HP Video and Rant

NEW VIDEO!!! (And Google actually uploaded it this time!!)

"Epic Story" 
[SPOILER WARNING!!]

So, I found some HP7-2 footage on YouTube and ripped it!  I'm so excited!!!  This was a video I threw together because I LOVE Severus Snape so much and his story was truly epic when I saw it!!!

*READ ON IF YOU DON'T MIND SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE!!!!!*

Just a side note: Don't get angry with me, but I have not read the seventh book.  I went to the midnight release of Part 2 without a clue as to what would happen.  I'm pleased to announce, Snape's story blew my mind!!!  In my heart I always knew Snape was going to be a good guy.  Even from day one he was amazing in my eyes.  I remember my parents frowning when I said how Snape was my favorite character.  They said, "It's the goth look."  I can't help but laugh at that conversation now.  ^-^

Although, I will admit, while the memory was showing (aka "The Prince's Story"), I couldn't help my mind thinking the crazy idea: "Is Snape Harry's real father?"  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!  Now THAT would have been a twist!!  But of course, J. K. Rowling wouldn't do something so scandalous, right?  But it is a very entertaining idea in one's mind...

After seeing this movie, I am amazed at how many seeds J. K. Rowling placed all along the way!  It's now so obvious and I'm surprised I had not seen it before.  But it makes perfect sense!!  With Snape's hate towards Harry for his father's looks and the memories associated with him; the love and pain he feels at seeing Harry's eyes for they are hers.  It's just all so perfect!!

Because of the "epicness" of this movie, I am proud to announce that not only am I going through and re-watching ALL movies (I'm currently on movie 4), I have also started reading the books!!!  I plan to actually READ every one of them, all the way through!  Knowing now how it ends, it makes creating connections so much easier!  I had originally read Books 1 and 2 in middle school (as part of English) and then I read books 3 and 6 on my own.  I attempted to read 4 & 5 but couldn't get my head into it.  Especially book 5... 100 pages in and nothing had really seemed to happen (at the time I thought this, now I know better!)

Anyway, hopefully I'll be remaking this video in the future.  I hate how I'm stuck with iMovie '09 and there's no control over effects and text.  Having previously used Sony Vegas, I am appaled at how simplistic iMovie is... it's worse than Windows Movie Maker!!!  At least with WMM you can download and add third party effects!!!

I really wanted to be creative with some text and put some of the key words that are being said in the video.  However, if I had attempted to do so, it would look awful.  Therefore, until I find a way to make the text look better (aka I have more control), I won't be remaking this video.  Hopefully I can find a work-around by the time the movie is released on Blu-Ray/DVD!!  *crosses fingers*

I do plan to re-do this video because I found things I want to change (namely the timing of the scenes).  It'll be more epic once I get it done!! ^-^

Anyway, enjoy the video!!!

Dumbledore: "What will you give me in exchange, Severus?"

Snape: "Anything."

Dumbledore: "The boy survived. He has her eyes."

Snape: "[You said] you would keep her safe."

Dumbledore: "Yes, he must die."
