Keep in mind...this was put together by COLLEGE students for a final project. College director, college production team, mostly college student actors, on their way to greater things, so judge warily. For what they had, they accomplished a great deal, especially the magic of the bridge; they had a tough time figuring that out.
Mαddιє referring to the fact that the three brothers were dressed in clothes that weren't available in the 1200's. details matter. especially in a college short film.
I must say that my favorite part of this film was your interpretation of Death. Death is usually presented a tall, intimidating, cloaked man, and associated with the color black. However, you interpreted death as a young girl and associated her with the color white. I found this interpretation very interesting and original, which really made me love this film.
Actually in some cultures white is what signifies death for example in the Chinese culture the color white means death and if you ever wear white it's like a disgrace
That’s why he was telling James to stay under the blanket, because one of the blankets was the invisibility cloak and death wouldn’t be able to see him if he’s under the cloak.... ugh, this is so good. Made by College students too! Yes!
If he greeted death like an old friend, she shouldn't have been so annoyed and pounding on the door lol. But great concept and pretty decent execution. No pun intended.
I suppose she was being like "Dude, I get it, you wanna say bye to your grandkid, but your time's almost up; clock is ticking, so hurry up or I'll bust the door down."
But death doesn't need to knock on a door as death can go through anything, and it not really friendly if somebody pounding on your door scaring your child
To everyone who's saying that this story makes no sense because of when the brothers and James were alive: The book at the end says James P. *PEVERELL* Not Potter, Peverell.
@@inoxydable3876 except that's impossible because the Pevellerell family died out with female line. Since Harry's ancestor the son of Linfred the Potter married the eldest daughter of the Peverells descendant from the 3 brother and since their were NO males in her family the cloak got passed to her. So it kept passing to the eldest of each generation until James Potter gave it to Dumbledore before his Death, then Dumbledore gave it to Harry.
@Saya Cee ignotus had a son who had a son who had a daughter who married a Potter I do believe movieflame did a video explaining the Potter family tree

You have just skipped much more than 15 generations! True it could of been James Peverell But that was years ago, They would not have electric lights or houses to that stage Research would make this actually worthwhile! www.pottermore.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/the-potter-family
Yes, it could have been. But, in this case, that's not a valid reason as to why this isn't James Potter. There was no relative named James close enough in James Potter's/Ignotus Peverell's family tree to have electricity and all that jazz but James Potter. In fact, James' own father was probably born sometime in the late eighteen hundreds either around when or just after the lightbulb had just been invented, making it virtually impossible for this to be anyone other than James Potter.
+HowItOughtToBe Actually, they probably did. J.K. has stated that James' parents were very old to be having children, even by wizarding standards (wizards live longer than Muggles, you know), so it's probable that he was. We know he was born pre-1909, and to be old by wizarding standards you have to be ollllldddddd. Therefore, late 1800s.
for everyone saying that James couldn't be the same James as harry's father, you need to remember that the Potters have a way of recycling names. So I doubt this is the same James Potter we all know.
*Do not read this if you still haven't watch the full vid* The fact that the boy is actually James Potter made me sad. I may or may not have cried a bit
Direction : 10/10 Cinematography : 100/10 Dialogue : 10/10 Script : 10/10 Sound Mixing : 10/10 Visual Effects : 9/10 Acting : 3/10 The eerie feeling they created was really good! keep up the good work!
I agree. Very little emotions in the acting, one exception, and maybe it was because of the surrounding influences was the ending, when grandpa was trying to finish and telling James to stay. Other than the acting it was a superior final project.
This was incredibly well done, I love how you interpreted the aspects of the story and even built off of them, you added so much to the brothers and their personalities and that made the story all the better. you even fit James into the story and added a little something to how exactly the cloak was passed down, it was includible and I couldn't think of better way to have done this
The invisibility cloak was in the Potter family so James probably was a Potter based on two things. First of all the grandad was a Peverral, but James could be a Potter if the grandad had a daughter who married a Potter. Then secondly he is likely a Potter as by a guess of the time setting based on the house, it is only decades (20-40 years depending if this is Harry's dad James)before Harry was born, so the cloak would be in the Potter family by then to be given to Dumbledore to give back on Harry.
Voldy: 1st brother (died for power) Snape:2nd brother (died for love) Harry:3rd brother (greeted death as old friend) You would understand all of this if u read Harry Potter Voldemort, Shape, and Harry die at book 7 Yes I know Harry "died" but then came back to life. THIS IS THE MOST LIKES I HAVE GOTTEN
This is honestly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I love how Death was made to be the complete opposite of what you would expect. It gives a deeper meaning to the entire story, and people's stereotypical view of death. Amazing job to whoever made this. 👍🏻
Oh...My...God... I've seen fan made videos, and most of them are really bad in general...But this, this is a piece of art and it didn't look like a students project, it looked so professional and it just...Amazing, I loves it😍
Its a james potter, If the grandfather is the youngest brother then his daughter married into the potter family, and james of that age being the first potter tobe descended of him.
