back with another manacled edit, this time: flashback edition 🐍

MANACLED: harry potter is dead. in the aftermath of the war, in order to strengthen the might of the magical world, voldemort enacts a repopulation effort. hermione granger has an order secret, lost but hidden in her mind, so she is sent as a handmaiden to the high reeve until her mind can be cracked. // please note this is a dark fic - please read the trigger warnings!

whenever recommending someone the dramione fic, 'manacled' by senlinyu, i always preface it that you need to make it to chapter 25 - the flashbacks - for things to piece themselves together. the plot twist makes all the difference, and on my second read -through this past november, the flashbacks really hit me so much stronger (probably because i wasn't in so much despair reading it like i was the first time). since then, i've always wanted to vid it. and yes, this song is from senlinyu's official playlist!

this edit follows - or at least, i tried! - the flashbacks sequence and i tried to squeeze in some of my favourite bits (not everything could make it, obviously). all these chapters are page turners, and the parallels from the previous chapters is... chefs kiss. it is so, so good.

for the casting, i'm ngl this was a DOOZY. i love tom as draco - probably my new draco - and the last few scenes of tbosas were very early days manacled for me. he's not entirely perfect but! sometimes we gotta make the blondes work. as for hermione oh my GOD what a process. but i settled on medalion rahimi for this specific project (with her 10 usable scenes, lol). a BIG shout-out to @Bellsilili for all her help with this fancast & footage 🖤

ALSO! as senlinyu looks to publish a new book - a sort of reimagined manacled - i just wanted to say how EXCITED i am! i absolutely love her work, and know that this book is going to be incredible. and hey, ever since fma:b, i love alchemy, lol. cannot wait to vid them in the future.

anyways i lost this project when i had 10s left so this has been... a labour of love to say the least. i'm not entirely?? happy with it but man it just needs to get out there into the world, lol.

you editing manacled is my roman empire

[LaurenMichellex]

"The Malfoys are closer to being dragons than they are of wizards." ACTUALLY JAIL FOR YOU, THE DRAGON EYE CLIP NO

[dianaszuts]

I love how you recasted both of them not just Draco. Gives a totally different feel.

[martharaffloer]

Oh my God. This is it. Exactly what Manacled looks like in my mind when I read it. Thank you. It's brilliant. I can't stop watching it over and over again.

[xsbtfne]

I'm not even joking, this is the most real and beautiful visual of Manacled I've ever seen! You've incorporated the story -so- well, it feels like it may as well be a movie trailer. Absolutely stunning! Thank you for bringing this to us!

[Bellsilili]

the manor on fire...everything in flames chefs kiss

[nyxldx]

I'm gonna be brutally honest here Lizzie, _years_ of peer pressure, admiration of fanarts, sight of random quotes, as well as emotional rants for this story from friends... and this is the closest I've come to actually feel tempted to touch Manacled.

Holy hell, you did an incredible job

[JuliaHutchins-uv]

Finally someone that didn’t use Emma Watson as Manacled hermione. This is the best I’ve seen so far thank you!

[LaurenMichellex]

I will be back once I stop screaming crying & throwing up. LIZZIE. I will NOT recover from this. DON'T EVER DO THIS AGAIN.

[KazWinchester]

Can't believe you got me reading hp fanfiction in 2024, but I love this edit and fancast.

[Sugaredquills]

Using President Snow as Draco Malfoy was perfect. ❤ you did a great job casting these characters.

[thesleepinggirl]

i feel like i might sink and drown and die, this is so gorgeous 💕

[editednightmare]

This is an absolute masterpiece! All the raw manips and the recasting brings such life to the video. I am in awe and shock.

[cklays]

Just speachless... I'm currently in tears this is a MASTERPIECE (as MANACLED fan all i can say is thank u for this)

[serine]

This was epic... the casting is actually really good specially draco ... I never could imagine manacled draco as tom felton actually .... but this actor looks perfect ...

[GH-fbdh]

I love Tom Blythe as Draco in Manacled. The original Draco always seemed so weak and cowardly to me. Plus I never pictured Emma as Manacled’s Hermione either, I guess cause she looks so different in the original illustrations. Both of them, actually

[Bellsilili]

OKAy, BUT WHEN THE LESTRANGE MANOR PART STARTED I WAS SHOCKED

[Julia]

what a beautiful fit for hermione! what a gorgeous video you made!!! i'm in awe

[desireecrawford]

I cried from the pure of emotion in this video. It was SO good 😭😭

[dianedelacruz]

THIS IS FREAKING INCREDIBLE! MY HEART POUNDED SO HARD ALTHROUGH OUT THE VIDEO! MORE OF THIS
