Regulus Black & Barty Crouch jr | BROKEN CROWN [Death Eaters CMV]
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- This video shows the stories of Regulus Black and Barty Crouch Jr. Their depiction is based on the information you can find in the Harry Potter books.
WARNING
This is a story about characters idolizing death eater ideology, following their propaganda, and committing terrible crimes. It contains implications of fictional violence (torture and murder) as well as some major character death.
________________________________________________
This project has been a dream of mine for 6 years. Ever since we started playing these two at a LARP we wanted to explore more than just their Hogwarts years and - more importantly - what happened to them outside the walls of Hogwarts. Most of it is pretty much headcanon inspired by the few information you can find in the books.
Regulus and Barty are rather tragic. I love how they start at completely different points: the Black family endorsing blood purity and sympathizing with Death Eater ideology while the Crouchs - or rather Barty Crouch snr. - speak strongly against it. And then these two boys meet at Hogwarts, become friends, but eventually fall apart and go into completely opposite directions. Regulus actively trying to destroy Voldemort while Barty is responsible for bringing him back. O, the tragedy!
In the end, this was a rather ambitious project and it means so much to me. A massive thank you to each and every one who helped me out with this video, who let me use their home as a location, listened to my brainstorming, got in costume when it was like 37°C, operated a camera despite having never done this before, bringing along costumes and props, and trusting me enough to even participate without knowing what would await them (or knowing me, really). I am looking at you Bellatrix and Sirius. You rock!
Seriously, this video would have NEVER EVER been possible without all of you. So, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
- Sweeney

Feedback is always appreciated.
Haha I might be late, but I'm contemplating of making some Q&A about this video. Do you have any questions? Would anyone be interested? Also a huge thanks to all the lovely feedback so far. It is really appreciated. Definitely let me know your fav scenes/characters :D
Sweeney Lestrange CMV yes, please. I’ve only just found you because of the mischief managers, but I’d love to get to know more about your cosplays and the background of this cmv. It’s sooooo good!
Yes, we want to know
Yes! Btw, are you all planning on making more CMV's in the future (doesn't matter which fandom, just any) I really love this CMV and I can't wait to see more of your content! :)
Please, please do it, I really want to know how you guys choose those specific characters, how you came up with this amazing CMV
Yes please, I would definitely be interested to know about such talented people! Fav scene is really hard to pick... I think it's when Barty's smile drops as he's drinking with his parents... or maybe when Reg peeps at Sirius, then realizes the old times are no more... >_<
If you do a Q&A, could you please tell us how you guys managed to film this, what with the restrictions and everything (assuming this was shot in 2020)?
Love the idea of Regulus and Barty being friends, makes sense considering they are about the same age and attended Hogwarts at the same time
I feel so honored that you asked me to be a part of this. The result is so incredibly beautiful! Good job!
I'm just so honoured you were part of this project, thank you so much!
Okay after I watched the cmv several times since I found it yesterday I wanna comment on some things I absolutely adore:
0:51: Regulus watching the Marauders. Both Sirius and Regulus grew up in this abusive household and Sirius found people who loved him and helped him during that time. Regulus did not had this people- maybe he wanted his brother back. People who finally actually care for him without judging. A chosen family.
1:02 : The letter from his father representing all the pressure which is put on him. “Nonsense like Quidditch” He is not supposed to have fun if it’s not for the name of his family, for the glory.
And then the scenes with regulus started and it’s the first time both of them looked happy. Like they’re able to be children for once and forget about the war their family’s are fighting.
1:39: The change from the family tree of the blacks to the marauders. Regulus still remains alone in the Blacks household with the burden of the family and you can see the complete different expression in Sirius’ and Regulus’ eyes. That makes me so sad
And then also the following scene with Barty Crouch Jr. that he just can’t be good enough, his father rejecting his excellent Examen..
2:14 just the smile in regulus face while collecting all the informations of Voldemort
2:47 When he finally burned the letter of his father. I think it’s a great way of showing why the dark lord and the deatheaters were so dangerous and powerful. It’s the first time Barty felt the power of the deatheaters collective to ‘equalize’ his own ‘failure’. His father couldn’t give him any other emotions than being a disappointment but now he has a purpose and someone who accepts him.
3:04 On the one hand Barty with a smile on his face and on the other hand Regulus crying and screaming about the dark mal .
