Nostalgic for some Harry Potter but don’t want to sit down and read all seven books or watch all eight movies? Then look no further than this thirteen-minute retrospective video that’s been making the rounds on the Internet.
User Kees van Dijkhuizen jr. uploaded the video, entitled “Mischief Managed: the Harry Potter Retrospective” to YouTube last week. It begins with scenes of Harry as a baby and works it’s way to the end of the wizarding series by pulling together the greatest moments of all eight films. The video is expertly crafted, fitting scenes together in a new and interesting way, and meshes perfectly with original music from the films.
As Collider’s Adam Chitwood points out, “It’s a great watch for Harry Potter fans, but it’s also interesting to see the different directors’ visions back-to-back. The story gets dark quite fast, but it’s neat to see it progress from the colorful, faithful touch of Chris Columbus on the first two films, to Alfonso Cuaron’s inventive and playful twist on Azkaban, to the bombastic Britishness of Mike Newell’s Goblet of Fire, and finally David Yates’ grounded yet haunting stamp on the final four films.”
Interestingly, the YouTube video coincided with the September 7 release of the Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection, a 31-disk Blu-ray and DVD box set.

1. Far too many good characters die.
2. I should reread or rewatch the 4th and 5th books/movies. Those two are my least favorite so I always think I don't like them at all. This reminded me I do.
and 3. The the 6th and 7th book really became all action in the movie forms. The 6th had only a few Tom Riddle flashbacks (which made the book so good) and I don't think they even tell you about horcruxes in that movie. The 7th does give you more story though since it was spit into two movies but it still left out a lot of Dumbledore and Snape flashbacks.
7 books, though.
must do that now it seems, at quarter past 1 in the morning.
