Darkest Before The Dawn | Harry Potter

[saz19126]

The last part with all the people who have died makes this really effective for me - so sad

[meeshell384]

@saz19126 I'm really glad you enjoy it. Thank you. :)

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

I am dancing around my living room with tears in my eyes because this is so perfect!

[meeshell384]

@XxMadAboutPotterxX That's definitely a reaction I never expected to hear about, but I'm so loving that you told me. Thank you! :D

[droopycupid101]

I bawled my eyes out watching this. This combines my two favourite things; Harry Potter and Florence and the Machine <3

[meeshell384]

@droopycupid101 Two of my favorite things in life as well. Thank you! :)

[Cenarius11]

This is so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

[meeshell384]

@Cenarius11 Thank you so much!

[LouBable]

OMFG this is MIND BLOWING and superb to watch as the quality is outstanding!!! So many touching and truely amazing moments just loved every moment of it!!! Incredible editing and clips and of course the song is amazing and so perfect for this vid Has to be one of the best Harry Potter vids I have watched!!!!!!!!!!! <3333333333333333333333333 PHENOMENAL <3333333333333

[meeshell384]

@LouBable Ugh, this comment puts such a huge smile on my face. You have no idea. I wish I could say more than thank you right now, but I'm not even sure how to respond.

[LouBable]

@meeshell384 I'm glad my comments put a hugh smile on your face as this vid certainly put a hugh smile on my face and left me in awe. In fact it is now on my favs and is my feature vid!!!!!!!!!!! <3333333333333 I have also subbed<3333

[meeshell384]

@LouBable Aw, thank you so much for both featuring my video and for subscribing! :)

[DeathlyMasquerade]

FUCK ME o.O

i'm weeping here HELP!!!!!!!!

this so emotional, strong and it reminds of all the good and bad bits in HP.

seriously thanks for uploading, it's quite a gift being able to watch videos like that.

btw at 1:32 is Ron supposed to be the Devil????

[meeshell384]

@DeathlyMasquerade Aw, thank you so much! Very nice to read this comment!

And I have no idea what's going on with his eyes there. They're all black. From crying over Harry I guess. Who knows?

[DeathlyMasquerade]

@meeshell384 no worries! ahaha no! I was mearly mentioning the fact that you saw a clip of Ron when it says "with the devil on your back" LOL

[meeshell384]

@DeathlyMasquerade Oh! I thought you were talking about a different clip entirely. I didn't really look at the time you were referring to. ;)

But in the place where you mentioned. Yes, Ron is the devil. That left Hermione and made her sad. I was just using it there because she wasn't really allowing herself to have a good time without him.

[DeathlyMasquerade]

@meeshell384 I get it and I'm not judging but it's just weird to see Ron as The Devil

[WickedPotterGirl7]

I love that you put all the characters that died at the end there. Really touching. Great video! :)

[tessalin13]

beautiful. love this song, and you matched the clips to the lyrics beautifully. a moving interpretation :) well done!

[BellaLestrange3]

:'D

[kaydollll]

omg that ending <3

[somosinevitables]

OH GOD,I love this so much. Your editing style is so unique and flawless,great,great tribute to this amazing fandom <3333.BRILLIANT,you are brilliant.

[meeshell384]

@somosinevitables Thank you! That is very nice of you to say!

[cheapxdate]

omggg the end choked me up so unexpectedly. amazingg video!

[Sparralex]

Uggggh so in love with this song. Always in love with Harry Potter. And your editing omgsh. This is all so amazing :). I love your lyrical interpretation. "I've been a fool, and I've been blind," just to start. I could go through every lyric but that'd get boring because it's all perfect. LOVE this!

[meeshell384]

@Sparralex Psssh, you think that would bore me? Silly, silly girl. Hah, but I'd never expect you to do that anyway. Just knowing you think it makes me super happy. Thanks mama.

[musicndrums4]

I've never seen a Harry Potter video that accurately captures the true essence of family and love, triumph and struggle in the series and characters as well as this one does. It's an amazing video, and brought tears to my eyes. Loved it.

[meeshell384]

@musicndrums4 That is a major compliment. Really. I'm honestly so happy you think I was able to get so much of the series into one video. Thank you.

[magikaemy13]

1:45 sbaaaaaaaaav!

[warofheadvsheart]

Amazing!

[DarkPrincess1864]

really great!!!! <3

[meeshell384]

@gryffindorgirl17 Thank you so much! :D

[meeshell384]

@WDTBelong That really is an amazing compliment! Thank you!

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

I just got the chills!

[meeshell384]

@XxMadAboutPotterxX Excellent! Thank you! :)

[Slythyndor1092]

This is the most fantabulous video I have evah seen!!! Bravo, bravo!!!!!!