Well... I discovered the movie only today and I have been thrilled by the quality of it. There were really nice ideas, and the reinterpretation of the tale is a full success. Thank you for that!
Despite the inaccuracies, like when the brothers encountered death upon day instead of a twilight, etc. This is a good vid. Considering the experience and age of the people behind it. Good job, a pat on the back and good luck for the rest of projects to come
Thats a fable and its always told different. The reason daytime fit good because Ron knew a different version than the book version. Just little details
I'm so amazed, and the ending brought me close to the point of tears. (I almost did a double-take and was all like, "Bloody heck! That's James Potter?!") Well done, all of you! This was wonderful!!
That is impossible that the little boy is James Potter sr. because it is said that Voldemort and Harry Potter are distantly related through the Peverell family ( the three brothers). Then J.K. Rowling opened to the public that Ignotus Peverell was the youngest brother and he had a daughter, just one daughter and she married Hardwin Potter and the second brother Cadmus peverell's desendant is Marvolo Gaunt, father of Tom Riddle's jr, mother making Voldemort related to Harry. So my theory is that the little boys name was James Potter but not Harry Potter's dad but insted the son of Ignotus' daughter and Hardwin Potter
but from everything you said it is possible that the young boy was the grandchild of Ignotus Peverell (the son of Hardwin Potter). I mean James is referring to the older man as grandpa.
That was the best fan made video of Harry potter I've ever seen . Like brilliant absolutely brilliant I've always wondered if there was more to it about the brothers, how the cloak got passed down to Harry . Good job guys . I like how you made death too , the grim reaper can take whatever form it desires.
I don't understand the most Comments? It's a fantastic film. They are americans because the film is made from americans. James is normal name. It don't have to be James Potter. The voices are good The death is special but in a really good way. On the whole a wonderful Film. thank you
Okay. Reasons why it IS James Potter: 1. It said To, James P in the journal 2. The grandpa said James 3. He had circular glasses 4. Think about Harry. Who did the cloak belong to before him? His father. James. Guessing it was passed down. Obviously. 5. And the silk bedding that he had. STRANGELY looked like the one that death gave the third brother. Also he KINDA became invisible at the end. (I'm pretty sure it's James)
I think this was incredibly well done! *Spoiler* I love the fact that it was James Potter and his grandfather. I suppose each owner of the invisibility cloak, after it becomes their son's or their daughter's, must greet death as their friend, for they evaded her for far too long.
You so stupid because a peverell girl married a potter hence the cloak had to be passed down to the potters which was then passed down to james potter. (Your the one that has to do research)
No. Check the Potter family tree on Pottermore, Ignotus Peverell (the youngest brother) had a daughter, Lolanthe, and married Hardwin Potter. The cloak then was passed down through the Potter family. It is you that needs to do the research.
Filmed in the city I reside in. Bangor Maine, USA. It's Husson University and New England School of Communications (NESCom). This was a fantastic job done by them. I'm thoroughly impressed by how hard they worked on this. Excellent work! Five stars: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wow this was fantastic, I had tears in my eyes by the end:') It was a bit annoying that they made James Potter the grandchild of Ignotus who had died in 1219 but then I thought why can't it be someone else? I mean there was possibly another boy with the name "James" in the family:D Anyways, this was truly amazing, thank you for the video:)
Or perhaps the grandfather is simply a metaphor for the third brother, as the entire family essentially is. It is clearly implied that this is James Potter. The grandfather could be Henry Potter and his leaving at the end could be a metaphor for what the third brother did, dying at old age and giving the cloak to the next generation.
This short movie is so much better than actual movies produced by professionals. Props to the students that created this master piece, this is bloody amazing!
okay but James P. must stand for Peverell not Potter because the last of the Peverell line was a woman who married a Potter.Also james' parents died after he finished Hogwarts
No grandpa on his fathers side not his mother. His mother was Dorea Black who married his father Charles Potter both purebloods created James their son. As he got older their son fell in love and got married to a mudblood named Lilly Evens in turn they created Harry James Potter the boy who lived a half-blood.
Everyone in the comments is complaining about everything as if these aren't COLLEGE STUDENTS working on a final... My only issue was with a child doing wandless magic.
