Hello Auror’s Tale Fans,
We hope you are all having a wonderful year!
As many of you have pointed out, there are are a minefield of copyright issues when working with any pre existing series or world, especially something as successful as Harry Potter. We have encountered some of these issues, and will be reshaping our project in a variety of ways.
Most notably, we have been requested that the total runtime of Auror’s Tale be less than 80 minutes long. Therefore, we will be shortening our story arc to 6-7 episodes. This means recutting, reediting, and in some instances even reshooting the episodes of Act I that we have completed so far in order to adjust for pacing and plot changes.
At this point, we plan on finishing at least 75% of the entire series before releasing. This will make everything run smoothly once episode 1 airs. Though this is not the original plan, we know you will not want to wait for months in between episodes— it’s that good!
Many of you have asked about Auror’s Tale memorabilia. While we will be distributing all the prizes promised to Kickstarter funders, no additional Auror’s Tale materials will be made available. This goes for shirts, badges, DVDs, and any other items unique to Auror’s Tale or with our logo. The show will, of course, always be free to view on YouTube.
These are some of the conditions that we have been given so that Auror’s Tale can move forward. We apologize for the further delays that this will cause.
As we have stated before, no one on Auror’s Tale works for profit. We all volunteer to do what we do because we love film, we love Harry Potter, and we love you, our fans. We are currently planning to film the remainder of the series in June. Between now and then, we will be brining you a taste of what it’s like on the production scene.
Keep updated with our Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr, and thank you for your undying support and understanding.

I think there’s a misunderstanding here, OP! Auror’s Tale is not for profit, and no one on the project is paid. The money raised on Kickstarter is used for things such as camera rentals, cosfuming, location rental fees, etc. If anything, our team is sacrificing money they could be making from other projects when they come work on Auror’s Tale!

Auror’s Tale is still in production and will indeed be released. As noted in late December, we changed our release date to 2013. We plan to be filming more this summer!

Anyone interested in acting on Auror’s Tale may send a headshot, resume, and reel if you have one to aurorstale@gmail.com with the subject line “ATTN: Casting Director”. However, we do request that you live in NYC as you must be able to make it to set if chosen as an extra or any other role.

Backer prizes will be out when Act I is complete! We cannot send out the DVDs/Blurays before the content is filmed and edited, so we must do that first.

As Auror’s Tale is a fan series, it will only be available online.

Did you know about this detail from the Harry Potter set design?
Piecing together a set is always inspiring and magical. We have had a lot of fun incorporating moving paintings and pictures!
