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.

Lucius dancing is a perfect extra for this musical!
Lucius has the best entrances and exits ever.
lucius is so FIERCE
Lucius taught Tyra all about being fierce.
I'VE JUST COREOGRAPHED
That is seriously the best entrance ever. <3
"The evil scheme I've just choreographed."
Evil scheme I've choreographed. LOL Only Lucius.
omg Umbridge and Snape clapping for Lucius's entrance because IT WAS THAT GOOD.
Just noticed this, but those are some Bowie-in-Labyrinth style trousers there
Were they painted on or something
And he needs some balls to play with. Cannot be Bowie-in-Labyrinth without some balls to play with, man
I assumed they were from ballet or something, I can't see those being worn IRL.
Oh god one of the best scenes ever.
This is my jam, guys.
Oh god this song <3
This is my favorite song of the whole thing. Pardon me while I weep for Snape.
"I'm going to find and crush that criminal."
And the audience awwws.
BEST SONG BEST SONG! And damn Tyler can sing.
Annnnd, more Snape-related heartbreak. HIS LIFE IS SO TRAGIC.
He's probably out buying me a present. I'm going to find and crush that criminal.
Also. THIS SONG.
How does the guy playing Snape keep his mouth and his eyes like that ALL THE TIME?
OH MY GOD IM DYING
Nice Pensive.
I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry, oh damnit The Prince's tale!
Oh god this song kills me 🙁
JESUS CHRIST WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME
Oh, god. Stop breaking my heart, Snape!
SNAPE MY HEART HURTS
this song always makes me laugh and feel touched at the same time
lol James
The worst part is they arem't even making up how shitty James is.
Snape with a normal voice? Scwhat?
omg this is so awesome. FLASHBACK
"You are such an asshole! And so charming…"
YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHOLE.
It's so charming.
DOBBY
BAWIEBGOAWBG'OBSG'OIB'OIABSOIB'OBO'wvbo'wboviaboib
My cries!
"I'M SORRYYYYY!" D: D: D: D:
SNAPE SNAPE SNAPE
Heeey, his Snape voice is different in the flashback 😀 Awesome detail.
Damn my need for food. I've missed stuff. Oh well.
SO MANY ASSHOLES IN MY FACE
Wow, Snape can sing!
Petition for Joe Moses to sing in more shows.
WHY IS THIS SO HEARTBREAKING
I'm crying here 🙁
And btw, I don't think Snape has sung ever before.
I think you're right. This is Snape's first song (and what a fantastic first song it is).
OH GOSH. That is so awesome.
i am so sad 🙁
Can we go back and watch that again? I couldn't see through my tears. :'(
Totally pwned.
'Cuz you were totally…pwned.
"He'll never, ever think her perfect as I thought her"
That's It, drowning in tears now 🙁
I was re-reading Deathly Hallows yesterday, and when I got to this part I decided to listen to the song while I was reading…WORSE IDEA EVER. ~sobs~
"You were totally pwned"
XDDD
"He'll never think her perfect as I thought her."
STOP, JUST STOP. ~*my heart can't stand it*~
That part makes me cry every time. This group really knows how to hurt someone with their songs.
TOTALLY PWN'D.
Damn you Potter…
"No more Prophets! Enough of that shit!"
"Oh no."
"What is it?? D:"
BOGUS!
mondo bummer.
Mondo bummer.
Mondo bummer. 🙁
DIS UMBRIDGE.
Umbridge out, bitches.
I'd take tough love from those arms…
the shadow definition on them, good god
Random set design appreciation post. How long must that have taken to paint?
SANE REASONABLE PERSON
NOT UMBRIDGE HARRY!
SIT DOWN DUDE
"Sit down, duuuuude"
Drunk!Snape is the best thing EVER.
SOOOO DEPRESSING D:
True. And at the same time, so HILARIOUS. Starkid is amazing.
this scene
How did they make that beer case?
With ~magic~
HEY THOSE ARE MINE
siddoooown duuuuuuuuuuuuude
Get the students drunk Snape.
Ahhadalemonan. I have a dilemma.
BUT I HAD A BUTT TRUMPET
Drunk Snape. I'm enjoying this waaay too much.
Can every StarKid character be drunk at least once? Please and thank you.
I was in love with your mum but I had a butt trumpet
Snape is such a tragic character 🙁
DUDE THAT'S HIS MOTHER
akwaaarrd!
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
Ahhh, magic.
HARRY NOOOOOO
Darren's face. OMG
I was in love with your mum… but I had a butt trumpet.
I wanted to take your mum's… boobies and put them on my face and go ABUHBUHBUHBUHBUHBUHBUHBUHBUH
This entire scene. I just want it to me my life and then nothing would hurt and everything would be wonderful.
"And just once… Just one time… I wanted to take your mom's… boobies…. and put them on my face… and go BBWEGUIBGUESBUB!"
Is that so much to ask?!?
Poor Snape :(…he never got that motorboat he always wanted.
Most Fabulous Stupefy–Lucius Malfoy
Just once, I wanted to take your mom's boobies and put them on my face and go BHHHHHHHH!
(The fact that Darren Criss kept a straight face during that told me that there was no way Chris Colfer was going to crack him up during their skit on the Glee tour this summer. You can keep a straight face while Joe Moses does that? YOU'RE A ROCK.)
Ironman was just so mean to him…
We're not there yet!
OH! You're right! Thank you!
Aw Ron, bless.
This scene is so frickin' adorable <3
The *squish* noises whenever they touch the ground… so gross but so very funny.
I love you Ron <3
The one scene in which Ron is mostly not a douchebag. <3
I love the Spiderman talk.
RON'S SPEECH IS THE BEST EVER
Gotta love the Marvel references. X3
I love Scabbers! I want one for my shoulder 😐
"And that redhead…Mary Jane…cares a lot about him."
CUE MASSIVE AWWWS.
Ron, you're kinda sweet :3
SECOND?
Batman.
The owl noises in this are fantastic.
Dear Starkid, comic book references while having a tender love moment will get you nowhere. EXCEPT INTO MY <s>PANTS</S> HEART. Love, me.