And the following scenes are presenting these differences so well! I’m honestly crying over Regulus being so emotionally destroyed in 3:25. You can see it’s not what he wanted. He never did. And then he opened up his eyes again an started looking for an solution while Barty enjoys the power given by the dark lord. Finally he can be the Oppressor and not the person being oppressed.
3:55 But I also adore the face Barty makes while celebrating right before he is about to drink. That brief moment of doubt
4:14 and finally the change of Barty being in Azkaban to Regulus being dead just broke me. The empty eyes of Regulus...
It’s all my interpretation but I’m so thankful for the work you put into this cmv. You did such an amazing job Portraying two often overlooked characters and showing their development and the effects of the dark lords ideology.
I hope I can see more fantastic work of you in the future!
Thanks for sharing this!
Omg I can't tell you how happy your comment makes me and how much I appreciate all the effort you put into it. Seriously, please don't apologise that it got so long. (haha the longer the better!)
We included so many details in this CMV, so it's just so nice to see them being pointed out and hear thoughts and interpetations.
There's things that I love so much about this like you saying "they’re able to be children for once and forget about the war their family’s are fighting"
I think this is so important and goes universally for characters which is why I really wanted to show them as teens being silly and having fun. I didn't want to reduce them to one or two events and just pure angst and evil "death eater-ness".
But honestly I just wanna underline every sentence and say yes, thank you! It makes me so happy that most of my/our intentions came across and it is so interesting to see what you're adding to this :D
For instance, I love the way you interpreted 03:55 with Barty having a moment of doubt. Technically the celebration was supposed to be everybody's celebrating Voldemort's downfall but we haven't really done a good job on bringing this across and you know it could very well be Barty being kinda doubting or hesitant about what he is going to do to the Longbottoms. I love it! :D
Haha, ja, meine Freunde und ich kommen alle aus Deutschland xD Na ja, ich hab mal auf Englisch geantwortet, falls jemand die comment section stalked. Aber auch hier noch einmal: Vielen vielen Dank für deine Mühe und die lieben Worte. Ich werde die direkt mal an die anderen weiterleiten :D Und ich möchte auf jeden Fall weitere Videos machen, aber wahrscheinlich werden die etwas weniger ehrgeizig/umfangreich xD
In dem Sinne danke noch einmal und viele Grüße,
Sweeney
@@timetrappictures oh mein gott, du bist deutsch? Falls du wieder mal ein Projekt am Start hast, will ich bitte mitmachen!! Seriously, keiner meiner Freunde ist HP Fan und würde so etwas mit mir machen, aber es wäre sooo cool da dabei zu sein
This is incredible! Your cosplays are always on point but the way you guys tell this story of their friendship and struggle to fit in is powerful. This is why people turn to things like gangs, for a sense of community and belonging. Seeing them in this light really provides a lot more insight into these characters. That’s always my favorite part of fanfiction, really being able to explore a villain. Everyone believes themselves to be the hero of their own narrative. Incredible work.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love how you just went all in-depth and put the theme of the video really well into words. There is just so much to these characters and I feel like it is important and definitely fascinating to explore what drives them, breaks them, and defines them. And it's a lot of fun as well from a creative perspective
This was such a creative CMV with some great cinematography and settings! We also really loved the way you portrayed the characters and their feelings, as well as the dynamics between them all! Well done! We hope there will be more like this in the future! :)
Ah thank you so much for your nice words. I really admire your cmvs so having a comment from you means a lot! I'm so happy to hear you like how the characters and the feelings were portrayed. This was really important to me. Ah and thank, I hope I can make some more videos in the not so distant future xD
This cmv has turned out really good. As Regulus is my favourite character, I loved how you portrayed his and Bartys character development and their friendship and their motivation to join the Death Eaters. Also the cinematography and the shots were really nice and supporting to the atmosphere. You've all done an awesome job. I would love to see more of this in the future.
Aw thank you. I hope you know that your opinion on this means a lot, considering Regulus is your favourite character and you're doing a brilliant job portraying him yourself!
Yeah, I really hope I can get to make more of these CMVs, also because there is yet a lot to explore about these characters.
