How Far We've Come

[22steffon]

Why doesn't this have over 100,000 views?!?!?

[WingardiumLevi0za]

Still one of the best Harry Potter videos that I've ever seen.

[KitCatch22]

I hate to be the one to say this, because this is an absolutely fantastic vid, but someone not entirely familiar with the books and movies might watch this video and think, 'so, wait, is every book basically the same plot, just a new year?' XD

[MusikCity1]

@KitCatch22 But why would someone not familiar with the books or movies watch a FAN tribute?

[KitCatch22]

@MusikCity1 Oh, I know, I was just trying to point out the similarities between the plot of every moving XD

[beehappyfull]

I love this, whenever I watch it it rips my heart open a little, in a good way. Have you made any video incorporating Deathly Hallows part 2, I would love to see this with Neville being as awesome as he was in that, also Fred's death, although seeing how emotional this wonderful video makes me, I'm not sure I could handle that

[kittyprydex]

Ohhhhhh, you just made me tear up :s

[MsRyebread21]

wow sooo amazing i absolutely love it!! xoxo

[GryffidorGirl3535]

P.S. I think its clever how you showed the people that died at 2:08 - 2:33

[GryffidorGirl3535]

Even after almost a year since I first saw this I still love it soooo much. Probably one of my fave HP music vids ever. I love the way you fit the clips so perfectly to the music and lyrics. Beautifully made.

[mytbesa]

You should have done Sirius in the chorus, though. You could have his death in the 'come'.

[mytbesa]

This is possibly the best Harry Potter video on the entire web

[StillJustDreaming]

Great job - this video was amazing!!!

[AL3XDUNN]

you should remake this with all 8 :D

[Vaderyale94]

amazing so frewaking great i love this so much <3

[elstra1]

Iv'e always assosiated this song with Harry Potter so i'm thrilled that i found this video : )

[TheNamehere123]

i really liked how for the "lets see how far we've come, let's see how far we've come" starting at 1:51, you went like "through the years" with voldemort and dumbledore. very clever!

[owlette42]

Seriously amazing video. Though I've watched it so many times, I will admit (and I feel like an idiot) that this was the first time I noticed that the 6 clips or so starting at 2:20 was of all the people who died (Fred, Tonks, Lupin, Colin, Snape). AND THEN THERE WERE ALL THE CREYS.

[MrKabutoYakushi]

2 people thought this was a video for twilight

[MrKabutoYakushi]

SNAPEEEEEE

[BlueCollarTweaker]

Remains the most amazing compilation/montage of the series I've yet seen. Can't wait to see what comes next, considering we now have all eight movies!

[piercewise1]

Best AMV I've ever seen, by far. HOW does this not have millions of views?!

[expectopatronum25]

this video was amazing! Good job!!! I loved how it went with the pace of the song and it just flowed very nicely. This was brilliant! :D

[SpringHiller09]

This was sooooo good!!

[littledancinlady]

i cried ;_; i'm not ready for the end :(

[PicturePerfect211]

that was amazingg!!!!!

[PicturePerfect211]

that was amazingg

[SnipingIsFun]

Great movie

I am going to be sad when it is all over after the movie and game come out. I want the series to continue. A few more books, some games based off Quidditch and whatnot, etc would be sweet.

[JohnnyXFay]

So, I'm watching this for the 80th time, and it JUST hits me that Colin Creevey died in the books. I mean, I knew it, but it just hit me and I almost cried.

[LemondropWho]

This is amazing. ALL MY LOVES. :DDDDDDD

[wowPeachyfantastic]

I LOVE HARRY POTTERS MOVIES THERE THE BEST

[10morenoe]

This video was amazing. could not have done better myself... excellent... excellent! really reminds me how much i miss the series.... now i'm in the mood to make a fan fic

[dylansayswords]

That was incredible! <3

[shinzybtvsfan]

I was listening to this song today, and it made me think of Harry Potter and I knew someone had to have made a video. This is amazing. The end with The Trio made me tear up a little bit. I hope you remake it now that the Part 1 DVD is out and so is the Part 2 trailer. If you don't that's cool because this is amazing on its own.

[fakeaccount663]

i only ever liked the first three you cant beat those, after the third one the story almost completely changes.

[Yelsaew]

1:24 - "Took a look at myself." Oh, ho, ho. Yes. The cleverness of you.

[hptwilighter]

Such a wonderful retrospective video. I really like your editing style.

[mostprofoundquiet]

That was beautiful--can I just--

-tears up-

Seriously, though, it was amazing!

[AccioHHr]

That may have been the best video I have ever seen and I have seen A LOT of videos. I am in tears and in absolute awe. Saddened beyond belief for the end yet ridiculously happy that I had the HONOR of being a part of Harry Potter and the fandom. Thank you so much for this tribute. Just STUNNING.

