James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing Part 1

[YTBerserk]

at first i thought that this was a prequal, then i heard harry's name... then i see something about a book, what is happening

[danicrdenas]

I tought it would be better... And I didn't like the American accent.

[S519Z398]

ME AND MY FRIEND WROTE THE NEXT BOOK

AND THE NEXT MOVIE.... NOT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE!

WE'RE THE NEXT JK PEOPLE!!!!!

[TheMaybesinger]

What kind of junk is this

[XXXRemoJuniorXXX]

DISGUSTING...I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY...JUST DISGUSTING...

[igetcrazy2456]

one word stupid

[beccaw74]

@SeamusFinnigan4ever i totally agree.

[LovelyLuna713]

"privet use", "JK Rowking", "repective", "comerical", "uncopencated"

You know, it wouldn't hurt to proofread your typed intro....The atrocious spelling and the mistyping of JK Rowling's name don't exactly give a person high hopes for the quality of the "movie" itself, or much incentive to even waste the time watching it.

How about: "private use", "JK Rowling", "respective", "commercial", "uncompensated"

[reebeckah123]

Introduction in American accent ruins it a bit...

[themateushenrique17]

It would be nice to have subtitles, so he could translate to other countries, as in my case for Portuguese in Brazil.

[gambit2479]

too bad the real james was a dick/bully to people like snape..

[TearsBehindSmiles]

@gambit2479 Too bad that this isn't about James Potter I. It's about Harry's son. They share a name. It doesn't mean they share the same douchebag ways. And, if you recall, Snape was kind of an ass himself. Calling Lily a mudblood because she tried to stand up for him? Pretty dick move. Not trying to put either character down, but they both had their weaknesses.

[MrTeamDraco]

@gambit2479 this is harry's son James, not harry's father James. Read the description

[NoobTwinz5]

@TheDannyoffthewall Wait, sorry about that. I think only James has it. The rest don't, oddly.

[TheDannyoffthewall]

@NoobTwinz5 Cool Love the books though.

[XAndiAHx]

im confused 0.o

[KeziahLockwoodMusic]

*CRINGE* sorry but it is V cringeworthy!

[TheDannyoffthewall]

I'm sorry I'm sure I would love this but I can't handle the American accents...sorry

[NoobTwinz5]

@TheDannyoffthewall Well if you had watched past the intro, you'd see that they're speaking with English accents.

[TheDannyoffthewall]

@NoobTwinz5 I did and they're not.

[Barcelonek]

CHCEMY NAPISÓW !

POLSKA !

[01haohao]

is james potter relate to harry potter

[AmericanBadass44]

@01haohao His son James Sirius Potter

[wolfsrock101]

@01haohao ...youre fuckin stupid.

[communara]

The dark-haired actor at 4:20 looks a little like daniel radcliffe! Totally thought he was Harry. You should take advantage of the likeness!

[timebandit754]

So that guy just conviently carries stuff to heal a broken arm on him?

[zemoroza]

about the last thing im not sure, but thats what ive heard, and sorry for any mistakes in english :)

[zemoroza]

Fuzzidio

no, nobody aswered me, but even if he wrote it for his children, he finally published it. it was not his to continue and mess with, so i cannot support him.i dont like people who ''steal'' others work.rowling may decided to write a book about james potter in the future,but now she cant as there is already a famous one published.well,that;s unfair since SHE was the one to create this world.apart from that,i think that a giffidor,a ravenclow and a MUGGLEBORN! slytherin cannot be friends

[bamdrea]

@zemoroza

if you bothered looking at his site..he's said he has never published nor will ever publish the james potter series. he's not in it for the money, and I can't see how he would be able to get any of it published either. with all the legal protection surrounding JK rowling and warner bros, there's just no way he could.

[jmoody270bc]

there is no website jamespotterfilms ....

[CODNitro9]

I don't like it. It's nothing compared to the real Harry Potter and seriously why would Harry let his kid do all this wouldn't he just get Ron, Hermione and himself do it???

[muddin69]

WHEN DID THESE START?????????????????????????­???

[hobbitno12]

@muddin69 If i remember from the forum correctly the first half of the movie was lost or something

[2130021300]

is this a real movie??!!??!!

[SnapshotOfASoul]

@2130021300 Yep!

[tjbro13]

In response to all the negative comments, I have to mention that this IS truly the author's own story and that you have to read the book to understand.

[Fangz64]

No matter what people say, the author of this new James Potter series is good, no doubting it. He really seems to get JK Rowling's characters, following up her stories with his own, and I respect that. Whoever says that this is a "violation", they need to go read the website- people have been saying good things!!!!

