The Tale of the Three Brothers OFFICIAL ADAPTATION NESCom HD

[@IzumisChild]

Keep in mind...this was put together by COLLEGE students for a final project. College director, college production team, mostly college student actors, on their way to greater things, so judge warily. For what they had, they accomplished a great deal, especially the magic of the bridge; they had a tough time figuring that out.

I must say that my favorite part of this film was your interpretation of Death. Death is usually presented a tall, intimidating, cloaked man, and associated with the color black. However, you interpreted death as a young girl and associated her with the color white. I found this interpretation very interesting and original, which really made me love this film.

[@inoxydable3876]

Actually, I thought that the grandpa was a descendant of the Peverell family giving it to James (Potter), meaning that every generation did it.

[@PrincessofEllabur]

@@inoxydable3876 except that's impossible because the Pevellerell family died out with female line. Since Harry's ancestor the son of Linfred the Potter married the eldest daughter of the Peverells descendant from the 3 brother and since their were NO males in her family the cloak got passed to her. So it kept passing to the eldest of each generation until James Potter gave it to Dumbledore before his Death, then Dumbledore gave it to Harry.

You have just skipped much more than 15 generations! True it could of been James Peverell But that was years ago, They would not have electric lights or houses to that stage Research would make this actually worthwhile! www.pottermore.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/the-potter-family

[@julieluke1434]

Yes, it could have been. But, in this case, that's not a valid reason as to why this isn't James Potter. There was no relative named James close enough in James Potter's/Ignotus Peverell's family tree to have electricity and all that jazz but James Potter. In fact, James' own father was probably born sometime in the late eighteen hundreds either around when or just after the lightbulb had just been invented, making it virtually impossible for this to be anyone other than James Potter.

[@HowItOughtToBe]

+Julie Luke Unless James' father had him when he was in his sixties I highly doubt he was born in the late 1800s

[@julieluke1434]

+HowItOughtToBe Actually, they probably did. J.K. has stated that James' parents were very old to be having children, even by wizarding standards (wizards live longer than Muggles, you know), so it's probable that he was. We know he was born pre-1909, and to be old by wizarding standards you have to be ollllldddddd. Therefore, late 1800s.

[@thomassmells]

The invisibility cloak was in the Potter family so James probably was a Potter based on two things. First of all the grandad was a Peverral, but James could be a Potter if the grandad had a daughter who married a Potter. Then secondly he is likely a Potter as by a guess of the time setting based on the house, it is only decades (20-40 years depending if this is Harry's dad James)before Harry was born, so the cloak would be in the Potter family by then to be given to Dumbledore to give back on Harry.

I think this was incredibly well done! *Spoiler* I love the fact that it was James Potter and his grandfather. I suppose each owner of the invisibility cloak, after it becomes their son's or their daughter's, must greet death as their friend, for they evaded her for far too long.

[@adamariruelas5647]

That is impossible that the little boy is James Potter sr. because it is said that Voldemort and Harry Potter are distantly related through the Peverell family ( the three brothers). Then J.K. Rowling opened to the public that Ignotus Peverell was the youngest brother and he had a daughter, just one daughter and she married Hardwin Potter and the second brother Cadmus peverell's desendant is Marvolo Gaunt, father of Tom Riddle's jr, mother making Voldemort related to Harry. So my theory is that the little boys name was James Potter but not Harry Potter's dad but insted the son of Ignotus' daughter and Hardwin Potter

[@chloehanna9225]

Or perhaps the grandfather is simply a metaphor for the third brother, as the entire family essentially is. It is clearly implied that this is James Potter.

For an amateur production (from reading the comments, this was made by college students), this was actually very good.

[@Beeba10]

And that must be one powerful kid wizard. He looks maybe 12? And he shut the door with a wave of his hand. I know James and Lily were both considered very powerful and Harry was shown to be able to (unintentionally) do wandless magic at 15, but wow. This kid did it both deliberately AND he's only about 12

[@SakiBlablabla]

The grandfather is definitely Henry Potter ,James s grandfather how ever he is also a mirror caracter for Ignatus , long story short , he was reading this story as he knew He was about to die ...and died without telling the end also when James learned the end of the story he imagined his grandfather greeting Death as an old friend the way Ignatus has done ! Or maybe as healders of the invisibility cloak are granted by death as a friend in honor of that one only man who managed to truly cheat on her for years and years , but still choose to grant her as his oldest friend in the end !

