--Plot--

Harry Potter is hiding in the flowerbed beneath the open living room window of his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon’s home at Four Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. Suddenly, a thunderous crack rips through the neighborhood, and Harry leaps up so quickly that he smashes his head on the window, alerting his aunt and uncle to his hiding place in the garden. Harry is sure that the crack was someone either Apparating or Disapparating, and he leaves Privet Drive to investigate its source. Harry wanders off to a local playground and watches as his cousin, Dudley, leading a gang of delinquents, slinks past. He approaches Dudley, and the two boys begin to argue as the night becomes pitch black and very cold. Harry realizes that dementors are about to attack. After much struggle, Harry uses his wand to summon a Patronus stag, and the stag saves both boys. Mrs. Figg, Harry’s neighbor, comes running toward them. She tells Harry that someone named Mundungus Fletcher had been ordered to follow him and keep him safe, but that Mundungus must have left his watch to buy more stolen cauldrons. Mrs. Figg warns Harry that Dumbledore will soon know he’s used his magic outside of Hogwarts. Suddenly, Harry hears another crack, and Mundungus appears. Mrs. Figg demands that Mundungus return to Hogwarts immediately and explain to Dumbledore why Harry needed to use his magic.

Harry and Dudley return to Privet Drive. While entering, Dudley vomits and falls over. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon answer the door and fuss over him, demanding to know exactly what happened. Dudley points to Harry, and as Harry begins to explain, an owl flies through an open window, dropping a letter that expels Harry from Hogwarts for improper use of magic and announces that someone will be arriving shortly to destroy his wand. Another owl arrives, carrying a special kind of letter known as a Howler, which literally howls its message to its recipient. The owl bypasses Harry and deposits the letter on Petunia’s head. The letter howls: “Remember my last, Petunia.” Petunia demands that Harry stay, despite Vernon’s wishes. Petunia refuses to tell Harry what the message means and insists that he not leave his room.

After wakening from a terrible nightmare, Harry heads downstairs to investigate a noise coming from the kitchen. He is greeted by a group of wizards: Mad-Eye Moody, Professor Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Elphias Doge and Sturgis Podmore, and Hestia Jones. They have come to transport him somewhere safe to await his hearing without further danger.

That was awesome! Mugglenet even posted the video on their facebook! Quite an honor if you ask me :wink: And funny thing, your custom Tonks is almost exactly like mine! Same torso and hair piece! I almost even used that face on her but went with another one instead.

Thank you everyone for the kind replies, be sure to spread the word, it really helps.

Why doesnt anyone frontpage this? C'mon mods its great!

Why thank you for the praise, I wouldn't even dare to aspire to a front page mention, but we perhaps could try to pressure the mods into it ahaha :grin:

I'm very glad that you guys appreciated it :) Especially I may say since you weren't Harry Potter fans to start with, that surely means a lot.

I have a feeling this forum is the most deserted on the entire site... You totally deserve more buzz!

I know, right? I posted this by accident in the Licensed forum as I was thinking Harry Potter = Licensed, before I realized it had to be put into the Brickfilms forums, but some admin did the job for me, and since then, the topic has been deserted Haha :grin:

Who's even the mod for these forums?

No Idea. In fact I'm not even sure there is one. Or at least not to this specific to this forum as far as I know of.

Excellent animation. Very fluent, but not artificial looking. The voice actors did wonderful work as well. It can be hard to emote with no on-screen appearance, and they manage it without being too cartoony.
