I've always loved the Harry Potter books, but the movies have been pretty hit or miss for me. I completely love what they have made, but there are many scenes of poor acting, or bad character choices that are completely fixable.

My main goals overall:
- Create light edits that don't try to reimagine or create anything new, but rather just enhance the original movies
- Remove small annoyances and some poor performances (Harry shushing Ron, Barty Crouch Jr tongue flicks, dumbing down Hagrid, etc)
- Retain as much world building as possible (Clock in the Weasley's home, monster roar at housekeeping in PoA, etc)
- Keep the original music to their own movies, except for a few rare occasions
- Tighten up action wherever I could

Goals for the Prisoner of Azkaban:
- This is my favorite movie and will probably have the least changes
- Trim some of the poor performances (Hermione's laughing, some of Harry's acting)
- Cut out some of the one liners and poorly written lines and scenes (Neville's "I'm okay" joke, Hermione mocking Trelawney, and Harry always needing to get a final word in)
- Reduce some of the more over the top stuff (Trim the whole whomping willow scene)

Changes in v2.0:
Warning screen added to the beginning of the film.
Updated intro sequence with “WW” shield instead of “HP” shield.
Two audio tracks are now available in the video file, a 5.1 surround sound and a 2.0 stereo track.
Coloring adjusted on the spinning Knight Bus scene.
Added smoke effect to Great Hall post-Hogsmeade scene.
Trimmed the Fat Lady torn portrait scene to remove the duplicated line that was in the post-Hogsmeade scene. In my original edit, I left the duplicated line in to try to make it seem like Ron was overly excited about the Shrieking Shack. I received complaints about the duplicate line, so it was removed.

My inaugural fanedit and the first film in my set of Harry Potter extended editions. Certain deleted scenes have been incorporated that were not added back to the TV versions, or scenes created from other content to allow for the inclusion of a deleted scene. For PoA, all deleted scenes that have been released with the Blu-Rays have been reincorporated into the original movie.

This extends Harry Potter with the deleted scenes from the DVD release to give you even more Harry Potter to enjoy. There was a similar ABC TV release edited by the original director.
