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.

Yes yes yes. I love this part.
One of the best songs. <3 This scene is so beautiful, ALL THE TEARS.
THIS SONG MAKES ME CRY.
La la la la la…
Awww, i love this song! Mirror of Erised! SO EMOTIONAL.

I get chills when I hear those first piano notes.
LOVE THIS SCENE ENDLESSLY.
The mirror. THE MIRROR. Legit goosebumps, every time.
CAN I JUST CRY LIKE FOREVER
It's nice that Starkid can pull off the poignant as well as the comedy.
USA JUST COME BACK AND WON! Sorry I was so excited and got far ahead a second ago. And now it's time to cry for my favorite song 🙁 So beautiful Darren.
Oh, bow I'm really staring to cry, THIS SONG!
This song, you guys. THIS. SONG. crying my eyes out, it's too beautiful.
THIS SONG. Just, this song.
ALL THE CREYS
HARRY'S DAD HAS NEIL GAIMAN HAIR! Why did I not notice that before?!
I didn't notice either before I saw your comment!?!
"Sirius could be in here but I'm not sure. This is a very complicated schematic!"
doesn't it sound like neville is lalalaling at the beggining
tears forever.
I love Darren's voice in this song. So mellow and not stressed…
constant goosebumps. christ.
Whoooa, the Mirror of Erised is AWESOME. Is that MAGICAL THEATRE GLASS?
Probably gauze?
Whatever, it looks GREAT.
I'm just kind of realizing now, the sequel has a lot of sad songs. Or at least songs that make me tear up.
Ohhhh, this scene is just lovely.
I'm inside Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
I know this parody is super silly, but the serious songs tend to be my favorite ones.
I think you mean Sirius Songs.
omg
"Hermione's turning into a blueberry and I'm eating her."
Ron sprayed blueberry breath spray into her mouth before kissing her in AVPM!
That's awesome!
SIRIUS BLACK! ily <3

'Hermione's turned into a blueberry and I'm eating her.' Oh really now Ron.
I see myself turning into Cho Chang y'all

"Jelly legs jinx!" "Unjellify!" "HARRY, HE'S TOO MUCH FOR US!"

I never thought the Mirror of Erised would show up in this musical.
By the way, Mark, did anyone ever tell you (or did you figure out) that Erised is "Desire" backwards?
THIS SONG IS GIVING ME CHILLS
Darren's REACHIN' OUT there oh god
I adore James and Lily chanting in the background.
"…yeah…I do…"
;__;
You can really tell the starkids Love HP.
I love this song so much
Oh god. Even in comedy, Sirius is covered in tragedy 🙁
Soon I'll FINALLY have time to go to the bathroom AND get something to eat 😀 Me hungry.
Goosebumps…. And I've seen this so many times!
I want to hug and kiss him!
This is sad :/
Hug and kiss him!
Can't fake that
You can't fake that.
You can't explain that.
"He saw my parents in the mirror. And, well, you can't fake that!"
LOL, can't fake that. Hmm.
Right after I watched this for the first time last year, I sat down at the piano for an hour trying to figure out that song. Totally worth it xD
Did you figure it out? If so, can I please have it? lol
I did, but I didn't transpose it or anything D: I could try to sit down after this and figure it out again and write down chords if nothing else? (It's been aaages since I've played it.)
"…and we would solve mysterys n' shit."
The Marauders in the Mystery Machine!
Scooby Doo was an Animagus.
Ron's reaction to the cloak, OMG.
Haha I love when Ron shoves Herman out of the way.
WHO SAID THAT.
"They where both my family" gives me chills every time.
This song makes me like Sirius so much more than any movie.
And we would solve mysteries and shit
WHO SAID THAT.
THE CLOAK OHMIGOD
WHO SAID THAT!?
And we would solve mysteries and shit.
FANFICTION WAITING TO HAPPEN. oh god.
