James & Lily | Counting Paths

watch in HD & small screen! Enjoy! - ENG/PL SUBTITLES AVALIBLE
----------------------------------
Here it is. Some of you may have noticed that I haven't really uploaded any full vid in a long, long time. The reason is mostly my thesis - it sucks me dry to the point I neither have energy nor inspiration to vid.
But this one... I HAD to vid Jily. I HAD to vid Counting Paths. It was a really long and demanding process but I finally finished.
As you can see I fell for Sophie as Lily, she undeniably is perfect! I just cannot wait for more content with her. Yall can thank Alyssa (darknessinside) for this perfect fancast!
I have also experimented with Peter fancast again, I cannot seem to find my perfect fit. Let me know what do you think!
I would like to thank and dedicate this vid to Zoé, who have waited patiently and was (often with priceless help) there during this looong loooong creation process.
AS TO THE STORY!
I tried to follow important moments of James and Lily's lifes but also didn't want to repeat every scene from other amazing vids.
You can see some Hogwarts moments, beginings of their love and their struggles during war. I added also parts about their other relationships, especially Lily's, because I see them as a big part of their story.
I hope you will all enjoy! Let me know!

OKAY, so I'm going to make a long comment because I already know this will tear me to shreds. 0:00 - LOOK IT'S THEIR NAMES. I'M ALREADY HYPERVENTILATING???? 0:10 - THAT PARALLEL. 0:20 - This manip is a lot earlier than I originally expected and...HOW DARE YOU??? We've barely started and you've already ripped hearts to shreds? 0:41 - RILY WOW 0:58 - That sassy smile is just?? So James??? 1:04 - HOW ARE YOU SO PERFECT? 1:16 - This is so sweet!! 1:22 - I'VE USED THIS QUOTE FOR MY VIDEOS IT'S SO SNAPE HKSDFHKSDF 1:33 - This Petunia is so A+ 1:39 - I love heteros!!! 1:45 - Yes, I love this quote! *cries* 2:01 - EXCUSE ME??? Also, I just realized we're not even half way....Oh god...HELP. Also, I took a break because it was just TOO MUCH and decided to read the description and...THIS IS FOR ME???? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Okay, back to business. *sniffles* 2:11 - This manip kills me every time, in every video. It's like they wanted it to be done. 2:26 - HE LOOKS SO CONCERNED 2:29 - That quote is just so good...I'm dying. 2:35 - WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS??? The agreement for her safety? THAT'S CANON, BITCH. 2:45 - The iconic scene that just proves that Sophie was meant to be Lily. No doubt. It was written in the stars. 2:52 - Her calling him Jamie...love that! HOW IS THERE STILL A MINUTE LEFT??? 2:59 - This is just so THEM and I don't even know why?? KILL ME 3:02 - I love slow dancing!!! 3:08 - OH MY GODDDDDD 3:15 - I'M READY FOR THEIR WEDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3:24 - Go away, angst. I was enjoying things. 3:35 - HELLO SIRIUS 3:40 - WOWOWOWOWWWWW 3:43 - Stop, he looks so sad... 3:55 - This Peter is fitting, I think. 4:00 - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 4:02 - I HATE EVERYTHING 4:05 - THIS VIDEO IS THE WORST 4:08 - WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 4:13 - NO THANKS Oh god, oh god, oh god.....I DEAD. GOOD THING I PREPARED MY GRAVE. STABBING ME IN THE BACK WOULD'VE BEEN LESS PAINFUL. Do I love you?? Hate you??? To be determined.

[@SunnyVids]

I can't believe it took me 20 minutes to watch this video...that's how intense it was, how many times I had to pause. WOW.

[@stillhotterthanyours]

IM SCREAMING I wasn't expecting such comment! I'm really really glad you liked it, thank you again for all the help

[@gejradar912]

that comment is my existence i swear

[@vitoriaserafim1942]

SAME HERE OMG

[@mufflewormplays7521]

U basically just wrote a book

[@fionamurray1031]

Instead of the Harry Potter fans saying “Always” we should say “take Harry and run” James faced Voldemort wandless in hope that his wife and son would survive. Snape was a abusive prick

[@clairei5171]

Fiona Murray we can also say "until the very end" James says this to Harry in deathly hallows

[@agathadiangelo82]

I say Always because it’s what Lily tell Harry in the Deathly Hallows when he asked he they would stay with him

[@fionamurray1031]

@@agathadiangelo82 yeah that works, as long as we aren’t idolizing Snape lol

[@urmom3059]

PURRR

[@jill5681]

I know the scene with Snape's memories of James and Lily was supposed to make me feel bad for Snape but it always just made me really sad for the Potters... They deserved so much more...😭

[@sabrinamiller3671]

Finally, somebody with a brain. Thank you.

[@Idk-ud1pf]

U ma’am have logic

[@fatimaqureshi4984]

Thankyou. The potters deserved everything.

