This is probably my favorite fan video ever (shockingly, it's not Anakin/Padmé!). Unfailingly makes me weepy. And I just love, love that song being used for something other than romantic relationships. Sniffle. I'm probably in an especial mood to be woobly about Harry and his parents after movie five, but whatever the first movie's failings, that scene with the Mirror of Erised just tugs at me. When Harry puts his hand on his shoulder and there's nothing there....sob.

Interesting use of the song! Nice editing. :)

I agree with you on the Erised scene in the first film. I've got very mixed feelings about the movie as a whole, but there's one thing it did for me that the book didn't: make me totally weepy in the mirror scene.

A quick note on the OotP film: there is a quick flashback of the Mirror scene in one part, and IMO it's used rather cleverly. :)

Oh, yes, I've seen it (see my last post). Very clever use of the scene, and one that makes you want to smack Snape. I was very pleased altogether by the use of flashbacks; they're quite effective in illustrating the Occlumency lessons as well as Harry's nightmares and the possession scene.

HAPPY BIRFDAY!