[Fangz64]

I absolutely LOVED this book- and your take on it was BRILLIANT, I really enjoyed watching this after I read the Hall of Elders Crossing :D

[haggar34]

ridiculus

[iceangel10221]

Where does the arm sling come from??!!

[SusanBaudelaire]

The flash back sequence was fantastic.

[marcoramirez1991]

WOW! this sucks! it's horrible. i think i'll stick to reading the book.

[mrsherwin1234567890]

GREAT FILM.... fantasticly done. well done guys. :)

[n448213]

this is so gay.

[acerulestheplace]

@n448213 YOU'RE GAYYY!!!! =@@@

[n448213]

@acerulestheplace no, i just know that this is a retarted version of harry potter and the deathly hallows '20 years on'. 

[rAcHeLaYnE]

hmm. the editing is, i guess, the only thing that gets in the way. i mean, we can't expect a hollywood like movie. but overall i guess it's all right.

[luckyduck1017]

wait! so in this "new book" voldemort comes back to life? Impossible!!! Harry Potter finished him!! He's dead! nobody can come back from the dead 20 years after death! plus how could a 1st year do all this??? If they had an epic battle at hogwarts again, they should just get Harry, Ron, and Hermione again. I'm sure they can do it, since after all they were the ones who crushed the horcruxs and killed Voldemort. Plus this book seems lame anyways.

[zemoroza]

@luckyduck1017 i agree. people shouldnt mess with every big success just to get more money from the fans. if sb should write the continue harry potter, that would be j.k.rowling. this man lipert seems such a lazy guy, a ''thief''. he cannot write his own story and gain success on his own leans on hp! i can make money this way too, but its not moral and right. rowling invended hp and SHE must end and fulfil his story.

[Fuzzidio]

@zemoroza im not sure if anyones answered you but Lippert Originally wrote this series for his children to read because his chicldren were such big HP fans...He had no desire to make ANY money off this...J.K Rowling said herself that she loves his passion for the books and to keep it up. Do your research before insulting such a great person

[lovepetrelli]

that was pretty good i s'pose

[kimoniki21]

Severus Lives in Jackson?!

[LCMW88]

Mr Pink, Mr Gray you couldn´t be less original, Mr Norman Lippert. I read the first page of the first book and that doesn´t move me to read more.

[Gelatoalcio]

@LCMW88 Well, maybe you should at least read the first chapter. If you did, you would find out that "Pink" and "Grey" are false names the banality of which is despised by "Mr. Pink" and "Mr. Grey" themselves. I can't see why so many of you feel free to be rude and arrogant about the awesome work that Mr. Lippert did without any payment even if you have only read "the first page of the first book."

Sorry for the bad English, I' not a native speaker.

[xXxSiriusLeeBlackxXx]

Wow... This just made me lol.... I honestly don't know what to think of this. **sigh** It kinda got my hopes up, but they just got shot down.

[7880keaton1]

how much time did u spend making this video

[SSVegetayugioh11]

so, if the hall of elder crossing power, is true, then voldemort could come back, because it is said if the hall of elder crossing is true, someone could be reborn, so they might revive voldemort

[yaha1313131313]

lol no english accent for some parts xD

[yaha1313131313]

this isss.. well started out pretty good, I dont like the james actor thaat much and some of the acting needs more feeling.

[AlphonseHunter93]

The acting and camera work let this down. But it is nicely ambitious. And you can't expect it to be perfect i suppose seeing as its clearly low-budget.

[conoritania]

terrible 0 star, terrible acting

[RussellThePumpkin]

This is laughably bad.

[SSVegetayugioh11]

is this a movie or what, and does voldemort comes back in this series or movie

[yaha1313131313]

@SSVegetayugioh11 its from a fan fic, no voldy has gone moldy but appearently he had a honeymoon before that. xD

[SSVegetayugioh11]

@yaha1313131313

so if he had a son, then who is voldemort lover

[yaha1313131313]

@SSVegetayugioh11 I would have guessed bellatrix, but then again voldy didnt believe in love so he prolly just uh raped someone xD

[SSVegetayugioh11]

@yaha1313131313

i think so, it is bellatrix

[yaha1313131313]

@SSVegetayugioh11 But bellatrix died o.o and well we never saw her pregnant in any of the books.

[kgstudios]

@SSVegetayugioh11 The bloodline to voldemort will be relieved in James Potter 2. I'm glad to see the discussion

[SSVegetayugioh11]

@yaha1313131313

is voldemort lover, voldemort's son mother, belletrix, i think so

[freddx12]

wtf james looks wierd

[CamilaCantThink]

Why would you start in the MIDDLE of the book?! That takes away the point in all the amazing suspense and character davelopment and you loose the idea of James Zane and Ralph's friendship!!

Also, I was sitting there threw you're summery after the title and I just kept thinking "I want to watch the movie, not listen to a summery of the book!"