P.S. Could have done w/o the R/Hr and H/G (hahahaha) but I obviously understand (doesn't mean I like it - boo hoo for me).

[HazelSageHP]

I am absolutely in awe of this! Completely brilliant! Probably one of the best tributes I've ever seen! Thank you so much for this!

[Oodlesxofxnoodles]

I just realized how much the 2nd part of Deathly Hallows is going to kill me. When you showed clips of all the people going to die...I started crying! How mean of you!

XD No, but it was brilliant and epic and it really did make you feel everything all at once.

[MrsPattinson25]

This is exceptional -- and I really love how you didn't use effects because they usually take away from the video. Very, VERY well done. :)

[Sinki606]

super great

[Lilynettemiel]

Simply Epic! Wow! Thanks so much for sharing!

[Elliebet]

What a wonderful tribute to nearly ten years of Harry Potter and Company:) Thanks~

[loveeelucy]

absolutely adore this... only wish there had been a bit more luna in it but I guess she wasn't in all the films so you wouldn't really have been able to show her changing over the series like you did with the others. Love it though well done! 

[sophieluvspotter]

omg! i love it! harry potter=love :)

[rizco722]

MAGNIFICENT!! im having goosebumps..... Let's see how far we've come!

Let's see how far we've come!

Let's see how far we've come! All hail Harry Potter ♥ Nice video!!

[TheHorcruxFinder]

I think it's safe to say that i broke the replay button by clicking it som many times ;)

[magikspells]

Totally awesome!

[brandt516]

this video was epic, LEGEN.....wait for it.....DAIRY!!!!

[fentina]

This song has probably been used for every Movie or TV series that is out there,for some there are a good 50 vids with this song...but I have to honestly say that your vid is the best out of any fandom. I have never seen a better vid to this song than yours :)

[bluejayway4]

That was amazing...you did an excellent job matching up the lyrics with the right clips.

[Elfgirl710]

This is the best HP video I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of HP fanvids. Good job!

[bellalysewinchester]

AMAZING!!! it really puts all the character development into perspective! (also, on a callous david tennant fangirl-note, my favorite parts were the couple of half-second scenes of barty jr)

[KarliMeaghan]

@bellalysewinchester I'll admit, as an unapologetic David Tennant fangirl myself, I made sure to include him as much as I could. ;)

[xXMelloEiriXx]

Amazing! It's definitely shown "how far you've come with" with video editing! XD I'm just so happy I found one of my fav vidders from the past :)

[GryffidorGirl3535]

my favorite relationship it the Harry/Ginny one at 3:09

[prissyhalliwell]

I get tingles everytime I watch this :)

[tmandas07]

Congrats....Epic Moive :D

Just one question though, what program did you use to make it and how did you get the video to be frammed like that with the white outline? :)

[KarliMeaghan]

@tmandas07 Thanks, I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio 6.0 to make my videos, and it has a "border" option under the FX tools.

[TheHorcruxFinder]

This is by far one of my favourite Harry Potter fan made videos.

I'm definitely checking the rest of your videos.

Keep up the awesome work, you give the harry potter books/movies justice. :)

[believer713]

what perfection! Perfect song, perfect video clips. Thanks so much for your hard work!

[ElphabaRose]

perfection. 

[murihiku]

The "let's see how far we've come" sequences are lovely and moving, and very clever when you switch from characters to relationships. I find myself waiting for the next "let's see how far we've come" refrain--what will it be this time?

[LittleJemmi]

That was an awesome video! Really well made and... wow.:)

[tashaemofairy]

This video is amazing, one of my favourite HP videos I've seen! I adore this song, and you picked all the best clips, which make you get a real feel for the films. You've done a fantastic job of editing too! :)

[CallistaHogan]

This is probably THE best Harry Potter video I have ever seen. It is just wonderfully put together. I'm speechless, actually.

[HandmaidenAnde]

This was so amazing. I loved all the themes throughout, from the kids growing up(they were so wee!), to the DA teachers, to the horcurxes and the development of the relationships. And then all those we will lose in DH. This made me tear up. Excellent, excellent vid. Fun and moving.

[rubeusbeaky]

That video was amazing! I loved your sync and the clips you chose. If you decide to make an iPod compatible version available let us know ^^. I would love to have this music video on the go.

[JanePotter06]

This just brought back everything I ever loved about Harry Potter, from the first book I read to the first one I bought to the first one I ever waited in line for; from the movies that were so bad because the actors were so young but I didn't care because I was barely older than them to the movies where they've actually grown up and taken the characters to incredible heights; from when the story was for kids to when it was for adults; when it made me laugh and cry and everything else. Thank you.