For an amateur production (from reading the comments, this was made by college students), this was actually very good. Although I was a little confused that SPOILER ALERT SPOILERS AHEAD Ignotus (the youngest brother) was only James' grandfather in this. From what JK Rowling has said, there were many generations between the Peverells and James.
And that must be one powerful kid wizard. He looks maybe 12? And he shut the door with a wave of his hand. I know James and Lily were both considered very powerful and Harry was shown to be able to (unintentionally) do wandless magic at 15, but wow. This kid did it both deliberately AND he's only about 12
The grandfather is definitely Henry Potter ,James s grandfather how ever he is also a mirror caracter for Ignatus , long story short , he was reading this story as he knew He was about to die ...and died without telling the end also when James learned the end of the story he imagined his grandfather greeting Death as an old friend the way Ignatus has done ! Or maybe as healders of the invisibility cloak are granted by death as a friend in honor of that one only man who managed to truly cheat on her for years and years , but still choose to grant her as his oldest friend in the end ! Beautiful story that of Ignatus and Death !
I admit it was altered from the original, but it made it all the better! This version brought me to tears, and I honestly think this was done fairly well. Props to you guys!
This is really good I am confused why this doesn't get more views and a lot of people are hating on this. Some mistakes can't be avoided, but the overall quality of this really went beyond my expectations. And that horror movie ending! I almost jumped out of my skin when the door closed and the kid did a sort of creepy smile. xD I hope the creators of this don't get discouraged by those people who probably hasn't even tried a hand in making films and videos. Let me tell you people, making those is HARD. Like, unbelievably hard. If you really liked what you're doing then you might even think of it as fun but it doesn't take away how hard it actually is to develop films with this scale. Kudos to the director, the amazing actors, and all the people behind the scenes! I really enjoyed watching this, it was a pleasure. :) Thanks for the upload!
The kid was okay, considering this is a college project, and yes some of the start may have been a bit shaky, but he might've just been getting into the feel of it again, and hey, not all of us are child prodigy's at like 10-15 or something. And no you don't have to act, but we can't really say anything too bad if you can't do it yourself, or don't know the process behind it.
But the thing is not all have equipments, especially college students. I'm a musical director and also did some films currently in high school. But to be able to pull it off by themselves is a tough challenge even though it might seem low budgeted. You could see the majority of work is that they did try to push it through :)
I am a kid and an aspiring film maker(who love Harry Potter!)and this is something that just gives me so much hope. Right now I’m making my own home movies with my friends and this take that kind of thing to the next level. This is a masterpiece. Well done.
in the story it actually showed that he killed the wizard by using a spell (probably avada kedavra) not the one where he forced a poisoned shot inside his mouth
@@AVERAGECONNECTICUNT He was referring to the wizard Antioch killed (before having his throat slit). In the story, it showed Antioch using a curse to kill his enemy (probably an AK or something with the intent to kill), rather than a poisoned drink like they showed here. Either way it doesn't matter. Antioch successfully killed someone with whom he had a quarrel with.
I don't think he is Ignotus, he is just the last member of the Potter family who knew what the invisibility cloak really was, and when he knew he had to die he passed it down to the youngest member of the family, James, and the ending is only the way it is because it makes the short film more complete.
I think It’s just a new generation of the three brothers. Which just means it’s a new generation and others a named the three brothers but aren’t actually the brothers.
If he was ignotus then that doesn't have to be Harry's father, we know there was a James before him, and the p could be peveral as it's never stated to be potter
amazing! this is the best Version of the tale i have ever seen and i loved to see death as a little girl! (sorry for the mistakes, i'm from germany and my english isn't perfect ^^)
For those people who hv doubt if the boy james potter or james peverell( as some people are confused about the chronology...thinking that if the grandpa was one of the original 3 brothers how could james potter be his grandson)...i have a theory..... As we know that as the cloak was handed from to son through all generations we understand that harry was a descendant of the 3 brothers. N ow I think that curse of the three brothers did not end with them only....but kinda continued through generations of all the younger peverall brothers ( they may be not of the same mother as in harry's generations...because all wizards are somehow related to each other). The last peverell was a girl who married a potter...so the curse was now directed towards the generations of potter family so in every generation..3 brothers were chosen by the curse to die in the same way as the original 3 brothers died. So in this way we come down to the generation of that grandfather who had a similar fate along with his brothers and that grandfather himself was chosen by the curse to die in the same way as the youngest brother died( we know that he is talking about his own generations' curse as that ''book'' looked more like a diary)....so this proves that the boy was james potter...and has to deserve a similar fate like all the males in his family did..