I just have this feeling that Narcissa was at platform 9 3/4 the first time scorpius goes to Hogwarts and Andromeda is there with teddy lupin, and they see each other and who they have become. They don’t say anything, they both know that it will never be as it was before, but from that glance they forgive each other and are able to move on though they always love each other and never forget there childhood.

Honestly, I'm so glad you decided to play Bellatrix because you play her so well!

You should make another film. Focusing on what happens a while after the all marry. Having Narcissa and Bella with Voldemort and Andromeda with Ted. Edit- I do know that Voldemort and Bella do not get married but I mean after they split up and everything

Love the attention to details in the progression of their costumes in relation to the individual narratives!

and to Abbi-Kaye: you did an amazing job portraying a character that has not been portrayed before and whose character you had to essentially create from scratch. you did an amazing job bringing andromeda to life!

Your eye actually brought so much to the character, I wouldn't have replaced you for anything in the world

I think the thing that resonated most with me during the Sisters of House Black was that the music box played when the sisters are showing their love for each other, even if it was in ways the others didn't understand. It was a very clever device. Also loved the subtle hints of how Bellatrix and Andromeda were frequently mistaken for each other, right until the end when Andromeda made the decisive decision to go her own way. Loved the film!

Genius writing, great execution, very professional. Great casting choices. Sometimes I can really see a bit of Nymphadora in Andromeda's actress and that excited me a lot. Great attention to detail, it's obvious that the film was created by true fans who love and care for the series. As a writer,, I admire you for this project and I hope we can expect from you more work like this in the future, be it in the Potterverse or not. Keep up the good work!

The three actresses--Kelsey and Abbi-Kaye Ellison and Hannah Snow--playing the Black sisters did a wonderful job, as indeed did the rest of the cast. I didn't catch on until my second viewing of the short film that all the memories were supposed to be Narcissa's and was glad that was confirmed here. Kelsey Ellison did a good job imagining this world in writing and in portraying Bellatrix's descent into madness. I look forward to seeing more from the cast of Sisters of House Black in the future. Thank you to all those who worked on this film, its sets, costumes, jewelry, etc. Fantastic work!

Narcissa was named after a flower, just like Lily and Petunia. Flowers/mother love that saved Harry

Hello, Kelsey. I found your channel by accident, but I just want to say this movie was absolutely brilliant.

The first time I watched the film I thought that it may be only my eyes tricking me but when I watched the film repeatedly I realized that when Andromeda says take me to our parents I couldn't help noticing that Bellatrix's eyes widen not only with fury but with astonishment too because she is surprised by Andromeda's daring of being allowed to be taken to her parents........ I dunno that if this is your mistake or you filmed it like this.......

Brilliant documentary! The great amount of detail in this film never fails to amaze me. The character I always resonate with the most is Narcissa. She doesn't get swept up in ideologies, which is something I can relate to. She is calm and collected, like I always tend to be. Despite her being in the dark side, I always saw her as essentially human. She might be cold and proud and selfish at times, but at the end of the day she will always be loyal to those she loves, and sacrifice herself for them. Her short appearances in Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows are, in my opinion, heartbreaking. A woman who has lost everything, alone and frightened, scrambling to protect her husband and son. And the way she is portrayed in SOHB really matches my idea of her. I've always found her incredibly fascinating, and worthy of exploring further. All this to say, great work once again Kelsey! My dreams of a Black sisters fan film came true thanks to you. I send you a million kisses and my endless support!

Bellatrix was hella good tho like damn, cast her as a cannon young Bellatrix someday. i get how most people would get distracted by her eye but honestly it adds onto her madness, and I barely ever notice it. like damn she's just to good as Bellatrix like I NEED MORE AHHHHHH

I truly thought this was brilliant! That little nugget of Bella licking the blood on her wound "pure" was very clever & an excellent nod to where we first meet her in HP. The music box was a fun tidbit. Watching Bellatrix's mental decline made her much more understandable. I'd never have guessed it a low budget film because it was done so well. A movie I found pure rubbish was the one with Voldy & Bella's child... I have nothing nice to say about that one. I had two sisters and we were all totally different so I found their relationships very believable. I somehow missed your movie until today (6/20/22) and I will be sharing the link so my other HP fans can see this! Stay magical.