[BlueCollarTweaker]

Best. Fan. Vid. Ever.

Already said that on LiveJournal, but it needed saying twice. And the one person who hit 'Dislike'... wow, really?

[tikawaylan]

Great video!

[pedestriancow]

very good video.... the only thing is that it is jsut a little too fast .... like i can barely register the images. and i always thought that this song fits the harry potter story so well. great quality too~ thanks for sharing this with us! ***Fav***

[GryffidorGirl3535]

i've watched this about thirty times so if the views go up a lot it was probably me

[GryffidorGirl3535]

i love it so much i cant stop watching

[GryffidorGirl3535]

i like how u shoe the characters growing up

[CatDeAnt]

[sara2007]

[inseparablexbonds]

THIS IS PERFECTION.

*________*

[CaclonProductions]

The way you match the lyrics to the video is incredible. well done.

[virtuouscircle]

Simply perfect - as usual. Thank you for continuing to be so creative.

(Can't wait to see if you will use HP6 further, especially the parts with Snape and/or Dumbledore.)

[prissyhalliwell]

One word: Perfect

[camkin]

This is really one of the best fanvids I have ever seen. In any fandom. It's a wonderful reminder of just how awesome this series is. Thanks for making me cry!

[xHAPpyProductionsx]

Whoa this is so epic!

Amazing song, amazing editing and just...awesome!

Shows just how amazing HP really is.

[greenfiend06]

AMAZING truly amazing! I especially loved all the 'lets see how far we've come' parts where you had all the most important characters as well as the relationships. Excellent job!

[gotmusic9]

Ahhh this was SO GOOD! The whole concept of really capturing the progression of the films and the characters was done really well, I loved it.

[joaniemaloney]

Oh wow, absolutely brilliant.

Every HP should watch this. A quick dose of nostalgia. <3

[SGR91]

This is...WOW

Just WOW.

You made me cry. Excellent work.

[rageloveszephyr]

Jesus CHRIST this had me sobbing.

[igrivea]

got chills. amazing. thumbs fucking up!

[handdrawnhelicopters]

Your editing in this was amazing, and the choice of scenes to match the song were fantastic. I totally teared up at the end. Great, great video. Thank you! :')

[GitYoFunOn]

Hmm. And now I don't think I'll ever be able to hear this song and not think of Harry Potter.

[4EyedBlonde]

PLEASE EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO SOB IN THE CORNER

[Roselize21]

Could this possibly be the best video EVER made?

[AniDex]

Brilliant! <3 Loved it.

[ArtemisRampant]

This video just makes you feel everything HP has made you feel over the years, except all at once. Exceptionally well done. Reminded me how much I love the series.

[GallifreyanLovers]

Great as always!

[BelieveInFate]

Great video... but didn't you get a warning or something try to prevent you from uploading this since the music is copyright? Just curious because I make fan music videos myself but I've stopped uploading them because I thought they wouldn't get past the uploading process due to the copyright music.

[KarliMeaghan]

@BelieveInFate I did get a "Matched third party content." notice about the audio, but the message also said that no actions would be taken.

[vampirate27]

Amazing video!

[Sake1987]

awesome!

[zanirra]

Love this! Great way to capture 10 years of Harry Potter love :D

[RenaissanceWednesday]

[RiamtheWanderer]

Wow. You made me want to read and watch it all over again. It was wonderfully put together.

[ChocolateFaggot]

This is amazing! <3

[PlainJaneProductions]

Supposedly this song was written about Harry, so, excellent song choice.

Great tribute. The scenes really matched with the music. One of the best Harry Potter music videos I have seen.

[appleXinkling]

Oh wow. A perfect tribute; it really shows the journey with all the emotions, good and bad :) Aw, made me feel all nostalgic.

[I was so excited you'd posted a new vid btw...]

[hermionetheknowitall]

Amazing....You have no idea how better this made me feel.

[Ravenholdt1]

Glad to see a new Harry Potter vid of you! I love it! The vid fitted the music perfectly and I just kept repeating the piece of Draco. =) Well done!

[ayumikoshiro]

[Pipsky12]

Amazing vid!

[legslikelegolas]

i have made a video (which youtube killed) and i love that someone else has recognized the epic combination of this song and harry.

[bradeatspeeps]

I'm obsessed with this song used in fanvids, and this is one of the BEST. Fantastic work!

[jacyevans]

I have been DYING for someone to make a Harry Potter video to this song, and this is everything I hoped it would be :D

[somerdaye]

oh my dear god. that was so amazing, I just have no words.

[meeshell384]

Oh how I've missed your videos. This one definitely disappoint. It was well worth the wait. Great tribute!

[andrewdafoe]