( and relations too cuz after peverall line the chosen brothers were dispersed across families due intermarriage of the ladies into otger families)...including his own grandpa and his own son( harry potter) ..who had to share the fate along with snape( middle brother) and voldemort( eldest brother)...so ofcourse james peverell (if he had existed)would have died in the same way ....but i dont find any james peverell in the peverall line....so this he does not exist after all....and thus clears the fact that the boy is only and only james pOtTer!!! Note: as u see the story book is actually a diary in which either his written about his own sufferings by the curse or perhaps the diary is of the original youngest peverall brother's possessions and has been passed down through generations like a second family heirloom like the invisibility cloak)...we know that james potter was then currently possessing the invisibility cloak as one of the blankets( that white one)was actually the white invisibility cloak it self....that is the reason why the grandpa told james to stay under the blankets as by doing so ...he will be covered by the invisibility cloak and death ...who had then come to that house to take away that grandpa would not be able to see or harm james. Now....for those people who thought that why death was banging on that door when that grandpa wanted to ''greet death like an old friend ''.. ....the thing is as that grandpa was himself staying under the cloak...death was searching for him too....finally on that day when he decided to tell this last story he might have taken it off and put them along with the blankets on james bed.So he let death find him that day...as he had no more wish to live anymore and finally agreed on telling the story(as u know he thought that there might not be any time left to tell the story to james the nextday( he was earlier insisting on doing so as it had been ''well past bedtime'')). So when death finally saw him she banged the door and was in a hurry so as to not let the man escape anymore. So perhaps after opening the door he would have shown that he was eager to leave the world...and death would have calmed down...thus greeting her ''like an old friend ''. Perhaps it was death's anger due to which he told james to stay under the blankets...afraid that she might even take him. Thankyou guys for the patience!:)
@@umraatirkhan7339 well as the video itself was said to be made as some project ( i dk correctly) it is not related to the original book.

Of course not jkr's or any other fanon theories found on internet:)
Why most people is hating? I thought this was awesome. I’m pretty sure this was not made by professional filmmakers but by beginners or college students. It’s actually pretty amazing for beginners or college students. Also I think the potter heads should appreciate that there was a group of people who had the idea and took the time to do this.
WAIT A MINUTE, oh because one of the Potters married Ignotus's daughter and then out came Harry's father. Oh, now I know why it isn't James Peverell, women take their husband's last names. That's why it isn't Harry Peverell, or James Peverell This is my theory, please don't hate!

Goth Girl whomis james potter?
Harry Potter's father! you know...from the Harry Potter series
oooooooohh! i get it. i dont watch hary potter so i didnt know earlier :)
you should watch it! its really great! I've been addicted to it for four years now!

The eerie feeling they created was really good! keep up the good work!
Scripts like a 9/10. The acting was pretty bad but some were good it was mostly the boy
The dialog was terrible.
I agree. Very little emotions in the acting, one exception, and maybe it was because of the surrounding influences was the ending, when grandpa was trying to finish and telling James to stay. Other than the acting it was a superior final project.
Accuracy 1/1000
their accents were terrible
This was incredibly well done, I love how you interpreted the aspects of the story and even built off of them, you added so much to the brothers and their personalities and that made the story all the better. you even fit James into the story and added a little something to how exactly the cloak was passed down, it was includible and I couldn't think of better way to have done this
“Goodbye James”
Me: WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????
James Peverall, Ignotis, the youngest brother, was the grandfather
@@SomeonesBestFriend11_SBF James Potter. Ignotus had a granddaughter. She married a Potter.
James the first
He said good bye James because he was the third brother
Aw, poor James. This was really good.
That kid is jame potter
Clusmy Henry *James Potter
Clusmy Henry. James Peverell * not James Potter (the 3 Peverell brothers)
The invisibility cloak was in the Potter family so James probably was a Potter based on two things. First of all the grandad was a Peverral, but James could be a Potter if the grandad had a daughter who married a Potter. Then secondly he is likely a Potter as by a guess of the time setting based on the house, it is only decades (20-40 years depending if this is Harry's dad James)before Harry was born, so the cloak would be in the Potter family by then to be given to Dumbledore to give back on Harry.
Patcheyes86 then how did he get the cloak
Wow it's hard to believe you were only college students! this is the best fan made film ive seen so far. Well done!
Check out The Marauders and Severus Snape
Already watched :)
@@brasschick4214 this one was excellent
Voldy: 1st brother (died for power)
Snape:2nd brother (died for love)
Harry:3rd brother (greeted death as old friend)
You would understand all of this if u read Harry Potter
Voldemort, Shape, and Harry die at book 7
Yes I know Harry "died" but then came back to life.
THIS IS THE MOST LIKES I HAVE GOTTEN
Still better than The Cursed Child... At least they respect the universe of Harry Potter, it has flaws but I don't care, great work.