Sisters Of House Black is truly my favourite fan film ever. The acting, the casting, the script, everything was so spot-on. I saw it many years ago but still keep coming back to it. The way the story moves around with different times in the past and the present is directed so well. And obviously the attention to the detail is marvelous. That being said, my favourite part about the movie is actually the way the characters were portrayed. There's loads of amazing fan films out there with a good story but nailing the characters so perfectly is the best thing about this one. All three of the actors really brought the characters to life and did them justice. The Black sisters have always been one of the most fascinating characters in the HP universe. I love a good symbolism and the way these three portray so many automatically, it draws me in. I love imaging them in different scenarios and in different contexts and how all three of them always make such a perfect distinction is truly satisfying to me. For example: moral alignment, Bella - Chaotic Evil, Andy - Lawful Good, Cissy - True Neutral. Bella chose power, Andy chose love, Cissy chose family. Bella married for her parents approval, Andy married for love, Cissy did both. These are just some basic examples but the best one is how they also embody the tale of three brothers so well too, again, with Bella choosing power like the brother who chose the elder wand, Andy choosing love like the brother who chose the resurrection stone and of course, Narcissa choosing the best of both worlds or the safest option like the invisibility cloak. GOD, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. ISTG THEY'RE MY ROMAN EMPIRE FOR SURE.

I loved the film. The sisters aways were friends. Narcissa and Bellatrix were betrayed when Andromeda left. You did a great job portraying that. Their bond was unbreakable at first, but as time goes on, they grew apart.

I’m disgusted that anyone would tell you your artificial eye will hinder your acting career, I don’t think I have EVER seen another short film that has depicted Bellatrix as good as you... I think you could’ve definitely played a younger Bellatrix if Harry Potter movies included any flashback that included her! Your acting was so good, I fell in love with this story of where the Black sisters come from and WHY they are the way they are... the way Bellatrix’a dad basically corrupts her sanity by taking her memories, If anyone is responsible for driving Bellatrix crazy it is him. His corrupted relationship with Bellatrix basically PUSHED her into a relationship with the Dark Lord that resembled a strong male figure that she gravitated to because of the way she lacked that relationship with her father.. basically “Daddy Issues” haha. You are amazing please keep making more of these short films, I love your story telling and I love the quality of this film. I think it is incredibly professional and looks like Yates directed this film himself. Amazing quality 👌👌👌👌

if you ever do part 2 with Tonks and her childhood can I be in it because 1. I love Harry Potter 2. I love acting and 3. I love Sisers of House Black

MORE PLEASE!!!!!!😃😃 A really fascinating behind the scenes insight! I like all three of the sisters though if I have to pick I'd choose Andromeda as little is known about her in the books. Would a Director's cut be possible with the deleted scences in place for after seeing them some parts of the story made more sense. This story left me thing that if after Voldimort's final down fall and Bella's death weather or not Narcissa and /or Andromeda would try to reach out to each other or would they be beyond reconciling by then?

It’s been a while since the last SOHB SUNDAY! Glad to have it here to entertain us before the end of the year!

As someone who has directed and has a degree in theatre and costuming, I love seeing the thought that goes into costumes, characters, etc. Thank you for bringing us SOHB and showing us the behind the scenes!

I loved this! I love your analysis of all three of the sisters! Personally as a Bellatrix cosplayer I resonated with Bellatrix the most; however I also relate to her ambition in order to achieve; yet I also find Narcissa’s love for her family admirable 😊💜

I would not even say you have the artificial eye. Rather it gave some madness in your face (like the actor who played Colombo and he lost his eye too!) which matches Bellatrix perfectly. Narcissa is so sweet and proud and Andromeda is really well seen as a family rebel. You did incredible job and wish you the best!

Truly interesting. Even while watching the film itself I could admire all the in-depth detail that was put into this. It was truly amazing, such a heartbreaking story and I appreciate all the hard work that was put into making this for millions of Potterheads to cry over.