SO UNDERRATED! The cinematography is so beautiful! And I love how perfectly the song goes with the well-written storyline! You really portrayed Regulus and Crouch better than the movies, they barely touched the subject. A lot of cosplayers don't bother with Regulus or crouch, it's refreshing to see something new! 2:46 , can we please talk about the unbelievably professional and amazing editing? AND THE ANGST AGH THE ANGST! I'm in awe! You guys deserve more love! Absolutely amazing!
woah thank you so much for taking the time and leaving this lovely feedback! This makes me really happy. especially seeing that the story seems to have come across understandably :D (And yeah these characters are kinda the epitome of angst i guess, haha). And it's so nice and interesting to see appreciation for specific shots/edits. So yeah thanks a lot ♡
Fantastisch! Das CMV ist so gut geworden! Die Locations und Kostüme waren so gut aufeinander abgestimmt und die Farbsprache und Cinematography waren super schön! Am Anfang erst die warmen Töne, bis es zum Ende hin immer dunkler und trüber wurde! Ihr habt das Wachsen und Brechen der Freundschaft und auch das Ringen mit den verschiedenen Gefühlen so perfekt dargestellt! Vor allem zum Ende hin durch die schnellen Cuts und Szenenwechsel zwischen Regulus und Bartys Charakterentscheidungen, hat man sich als Zuschauer auch erdrückt gefühlt, was die Atmosphäre nur noch besser unterstrichen und die Gefühle der Charakter noch besser zum Ausdruck gebracht hat! Wir sind super gespannt auf mehr! ♥️
Ich hoffe, ihr wisst, dass euer Kommentar ein totaler "Senpai Noticed Me-Moment" ist.
Vielen, vielen lieben Dank für dieses ausführliche Feedback und die eigtl schon halbe Analyse. Ich freue mich total zu hören, dass die Gefühle der Charaktere gut rübergekommen sind und das visuell funktioniert hat :D Das ist immer super spannend zu hören. Vielen Dank ♥️
I love how this turned out
It was great having you on this project!
You will get a proper comment when I'm done with rewatching this masterpiece. I'm so proud of you. You put so much effort and work in these few minutes and I adore every second of them.
Aw man I'm still so hyped, I really love the atmosphere and little details in this CMV
They were just children
you put so much work into this (and the character) and it turned out sooo well. i am so proud of you !!
Their acting is so good! Especially the one doing Barty Crouch jr
The Misschief Managers featured your video and I'm so glad they did, else I wouldn't have found this AMAZING PIECE OF ART! So well done and moving and chilling. Truly well done.
aaah thank you so much for letting know. I was so confused where all the lovely comments suddenly came from today. And thanks so much for your kind words!
I'm not crying you are 😭
Btw amazing video! Great atmosphere, the song is so spot-on 😍
And you played the characters brilliantly 💯
Thank you so much for your feedback, that means a lot
This is incredible! Absolutely blown away by the cinematography and acting! 👏💖
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this comment. It makes me really happy to hear you liked the cinematography and especially the acting ♡ thank you!
holy shit!! holy sh i t !!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE! This is so well shot and its beautifully edited too, i never put much thought into these characters but by god did you do this well
This is so good!
I love seeing stories between Regulus and Barty and this is my favorite of them 😍
holy shit, thank you so much for your kind words! I really, really wish there were more stories about these two.
That was so amazing, Regulus is one of my favorite characters and i loved the way you showed his story ♡♡♡ 😍😢😢
This makes me so happy to hear! Regulus seems so underappreciated and I'm so happy that you liked the way we showed his story in the video - especially when he's one of your favourite characters. Thanks a lot for the comment ♡
The amount of work required to depict this storyline the way you did is incredible! This gets much less recognition than it deserves, simply amazing ✨
This CMV is so good. I don´t know what to say it´s just so so beautiful
Great work! Amazing shots 👌
Okay... I am still reeling from the sheer brilliance you've depicted here in under five minutes. The cinematography is gorgeous, the cosplays were on point and the plot and development made my erstwhile impenetrable bitchface crack into pieces... I love these two characters and the parallels drawn between them honestly made me tear up.
Great, great work. I believe I'm your 501st subscriber; I expect to see many, many more! Much love
Thank you so much for your feedback
”...there was a way out for him.”
