It definitely improves the pacing a lot. Even though the original book being separated into 2 films allowed for the films to be very faithfully to the book, the story suffers a lot. Some scenes are dragged-on and we feel the slow passing of the months (sometimes that helps the story but most of the times it worsens the experience...)

The cuts were fine, audio and video were seamless for me.

Even if some cut scenes were useful to understand the whole story, I believe any HP fan already knows the book's story by heart, and only wants a more flowing and focused experience when watching Deathly Hallows. This delivers that experience, for me

Thanks to Q2 for all the work!

I have to say I have read a lot of very positive reviews, and I feel bad giving a not so glowing one...

The good: This edit cuts the fat. *Most* of the story still made sense and made part 1 a little more snappier and action filled which I enjoyed a lot.

The bad: Sadly it was extremely obvious each time a cut was made. I know it's hard to make the sound/music seamless when you are making a fan edit, but that's the challenge, and the best editors make it unnoticeable. There was a lot of messy or obvious sound blemishes when a cut was made. Even on the visual side of things, at one point there's a very obvious lo-fi fade out tin order to make a cut.

I like what Q2 is trying to do here, but someone with more editing skills needs to do this a bit more professionally in order to make this the preferred option of viewing.

Much love, still an enjoyable edit <3

Q2 comes in with the big save. I have to say it's much easier to watch Deathly Hallows, while both good movies, I just hate sitting through part 1. This edit seamlessly edits the two films together into one coherent movie.

Visual this fan edit is pretty good. I have no complaints with how Q2 edits, this is pretty close to how I would do a Deathly Hallows fan edit (thanks Q2 for saving me the work!) The audio is top notch, when I first got into fan edits, all the audio was either too high o too low. Q2 hits the nail on the head with this one.

I highly recommend giving this a chance! It took 1&2's place in re-watches for me.

Time and time again I find myself giving the Potter films another chance. With every new viewing I wish for the movies to somehow improve. Either by discovering cinematic choices I neglected the previous viewing, or by a newly discovered emotional chord within. Sadly, the result is always the same: Apart from PS, CoS and most of PoA, I don't enjoy the Potter films. The fourth and fifth are what they are, and the sixth is the-one-which-must-not-be-seen.

HP and the Deathly Hallows (both of them) contains more story yet manages to a) feel too long and b) feel rushed. An achievement, if nothing else. The writing in some parts is atrocious, especially the "Seven Potter"-sequence and its explanatory, stiff and hastened dialogue. Furthermore, the Potter/Voldemort hide-and-seek climax, from its beginning in the courtyard to its inevitable end, is vile. A putrid mess and a massive change so emotionally different from the source I can only goggle at it in disbelief. Context complete.

Q2 possesses a damn fine skill set, as this edit displays. Impeccable cutting, slicing and editing of both audio and video. What he cut I didn't miss. Most of it gave the film a pleasant pace and a admirable tightening. Regarding the narrative I can only agree with aztek463's note about the cursed name of Voldemort.

Unfortunately, the removal of some stuff (i.e. the admirable tightening) leaves less time in between the poor writing. Thus, it becomes more noticeable. On the one hand the edit is superb, on the other it makes the film even less enjoyable to me (and thus the rating).

While I can revel in Q2's amazing work, I cannot enjoy the movie. Everything is pure quality from Q2 and he deserves all the praise. Alas, my enjoyment of his edit and skill as a fan editor is lessened by the very subject Q2 edits. Nevertheless, it is an edit I want to recommend for those seeking a perfect edit of a film they enjoy and are familiar with.

Stellar work, Q2!

Wow Q2!

I must say i never liked DH part 1 because it is boring and long with little action, and you did an amazing job at it. It flows smoothly.

About part 2 i think that you shouldn't had cut/trim a few scenes:
- I always liked the opening scene where we see Severus watching over the students and the music (this is just a preference, so don't count this one)
- The battle of Hogwarts could have more action
- Why did you cut the Elder Wand cracking and hurting Voldemort as well as that scene were he is analyzing his wound and send Lucius to find Severus? (If you didn't want to show him humiliating Lucius you could trim it a bit)
- I think you shouldn't have cut Voldemort's awakening after killing HP and Narcisa lying that HP was dead
- I think it was an important scene to see Draco's reluctance to join the Voldemort and it caused an inconsistency, because in one frame Draco isn't behind Voldemort with his parents and on the next frame he's suddenly there
These are the reasons to why i won't give a 10 in narrative.

Tank you so much for removing the end scenes where they are "old" and send of their children to school! Awful scenes bahhh!

PS: I know that the movies get a darker color after third movie (i think), but i in my opinion it gets too dark that i always have to change the contrast and brightness lol. This is just a general comment.

Totally recommend it! And it is now my official 2 parts in 1 movie of the Deathly hollows! =)) Good work Q2