[@nia01thomas70]

Luna the moon this was a year ago when I was in my hp obsession. I have absolutely no Idea who I was on about sorry 😅

[@AlexSciChannel]

Can't be because the Peveral line ended with Iolanthe Peverell who was an only child and married a Potter that isn't descended from the 3 brothers.

[@Skieth0]

Its a james potter, If the grandfather is the youngest brother then his daughter married into the potter family, and james of that age being the first potter tobe descended of him.

[@iamaassignmentyourworstnig6567]

Hmmm, Maybe my dad's Mother was Ignotus Peverell's daughter, and His mom Married a Potter, so james Was a Potter??

[@giuliabarbero2382]

This video is AWESOME!! I don't understand why people don't like it!

[@christina32760]

okay but James P. must stand for Peverell not Potter because the last of the Peverell line was a woman who married a Potter.Also james' parents died after he finished Hogwarts

[@brittanythompson580]

That was his grandfather

[@jackvaleska4700]

I assume the grandpa is Jame's mom's dad. Then the mom can mary a potter and that James a potter.

[@slytheringirl7872]

No grandpa on his fathers side not his mother. His mother was Dorea Black who married his father Charles Potter both purebloods created James their son. As he got older their son fell in love and got married to a mudblood named Lilly Evens in turn they created Harry James Potter the boy who lived a half-blood.

[@slytheringirl7872]

Then how did he inherit the cloak of invisibility

[@jackvaleska4700]

+Slytherin Girl Dorea and Charles are not James' parents. Saids so in the wiki.

[@punkinghost]

I was expecting a twist but not a double twist. This was awesome. Great job everyone involved

[@vh5636]

It's beautiful to see so many wonderful fan creations. This is one of my favorites. I like the setting, music and story.

[@brunaduarte6967]

This short movie is so much better than actual movies produced by professionals. Props to the students that created this master piece, this is bloody amazing!

[@wandamaximoff7903]

Criticize if you can act people, those who are brave to direct ,edit and act this short film are worthy of it. Just enjoy the show :)

[@geekygalaxy4307]

My dream job is to direct a movie

[@modithorson6951]

Wanda Maximoff you dont have to be able to act to judge if someone is a bad actor or not

[@queerym87]

That kid was junk

[@patricialaw57]

The kid was okay, considering this is a college project, and yes some of the start may have been a bit shaky, but he might've just been getting into the feel of it again, and hey, not all of us are child prodigy's at like 10-15 or something. And no you don't have to act, but we can't really say anything too bad if you can't do it yourself, or don't know the process behind it.

[@wandamaximoff7903]

But the thing is not all have equipments, especially college students. I'm a musical director and also did some films currently in high school. But to be able to pull it off by themselves is a tough challenge even though it might seem low budgeted. You could see the majority of work is that they did try to push it through :)

[@dracomalfoy1290]

I admit it was altered from the original, but it made it all the better! This version brought me to tears, and I honestly think this was done fairly well. Props to you guys!

[@nattaliedoherty8834]

Draco Malfoy u ain’t Draco malfoy

[@mariaporcayomanjarrez7924]

This is the most awesome, beautiful, fabulous thing I've ever seen. JK should watch this master piece

[@begumkurt526]

And James never had the chance to tell that story to his son or grandchildren :’)

[@jtessman85]

Grandpa: Goodbye James Me: NOOO NOT GRANDPA

[@Weblurker92]

I'm getting a Sheldon Cooper vibe from this kid.

[@mryoungandbrave1]

Great adaptation. I love how it seems like this story was passed down for many years, until it was added to Beetle the Bard.

[@Julie-ed2so]

I know this story really well, but now I'm crying. Thanks for made it.

[@nba_wyr]

I am a kid and an aspiring film maker(who love Harry Potter!)and this is something that just gives me so much hope. Right now I’m making my own home movies with my friends and this take that kind of thing to the next level. This is a masterpiece. Well done.

[@imvictoria.bye.3784]

I really enjoyed this fanfilm! One of the best I have ever seen! I like how you betrayed the three brothers and the plot twist was on point! It actually made me tear up a little bit at the end. A really beautiful fanfilm, great work from all of you!

[@phoenixgardner2912]

The kid who played james was adorable. I love this so much it was really well done.

[@serend9992]

I always thought I was dead inside till I saw this... I cried so hard

[@MiaPaige229]

I love the small plot twist at the end that james wears his grandfathers glasses in his memory and not because he needs them to see

[@aliannaholcomb6745]

Yeah but his eyesight will be screwed up.