Such heartbreaking bitterness in that single phrase between beautifully designed cuts. I literally had to stop the video for a minute right there just to take it all in, the emotion, all the tiny little gestures and details. This is such an amazingly high quality CMV in every way, from set design to acting and cinematography. And the attention to detail in adapting the lyrics to an original storyline! Wow, just wow.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this amazing feedback! It makes me really happy to see people noticing the small details and pointing them out. Thank you :D
This might actually be one of my favorite cmv’s of all time
I cant believe I just found this! This is so good! It gave me chills. I'm so in awe at everyone's talent and pure skill! Thank you for this master peice. Now if you excuse me I'm going to watch this about 6 dozen more times.
I never thought I would cry because of these two but here I am.
Excellent music choice and packs a really rich story convincingly in such a small format! Really well done! :D
I have no words, this was incredible!!😱😍
This is absolutely stunning! WOW.
Now it let's me comment. I want to just say this is truly fantastic! You can tell how hard you guys work and the love and dedication that went into this. Y'all need to be proud of this, it's amazing! Please tell me there will be more?!?!?!
Thanks for taking the time to comment here as well! ♡ And it's really nice to see that the details and everything are noticeable. I definitely wanna create some more of these videos. It's just a matter if time and organising now.
Ahhh you broke my heard ... this is soo wonderfull ...
That was absolutely awe inspiring 🖤 The cinematography, the acting, the scenes, the color palette.. absolutely every part of this gave me chills. Riveted from beginning to end, Bravo.
Wow such an incredible piece of work! I even teared up at the end)
I keep coming back to this video because it´s just so amazing!
Great work!!

THISSSS is amazing!
-just sobbing into tissues;
This was amazing! Oh my god! This gave me goosebumps and angsty feelings! This was so so good! I love it!
Also the "I'll never be your chosen one" 😭
This is so good, it hurts!
I love this characters and your cosplays are rly good! This Story is incredible, the music fits perfect- i'm cryin'.
Thank you for this masterpiece.
Its perfect, love it.
This is amazing!!! 🤩🤩🤩 You can see how much you put so much passion and time in this. It definitely shows!!!
This was so, so amazing, people usually forgets about the other side of the story, about characthers like Regulus who never had their redemption acknowledged or Barty himself who ended up seeking for love and recognition somewhere else, and they were so, so young and I wonder what could have been like if the Wizardworld had a different system from Azkabam, one who could re-educate people to go back to society... Anyway, I loved it and I know that I will watch it again and again and again in the future.
Thank you so much your awesome comment! I love your thoughts and totally agree that both characters have some redeeming qualities (Regulus definitely more so than Barty though) and it's actually kinda interesting to think about what might have been if they'd gotten a 2nd chance.
@@timetrappictures Yeah, like, if the wizard society don't do anything to re-educate people, not only prisoners, but like, kids, the older generation with their outdated beliefs... History repeats itself, Draco was raised the same way Regulus was, in a pureblood family, with the stigma of a slytherin, and he ended up between a rock and a hard place, just like him. But, about the video, re-watching it again just made me fall more for the details, and I want to say that the acting was so, so good! I really hope you guys make a Q&A in the future, and I look forward for more of your work ♡
@@beatrizribeiro8027 Thanks again for all your thoughts! I really agree wih you there when it comes to the wizard society and how poorly they handle prison and neglect reeducation!
And thank you! We are already planning the QA, we just need to find some spare time to squeeze it in. But I'm optimistic :)
Again thanks a lot for your comments, they mean a lot!
This is amazing! You've done such beautiful work here. I love the parallel stories expressed and how they end up going down such different routes. I've been watching this every day since I've found it and it never gets old. Always love to to see some Regulus love. Thank you!
This is incredible!
Holy hell!!!! I just watched saw your cmv on the mischief managers. And I loved this one soooo much. The idea is sooo new, and the parallel is so well portrayed. Loved everything about it !!!!!
This is amazing! It’s very good storytelling, intense, and well acted! So much more.
wow this is so good
magnificent homage
I have watched this many times over the last several months and it continues to be my favorite thing ever! I've made all of my family and friends watch it too and they all love it. THANK YOU for telling these stories and making such incredible art.
Thank you very much, this is a massive compliment and really means a lot. Just hearing that someone's enjoying the story and even shares it around is a very big deal, thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment!
love Regulus Arcturus Black and amazing job please do more
