Synopsis: "An orphaned boy enrolls in a school of wizardry, where he learns the truth about himself, his family and the terrible evil that haunts the magical world."

Edit summary: This edit heavily slims down the eight-film series into a trilogy, although due to the flow of the narrative the first and third films feel a bit flat in the first hour. I also tried to remove as much of the bad writing as possible but there still are some hand-waving Deus Ex Machina bits by the author that an edit can't really fix.

The main goal was to fix the rather poor ending films and focus more on it being a fun magical-school adventure rather than a story fixated on a particular special boy. So I cut everything related to the details of the parents murder, mothers love, and any special abilities resulting from that aside from his scar warning him of impending danger. I also removed all mentions of mudblood or any other racial implications to keep the mood a bit lighter.

This heavily alters the timeline in places, so don't expect a story that's true to the books. I also toned down the teen angst of the later films, removing most of the romance, school dances, etc.