There was just one thing upsets me. In the film Sirius is 15 as you say but there is at least 13 years between Dora tonks and him. We had to see pregnant or at least runaway dromeda. But everything outside this is just beautiful, good and hard work. Keep going girls! We love it!

This made me so nostalgic :) Such a good in-depth look at the whole process! i am still so grateful for all the other cast, crew, and watchers of SOHB. thank you

I love learning about all the details and background behind scenes and characters. You really put a lot of time, effort, and love into writing this movie Kelsey. I think I’m most like Narcissa, I tend to keep quiet and don’t want to get in the way of what other people are planning.

Bellatrix is so beautiful, and the actress who played her so got used to the role that some moments I thought “omg she really looks like Helena( when she played bellatrix)”

I've already watched the movie more than 10 times . It's just amaizing.

Your performance as bellatrix was probably the best part of the film. You nailed it.

11:33 Is that... Rita Skita?

Please do a part 2 I loved the film soo much. Honestly I've whatched it about ten times since it being out

As just a hp nerd this is so cool but also really insightful for someone who is hoping to write a hp fanfilm of my own

this film is amazing more canon than cursed child loved it

This movie is both amazing and inspiring. Because this movies shows the love that this sisters had for eachother and how their choices change their lives

This video was amazing, the deleted scenes make the film even better, especially the one with Andromeda and Narcissa because Andromeda trusted Narcissa enough to nearly tell her about Ted, and she would've if Bellatrix hadn't cast the Dark Mark right at that moment! I like Andromeda the most but I can also see myself in Narcissa a bit because I value family a lot and I'm not outspoken and confident like Andromeda and Bellatrix!

I can’t believe I am just seeing this now like 5 years later!! I need more of this!

Her acting was so good I didn't even notice she has an artificial eye until she actually said it. I love Bellatrix

The film is amazing! It's incredible how many thoughts you've made yourself about the characters, their stories, and their outfits. Great job.

I love her as bellatrix she encapsulates her so well

I liked hearing what you had to say about each character, and I definitely took away the same 'lessons' from them when watching the film, even if they all had a sort of tragic end. I loved watching Bellatrix the most - bacause Kelsey (it wouldn't have been the same if you didn't play her) and Helena, of course - but I relate to the other sisters most. I think Andromeda and I have the same values and beliefs where love is concerned and doing what's right, but I also share in Narcissa's tendencies to keep a lot of my opinions hidden and think more than I speak, or only take action at the last minute. I can also be quite stuck in my own head. Anyway, I'm going to re-watch the film now ;)

This video explains so many little details that make watching the film that much better!!! The character development for each sister was amazing. You created a masterpiece.

I loved the film so much......It deserves all the praise!!! I loved bellatrix the most though(weird flex)....but just following her story and the seeing the path of madness.... was all so intriguing and there were things in the film i had no idea about!!.....having you play her just made me love the character even more.....cause i loved...loved loved your performance!!!

I loved how you made mad eye look. He is not ruffed up as bad as in the movie's so you can see it develops with him aswell

The movie was incredible. Thank you for doing a behind the scenes. I cannot imagine anyone else playing Bellatrix. Please make more films.

😍 That necklace would be amazing to win! 😍

So basically..... Most of the movie is Narcissa's memories?

Kelsey, Hannah and Abbi all deserve Oscar's for their performances. I hope you make a sequel about their lives after they fell apart. From Cecilia (sorry for my dad's profile.)

this was really really well put together! :D So fun to watch it through and hear everything gone into it! Congrats again guys on the movie

I love this so much. The attention to detail was incredible. 🖤

can we all appreciate how badass this is. she lead the team, acted as an extremly hard to play character and she has an artificial eye and you would think she has been acting like it was breathing to her. you make guys like me who are disabled so so happy coz it shows how capible we are. u are an absolute talent and im so proud and privaleged to be alive to get to see the fruit of all your labours. just well done... simply well done xx

This was...absolute perfection. Too beautiful! I loved to get to hear more from you guys about the film and also loved to get to peek behind the scenes. Thank you so much fro putting such hard work into this. If you have more deleted scenes that you filmed but didn't make it into the final film, I would love to see them all if you one day would like to post the lot of them. I'm blown away! Super well done! The talent you all have.....

