As promised (though much later than I intended), we are going to host an epic, nearly-four-hour-long liveblog to tackle Team Starkid’s A Very Potter Sequel musical. This is in celebration of the final Harry Potter movie being released next week, and because I have put this off too long. Grab your potato babies, your best singing voice, and join the Starkid party!
FINALLY I GET TO DO THIS.
Let’s try to break the comment record of Mark Watches AVPM, shall we?
We’re going to use the same format as last time. There will be a 2-3 gap in between when we start the next part of each video to accommodate people with slower Internet connections who have to load a YouTube video. There will also be a 15 minute intermission between Acts I & II for bathroom breaks and reloading your bowl of potato babies, the official Mark Does Stuff snack of the gods. Use the schedule below to time when to start each section, or to join in later if you can’t make it when it start.
This liveblog will begin on July 10, 2011 at 9:00am PDT. This is going to be very long and I have ~things to do~ in the afternoon, so I don’t want it to run super late. Please consult a world clock to determine what time this will be for you.
All right, let’s get on to the schedule! All times are PDT below.

"I'm something called a douchebag."
I bought red vines for the occasion. They're my breakfast.
In the muggle world I'm just—I'm something called a douchebag.
Red vines… They can cure your fatigue
"I'm something called a douchebag"
A DOUCHEBAG
The use of "douchebag" here confuses me *so much*. Doesn't that mean "bad or mean person"? Shouldn't he be a "geek", "dumbass", or some other word that means "dumb and uncool"?
Confused ESL speaker is confused…
As an ESL speaker and teacher, I can tell you that I have no idea. Maybe he's referring to how other people in the Muggle world see him, influenced by Dudley? look I don't know, but it's so funny
It means an kind of arrogant/self centered person who doesn't treat others very well or think about their feelings – basically how AVPM's Harry comes across to the audiance.
Weird covers of Disney songs! Oh. Darren.
So self aware, Harry.
COVERS OF DISNEY SONGS
GOD I LOVE HIM
"I make weird covers of Disney songs…who does that?"
"I'm like…Jesse McCartney…I'm Jesse McCartney's douche."
I quote this all the time and no one ever gets it.
Don't worry, Harry, you'll grown into an even bigger douchebag later!
THE PRINCE DOUCHE.
"I'm like Shia La-boof. The prince douche"
I make wierd covers of disney songs who does that?
Or cool, like Snape…
*exploratory-boob-poke*
Oh good, I thought I was seeing things.
"I'm like Shia LeBouf. The Prince Douche."
Like Shia LaBeouf
You are smart like Hermione. *cries*
OR COOL LIKE SNAPE
WE'RE DEAD AS SHIT, WE'RE DEAD!
I REGRET NOTHING!
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU BOTH!
I was wondering what they said at that point.
God, the costume! THE COSTUME!
FIRENZE!!!!
Who designed these costumes? They're a genius.
YOURE SO SOFT
OH MY GOD. FIRENZE
OH MY GOD, I FORGOT ABOUT FIRENZE.
IM IN LOVE WITH YOU BOTH
I WANT THAT CENTAUR COSTUME!
hahahahaha oh my god the centaurs. omg is that firenze.
"Personally, I would love to have a friend who could do my ancient runes essay." "Really?" "Yeah, 'cause it's sure tomorrow."
THOSE TROUSERS
i want to cover my eyes
but i know i would peek
CENTAURS!! Just when this couldn't get any better.
Favorite costume ever. Best Jim Povolo character ever. 😀
FIRENZE FIRENZE FIRENZE <3
OEBFOAWBGBAW'OG
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!
Firenze is legitimately my favorite thing in this entire musical. THE COSTUME IS PERFECT. Also, Jim Pavolo should get bigger parts in ALL THE THINGS.
Now I want a picuture of Jesse McCartney and Shia LaBouf together.
Also, Snape wasn't there for Ron to out his arm around. Tragedy.
OMG why does Ron love Snape so much? This is such a HILARIOUS MYSTERY
Holy shit legit as fuck.
Amazingest AVPS creative-costuming in three…two…one…
"For you are des-tined for great things…"
*Ron pets back*
*orgasm face*
But none have survived…
THAT WIG
THAT COSTUME
IS RON STROKING HIM
FIRENZE. XD
And this is the point in the show when my eyes filled with tears and I couldn't see the rest of the scene.
Am I the only one who finds him deeeply disturbing? D:
I'm not in the same tune as Starkid here, most of their humor in AVPS gets a Do Not Want from me XD
Anyone else thinking Equus?
Hermione knows everything.
*stroooooooooke*
WHAT
AKSJDFOASNVIUE BSAVUISV
WHATS COITUS
The centaur/human "none have survived" thing is pretty creepy, actually.
Also, "censhaur"?
Yeah…esp. as he's staring at Hermione…
THIS. Absolutely D:
Yes, it sounds like a funny problem, but it's actually not.
Okay n/m now disturbing.
Thanks Firenze. You're so cool.
Haha I sure am.
It sounds like a funny problem to have, but it's really not.
This is the best 'noble magical creature' parody EVER.
Jim gets like the best characters and lines… They must really love him at Starkid.
Rita's making me a hankering for some cateye glasses.
I love how Rita Skeeter is here to report for what is basically a high school sporting event
I have to leave, I'm gonna miss the sest! *sadface forever*
YESSSSS. MORE RITA SKEETER.
"YOU THERE. NERD."
ILU RITA.
THAT QUIDDITCH SONG <3
~Bloodlust~
Hahaha. Lupin ate a deer.
I love how Quidditch at Hogwarts is called pee-wee Quidditch.
Ah…well….ah…well!
……….OH HI.
OH GOD WHO'D I KILL!?!?!?
I love the defensive way Neville holds the broom.
Incidentally, I just taught myself how to say "My trousers are on fire" in Gaelic
This has nothing to do with AVPS
I just had a sudden outburst of Irishness in the face of Cockney Seamus
what is wrong with me
BROLDEN! So much love
Oh crap. I kinda like skipped a part. Sorry.
THAT'S BAMBI'S MOM.
Lupin is pretty cute in those tighty whiteys. 😉
That's Bambi's mom.
The power and ferocity… of a doe
Specifically, Bambi's mom.
that's bambi's mom
That's Bambi's mom.
Yes, making the child cry over Bambi's mom looks much better in front of the reporter.
I love this part so much
THATS BAMBIS MOM
I love the fact that we are here watching Remus Lupin force feeding Neville Longbottom the raw remains of a slaughtered doe…and it makes sense. Bless this show.
The power and FEROCITY – of a doe…
JUST EAT THE DOE, SCHLONGBOTTOM.
I thought Lupin did graduate…
THAT'S BULLSHIT! I mean… those are half-truths.
I couldn't find a plastic doe to take to our last Quidditch game. I felt like I failed at life. 🙁
THOSE ARE HALF TRUTHS
REMUS! Don't be mean to Neville 🙁
"That's bullshit! I mean, those are half-truths." <- another favourite line.
"My actions led directly to the death of the only thing I ever loved…"
"I bet this is at least twice as funny as that!"
Snape got the body shot too. Of course he did.
Was I the only one expecting Snape to come along and see the dead doe?.
Tragic or hilarious? Possibly both?
Most likely both. Joe Moses can make anything funny.
I cried the first time I saw this. Seriously cried.
"My actions lead to the death of the only thing I've even loved…"
"I bet this is twice as funny as that!"
IS A WOMAN
AAAAAAHH
"It's like that time I made out with Professor Grumbly-Plank….she got…/clingy/."
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
aaaaaaaah
I love that Dumbledore wants relationship advice from Snape. XD