[spiderfreak1011]

and yet the Harry Potter saga continues through the James Potter Saga

[GRonnoc]

But on a more positive note, I WILL say that I liked your use of color correction (if my eyes are correct, it at least LOOKS like you've applied something to the video), and again the simple fact that you got all these people together to make this film is pretty impressive.

Really I suppose my biggest complaint is the quality of the image and sound. If you could just save up for a better video camera this'd be ten times better!

[GRonnoc]

It's also worth mentioning that the overall sound quality goes down the drain as soon as we move from what must have been a mic used for the opening voiceover narration to the on-camera mic, and it's pretty clear from the quality of the video that your camera leaves a lot to be desired.

While it's an admirable effort, and good for you for actually filming this whole thing (though I haven't read the book this is based on), I'm going to have to disagree with everyone else...I'm not impressed.

[elderscrossingseries]

@GRonnoc Thanks for your opinion. I've learned a lot more since we made this film. Check out the new JPCG trailer on my account to see.

[GRonnoc]

Continuing from where I left off...

The camerawork is terrible, it's all handheld. You never use a tripod or any form of stablizer (unless you count the ground in the one opening shot of James on the ground), and the movie never really has a chance to breathe on a nice long shot because you just go from shot to shot in rapidfire succession in order to give the unprofessional actors a chance to rattle off their lines one at a time and not have to memorize them perfectly.

[GRonnoc]

Alright I have to be totally honest here - I don't understand why everyone is saying this movie is so great...I'm watching it and I am not at all impressed. The opening title graphics are very impressive I'll admit, and it's admirable that you managed to get Isais Garcia to do your music (I'm subscribed to him and he's quite good for his age), however as soon as the titles and and we enter the actual movie...it all goes downhill...

[MegaHarryPotter123]

i like the consept. very good acting ang story but the american accent spoils it. no way should they have an amaerican accent.

[twilightsdawn94]

Brandon, your 30's P.I coat is killing me, and your hair is great. Lol. <3 this.

[619kakarot]

maybe not

[619kakarot]

this real?

[ropeadopeshope]

The wig.....-_- It kinda kills the whole thing.

[Nayra92]

I've always said it and I will always say it, Harry Potter fandom is insanely awesome. I mean, all those fanarts which are pure art, the incredible Wizard Rock songs all around the world, all those fan websites, the roleplaying, the Muggle Quidditch, the 5 hour claymotion movie, A Very Potter Musical... and now this fanfiction with its own movie.

What will I find next??

[CharlieBoneOurSeries]

@Nayra92 I'm writing a fan fic about Harry's dad. James Potter and the Secret of the Portrait.

[RedElleRed]

Why won't it load?

[bunsoy16]

uh what the hecc? im likin it but whaa?

[LuckyFeathers23]

How is this part 1? it starts in the middle....

[bagrisham]

Verry good.The effects were good with the green screen and title.I don't understand why you started it in the middle of the book? Alltogether, it was amazing. Hope that there are more books!

[babeeshopiez123]

this is alright, i wouldnt praise this that much, worth a watch but jk must be angry if one of her daughters comes across this

becareful mate

[Thatoneguythatname]

make the beginning, and go forward, then i'll be happy otherwise great, already read the story. Get a better camera, and then bwammie, you be done

[OfCourseTheresMe]

YAY FOR AMERICAN POTTER

[babeeshopiez123]

@OfCourseTheresMe no. hell no.

[raooloroppezza]

ohh my gosh american accent stinks

[sonshadsil94]

Music - Great

Graphics - title was great. havent seen much else.

Acting - professional. mostly

Story - You started Halfway through???? WTF?

Camera - this probably coulnt be helped. but the quality for both video and audio are not exactly the best.

If G Norman Lippert is reading this, I urge you to keep writing the seiries cause im loving every second of reading it. but the film leaves something to be desired. please, if at all possible, can you fix by the next film?

[Anton7102]

I don't get the brace, wizards don't use that do they? Other than that, It's great.

You all should read the book also, fantastic for all the harry potter fans out there dying to read about the world once more.

[singandtellable]

This was very, very good. Better than I thought it would be. I agree with TomEccleshare. The actor for James should be in Deathly Hallows. Great acting everyone!

[CharlieBoneOurSeries]

It's already out, it's an internet book. Look it up on the internet.

[TomEccleshare]

Good movie thus far! Btw; whoever acts as James Sirius Potter in this vid should audition for the part in Warner Bros,'s Deathly Hallows epilogue!

[CharlieBoneOurSeries]

That is a really good idea!

[indianman]

Great movie

[doodles357]

Awesome!! Great job! I'm really enjoying the movie so far! :D

[hptwilighter]

SO AMAZING! The graphics/score everything is so professional
