LET THE SKY FALL - Amazing Harry potter vid

So, Impish Girl read ALL the Harry Potter books (for the first time) over the past couple of weeks. I'm not what you'd call fannish, but I do have a favourite vid: Snakes on a Plane by [livejournal.com profile] dualbunny. Which I of course showed to Impish Girl, and she loved it.

Then she went looking for other vids, and the only one she liked was this one - and damn, but it might be better. Well... as the vidder says, Skyfall could have been written for Harry Potter, and the brilliant editing of the vid manages to capture the brilliance and epicness of the final battle (as well as all the other things going on in the story).

Vidder's notes:

Ok, so this is what I saw in my head since the moment I heard the song. I was like: 'It was inspired by HP or what??'... And when I found out its real purpose I didn't stop associating it with HP. So it took me many months to create this and to think it over and I fixed it a lot of times... And I really hope you enjoy the result. This is my vision and perception of the lyrics.






It's one of those vids where it felt like I wasn't breathing throughout... So I had to share. ♥

As I adore the song, it's win-win for me, but I'm glad it works even for those who dislike the song!

Also - hi! It seems like forever since I've seen you. Hope you are well. :)

It's rare that vids manage to capture epicness so successfully. I had to share. :)

I only ever saw the movies but the vid was wonderfully dramatic. I think it's interesting that it should be the Skyfall theme that spoke to her because that was a somewhat groundbreaking Bond film, and the movie and title was all about facing the legacy of the past and issues with parents.

The books are better, but the movies are good too, especially for stuff like vids. :)

*nods* The lyrics are very very good, and there are lines that seem to almost fit better with Harry Potter than Bond...

Lovely vid, thank you. And she finished the books just in time to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, along with the Cursed Child - the Harry Potter Play that is coming out soon...

Yes, she's timed it well. Although now of course she has to WAIT.

That was amazing! I like the song, but it really is so absolutely perfect for HP. My favorite HP vid is the one linked by sea_thoughts set to Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons. SO GOOD.

I can't remember if I've seen the Little Lion Man one, I'll have to check it out... :)

I'd seen the Skyfall vid before BUT WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE SNAKES ON A PLANE MAGNIFICENCE. I HADN'T LIVED BEFORE THIS MOMENT. I OWE YOU (and [livejournal.com profile] dualbunny) MY LIFE.

Just wanted to add my "Awesome Vid" - It's been a long time since I read any of the novels or watched the films - so great to revisit with this vid.

This is a Fine Artistic Achievement -

Yes, it's been forever since I read the books, and I've not seen the movies in... a while. So I had the same reaction! :)
