The Potter Family | There was no saving you. (AU: What if James Potter survived?)

Фильм және анимация

❝One last day with your beloved, which day would you choose?❞
-
There is only one birthday we're celebrating today, and that's Harry Potter's.
I almost didn't get this up in time, because to be honest, this video isn't very good. I started out strong, I thought things were taking shape, and then it just kinda...didn't. I spent the whole night trying to fix it and make it watchable, and I think I've at least done that. Or maybe that's the sleep deprivation talking. It's still not great by any means, but I hope it's still an interesting watch.
Story: James survives the attack on October 31st, but finds Lily dead, leaving him to take care of Harry on his own. Battling his own depression after losing the love of his life (and keeps seeing her everywhere) and finding out more about Dumbledore's plans for Harry, he maintains his status as a Good Supportive Dad who just wants the best for his son. It follows the story of the books. James Potter then dies during the Battle of Hogwarts, reuniting with Lily. Were James' visions of Lily a hallucination or real? It's open to interpretation.
And yes, I still maintain that this is a happier version of the story than canon.
I kept the Remus and Sirius cameos limited, because while I think they probably would've all co-parented Harry, I just really wanted to focus on James, Lily, and Harry. Maybe someday I'll give this AU another go with a more universal approach.
Footage is from Harry Potter and various.
Music is Kettering by The Antlers.
Colouring is mine.

    Anyone ever think about the fact James Potter never lived in a world without Lily Evans? Born last, died first. So this is sending me to the grave rn.

    To this day I've seen a couple of AU's already in which only one of them survived and not a single one made me as emotional as this one. This is so well done, the scenes are truly perfect - they work perfectly with each other and connect as they're made for this. You outdid yourself with this one and I am so emotional right now

    No, because I keep wanting to say this or that is the best HP Marauders video I've ever seen since I've seen so many but this? Holy---. The manips were the most flawless I've ever had the pleasure and honor of seeing with my own two eyes. Watching this was a whole blessing and both made me SO happy and SO sad. You captured grief beautifully, and the happy memories and the love... I am completely blown away by how much your talent continues to grow and how amazing you're able to tell stories too. Thank you for sparing our fandom the time and energy - we treasure it so much.
