    HP soul

    It's really wonderful, highly recommended for all HP'fans.

    Unlike "Fantastic beasts and where to find them: crimes of Grindelwald" I could aktually watch it without my eyes bleeding and enjoying.

    Hope u will continue. I wish you the best of luck!

    A Delicious and Divergent Take on a Beloved Tale

    I'll be the first to admit: it's not 100% accurate to the book. There were a lot of changes, but I believe most of them were to add more drama, and also agency to an oftentimes overlooked and trodden-upon character. No adaptation is going to be completely faithful to the book, whether that's by Warner Brothers or an indie company producing a fan film.

    Gorgeous cinematography, VFX, scoring, casting, production design...there's so much to like about this film, and it was well worth the wait. Is it the perfect adaptation? No. Is it exactly as described in the books? No. Is it a visual feast and a fresh take on a beloved series? Yes.

    Félicitations, à tous ceux qui ont travaillé sur le House of Gaunt, c'est fantastique!

    I want 2 hours version of this

    It's short, for me to short. I would like to see full blown story with this cast, cause they were marvelous (for this short screen time they've got). I fell in love with actress playing Merope, she is so magnetic here, even without having any line on script. My beloved Maxence in Lord Voldemort role.

    There is some changes in the script that were different from the book, but we can't actually require it to be 100% accurate. They had their own vision and 0% of chances on Warner Bros budget, so localizations is few but scenography is WOW, as well as special effects, which looks really good.

    Definitely worth the watch.

    The whole film was very enjoyable to watch, especially the action and spells, which deserve way more recognition! I recommend to every harry potter fan, this is great if you want to know more on the backstory of Lord Voldemort himself. Granted the ending could've been truer to the actual story but amazing nevertheless.

    Way overrated.

    9.2/10 how is this even possible? The scene of death of Hepzibath could be forgiven (even with the pointless masks), but the death of Lily and James? Have you read the books? Or worse, have you watched the movies? I'm so disappointed because the short film took so long to shoot.

    • Trivia
      The majority, if not all, of the cast and crew are residents of France and are native French speakers, despite the movie being set in London, England and being entirely in English.

      Maxence Danet-Fauvel, who portrays Voldemort in the film, did not speak English prior to being cast in the film. He had been sent the script and had to learn all of his lines phonetically, working alongside voice coaches on set in order to recite his lines and go from his native French accent to a British one.