This is honestly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I love how Death was made to be the complete opposite of what you would expect. It gives a deeper meaning to the entire story, and people's stereotypical view of death. Amazing job to whoever made this. 👍🏻
Oh...My...God...
I've seen fan made videos, and most of them are really bad in general...But this, this is a piece of art and it didn't look like a students project, it looked so professional and it just...Amazing, I loves it😍
I'm actually really impressed with the special effects! I enjoyed everything except for the kid's dialogue
Same
Hate the kids dialoge, anoying as hell
OMG it never said James Potter It just said James.P so it was probably James Peveral 🙄
Who is James Peverell
Luna the moon this was a year ago when I was in my hp obsession. I have absolutely no Idea who I was on about sorry 😅
Can't be because the Peveral line ended with Iolanthe Peverell who was an only child and married a Potter that isn't descended from the 3 brothers.
Its a james potter,
If the grandfather is the youngest brother then his daughter married into the potter family, and james of that age being the first potter tobe descended of him.
Hmmm, Maybe my dad's Mother was Ignotus Peverell's daughter, and His mom Married a Potter, so james Was a Potter??
because i'm a potter head, this is heartbreaking and i'm trying not to cry. **sniffs uncontrollably** WAAAAAAAHHHHHH :(
Uncle John SAAAAAMMME
Potterheads reunite
Don't listen to the mean comments this shortfilm is amazing
Agreed
ikr
Lol, awe. Sweet little girl. You know nothing.
Who the heck is this kid....
“Goodbye James”
*chokes on saliva*
It's James Peverell (I forgot the spelling so excuse me if it is wrong)
Well... I discovered the movie only today and I have been thrilled by the quality of it. There were really nice ideas, and the reinterpretation of the tale is a full success. Thank you for that!
Not bad though for an adaptation. I am impressed
Despite the inaccuracies, like when the brothers encountered death upon day instead of a twilight, etc. This is a good vid. Considering the experience and age of the people behind it. Good job, a pat on the back and good luck for the rest of projects to come
Everyone like ”they're in college so its ok” like I would make a better movie and im 13
@@5555emily good for you.....
MCJon how do you manage the budget then
@@5555emily you wouldn't
Thats a fable and its always told different. The reason daytime fit good because Ron knew a different version than the book version. Just little details

Death: congratulations
Me: T-series! You did it! Wonderful job! I know we’ve had our differences but...
I'm so amazed, and the ending brought me close to the point of tears. (I almost did a double-take and was all like, "Bloody heck! That's James Potter?!") Well done, all of you! This was wonderful!!
I love that adaption! You did it with love and smartness. It conveys emotion and atmosphere: thumbs up!
EverGreenElephant Smartness???
That is impossible that the little boy is James Potter sr. because it is said that Voldemort and Harry Potter are distantly related through the Peverell family ( the three brothers). Then J.K. Rowling opened to the public that Ignotus Peverell was the youngest brother and he had a daughter, just one daughter and she married Hardwin Potter and the second brother Cadmus peverell's desendant is Marvolo Gaunt, father of Tom Riddle's jr, mother making Voldemort related to Harry. So my theory is that the little boys name was James Potter but not Harry Potter's dad but insted the son of Ignotus' daughter and Hardwin Potter
I think these is best theory I read in the comments that makes sense
Would make sense; James probably never met his grandparents since his parents had him when they were pretty old themselves.
OHH, but I don't think they (the producers) knew that
but from everything you said it is possible that the young boy was the grandchild of Ignotus Peverell (the son of Hardwin Potter). I mean James is referring to the older man as grandpa.
I thought that too ^^ I agree with you
The grandpa was the Youngest brother
I am SHOOK
That was the best fan made video of Harry potter I've ever seen . Like brilliant absolutely brilliant I've always wondered if there was more to it about the brothers, how the cloak got passed down to Harry . Good job guys . I like how you made death too , the grim reaper can take whatever form it desires.
I don't understand the most Comments? It's a fantastic film.
They are americans because the film is made from americans.
James is normal name. It don't have to be James Potter.
The voices are good
The death is special but in a really good way.
On the whole a wonderful Film.
thank you
Lena Malfoy I agree.
really...it said James p.
mildret plotka yeah. And he had the glasses, and got the cape. That was James Potter
what are the odds that there is another James P. in harry potter?
Okay. Reasons why it IS James Potter:
1. It said To, James P in the journal
2. The grandpa said James
3. He had circular glasses
4. Think about Harry. Who did the cloak belong to before him? His father. James. Guessing it was passed down. Obviously.
5. And the silk bedding that he had. STRANGELY looked like the one that death gave the third brother. Also he KINDA became invisible at the end.