[meeshell384]

@Slythyndor1092 Aw, thank you so much for saying that!

[prideandprejudice05]

I adore the transition at :46 and at 1:22 to the faster beat. You always seem to find the perfect songs for your videos, in both melody and lyrics. It's hard to believe that the Harry Potter films are really over!

[meeshell384]

@prideandprejudice05 Thank you very much! And thank you for pointing out those two transitions. I definitely tried to choose my clips wisely for those parts. :)

[LilyEvans24]

Soo pretty :D what song did u use for your intro song ?

[Slythyndor1092]

@LilyEvans24 It's Shake It Out by Florence + the Machine

[meeshell384]

@LilyEvans24 Thank you!

It's Badly Drawn Boy - Silent Sigh. Says it at the end of the video.

[missdaydreamer101]

this is so stunning!!! I sooooo love this vid!!!! :D aww the ending was so moving!!! love your Harry Potter vids!!!

[meeshell384]

@missdaydreamer101 Aw, thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the end! :D

[NellyNCNelly]

This ... oh my goodness! This is bloody amazing!

[meeshell384]

@NellyNCNelly Thank you! I love when the British slang comes out. ;)

[NellyNCNelly]

@meeshell384 You welcome! ;) Hehe, yeah, me too! ;D

[IBothersSnape]

Oh michelle. This is amazing !!!

[meeshell384]

@IBothersSnape Thank you! :D

[VicuLopezwi]

Oh my lord..... Its incredible that a video can make me feel this way. Harry Potter is a very important part of my childhood and i almost cry when i saw this. I love all your videos but especially the Harry Potter's ones. You are amazing, please never stop doing this because you are magnificent

[meeshell384]

@VicuLopezwi Aw, that is really nice of you to say. I'm happy you enjoy my HP videos so much! I will definitely try to keep vidding it as long as I can. :)

[sparkleguardianangel]

...Stunning :D 

[meeshell384]

@sparkleguardianangel One word certainly says a lot. Thank you!

[KooriB]

i've always been a fan of your videos i know i already commented on this, but it has to be my top fav vid, you're just a fantastic vidder. and you've inspired me to do a vid with this song, thank you, i don't know why but you always give me the best inspiration.

[meeshell384]

@KooriB You can comment as often as you want. I definitely read every single one, and it's amazing to see people come back time and time again. So thank you!

I'm also so glad you got inspired to vid the song. It's pretty amazing, isn't it?

[KooriB]

@meeshell384 i always come back to watch ur vids, you really know how to capture the most beautiful moments in your vids with a really perfect song. Yes the song is sooo amazing!!! i love the whole album actually.

[MikeyT0601]

When you see Hermione in the color changing dress, you know that you're going to see a great Harry Potter video. But this, I can honestly say that this is one of your best. You were able to capture the last moments of the HP saga & remind us why we are all fans of this phenomenon. Allowing the emotion to come back, along with the tears. This is truly an incredible video. Thank you for this amazing christmas gift, Michelle.

[meeshell384]

@MikeyT0601 Thank you Mike! I'm really glad you have such high standards when you see her dress change (and it's even better that I met them this time)!

Hope you had a nice holiday! And Happy New Year!

[PrincessDarkHeart193]

Not gonna lie. I cried. Like a baby.

[meeshell384]

@PrincessDarkHeart193 And I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. ;)

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

And here come the tears. This is absolutely stunning!

[meeshell384]

@XxMadAboutPotterxX *hands you a tissue*

Thank you!

[witchfromkrypton]

I've watched this video several times in a row now, trying to pick out my favorite parts to compliment you on. And I can't do it, because every single second is my favorite part. God, your talent <3

[meeshell384]

@witchfromkrypton That's a huge, huge compliment! I'm so flattered you found it had to pick your favorite part. Thank you! :)

[TheDarkSaint777]

I didn't think the vid could get any better...and then I watched that small tribute you did for all those who died and it changed my mind. It got so much better. I LOVED IT!!! Great vid. :) <3

[meeshell384]

@TheDarkSaint777 Thank you! Glad I could give the vid an extra little boost at the end with the tribute. :)

[abbyrocks100]

ugh I literally stated crying when I saw that last bit, where you did the memorial of everyone that died. It was beautiful! Thank you so much for making this.

[meeshell384]

@abbyrocks100 Aw, you're so nice to say that! Thank you!

[SkanatKanay]

This blew my mind. I've seen so many HP vids and so few of them really stick out and are truly original. This is one of them. This might be my favorite Harry Potter vid yet. This is amazing work. You're amazing. You really did the series justice. I think Rowling would be proud.

[meeshell384]

@SkanatKanay This is probably the best compliment. I'm so happy you said this was original. It's definitely something I try to get into each video, but it's so hard these days. So thank you for saying that.

