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.

This song is still in my top 5 most played songs. I love it so much oh my god.
AND I JUST TRAVELLED THE FUCK BACK IN TIME
So fuck you, Draco. How's that for a happy thought?
Well, fuck you too Potter.
it's still funny how their past selves look nothing like their present selves 🙂
Fuck you, Draco, how's that for a happy thought?
There's no way that there's no way.
Makes perfect sense.
LOVE. THIS. SONG.
DARREN CRISS IS A GENIUS GODDAMN
Seriously, he's too good for the shit-fest that is Glee.
Damn that G.L.E.E.!
They're always making twisted abominations out of everything!
And then they tried original songs. Dear God was that a bad gimmick. Oh and I almost forgot Friday. FFS what were they thinking.
Well, I think the Rachel song on that episode was very good, and Loser Like Me was AWESOME. The other original songs, not so much.
A bit like Starkid does with Harry Potter, then 🙂
I like Glee…
Me too. It's fun 🙁
Yeah, but you gotta appreciate the awesome things it's doing to his career, visibilty-and-opportunity-wise.
such a inspirational song <3
Draco finally got his four-part harmony!
LEAVE RIGHT NOW IF YOU THINK THIS AIN'T REAL
Such a fantastic song.
God could they all sing together in every scene? They harmonize so well.
I JUST SONGASMED OH MY SEVERUS
Love that song!!!
"No Way" is probably my second favorite song from this.
First?
The AVPS songs haven't been as catchy as the ones from AVPM, but that one was pretty great.
I find the AVPS songs to be way, way better. In performance and composition.
With the possible exceptions of Different As Can Be and the song Harry sings to Cho Chang.
They are better, but they don't get stuck in your head as much. After the first AVPM video I kept singing Back to Hogwarts, but I left the AVPS screening without remembering a single line of song besides "it's not over yet".
Maybe it's because the lyrics are more complex – I still can't learn all the words to No Way.
Heading to Wales in less than twelve hours and I've not even started packing. Still no way I'm moving from this spot until it's all over 🙂
That was such a high leap.
"It sounded forced" BURN! lmao
There’s ~no way~ you can’t be in love Starkid 🙂
No, Papa! *leaps like the most freakin' adorable gazelle ever*
Drako! You danced!
Dra-ko! You finally danced!
Body bind hex.
oh no
YOU GO DRACO
LAUREN'S LEAP FOR ALL THE WINS.
I WILL STEAL ALL THE INTERNETS AND GIVE THEM TO HER.
It sounded forced
… it sounded forced.
It sounded forced.
It sounded forced.
Combo!
Oh shit, plot twist.
THIS SCENE
WHAT WHAT WHAT
That awkward moment when four comments in a row are the same line. xD
CHOREOGRAPHED.
OK NOW WHAT
DOBBY?!
WHAT.
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WERE YOU EXPECTING THAT AT ALL, MARK?
Draco's a fucking elf!
IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING ELF.
ASJKLSDFAJKSDFAJKDFSA
SADKJLSD;DSK;DFSAJKLFSDAJKLFDSA
KJSADFKL;FDSKL;FDSJKLDFSAADFKLS
Indeed
AAAAAAGH, I WAS CALLED AWAY FOR DINNER DURING THE INTERVAL.
BUT.
BACK FOR: DOBBY.
It's because you're a FUCKING ELF!
ITS CAUSE YOURE A FUCKING ELF!
"IT'S CUZ YOU'RE A FUCKING ELF!"
DRACO, WE CAN BE BLEEPING ELVES TOGETHER
IT'S 'CUZ YOU'RE A FUCKING ELF!
SHIT JUST GOT REAL!
…my brothers??
That crosses the line from funny into disgusting D:
It's because you're a f*cking elf!
That one time when I drowned a litter of his young… my brothers?
MY… BROTHERS?
BEDS SMEAGOL HAHAHAHAHA
my… brothers? D:
Drako killed his brothers!
Did you hear the ATLA dialogue there? 😀
No. What was it?
"Now I see that banishment is far too merciful a penalty."
HA NICE SHOUT OUT
THE HOWLING OH MY GOD ITS PERFECT
Throwback to AVPM. Mind-melting revelation about Dobby that was foreshadowed earlier in the show. Avatar: the Last Airbender quotes.
StarKid, you are GENIUSES and I love you dearly.
Woah? What was the Avatar quote in this one? I didn't catch it.
OH OH NEVERMIND. I MISREAD.
I love how, no matter how obvious it gets, no one can figure out Lupin is a werewolf.
Lupin-Wolf saves the day! VICTORY!
IT'S A VAMPIRE GREMLIN ROBOT!
Dobby??? <3!!!
"Now I realize that banishment was far too merciful a penalty. Yours shall be far steeper."
DUUUUUUUUUUURH?!
Wait a second. There's five of them but only four patronuses.
Yaxley is a Death Eater, and no Death Eater (except Snape) can cast a Patronus, according to J. K. Rowling.
don't cross the streams!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THE PATRONUSES
HAHA The patronuses get me every time!
I'm far too amused by Sirius sneaking off the stage.
Best. Patronuses. EVER.
I want a Boba Fett patronus.
Whose Patronus is the Genie??
Ron's. 🙂
Well Hermione's is Green Lantern I think so…
My guess is Draco.
OMG I love Dumbledore.
"Uhhhh… magic!"
"Weapons. Now." Ron takes the Red Vine out of his mouth and drops it on the floor. XD
It's Firenze, our centaur friend!
It sure is!
y hallo thar ABS
Boba fett? All the wins! 🙂
Chekhov's centaur!
I FORGOT THIS PART, HOW DID I FORGET THIS PART?
I'm going to pwn this pony!
the emotion you humans know as blood…
"This must be the emotion you humans know as blood." XD
"This must be the emotion that you humans know as blood. I'm bleeding."
EMOTION?
I'M BLEEDING
I love how you can tell when all the audience members realize where this is going.
I saw it coming a mile away, on the first appearance of the centaur. The girls I saw it with didn't realize until it was spelled out XD
My chest
NO YOUTUBE DON'T DIE ON ME
Joe Moses (Snape) choreographed this fight scene. Nice job, sir.
"My chest!" Definitely one of my favourite lines.
This was a pretty convincing fight sequence and that punch to the "chest" so much rofl.
OH.
MY.
GOD.
UMBRIDGE AND FIRENZE
AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Why do centaur live in trees?
WHAT
How the heck do centaurs live in a tree village? 😛
It's a village in the forest? 😀
I love how Jim just picks up Joe like he's nothing. XDD
That was an EXCELLENT stage fight.
