Oh lord, it is finally happening. After many promises and failed attempts to get a SINGLE COPY of this massive musical, I have discovered a method wherein we can do a liveblog of A Very Potter Musical. And so, we shall do it.
Welcome, my fellow StarKid and Harry Potter fans. I feel as though I’ve already seen half of this musical through the sheer force of the GIF-age alone, so it’s now time for me to TRULY watch it.
This liveblog will take place on SUNDAY, JANUARY 16, AT 11:OOAM PST. In order to sync up our viewing experience, PLEASE USE THIS WORLD CLOCK TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME TIME.
Since this is not on a DVD or single viewing source, below you will find our viewing schedule for each part of this musical, located on YouTube. We will watch each part and then have TWO minutes in between parts, so that ads/videos can load and you can take a pee break if necessary. We will have a 15 minute intermission between Acts I and II. This way, at any given time, you will know EXACTLY what video we are watching if you have to join in later.
If you have the time to do the entire thing, please not that due to the breaks/pauses between videos, this will take us over three and a half hours to accomplish. And yes, we will do A Very Potter Sequel soon as well.
Sound good? You are welcome to test out the links below to make sure they are correct. I cannot wait to give this a shot!
Please, if you can, send this out to people on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc. I know a lot of people from my MRHP days wanted me to do this and I couldn’t find the time or method to do it. It’ll be an awesome reunion of sorts, YES?????

This is going to be totally awesome!
Snacks? Check.

Time schedule? Check.
Empty bladder? Doublecheck.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE READY.
I'm ready! I was thinking wether I should wacth AVPM or do my Economy homework…I think I made the right decision.
Oh my gosh, only five minutes guys!
How do you get continuous comment updates without refreshing?
Press the 'Last Activity' button besides where it says 'Comments (187)'. It gives the options to view by Date, Rating or Last Activity, and the last one gives you the most recent updates =].
Thanks 🙂
Yeah, but there's no way to make the page keep refreshing the Last Activity. Even if you use Firefox's auto-reload feature, it will default back to sorting by Date. :-{
Is there a way to keep it at last activity? Because whenever I refresh it puts it back to sort by date.
Just press the Last Activity button again rather than refreshing; it "refreshes" the comments but doesn't reset the page.
Nope.
Just keep pressing 'last activity' don't refresh at all
5 minutes to go!!!!
I haven't seen this musical in too long. 😀 *jumps up and down*
I made it!! We are starting so soon!!!
O hai flatmate of mine in room next door, plz turn down your obnoxiously loud R&B music so I can actually hear the forthcoming song-based entertainment production about adolescent wizards, kthnx >.>
I was just talking to my sister, remembered that the liveblogging was about to begin, and bolted away mid-sentence without explanation. Then I did a faceplant on the way up the stairs. I am SO smooth.
I'm getting kind of scared that Mark is going to be disappointed, what with us being so ridiculously giddy about it.
But then I remember IT'S HARRY FREAKING POTTER, and therefore automatically awesome.
I got my cup of tea. I got my vegan cookies. I got my GIFs uploading. I got my headphones. This may be my first Liveblog, but I'm damn well gonna do it right.
I AM MORE EXCITE THAN LIFE.
So excited! I was singing the first song while I rapidly showered so as not to miss anything!
yay I'm excited. I have a download of it but I'll watch it on youtube so I have the time right o/
HOW DO WE POST GIFS? I MUST KNOW!

So what's the story behind this? They performed it in front of a live audience in a real theatre somewhere?
in Ann Arbor Michigan, they're all univeristy of Michigan students who are part of an acting group called Starkid
I went to UMich for grad school! GO ANN ARBOR!
Yes. They're a theater troop at a university in Michigan. There's a sequel too.
Yeah, it was a college performance and the University of Michigan.
At their college, if I remember correctly, they made the whole show for fun. One of the writers is a huge HP fan, got the whole thing started and th rest just came along.
University of Michigan.
Directed, written, and acted all by students.
None of them ever thought it would be as popular as it is.
It was a production at U of Michigan. Half the songs were written in the two weeks before the show I think… They had no clue when they put it online that it would go viral. XD
They were theater students at the University of Michigan. They put the show on for fun, put it up on youtube so their friends could see it. It became a hit.
Yeah, correct me if I am wrong but they wrote and performed it for their college up in Michigan back in like 09? I dont know. It probably says on teamstarkids' website
I know plenty have already answered, but yeah, they wrote and performed this in Spring 09 at the University of Michigan for this thing called Basement Arts. Its super cool and free theatre. So they performed it for the students and then posted it online for their family who didn't get to see it.
Most starkids have graduated, but a few (Joey Richter, Devin Lytle, Sango, Brian Rosenthal) are still here.
I love Basement Arts! I saw so many Basement Arts shows! That's totally awesome.
I know! It is so great. And they have amazing shows!
Harry is a such a douche lmao
THAT WOULD BE COOL IF YOU WERE ACTUALLY HOT
Wow, my impatience will kill me. Must. Wait. For. 2. Minutes
Bitch, I ain't Cho Chang!
Oh god I'm so impatient now!
