JP, you did great on the video. It summarized so well everything that we as fans have experienced throughout 2007, which we will never experience again in the same way. The music was perfect and the scenes you picked were too. If you haven’t already, or aren’t already in the profession, you should seriously consider film and/or television editing or even producing.
Happy New Year everyone!
Wow. I am a Video editor, so take my word that this was a very good job and must have taken hours upon hours of work. The fast cutting final sequence alone would be quite a task. Good work Mr or Ms JP.
From the Cunningham/Cordova Burrow in Broken Arrow, OK. USA; a happy and most prosperous 2008 to all!
The video was absolutely brilliantly done, JP! Aw gosh…10 years it’s been? And I got into these books at what age, 4? If of course I had known of the books these ten long, amazing years.
Words cannot describe what kind of journey this had been and the impact Harry Potter has made on my life. takes a deep, long breath. Yup, I’m completely satisfied.
Congratulations to JP on creating an outstanding video and a heartfelt thank you for the joyful ride and thank you, of course, to all the folks at Leaky who give so much for us fans. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
OMG!! That was an amazing video. It was a timeline of the fantasy series we all know and love. I can’t believe it’s all over (well there are 2 movies and the Scottish book yet to come but, the main thing is all over).... I’m having difficulty putting down what I feel in words. The ending was fantastic, with the music and the movies going back in sequential order and then jumping to the 5th movie, OMG!! words can’t describe how great that movie made me feel! Thanks JP!!
That was amazing! I am so glad I watched it. Wonderful video, Thanks JP.
WOW…...THAT WAS EXCITING TO WATCH KUDOS TO JP FOR AN OUTSTANDING JOB. HE SHOULD GO INTO EDITING FULL TIME. THE LAST PART BLEW ME AWAY. THE EXCITEMENT WAS EXTREME IN THE BEGINNING BUT IT GOT BETTER AND BETTER AS IT ENDED. THAT WAS …ANOTHER …..WOW.
Oh….MY….GOD. Dude! That was AMAZING! It definatly gave me chills..did it leave anyone else close to crying??? Jeeze! Congrats to JP. It really summed it all up very well. I agree with ‘Someone’. It’s been a wild ride, and it will be great to say ‘We were there’.
Thanks JP. Then ending also gave me chills. It made me relize that the past of HP has been fulled with greatness. :D
what an amazing journey harry potter has been on my life as well as many millions of others…..heres to another wonderfullly amazing 10 years whether it be filled with book releases galore or not our fandom shall continue strong i can feel it and im proud to be able to say im part of something as splendid as “the Harry Potter Phenomen” (sorry i probably spelled phenomen wrong) a very happy 2008 to all readers
hey HPhorsegirl, yeah it brought me really close to tears as well….. i cant say ive been a fan for ten years, im a 9th grader in highschool but i have been reading since 1st or 2nd grade, and the trip ive taken in my life thanks to these books is really somethign that i find irreplacable, i dont believe i can imagine my childhood being what it is without HP
OMG that was fantastic!!!! Are you sure you aren’t bucking to be a film editor on a HP movie are you? LOL Congrats all round—wonderful!!
What a special treat!!!!! Thank you JP for a wonderful compilation of the past 10 years I’d frgotten about that dinosaur thing!
From all of us, at Dragon’s Landing (that’s what we call home) a very happy and prosperous New Year…........I know that Harry will be with us long after the “last movie”. After all, there’s still “The Scottish Book” to come! JKR is an icon and ‘Harry, Hermione and Ron’ are legend. JP, you did a magnificent job, and I have sent news, of your work, to everyone I know! TLC Rocks, JKR Rocks, Harry, Hermione and Ron Rock and Happy New Year, again!
What kind of file is this? That viewer is too small to see anything. I tried to download it but the computer doesn’t know what kind of program plays it. I tried everything I could think of but it just doesn’t work.
JP!!!! You’re BACK!! :) For those who don’t know, he used to edit bi-weekly videos that summarize the latest Harry Potter news at the Veritaserum site…. and I guess he’s working with Leaky now… ;) EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!! :D
