I could totally believe these guys as the young marauders (even if I still have a major problem seeing the HP movie actors as them). This vid kind of broke my heart... They always do, though. :)
OMG, I can't believe my own eyes, what a perfect match!! Amazing work. I'm simply knocked out of my feet o_o Someone here is a genius, congratulations :-)
This is beautiful. I think, in personality, Robert Sean Leonard's character is much more like Remus. But he looks like Sirius, and since we're disregarding the Swing Kids storyline, the video works perfectly. Excellent work, love. Thanks for posting!
(Though I have to admit that RSL has always been the perfect Lupin in my head, so it's weird to see him as Sirius and the tough Christian Bale as Remus.)
Haha thanks! And you're right, RSL *is* the perfect Remus. I even use him in my icons in the HP RPG I play Remus in. Unfortuntely though, in making a vid, I had to go with physical appearance alone and his hair passes better for black. Not to mention he's the one who gets carted away by Nazis who could pass for cops.
Well, I guess with Bale and RSL you do what you have to do. I think they're not a perfect fit by a long shot, but the fact that Remus and Sirius from the movies have beards helps. But Lily, James, and Peter work like a charm! There is actual resemblance there!
Heh, RSL gets used a lot underground. I'm currently using his back a lot as Daniel's brother for scenes-from-the-past in my... Ugly Betty fanvid. XD
You've managed to combine the best part of Harry Potter with one of my all-time favourite movies ever.
Your choice of clips were simply perfect. Peter getting held/Sirius in Azkaban, Thomas beat up/Remus after a full moon...pure brilliance. I thank you for this.
i cant stop watching this video...it just puts the biggest pit in my stomach and makes me sob hysterically. i LOVE it...possibly my favorite video at the moment
Okay, so you pretty much reduced me to a slobbering mess after about a minute. Ouch. Fantastic!!!! I didn't think I'd like an alternate version of what is already one of my favorite songs, but even the music is perfect! (Good thing my roomate was out- otherwise this would have been SERIOUSLY embarassing.)
I don't know how you manage to pull it off every time, but you're amazing at mixing two completely different movies together. House and Dead Poets was great, and Swing Kids and HP is like a most awesome brain wave. I see your RSL love never dies, hehehe.
OMG YOU USED SWING KIDS!! OMG BEAUTIFUL ROBERT SEAN LEONARD AND CHRISTIAN BALE AS SIRIUS AND LUPIN!!! I LOVE YOU!!
Ahem...so I sort of like swing kids, rsl and christian bale...
This video is just so fantastic. Love swing kids as I do, I was sort of sceptical about it working with hp but you got it perfectly...
I would maybe have thought of christian as more sirius and robert as more lupin, because I think christian bale had a harder quality, but whatever, this is amazing ^^
This was just bittersweet and beautiful. Using clips from the Swing Kids (which I admit I've never seen) was inspired and worked almost perfectly (I had a hard time remembering RSL was Sirius 'til the middle). The scene where Sirius "kills" Peter was just amazing.
Interesting idea mixing Swing Kids and Harry Potter. I love both of these movies and strangely the mix really works. Amazing job I never would have thought to mix these two movies.
so, RSL (Peter) is Sirius, Christian Bale (Thomas) is Remus, Frank Whaley(Arvid) is James, and the other one is Peter?
I think RSL looks like Remus more , and Christian Bale be Sirius, well, that's what I think. an good vidoe though, please, keep going! (please think this in Wilson's voice, lol)
Amazing video. 5 stars. Great editing too, I like how you cut from Swing Kids to the HP movies at the beginning instead of writing "James" "Peter" "Sirius" "Remus".
my god this is really gd if i had never seen harry potter b4 i would of believed that was wat they were like when they were younger well done :D

You should really just not mock gay people. It is wrong and also illegal. I know. I am a lawyer. And a doctor. And a spaceman. So...

And I agree with an earlier comment, I picture RSL more as Remus.