I really love the attention to detail from their personalities, outfits and their choices. I really would love it if you can make another film about what happens to them after all this.

This was an amazing film and you played Bellatrix brilliantly.The Black family has aways been so interested to me I aways foudn them to be the Targaryens of the HP especially the Black sisters and brothers(you should relaly make a film about Sirius and Regulus!).I find all of the sisters fascinating but I probably relate more to Andromeda because I also believe that we're all equals,that power isn't everything and when we see that something you don't believe is right is happening you should speak against it. It's also great seeing how they loved each other but as they grew the toxicity and idelogoy of their family broke them apart.It's especially heartbrekaing with Andromeda and Narcissa because they did have quite a lot in common with each other - they both loved their familes and children and were willing to do anything to protect them but ultimately the choices they make drive them apart.I would love if they ended up reconciling because by the end they both suffer and loose so much and are pretty much the only family they have left.Ultimately I think each sister represents something.Bellatrix symbolises what happens when you let power corrupt you,Andromea is about love and humanity/equality and the sacrfises we have to make sometimes in order to preserve them and with Narcissa you see what happens when you don't speak or act against something you know isn't correct because power and prestige is more important to you-utimately her chocie disown her sister and coninue perpetuating blood supremacy leads to the person she loves the most- her son become a Death eater and ending up pretty broken and traumtaised by the end of the war.Great job and I wish you all the best in your next projects!:)

I like all three black sisters 🖤🖤🖤 they’re all different which makes them a great team 💚💚💚

this is honestly beautiful, it has so much meaning. i really hope u continue doing these, tehy're honestly great

I love all three of the sisters because it all of meanings in them!

This is really cool! I loved everything about Sisters of House Black! Really loved the music box too! You all did so damn great

i was planning on just adding it to my watch later when I clicked on SoHB at 5 AM last night, but immediately drew me in and I watched the WHOLE thing. It was so good!! Great job

Congratulations to all of you guys! You indeed created something magical, with a lot of work on it. I loved how you interpreted and portrayed the characters and transmitted a message for everyone. I was always interested in the Black family and this film satisfied my curiosity! Very very well done!!

I have been waiting for this so long ❤️🙌🏽💫 It's so brilliant!!! I love this film and seeing behind the scenes has been incredible, too -- thanx for sharing!!!

I really enjoyed this video. I loved the Sisters of House Black but I loved watching this even more. Great to see how much thought went it making it. Well done guys x

I still come back to the Sisters Of House Black video, it's a great inspiration for writing Harry Potter related things! And as an ex-film student this sort of bts explanation is fantastic. Your work is excellent!

Kia ora, Kelsey. Your explanation helped me get more of the gist of the film, though I could wish it was audio-described. Your dedication to fandom and to your craft is undeniable, and I truly hope that this work has gained you recognition from industry people who aren't bigots. Nga mihi nui, kylee from aotearoa. PS: thank you to Hannah Snow for actually identifying herself, else I wouldn't have known any of the names. K

I didn’t realize how many details you’ve brought in this movie. Now, after this video explanation I understood many of things, especially what your big idea. Thank you for your work done. About Andromeda. She’s brilliant. We didn’t watch her in séries of Harry Potter films or the information from books about her not so much. Rowlling focuses that Andromeda is a lot like Bellatrix and even Harry was confused when he saw her. Your interprétation is perfect!

You should do a Weasley film like how molly and Arthur dealt with their children during the first wizard war and end it with Ginnys Birth. Or Young Draco Malfoy/his childhood before he attendees hogwarts and how his parents raised him.

Andromeda was amazing and I admire choices she made.

