                                 Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The green dull look that dominated most scenes has been removed as much as 
possible, resulting in a more dynamic visual style (though not necessarily more 
accurate or natural). Awkward dialogue, events contrary to the Harry Potter 
universe, out of character behaviour, and a few visually unpleasant shots have 
been cut. Five deleted scenes have been added which improve the plot and 
relationships while also making the film more immersive.


I wished to make it a bit more loyal to the book in terms of characters, story 
and mood. And also visually closer to the rest of the films in the saga. Always 
keeping in mind that however dark the story may be, it still takes place in a 
magical and beautiful world, at least in the book.