(I'm pretty sure it's James)
I think this was incredibly well done!
*Spoiler*
I love the fact that it was James Potter and his grandfather. I suppose each owner of the invisibility cloak, after it becomes their son's or their daughter's, must greet death as their friend, for they evaded her for far too long.
This was amazing!! Thank you UA-cam for recommending something good! Im sad it took me a year to find it!
"and as equals they departed this place.... *book* TO JAMES P."
ME:* let's the cellphone fall on the floor *
the boy isnt james potter, he's james PEVERELL! (sheesh guys do your research 😁)
The third brother only had a daughter who married a Potter who then had Harry grandfather
You so stupid because a peverell girl married a potter hence the cloak had to be passed down to the potters which was then passed down to james potter. (Your the one that has to do research)
No it's not . This is set hundreds of years after the sorry of the original three brothers .
Unless he's immortal that's not him
I do and ik that it but wasn't the film good though you could put that in a theater
No. Check the Potter family tree on Pottermore, Ignotus Peverell (the youngest brother) had a daughter, Lolanthe, and married Hardwin Potter. The cloak then was passed down through the Potter family.
It is you that needs to do the research.
that kid was asking too get slapped
but great movie loved it
Thedeathllyhalllows I agree his acting was crap
This little boy is the worst, THE WORST, actor ever... EVER
Me too I hated the kid that acted in this
LordofTheMeow Inc. I've seen worse.
Hey guys I think that his name is not James Potter but James Peverell
N-no...
CONSPIRACIESSSS
Not necessarily
Ffs no point in denying it, it is mr potter
James didn't have any brothers, but it wouldn't be surprising if the brothers are ancestors of James.
Filmed in the city I reside in. Bangor Maine, USA. It's Husson University and New England School of Communications (NESCom). This was a fantastic job done by them. I'm thoroughly impressed by how hard they worked on this. Excellent work! Five stars: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
the acting of the little kid though 😂😂😂
Wow this was fantastic, I had tears in my eyes by the end:')
It was a bit annoying that they made James Potter the grandchild of Ignotus who had died in 1219 but then I thought why can't it be someone else? I mean there was possibly another boy with the name "James" in the family:D
Anyways, this was truly amazing, thank you for the video:)
Nikii Nagy I think the boy is James Peverell. The name James could have been passed down.
Felicity Giles Yes, probably:)
Or perhaps the grandfather is simply a metaphor for the third brother, as the entire family essentially is. It is clearly implied that this is James Potter. The grandfather could be Henry Potter and his leaving at the end could be a metaphor for what the third brother did, dying at old age and giving the cloak to the next generation.
his grandad was Henry potter and they are both ancestors of the third brother
Duh
This short movie is so much better than actual movies produced by professionals. Props to the students that created this master piece, this is bloody amazing!
And James never had the chance to tell that story to his son or grandchildren :’)
okay but James P. must stand for Peverell not Potter because the last of the Peverell line was a woman who married a Potter.Also james' parents died after he finished Hogwarts
That was his grandfather
I assume the grandpa is Jame's mom's dad. Then the mom can mary a potter and that James a potter.
No grandpa on his fathers side not his mother. His mother was Dorea Black who married his father Charles Potter both purebloods created James their son. As he got older their son fell in love and got married to a mudblood named Lilly Evens in turn they created Harry James Potter the boy who lived a half-blood.
Then how did he inherit the cloak of invisibility
+Slytherin Girl Dorea and Charles are not James' parents. Saids so in the wiki.
Everyone in the comments is complaining about everything as if these aren't COLLEGE STUDENTS working on a final... My only issue was with a child doing wandless magic.
Have you ever read or at least watched Harry Potter!?!
Yeah, that's what I thought too
Well- when children are younger they don't have Wands yet still do magic. Tho he controlled it exceptionally well-- which can be a good thing.
It is a foreshadowing of how good they will be at controlling their magic in the future and as we now know, james was good at it
There are entire schools in Africa that do wandless magic
"Goodbye James" screams then say "whyyyyyy"😂
It's beautiful to see so many wonderful fan creations. This is one of my favorites. I like the setting, music and story.
For an amateur production (from reading the comments, this was made by college students), this was actually very good. Although I was a little confused that SPOILER ALERT SPOILERS AHEAD Ignotus (the youngest brother) was only James' grandfather in this. From what JK Rowling has said, there were many generations between the Peverells and James.