And I hope JK would be proud. :)

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

That was gorgeous! Holy crap.

[meeshell384]

@XxMadAboutPotterxX Haha. Thank you so much!

[catou121]

the tears definitely start at : i've been a fool and i've been blind'' And they dont ever stop, Im still here! Trying to analyze everything in this, but I just find little new things to obsess with! It's so beautiful, i really hope you realize that! I can keep commenting if it helps!

[meeshell384]

@catou121 Did I ever tell you that I loved you? I'm sure I have. But I feel the need to say it again.

[AnimaniacPro]

. . . TT_TT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SO SADDDD!!

[catou121]

GUESS WHAT?! Yes, Im crying! *oh nice, all the dead at the end, i have now a pool inside my house, wanna come swim? * This explains so well why I will miss HP! It keeps hitting... I think that's why I avoided vidded it for a while.. I just ugh... I cant deal with everything being over.. BOUUH! Anyway, the way you always choose the right clips to match the lyrics manage to make me crack everytime! Your attention to little details always impressed me dear! I bow, you're so amazing! I love you

[catou121]

@catou121 I dont think I put enough emphasis on how I love/hate this! I will stay here, trying not to drown myself. I rewatched it for the 3rd time and ugh, I really really miss it already. Never stop vidding HP dear! *hugs* ... My face taste like salt, kay, bye

[meeshell384]

@catou121 There are times when I forget just how hilarious you are. And then you go and invite me to swim in your house because of the tears. And that your face tastes like salt. I seriously love you. Like. I want you to come over and play with me love you. You're beyond adorable. And I feel bad for making your cry. I swear I didn't intend it THAT much this time. I figured with the end you'd need a tissue or two. Hah. But not this extent. *holds*

[bexitah]

wow I never thought of this song for Harry Potter but guess what? Amazing!!!

[meeshell384]

@bexitah Well, glad I was able to change your mind! Thank you! :)

[LadyMumblekins]

This is brilliant. I love Harry Potter and I love Florence, so this was amazing. I loved how the clips fit so well and just the whole feeling of the song really comes across. Love this, magnificent editing as always!

[meeshell384]

@LadyMumblekins Aw, thank you! I'm really glad you think the feeling of the song is still there.

[TopGrazy2]

AMAZING

[meeshell384]

@TopGrazy2 Thank you!

[Hufflepuff4792]

what song is this? its really good. i like the song and this video. :D

[meeshell384]

@Hufflepuff4792 Thank you!

It's "Shake It Out" by Florence + the Machine. Says it at the end of the video.

[lovelyintechnicolorx]

The part where you showed all of the people who had died... I am crying so hard right now. ohhhh harry potterrr

[meeshell384]

@lovelyintechnicolorx Oh Harry Potter indeed. :)

[LilyEvans24]

who sings this song ??

[iLoVeUjOeJoNaSX]

@LilyEvans24 Florence and the Machine

[RandHrShipper1]

Sigh, Michelle--you certainly know how to make tributes to this best of fandoms! Wonderful song choice, love the touching sequence showing the departed characters, and the use of black and white works too. Thumbs up and faved obviously!

[meeshell384]

@RandHrShipper1 Thanks Rachel! I'm always wary when using random bits of B&W, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[BottledMichelle]

ughhh michelle… ughhh

there's something about your harry potter videos that are and always will be my favorites. It's like you out your heart and soul into the videos, which I'm sure you do for every video. but with this ughh I love it so much. Please never stop making HP videos, they're so amazing. I can't even… so beautiful. I love your lyrical interp esp all the "darkest before the dawn" so fucking perfect. Like you. you did so amazing I can't.. So beautiful

[meeshell384]

@BottledMichelle I love you.

[AnnaGiuliaFiction]

Oh my wonderful Rowling, THE END. I actually teared up! I had to refrain my tears as soon as Tonks appeared. And Hedwig, oh dear. I love you. You really outdid yourself with this one, it's not perfect - because I can only limit perfection to the editing. This is SO MUCH MORE.

Really, truly beautiful piece of work.

[meeshell384]

@AnnaGiuliaFiction "Oh my wonderful Rowling". I'm definitely going to have to remember that one because it's just made of pure awesomeness.

Thank you so much for this amazing comment!

[LeSorelleGilmore]

Michelle, you have a beautiful talent. That of find the right songs (with perfect melodies, rithm and words) and the right scenes (of this adorable saga) to make a true masterpiece in every video! You have no idea of how many lovely songs I've learned to listen just thank to your vid! Thank you so much! Happy holidays!

[meeshell384]

@LeSorelleGilmore I've secretly made it my mission to force my music on as many people as possible. Every song I've used has been special to me in some way or another. And I'm so flattered that you've downloaded songs after hearing them in my videos. So thank you. I'm glad you liked the song (as well as the video)! :)

Happy holidays!