I really love the movie and this video! Tbh I would say I see myself in Narzissa ^^

Wow! So good done. You have helped me to know more about the black family! Thank u for the film. XOXO❤

Seeing how complex this production was, I wonder how much it cost to make and who could afford to put up that kind of cash, knowing it was not allowed to make any money. There are several respectable HP fan fiction films here on YT, and whatever the economics might be, I'm glad it worked out. (I think this is the most thoughtful one of them.)

This is amazing honestly these 3 are so interesting. Also I didn't even notice your eye I actually though it was a acting choice you were amzing BRILLIANT! acting choices we need a sequel pls

I was about to re-watch the movie when I saw this in my notifications!!! I'm so excited 😍

I love the sisters of house black honestly the whole black family is interesting to me because we don't have that much info on their past I mean other then Sirius mentioning he ran away and kreature telling us about Regulus death we don't get much of a backstory in the book, also I love that you included the fact that their mother couldn't tell Andromeda apart from bellatrix

As you know Kelsey, I really enjoyed your professional production of the Black Sisters. Something that I didn't understand was what was happening with the Sister's Father? What and why was he erasing Belletrix's memory? Thank you all for these behind the scenes videos. But Kelsey, what we want and look forward to is more of your creativeness. :)

Ironic how the Black family elders wanted to maintain their families pure blood status no matter what, even abusing their own family to achieve that goal. Because of their "pure blood mania" most of the Black family is dead.

I couldn't tell that eye was fake plus I think it looked good

This is amazing and you did an incredible job as Bellatrix

Please make more Films like this U guys did fantastic job 👍 Never felt a fan made movie, so professional

You are an amazing actress, keep up the work, and continue you fighting for those who don't fit the standard because what makes a good actor how well they play and pretend, not there disabilities so you are a hero for all ages.

Also, a great thing you could’ve featured is there childhood, other than when they were teenagers. This will show the progression more clearly.

I enjoyed this I didn’t notice these characters

I love learning about the behind the scenes and how this film was made. Very cool.

I definitely appreciate your hard work for the film

Andromeda. Excellent job with the movie.

Almost 1 year later and this is still my favourite !

You look so much like the real actor, i'm considering watching this show

I wish we could have listen to the entire score, with out any background noises. THis video is awsome. THe film is wonderful, i think all of your hard work paid off

I’ve watched this so many times I love it so much the acting is so good

i think you did an amazing job playing the role of Bellatrix!

You are the best Bellatrix .And this thing with your eye is really cool it makes you different

I think in a way I resonated with all 3 sisters at one time or another in my life understandable I love my family I mean who doesn't love their family or wanna seek their approval or unconditional love cuz of that at times I was like Bellatrix turning a blind eye blind love I also felt like Narcissa in the middle wanting to meditate for peace cuz I love them but I feel more like Andromeda now no matter how much I love my family always I'd rather follow my morals my heart and I know I've made mistakes but I hope they forgive me and I'll always love and forgive them too cuz I don't believe that they really were trying to upset me or each other and I know my mistakes were wrong and my mistakes weren't intended to hurt any other them either. Deep down it wasn't just blind love I got too invested in trying to make them all happy that I did stupid things that were wrong cuz of it but in the end I chose to leave not through abandoned them but for myself and for them. Also I think we all relate with these 3 sisters at times in life sometimes but we're all strong people and we'll get through anything we set our minds to. We care we forgive and we stand up for what's right and in a way my family inspired me to do that cuz at times they did that. They're beautiful in They're own way and they're human

i have always wanted like just something about the sisters thanks to you it happened thanks for making an amazing movie on the the sisters of the black house

I love this film, I asked my friends bout their opinion, and they also love it! Love from Indonesia!

I resonate with Narcissa the most, as she is strategical, quiet but powerful, and loyal. Like me! I also think she'd be a Neutral Evil, like me too :)

you all did an amazing job of the girls and Kelsey you did Brilliant doing Bella i mean she reminds me of Helena

I never even noticed your eye. I was two blown away by your performance! I never wanted it to end. I have cerebral palsy and my eyes flicker because of it.

That’s so powerful keep it up

Bellatrix all the way...she kinda echoes my experiences...good stuff as usual