And that must be one powerful kid wizard. He looks maybe 12? And he shut the door with a wave of his hand. I know James and Lily were both considered very powerful and Harry was shown to be able to (unintentionally) do wandless magic at 15, but wow. This kid did it both deliberately AND he's only about 12
The grandfather is definitely Henry Potter ,James s grandfather how ever he is also a mirror caracter for Ignatus , long story short , he was reading this story as he knew He was about to die ...and died without telling the end also when James learned the end of the story he imagined his grandfather greeting Death as an old friend the way Ignatus has done ! Or maybe as healders of the invisibility cloak are granted by death as a friend in honor of that one only man who managed to truly cheat on her for years and years , but still choose to grant her as his oldest friend in the end ! Beautiful story that of Ignatus and Death !
Very good representation. Three cheers for Harry Potter fans! Enjoyed this very much!
Grandpa: Goodbye James
Me: NOOO NOT GRANDPA
I love the small plot twist at the end that james wears his grandfathers glasses in his memory and not because he needs them to see
Yeah but his eyesight will be screwed up.
I admit it was altered from the original, but it made it all the better! This version brought me to tears, and I honestly think this was done fairly well. Props to you guys!
Draco Malfoy u ain’t Draco malfoy
This is really good I am confused why this doesn't get more views and a lot of people are hating on this. Some mistakes can't be avoided, but the overall quality of this really went beyond my expectations. And that horror movie ending! I almost jumped out of my skin when the door closed and the kid did a sort of creepy smile. xD I hope the creators of this don't get discouraged by those people who probably hasn't even tried a hand in making films and videos. Let me tell you people, making those is HARD. Like, unbelievably hard. If you really liked what you're doing then you might even think of it as fun but it doesn't take away how hard it actually is to develop films with this scale. Kudos to the director, the amazing actors, and all the people behind the scenes! I really enjoyed watching this, it was a pleasure. :) Thanks for the upload!
The kid who played james was adorable. I love this so much it was really well done.
This lowkey makes me feel sad for the middle brother.
Criticize if you can act people, those who are brave to direct ,edit and act this short film are worthy of it. Just enjoy the show :)
My dream job is to direct a movie
Wanda Maximoff you dont have to be able to act to judge if someone is a bad actor or not
That kid was junk
The kid was okay, considering this is a college project, and yes some of the start may have been a bit shaky, but he might've just been getting into the feel of it again, and hey, not all of us are child prodigy's at like 10-15 or something. And no you don't have to act, but we can't really say anything too bad if you can't do it yourself, or don't know the process behind it.
But the thing is not all have equipments, especially college students. I'm a musical director and also did some films currently in high school. But to be able to pull it off by themselves is a tough challenge even though it might seem low budgeted. You could see the majority of work is that they did try to push it through :)
This video is AWESOME!! I don't understand why people don't like it!
"Goodbye James"
I died. At least I now met James' grandpa...
That's James's Peverell
I know this story really well, but now I'm crying. Thanks for made it.
I was expecting a twist but not a double twist. This was awesome. Great job everyone involved
I'm getting a Sheldon Cooper vibe from this kid.
Great adaptation. I love how it seems like this story was passed down for many years, until it was added to Beetle the Bard.
Love the interpretation of death
This has to be my favorite version so far.
As a die hard Harry Potter fan, I was skeptical at first, but WOW! This was really well done!
Me too! It was really good, Harry Potter 4 ever!
I always thought I was dead inside till I saw this... I cried so hard
I am a kid and an aspiring film maker(who love Harry Potter!)and this is something that just gives me so much hope. Right now I’m making my own home movies with my friends and this take that kind of thing to the next level. This is a masterpiece. Well done.
This is the most awesome, beautiful, fabulous thing I've ever seen. JK should watch this master piece
in the story it actually showed that he killed the wizard by using a spell (probably avada kedavra) not the one where he forced a poisoned shot inside his mouth
@@AVERAGECONNECTICUNT He was referring to the wizard Antioch killed (before having his throat slit). In the story, it showed Antioch using a curse to kill his enemy (probably an AK or something with the intent to kill), rather than a poisoned drink like they showed here.
Either way it doesn't matter. Antioch successfully killed someone with whom he had a quarrel with.
@@AVERAGECONNECTICUNT No problem! :)
I love this, but...
Er...
Why’re they all American?
TheRaiderOfGalaxyGems its a college thing the people who made it were probably American
Why not? They are brothers after all.
Because cocaine is a hell of a drug lol
Ths just... Took my breath away...! This was amazing!
is the old man meant to be ignotus? if so then that cant be james potter
I don't think he is Ignotus, he is just the last member of the Potter family who knew what the invisibility cloak really was, and when he knew he had to die he passed it down to the youngest member of the family, James, and the ending is only the way it is because it makes the short film more complete.
Names Regine its james’s ancestor, the name james is common in the potter family
I think It’s just a new generation of the three brothers.
