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.

Solve mysteries and shit.
"WHO SAID THAT?"
Harry takes of cloak
"Oh Jesus…"
…and we would solve mysteries and shit.
That's basically the whole series, isn't it?
the invisible cloak is just genius
That doesn't sound anything like my butt!
Weiner jacket? What does that even mean?
Hot dog bun?
Foreskin?
*shudder*
condom?
Butt trumpet!
Wiener jacket! bahahaha
AND SO IS SCARFY!
Scarfy totally steals the show for me each time he appears.
Looks like we're out…*AGAIN*!!
I love the number of lines in the scene that are right out of canon.
ESPECIALLY IN THAT OUTFIT
AHHHH THIS IS AMAZING
Butt trumpet? Wiener jacket? Are they using some sort of LEWD BODY PART + NOUN Algorithm?
Scarfy! XDDD
OH DUMBLEDORE
AHHH MAGIC.
Ah magic…
DUMBLEDORE, I'M NOT WORTH IT.
THIS IS WHAT YOUR BUUUUTT
SOUNDS LIKE
THAT'S BULLSHIT, SNAPE, YOU CAN'T DISAPPARATE INSIDE HOGWARTS. RIGHT?
RIGHT.
RIGHT! DAMMIT.
IM NOT WORTH IT!
Me? Snape? No, your mama!
shouldn't the tag say peverell :B
Maybe James's mom sewed the label in all his clothes (including the cloak) before sending him to school. Seems like the kind of thing she'd do.
AAH MAGIC!
SNAPE SEES LILY IN THE MIRROR. D: D: D:
Sad face forever!
MY CREYS!
"That's bullshit Snape, you can't disapparate inside Hogwarts. Right?"
"Right."
"Right!"
That is the first thing Hermione Granger taught me. Repeatedly.
awww snape
SO SAD SO SAD SO SAD SO SAD SO SAD SO SAD
i love you scarfy
Oh Rowling, the ending scene, every time ;___;
INTERMISSION
When Snape sees Lilly in the mirror…
I can't.
Brb, sobbing forever.
(I love the audience's gasp there.)
Snape, you're breaking my HEART!
SIRIUSLY THAT VOICE
Aww. Snape saw Lily.
AND SNAPE SEES LILY I THINK I'M GONNA DIE
That Lily part is real tragedy 🙁
Oh wow. THAT WAS UNEXPECTEDLY SAD.
THAT DESCRIBES THIS WHOLE MUSICAL.
I think I heard my heart break in those last moments 🙁
Well, being a headmaster… has its privileges.
Lily 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
Snape sees Lily in the mirror! :'(
I squealed like the audience the first time I saw it.
omg Lily
I love that he simply sees Lily, not Lily and himself happly married. He just wanted her to be alive. There is no word for how sad this is.
Well, it would have been kind of hard for Joe to clone himself so he could be in the mirror with her and outside of it looking in. 😀
Yea but Ron sees himself, too. I just love the idea of this in canon.
His twin brother Herbert Sherbert could've been in the mirror!
*facepalm* How could I forget about Herbert? He looks so like his brother.
I just ran around like a mad woman to get stuff done that needed doing before the intermission ended. Whew.
2 minute reminder!
I return with tea, freshly brewed from proper leaves and shit <3
Though it is in a rugby team mug, so that kind of ruins the effect
But you know, I can still be all classy and shit and try not to spit it out while I watch
With crumpets?
I LACK CRUMPETS
if you had mentioned this earlier, I could have got some D:
(next time we will plan this okay)
I'm drinking from a Dalek cup.
ACT 2 PREDICTION
Red Vines save the day.
I should probably be packing for LeakyCon BUT THIS IS SO MUCH FUN. I love you all.
What day are you leaving? My flight is on Wednesday.
I'm leaving Tuesday.
I fly out tomorrow morning. Tuesday is my birthday and I want to spend it in the park.
Also, totally excited for your panel and everything. 😉
Yeah…in a few hours I'll be rushing around the house like a mad man…but I have NO REGRETS.
Almost missed that it was you again, Megan. I should be packing too. >_>
Don't forget your trivia game!
Is anyone else going to watch the NYC DH premiere red carpet coverage later?
THIS IS BULLSHIT
BLOODY BITCH!
"This is bullshit…"
Sihrius Black
I LOVE HOW THEY SAY HEADMASTER INSTEAD OF MISTRESS
"This *month's* daily prophet". lmao
GHOSTBUSTERS?
ME HATE UMBRIDGE!
Ghostbusters breathing down Nearly Headless Nick's nearly headless neck!
Devon Little is fantastic as Cho.
Cho being a Southern belle should be canon. For some reason. IT JUST WORKS.
ME
HATE
UMBRIDGE
NOO NEVILLE 🙁
Cho Chang, you are ELEVEN.
Isn't she twelve already? At least in the books she's a year older than Harry?
But yeah, she probably is eleven in this. Never mind my previous comment.
Is she though? She already knows she's in Ravenclaw at the beginning which implies she's already been there a year, right?
Yeah, that crossed my mind as well, but I don't know. Though they are referred to (but this also might be only as a group) as first-year students.
HAHAHAHAHAHA CHAMOMILE. BLESS.
RED VINE?
Nearly-headless Nick's nearly-headless-neck – they that three times .
HARRY! You betrayed the RedVines!
"She wants us to eat each other to survive!"
You're gunna die Shlongbottom!
ANGSTY!HARRY
OMG HE REFUSED A RED VINE
ANY HAPPY LITTLE THOUGHT?
PETER PAN!
"That's rough buddy"
Zuko reference y/y?
*AUDIENCE GASP*
"Any happy little thought?!"
ANY HAPPY LITTLE THOUGHT?
So did they actually get sponsorship from Red Vines or something?
Yeah, they did.
It wasn't an official sponsorship, but someone who works for them sent them a boatload of Red Vines and was all, "Here you go, maybe you can use these in your show." So kind of.
I miss foul-mouthed Lupin.
"Any happy little thought?"
You are my happy thought, StarKid. <3
Ron: Red vine?
Harry: For the first time in my life, I don't want one.
Audience: GASP
OH GOD LUPIN
OR AM I? YOU DECIDE
Lupin SHE IS ELEVEN!
OR AM I…
(let me know)
I want to take a class from AVPSLupin.
Who know's? Maybe that's a thought we can make happen. I'm just kidding. Or am I? You decide.
A FRUMPY LITTLE GIRL?
seriously lupin steals every scene he is in
Why is Brian Holden's Lupin so perfect? The fact that they included Movie!Lupin's pedostache just makes it all the better.
"Now that you've got your happy thought, you've got to hold onto it." *Ron hugs Harry*
"Or am I??? *long pause* You decide…"
And let me know.
I love egomaniac Harry.
AKA Canon Harry?
"What the Spell is going on here??"
It still refers to dementors as ringwraiths!
RINGWRAITHS OH MY GOD
Oh man I'm starting to feel the sensitivity from the whitening strips. Ugh my teeth.
LUPIN WAS JUST JOKING, CHO! (or was he? You decide)
YOURE SMARTER THAN MERLIN?
IT STILL REFERS TO DEMENTORS AS RINGWRAITHS.
