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.

Whew!!! See you all on Sunday!!
A Razor? Haven't seen one of those in awhile.
It's like that one time I made up with Professor Grubblyplank! She got…clingy.
Also, I feel I must mention that the buddy dynamic between Dumbledore and Snape is awesome
"Did you get my text?"
Now you drag ME into this!?
HOW DOES HE HAVE A CELLPHONE
Now you've dragged me into this?
colon right parenthesis
Now you've dragged me into this?
NOW YOU'VE DRAGGED ME INTO THIS???
Did you get my text? Well you didn't text me back.
DID YOU GET MAH TEXT?
Did you get my text?
Didja get my text? Well you didn't text me back!
Did you get my text? <3
Did u get my text
Did you get my text?
Well, you didn't text me back.
"Did you get my text?"
"Yes"
"Well you didn't text me back."
HAHAHAHAHA TEXTING UMBRIDGE. YOU DIDN'T TEXT ME BACK
It's like the Lost liveblogs at Ack Attack: *insert an entire page of people going "Did you get mah text? Well, you didn't text me back."* XD
I LOVE YOU
Dumbledore's scream! <3
Way to make Snape do you dirty work, Dumbles.
And you're gonna die.
I think we can safely call Iconic Line when the entire page of comments here is the same line. 😀
I'm proud to be a woman.
*sobs forever*
Umbridge is a scary, scary woman. But I still feel terrible for her wrt the whole Dumbledore situation.
"We're going to be happy. And you're going to DIE!"
I AM PROUD TO BE A WOMAN
Maybe if you were a man…
TRANSFIGURATION!
Aww, I feel really sorry for Umbridge here. 🙁
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It's so sad
I would totally call Snape a "Snape in the grass." And, even though Umbridge is the villain, Dumbledore and Snape are both being total jerks.
Umbridge has such nice legs. Jealous…
Umbridge: I love you.
AWW
YOU DONT CRY
YES YOU DO CRY YOU CHUBBY LITTLE FUCKER
Only AVPS could make me feel sorry for Umbrigde
I guess Umbridge never saw the movie He's Just Not That Into You.
Everybody in the entire musical is a jerk to some extent.
Here exhibit D: Dumbledore, you cad!
Look at Joe's arms!! His muscles!!!
JOGRBOAEBGWBO
You can tell it's great acting when they make you feel sad for a charachter everyone hates in canon.
I WILL GRIND YOUR BONES TO MAKE MY BREAD!!!
AHAHAHAHAHA AND THEN JOE DOES A LAP BACKSTAGE.
Feeble-sad Umbridge now seems like a precursor to the commander…
I understand Umbridge's motivations in the musical more than the book.
I love how Umbridge runs through the backstage crying.
MALFOY
I'm pretty sure that I did not know that Lucius was played by the same guy that played Cedric until I looked it up.
Snape is suspicious.
DADDEEEEEE! YOU CAME TO LOVE ME!!
Let's just say….now, where have we heard that before? 😉
OMG, the plot's turned up again – three-quarters of the way through Act 1!
LOL. One of my problems with this musical is that Umbridge derails it. She steals Lucius' spotlight, which is sad cause he's an awesome villain.
I think it'd worked better as two musicals, one with Lucius and his plot, and another with Umbridge, Lupin and Sirius Black.
"Let's just say…" Three point steps in between.
XDD
IT'S MY DADDEEEEEE!
Snape high-fiving everybody = LOVE
Let's *tap* just *tap* say *tap*.
XD
DADDY! YOU CAME TO LOVE ME!
Poor Draco. 🙁

DADDYYYY! DADDY !!! YOU CAME TO LOVE ME!!!!
Awww Lauren <3
OMS Draco *crying forever*
Very subtle plan Malfoy. Not suspicious at all.
"Now, boys . . ."
Two of the actors are clearly female-bodied.
Lovely 😀
Tyler Brunsman is a beautiful human being. Dancy Lucius should be canon.
Thank you Draco! Even potties need to eat!!
IS THAT CROSS-HATCHING I DETECT?
Is that crosshatching I detect?
daddy daddy! you came to love me!
awwwww 🙁
i want that drawing on a poster, framed on my wall.
Is that crosshatching I detect?
"Is that crosshatching I detect?!"
Yaxly supports you, Draco.
Is that crosshatching I detect? FAVORITE LINE
Ponting with his foot XD
YAXLEY I LOVE YOU.
"Is that crosshatching I detect?" That guy does the best voices, because he does so many 😀
I really want one of those Quidditch shirts.
They sell similar ones on Ann Arbor Tees! http://www.annarbortshirtcompany.com/184-A-Very-P…
When IIII'm on the Qui– hey…
I want to hear the rest of that song. D:
When I'm on the Quid-
*goes dark*
hey!
this song :DDD
Draco, I LOVE YOUR DRAWINGS!
Poor Draco, never quite gets his song.
YES THE QUIDDITCH MATCH. MY VERY FAVORITE PART!
This Quidditch scene was SO well done.
It is! halfway through I forgot they were on a stage with puppeteers behind them, the illusion of flight was great! (I saw it on a big screen, so it's a bit easier, but still)
Yet, one thing: camera guy, it's a choreography with a lot of people. CUT OUT THE CLOSE-UPS . I CAN'T SEE THE REST /nitpicky ballet dancer
I LOVE the quidditch choreography.
love their interpretation of quidditch
I forced the other members of the Quidditch team to watch this bit whenever we had a break during a tournament. No regrets.
I love that they're literally wearing Death Eater masks, and no one notices.
THE BEST CHOREOGRAPHY.
I love this song already <3
time for some fuckin' QUIDDITCH
"We're gunna kick your ass. We're gunna kick your ass. Your your your ass"
Dance off!
THIS IS SO AWESOME I HAVE NO MORE WORDS
Best dance scene. Right here.
Such a catchy guitar part…
I'm a family friend!
