Timestamps of the featured changes in the pinned comment below.

The New Engine/Editor will keep your game's language.

Timestamps of the changes:
Entry Hall Hub
00:08 - This secret area is now accessible at this stage in the story (some of you may not know, but the original game disabled this secret area because of the cutscene with Ron)
00:22 - A replacement cutscene was added in case the player decides to go down from the secret area at 00:08
Grand Staircase Hub
02:10 - Ron's shadow no longer persists during the cutscene
Tom Riddle's Memory
02:57 - The chest now has a sepia texture
03:32 - New sequence added
Entry Hall Hub
04:05 - This section of the story takes place at nighttime. Indoor nighttime lighting in action.
04:31 - Basilisk's eye vision has been changed from purple to yellow (thought it made more sense)
Grand Staircase Hub
06:05 - Exclusively at this stage, the Library is accessible at night
Library Night
06:08 - Nighttime Library. This is a confined version of the daytime map that serves no purpose other than story continuity. No secret areas, and the existing chests and knights are synchronized with the daytime map. Didn't really wanna include it, but here it is. I like the nighttime lighting, though.
07:40 - Hermione and her only bump line that fit the context
Entry Hall Hub
10:02 - The fake background shows the nighttime grounds
Grounds Night
10:54 - This line was merged to fix an incoherence which exists only in non-English versions. Thus, no difference for the English version.

The addition of the nighttime library map was a nice touch. Though, just to match the HP1 vibes of the map, you could've added the corresponding portcullis textures for the large and small archways. I know the large ones weren't included in the original HP2, but the reference would be very nostalgic-for the Sneak section fan that I am.

3:32 that cutscene gave me the chills

[@International_Law]

I didn't know about night library 😅 I have been here only by debug
Great job 👍

[@MagnetismR]

Fantastic work overall. I've just been enjoying watching the showcase of differences. So much love and care went into this mod and I'd never imagine I'd see anything like it. The extended cutscenes, attention to detail... I mean, the fact that you can actually find Hermione in this library, a tiny segment of players that would ever think to do so at this point!

The Peeves and Aragog fights should be harder. Could it be done so that Peeves could throw firecrackers (like Malfoy in HP1 or imps in HP3) and instead of skurge him, Harry would have to throw a firecracker at him? I have no idea how to make the fight with Aragog more difficult.

QUESTION: I have already downloaded and installed the Windows 10 fix version of this game. If I were to download this mod, would I just have to copy-paste and replace the files of the game like I did when downloading the Windows 10 fix?

[@divingdeep39]

No, you first need to install a fresh copy of the game (no patches, cracks, etc.), then install the new M212 Engine/Editor from the link in the video description, and lastly you apply the HP2 Extended Mod files. This mod will not run on the base game alone. You can find step-by-step instructions in the pdf document within the Google Drive.

10:44 bug: offset smoke

[@divingdeep39]

that's intended, it should emulate the wind

[@Wasmachineman]

@@divingdeep39 Shouldn't the smoke emitter be IN the stack then, and bow slightly outward at the top?

[@graygarrison2692]

Literally bugs because of eww more Spiders Arachnids 8 legged 8 eyed Demons!@@divingdeep39