[@raquelsaucedo5147]

Omg yes a person that thanks

[@victoriamostipan8271]

Totally agree. Why do Snape and Lily always get so much love for their loyalty while James stays out? They are all worth remembering ((

[@fatimaqureshi4984]

James and Lilly were perfect for each other, I don't understand why some people really hate James because of his past as a bully. He wasn't racist like Draco, he was a spoilt person but a good one who really changed his attitude when he fell in love with Lilly and had a child to fight for.

[@raquelsaucedo5147]

Omg yes I agree

[@phoenix9921]

@MD Akhjar He clearly was a bully. What he did to Snape was not butting heads, it was a group of people (the marauders) attacking and humiliating one boy. They were going to forcibly take off his underpants, that's basically sexual harassment. Even if he and Snape were rivals and Snape regularly got him back, that was bullying. Sirius and Remus even said he went around cursing other people for fun. But people can change, and James clearly grew up, unlike Snape or Sirius who never really grew out of their adolescence.

[@dynaalebasy]

😢😭😭😭 I wish there was a Movie bout the mauraders

[@alessandraescobar3644]

Omg a movie that ends the moment Harry is left in Petunias door

[@raquelsaucedo5147]

@@alessandraescobar3644 yes

[@alishaahmed6874]

Alessandra Escobar what is it called??

[@olgatersteegderoos717]

I wish that to! Or one book of them. Who knows whit time🙏

[@victoriamostipan8271]

James and Lily are just perfect together. I so regret that Rowling gave them and other marauders too little time. The story of their life would be no less amazing than Harry's is. And still all we have is fan videos. I mean, this particular video is gorgeous, but I would pay so much to know a bit more about that times!

[@AnneSoshi]

THIS VIDEO YOU EXHIBITED IS ICONIC LIKE. THE LEGEND JUMPED OUT.

[@DaniDiggory]

I must say, although Karen Gillan will always be my favourite choice for Lily, this video of yours is AMAZING!! The quotes, the manips that are so uniques (I've never seen anything like that on any of the other Jily/marauders videos)... its just bloody perfect! Favourited for ever!!!

[@stillhotterthanyours]

ah, you have no idea how much that means to me! Thank you!

[@lostbirdx]

it's fine, i don't need to breathe, i don't need my heart, it's really fine. this is beyond words, really

[@CrAZychicke]

Phenomenal. This was the best Jily vid I've ever seen. Just perfect casting, and filled with so much emotion. I loved the friendships between all the marauders and Lily, and I am always such a wreck each time I see Jily's deaths, and Sirius' reaction. Thanks for ripping out my heart. Stunning x

[@stillhotterthanyours]

Thank you! I put all of my Jily emotions into this, glad others can feel that! :D

[@vitoriaserafim1942]

OMG. This is really the best Jily edit I've ever seen! Look at this scenes, transitions... I just can't handle with so much perfection. Also, my ideal James Potter is portrait by Aaron Johnson and the Marauders (Remus by Andrew Garfield; Sirius by Ben Barnes) I JUST FREAKED OUT. Hell, yes. This is magic. Pure magic. Thanks for this, sister

[@the_blind_chick]

Excuse me???? Wait. No. Excuse YOU?! How very DARE you give me these emotions. Ughhhh this is GORGEOUS! The manips, the fancast, the voiceovers. All edited in just the right way to absolutely destroy my heart. I love it. 😭

[@tasia_5919]

I love casting so much. Especially Snape

[@leahlewis5228]

This broke my heart. This is so underrated

[@SunnyVids]

I haven't started yet. I'm digging my grave. Bye.

[@lucia-fj6nc]

THE BEST JILY VIDEO! 🖤 (also YES for Ben Barnes as Sirius)

[@somosinevitables]

WOW, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The fancast is a DREAM.

[@melodymikaelson1933]

Okay soooo many WHY's! Number one: WHY do you wanna make me cry? I mean really, this video is perfect and that leads me to my number 2! Why is there no movie or book, that shows us the years of the marauders. This would be so much more amazing and i really love Sophie as Lily. Number 3: Why would someone dislike this? SIRIUSLY what is wrong with you guys?

[@zainabhussain6635]

This is amazing, it's literally on repeat I love it so much, thank you for this masterpiece I think the actors you've picked really fit the characters ahhh there are not enough words to explain how much I love it 😭❤😍

[@darknessinsidex]

I'm absolutely chill btw, it's not like I'm screaming or anything 🙂 (You recreated the dinner, I'm totally fine)

[@stillhotterthanyours]

hdhdhdhd I TRIED TO RECREATE IT, you have no idea how relieved I am that someone actually noticed lmao

[@SunnyVids]

YES, IT WAS ICONIC

[@nyx284]

what dinner? omg

[@stillhotterthanyours]

@@nyx284 james and lily once went to the dinner with petunia and vernon. It didn't go very well... I tried to recreate part of it at 1:40 ;)

[@KiiSimplyMe]

Oh my, this is a work of art! I am simply speechless. Aside from the manips, you managed to convey what i think is the perfect atmosphere of the time. Brilliant!!

[@togeppy2490]