Which just means it’s a new generation and others a named the three brothers but aren’t actually the brothers.
If he was ignotus then that doesn't have to be Harry's father, we know there was a James before him, and the p could be peveral as it's never stated to be potter
No, Ignotus is the youngest brother.
amazing! this is the best Version of the tale i have ever seen and i loved to see death as a little girl!
(sorry for the mistakes, i'm from germany and my english isn't perfect ^^)
I'm German too... Die Welt ist halt klein
This was the saddest film I ever watched! But at the same time....it was great, and emotional!
For those people who hv doubt if the boy james potter or james peverell( as some people are confused about the chronology...thinking that if the grandpa was one of the original 3 brothers how could james potter be his grandson)...i have a theory.....
As we know that as the cloak was handed from to son through all generations we understand that harry was a descendant of the 3 brothers. N ow I think that curse of the three brothers did not end with them only....but kinda continued through generations of all the younger peverall brothers ( they may be not of the same mother as in harry's generations...because all wizards are somehow related to each other). The last peverell was a girl who married a potter...so the curse was now directed towards the generations of potter family so in every generation..3 brothers were chosen by the curse to die in the same way as the original 3 brothers died. So in this way we come down to the generation of that grandfather who had a similar fate along with his brothers and that grandfather himself was chosen by the curse to die in the same way as the youngest brother died( we know that he is talking about his own generations' curse as that ''book'' looked more like a diary)....so this proves that the boy was james potter...and has to deserve a similar fate like all the males in his family did..( and relations too cuz after peverall line the chosen brothers were dispersed across families due intermarriage of the ladies into otger families)...including his own grandpa and his own son( harry potter) ..who had to share the fate along with snape( middle brother) and voldemort( eldest brother)...so ofcourse james peverell (if he had existed)would have died in the same way ....but i dont find any james peverell in the peverall line....so this he does not exist after all....and thus clears the fact that the boy is only and only james pOtTer!!!
Note: as u see the story book is actually a diary in which either his written about his own sufferings by the curse or perhaps the diary is of the original youngest peverall brother's possessions and has been passed down through generations like a second family heirloom like the invisibility cloak)...we know that james potter was then currently possessing the invisibility cloak as one of the blankets( that white one)was actually the white invisibility cloak it self....that is the reason why the grandpa told james to stay under the blankets as by doing so ...he will be covered by the invisibility cloak and death ...who had then come to that house to take away that grandpa would not be able to see or harm james.
Now....for those people who thought that why death was banging on that door when that grandpa wanted to ''greet death like an old friend ''..
....the thing is as that grandpa was himself staying under the cloak...death was searching for him too....finally on that day when he decided to tell this last story he might have taken it off and put them along with the blankets on james bed.So he let death find him that day...as he had no more wish to live anymore and finally agreed on telling the story(as u know he thought that there might not be any time left to tell the story to james the nextday( he was earlier insisting on doing so as it had been ''well past bedtime'')). So when death finally saw him she banged the door and was in a hurry so as to not let the man escape anymore. So perhaps after opening the door he would have shown that he was eager to leave the world...and death would have calmed down...thus greeting her ''like an old friend ''. Perhaps it was death's anger due to which he told james to stay under the blankets...afraid that she might even take him.
Thankyou guys for the patience!:)
I am more confused after reading this......r u taking this from jk Rowling or internet
@@umraatirkhan7339 well as the video itself was said to be made as some project ( i dk correctly) it is not related to the original book. Thats y many people were hving trouble relating this video to the original theories of harry potter series itself. My explanation is about what the story in this particular video is about. Of course not jkr's or any other fanon theories found on internet:)
@Anais Spiral Thx ..well I hv other plans for future but writing a 'freckin' book sounds like a great idea:D
Oh my f-ing lord this is now one of my favorite short films EVER
That moment you realize the grandson was James Potter the whole time
@Monomi its james PEVERELL not James Potter
Why most people is hating? I thought this was awesome. I’m pretty sure this was not made by professional filmmakers but by beginners or college students. It’s actually pretty amazing for beginners or college students. Also I think the potter heads should appreciate that there was a group of people who had the idea and took the time to do this.
WAIT A MINUTE, oh because one of the Potters married Ignotus's daughter and then out came Harry's father. Oh, now I know why it isn't James Peverell, women take their husband's last names. That's why it isn't Harry Peverell, or James Peverell
This is my theory, please don't hate!
this story reminds me of the 3 pig story. but its doesnt have much of a happy ending
Songviet Dau there is a happy ending in it but there are many meenings behind "the three brothers"
Songviet Dau really

yea cuz i dont watch Harry Potter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