[TheNhunguyen]

I thought Lavender was seriously injured but she didn't die

[meeshell384]

@TheNhunguyen She looked very much not alive in that shot of her in the movie. I know she didn't die in the books, but it didn't come off that way to me in the movie.

[hptwilighter]

Wow, that was amazing

[meeshell384]

@hptwilighter Thank you!

[InspirationxStrikes]

I think HP will always give me goosebumps, no matter what what, this entire era has been part of my life and it feels a bit empty now that it's over. But it will never end, the magic keeps on and here's another proof of that. We still get amazing videos likes these, fanarts, fictions and more. Thank you for sharing this with us !

[meeshell384]

@InspirationxStrikes Couldn't say it better if I tried.

[elephantlover1995]

Simply gorgeous.

[meeshell384]

@elephantlover1995 Thank you!

[harrypotterforever94]

I think, this is a beautiful, amzing, breath-taking tribute. Well done!

[meeshell384]

@harrypotterforever94 Aw, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!

[DanFan7]

Merry Christmas, Michelle. Thanks for a year full of gorgeous videos, beautiful colours, profound (yes!) descriptions and your massive brilliance. I hope to see even more of all of that in 2012. Keep doing what you're doing, because this was another one of your masterpieces. And I actually love F+tM. Incredible. Thumbs up :)

[meeshell384]

@DanFan7 Hah. I doubt many (if any) of my descriptions have been profound. ;)

But thank you, Rose. It's definitely awesome knowing that I can entertain you. And Flo is definitely love. I think I'd be surprised to meet someone who didn't like her music.

[catminolte]

this is so beautiful!!! and so, so perfect!!! I love it!!! The end made me cry so much! <3

[meeshell384]

@catminolte Aw, thank you! I'm glad you were effected by the end so much. :)

[ThatDogNerd]

Beautiful!

[meeshell384]

@ThatDogNerd Thanks!

[Hermy483]

You don't need to say anything really, you said everything throught the video. I think I'm really annoying, I don't even know what to say anymore. Your videos are always wonderful, but your HP related videos are even more. When you showed all of the characters that died... my heart skipped a beat. This is beautiful. <3

[meeshell384]

@Hermy483 Oh my gosh. You're so not annoying. You're wonderful in every meaning of the word. I see your name in the comments and I get all giddy because whatever you say makes me blush. I can't thank you enough!

[madegirl69]

OMG!!!!!!!!!! this is so beautiful! just perfect!!! I loved it, it was....woooow!!!! hahaha I can't even express how amazing this was. It was beyond amazing, wonderful, beautiful, perfect and awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[meeshell384]

@madegirl69 That certainly is a lot exclamation points! And I absolutely love it! Thank you so much!

[JFresshhh]

Oh my goodness. Near the ending when you included clips of those who died... I'm all teary-eyed now. Congratulations. Well done, Michelle.

[meeshell384]

@JFresshhh I'm being congratulated on making you cry. That's just awesome! Thank you Jen. :)

[SparklingDreams88]

This has left me speechless. It was just simply amazing.

[meeshell384]

@SparklingDreams88 Thank you very much!

[wishesandstarryeyes]

holy frick that was amazing!!!

[meeshell384]

@wishesandstarryeyes Thank you so much!

[CantRushPerfectness]

omgggg Michelle! You make me speechless! What a powerful masterpiece! You chose the perfect scenes for this song and I love how you merged everything together. I always get all emotional while watching your videos, I can't find words to describe how awesome this actually is.

[meeshell384]

@CantRushPerfectness You don't need to say things like this to me anymore. You already bought me. I am now your puppet to control as you see fit.

I honestly have no idea how the two ideas are linked. I honestly just don't know how to say thank you to you anymore for your amazing comments.

[hsm3number1fan]

This is beautiful, absolutly mind blowing :D

@ImagineHarryHermione Thank you! :)

[StriderEstel]

This was one of the best HP videos I saw to date. And believe me when I say that I saw many.

I'm lost for words right now, so I'm just gonna say that I'm going to come back here a lot.

[meeshell384]

@StriderEstel Hah. Well you're welcome back any time.

But I'm honestly just glad you enjoyed it so much! Thank you!

[kayox32]

Perfection.

[meeshell384]

@kayox32 Thank you!

[TheVarpuli]

omg i just started to cry like a waterfall after all the dead ones started to show... ( exept that lavender actually didnt die)

[meeshell384]

@TheVarpuli Thank you!

She looked pretty not alive to me in the movie. But I know she didn't die in the books. Either way, I feel like she fit there.

[othfangirl2]

EPIC!