[@z.z.1876]

Hey! I really enjoyed this film! Very well-done and I love how you connected the basic short story to the actual family of the third brother - generation after generation receiving Death’s gift! :)

[@jwala1391]

Hey guys I think that his name is not James Potter but James Peverell

[@herschiel]

N-no...

[@nonopls869]

CONSPIRACIESSSS

[@shrutiw.6904]

Not necessarily

[@camsterfrickernstein4744]

Ffs no point in denying it, it is mr potter

[@somethingaboutsomeone7641]

James didn't have any brothers, but it wouldn't be surprising if the brothers are ancestors of James.

[@darkprincemole498]

This has to be my favorite version so far.

[@laurenescalante1177]

"Goodbye James" I died. At least I now met James' grandpa...

[@deadpoetssphere]

That's James's Peverell

[@nyluv150]

"Goodbye James" screams then say "whyyyyyy"😂

[@DrkShdwFox420]

Filmed in the city I reside in. Bangor Maine, USA. It's Husson University and New England School of Communications (NESCom). This was a fantastic job done by them. I'm thoroughly impressed by how hard they worked on this. Excellent work! Five stars: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@DDiamond8374]

Why is this short film made by college students so much better than most adaptations by big-budget companies nowadays?

[@kaisantiago7643]

Oh my f-ing lord this is now one of my favorite short films EVER

[@nykv9101]

Love the interpretation of death

[@juali222]

I really love it! This is really creative! You did a really great job!!!! And to those complaining about death being a girl: remember that the grandfather just made that up. He just changed his mind for a girl being the bad one... We all know that it's not specifically said in the tale but the girl as death is just the grandfather's version. And also I know that its pretty possible that this James p should be Harrys father, but what if a long time before Harrys father was born, there was another child named James. I mean it's totally possible, isn't it?

[@EL-yh5vv]

Super Movie, one of the best I've seen so far, thanks a lot for your work!

[@boldbearings]

That is fun. The effects are good, and so is the acting. The 2nd brother's wedding photo moving especially brought it home that we were in the Potterverse. Lmao "he went with Death gladly, as an old friend..." [Death literally knocking his door down while he's trying to tuck his grandson in]

[@dovebar76]

As a die hard Harry Potter fan, I was skeptical at first, but WOW! This was really well done!

[@sagearoon3193]

Me too! It was really good, Harry Potter 4 ever!

[@me-kh8vg]

amazing! this is the best Version of the tale i have ever seen and i loved to see death as a little girl! (sorry for the mistakes, i'm from germany and my english isn't perfect ^^)

[@kayla4551]

I'm German too... Die Welt ist halt klein

[@5kovich]

This was the saddest film I ever watched! But at the same time....it was great, and emotional!

[@MercuryA2000]

Plot twist: Grandma and grandpa just pranked the heck out of him.

[@spencerkim9054]

1. Thanks for blessing us with this. I never knew I needed it. 2. ACTUALLY GASPED WHEN JAMES SHUT THE DOOR. 3. NON STOP CHILLS

[@blairettevibes4507]

Ths just... Took my breath away...! This was amazing!

[@namesregine9035]

is the old man meant to be ignotus? if so then that cant be james potter

[@lillavsy]

I don't think he is Ignotus, he is just the last member of the Potter family who knew what the invisibility cloak really was, and when he knew he had to die he passed it down to the youngest member of the family, James, and the ending is only the way it is because it makes the short film more complete.

[@mariam-ch4in]

Names Regine its james’s ancestor, the name james is common in the potter family

[@AA-gh3fp]

I think It’s just a new generation of the three brothers. Which just means it’s a new generation and others a named the three brothers but aren’t actually the brothers.

[@Outcast_VR]

If he was ignotus then that doesn't have to be Harry's father, we know there was a James before him, and the p could be peveral as it's never stated to be potter

[@a._rch42]

No, Ignotus is the youngest brother.

[@vivianaselwyn6569]

This lowkey makes me feel sad for the middle brother.

[@YahikoTendo]

This was well made. I've always wanted to do a project like this but haven't had the chance. For the tools available and people involved in making this I'm very impressed, better than a lot of movies that have been made lately. This is quite an interesting adaptation and I didn't know what to expect so I just want to say thanks for making such a well crafted movie.
