Harry Potter and the Stone

The best parodies are in fact love letters to the original and here a very small group of people came together and achieved greatness that is rarely seen. This small crew and budget make this movie even better, you can be impressed how the Hollywood effects are replicated deliberate (and necessarily) cheap and you can try to spot which characters are played by the same actors.

Speaking about acting, it is a great reproduction of the young and slightly wooden child actors.

Lastly I have to draw a comparison not many people will know, but this is the best spoof since the coldmirror synchronizations (German youtuber that resynchronized the movies until she got in legal troubles).

I didn't expect much from a remake of Harry Potter, but given it was released just two weeks ago, I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, this movie turned out to be fantastic. The new cast brought fresh energy to the beloved characters, and the updated special effects added a stunning visual dimension. The storyline stayed true to the magic of the original while adding new twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. The cinematography was breathtaking, and the soundtrack perfectly complemented the scenes. Overall, this remake exceeded my expectations and is definitely a must-watch for any Harry Potter fan. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

This was by far the most entertained I've been in a long time! From the hilarious casting (did they pull roles from a hat?!?) to the acting to the phenomenal sets and props, to the small details that make you want to watch it again just to catch what you missed the first time! Seriously, I am no film critic, but if you want to laugh until your face hurts, or if you want to see what a group of amateur filmmakers can do - I cannot fathom how they managed to create/find the props and sets and costumes for under three hundred dollars! I want a documentary about the making of this movie, it was probably nuts!

We as a society need to reject AI in the arts and embrace more projects like this. I could not stop laughing for the entirety of the movie. It's so fun, silly, and extremely entertaining. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to tap into childhood fun and creativity. The sound effects and puppetry are so fun. Yes, I know it's 'not real', but it is far more entertaining than half the heavily CGI films being made today. These people were probably all juggling classes and jobs while making this, and the love and passion they took time to invest in this is apparent in every frame. Please watch and enjoy! Let loose and laugh.

Yeah this has no reason to be as entertaining as it is. For those unaware, it's basically a very low-budget remake of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone but they made it shot-for-shot and the runtime is very similar to the original movie at 2 and a half hours. It takes a lot of dedication to make any movie, even one like this. Nothing is cinematically spectacular here, but then again, that's not quite the idea. And despite it all it remains just as entertaining as the original. I enjoyed the meta humor that was put into it and the actors were good at overexaggerating everything. My only complaint is I feel they could've done more to make it appear more low budget instead of green screen at times; for example some scenes they could've found a real live spot to film but instead used a green screen backdrop. Overall it doesn't detract from the movie too much. And did I mention it's completely free on youtube? If you have fond memories of harry potter definitely check it out.
