I really liked your choice of music. It was very haunting.

Thank you! Einaudi never fails to impress.

This was gorgeous- my favourite scenes were definitely the ones where they were embracing. I felt so much love and healing when I looked at them. The ending was so sad- I wanted Draco to turn around so badly- and when Harry was in pain, it was palpable- even in that one image (of his head in his hands). This was really touching and moving. I simply wish there was a happy ending though... (clearly Harry hasn't let go, since he felt a need to include the note on the invitation- and I think you never let go of real love, even when it abandons you). Fabulous job!

I know it's a very sad end, but, when I drew it, I had this verse from Dylan Thomas in mind: "Though lovers be lost love shall not". And it pretty much sums up my feelings about them.

Thank you so much for your insightful comment, I really appreciated it.

...Wow. I'm completely stunned by the beauty of this. The drawings, the music, the words all go together so perfectly... I'm speechless, honestly. I've always admired you and this is just... wow.

Sorry for the incoherence of this review but I really, really, really loved this :)

And I really, really loved your comment. I'm a big fan of incoherent words when they're caused by one of my artwork. ;)

Thank you so much!

The music really did set the tone for a gorgeous vid. The adaptation for the narration was also a fitting choice. I loved how you had imagery specifically matching up to the theme of the words but also some that were just there to give a more complete sense of the characters. It was amazing. Thank you for participating (especially since this is your last Flash movie. :) It was great!)

Oh, I'm really glad that you liked how I matched up words and images, I was afraid someone could find it a bit weird.

Thank you very much for commenting! :)
