to Mads Mikkelsen which one would you stick with were you to change the look of Grindelwald in 7 to match his prequel counterpart? And is there anyone who, like me, would increase Harris’s tenure in the series beyond the first 2 movies?

Thanks for coming back JJ, really great to see a positive in the HP community with all the stuff going down recently.
The intros are looking good, hope all goes well with v2.0. We appreciate it!

Yeah. I had avoided getting the official extended discs of SS and CoS since I thought they were the same crappy ABC edits.
On the advice of people here I got them and they are indeed more professional than what ABC/Disney cobbled together.

I think I took issue with a couple of music cues and the fact that in Chamber… they didn’t fix the overdub of Hermione, at dinner, telling Ron and Harry to put on Crabbe and Goyle’s robes.

The overdub was added to the theatrical cut to explain the Slytherin robes they wear later. Hermione saying she got the robes for them from the laundry is a deleted scene. Both shouldn’t be in the same cut of the film.

Huh, didnt know that. Well now Im gonna think of Hermiones overdub (like Lukes if he even exists on Dagobah) whenever I watch CoS now lol, cool piece of trivia

Which line is overdubbed?

My bad idk if you’re talking about the Harry Potter one or the star wars one so I’ll just explain both.

In Chamber of Secrets when Hermione tells Harry and Ron to pluck hairs from Crabbe and Goyle at dinner it cuts to a reaction shot of Harry and Ron looking at eachother and you hear Hermione say “and you’ll need their robes” (or something to that effect. If my understanding of the post is correct Emma Watson never said this line when filming the scene and they had her record it and put it in later.

In Empire Strikes Back when Luke is setting up his camp on Dagobah and plugging in R2 into the power generator, he says “Now all I have to do is find this Yoda…if he even exists”. The line originally ended at “Yoda” when filming and they had Mark Hamil record the “if he even exists” part after. Unlike the CoS add in you dont see Hermione’s face when she says it so you wouldn’t be able to tell (at least I didn’t) unless you had prior knowledge. In ESB Luke’s mouth is open but not moving (enough to say the line) when the line is added in, so it kind of gives off a ventriloquist vibe (I forget what youtuber I heard make that comparison, probably HelloGreedo if I had to guess based on my watch history). In the DVD they tried to make Luke’s mouth move but you can still tell. Theres a little blurb on it on the ESB IMDB in the category “goofs” under “Audio/visual unsynchronized” if you want to read more, but that’s pretty much the gist of it.

Just found this project and read through the thread. Sucks what happened, hopefully this guy will stop with the distribution and uncrediting of JJ.

If I read correctly apparently the extended editions on abc family and the ones released for SS and CoS are different. Didnt realize that when I watched through the extended blu ray that came with the 4k of CoS, are their any examples of their differences?

Anyone able to pm the link? Grew up on the DVD versions and would love to check these out, as the blu ray versions dont do much for me (ex. new Obi Wan yell in IV and the scene cutting that ruins the music in the Dooku fight in II). Would be appreciated!
