Vid Title: Vertigo
Author: Linda
Site: MagicalThreeTV
Notes: Linda is probably my favorite HP vidder and this video shows why. I don’t think there’s a better vid done to this song than this one. She somehow managed to edit this vid in a way where the scenes match the lyrics, and the way they keep spinning actually makes you understand the song in its essence… if you know what I mean. She actually made me feel dizzy… in a good way, in this case… and she’s the only one that can say that..–I don’t know why I didn’t rec this vid sooner myself. This is a must-see for everyone who comes into my home, just so I can get them in a great mood!–Jenn

Vid Title: The Boy Was A Puppet
Author: Fabella
Site: Fabella’s Vids
Notes: “The Boy Was a Puppet” by Fabella, Harry Potter character study. This is hands-down the best Harry Potter video I have ever seen. The use of metaphor, objects and movement is plain astounding, and the video delves deeply into its subject matter. An extremely insightful and sensitive look into the inherent tragedy in Harry Potter as a character.

Vid Title: Break Down
Author: Di
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: The link takes you to Di’s LiveJournal where the vid can be found. Want to see GOF in a hard hitting, fully loaded THREE MINUTES? This is it! Di has once again managed to take an entire Harry Potter movie, set it to song, cover everything, and blow your mind. The editing is supurb and the zoooooms are fascinating!

Vid Title: Ice Ice Baby
Author: Catlin and Helena
Site: Enamoured
Notes: This might be a really short vid, but it sure is one of the most original and fun videos I’ve ever seen. Not to mention they had the perfect lady cast as Narcissa. It will be tough for the real movie version of her to beat this one… This is one little gem I think all HP fans should have a look.

Vid Title: Lost in a Dream
Author: JaddziaDax
Site: My Cat Is Pestering Me
Notes: Go to almost the bottom of the page to find the video and grab the Better Quality one. Lost in a Dream is a great title for this video since you’ll get lost in it from the first moment. It will remind you why you fell in love with Harry’s world. Timed perfectly to the music and just pure fun to watch.

Vid Title: Return to Innocence
Author: Lenna
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: It feels kinda weird to be reccing a vid from my own website, but it’s just that this remains the ultimate crossover video for me. It shows both LOTR and HP fandoms perfectly and creates the perfect union between them. No wonder I decided to name our HP/LOTR site after it! It’s beautiful and touching and it was the one vid that made me more interested in HP, so I owe Lenna a big one. I can never hear this song again without thinking of Frodo and Harry…

Vid Title: Clocks
Author: Di
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: Di describes it as “POA in 5 Minutes” but it’s even more impressive than that. The editing is spot-on, quick, and clever. It’s clear she knows the movie inside and out.

Vid Title: Killer in Me
Author: Lenna
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: Perfect song about Harry and Tom. Music is by Smashing Pumpkins and the feel of the vid is dark and dramatic. You will get chills watching this vid. No matter how many times I watch it, it never ceases to amaze me just how eerie it is.

Vid Title: Dust In The Wind
Author: Ana
Notes: Another Harry Potter vid, but unlike the rest. For us older fans, this song alone can be very moving. Ana did a GREAT job using it for this vid and this is only one of the many vids this new vidder has created that I adore.

Notes: Harry, Ron, Hermione vid. Full of energy, fun, shippiness, great editing, perfect use of “speed up” clips. The clip used at 2:27 is the best use of any one clip EVER!
