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.

I'm not really down with Firenze abducting Umbridge for coitus.
This. It's the main reason that I prefer AVPM – even though the songs are better in this one and it's probably just better done overall, I can never be down with rape jokes.
Oh, Team Starkid…rape jokes, really?
This is what I think every time, too. Wouldn't it also have been funny for them to just fall for each other in the fight, and the less rapey? I could definitely see an "Ohh, you're a big strong man!" from Umbridge being played in a funny way. But no. Rape joke.
This and the excessive use of toilet jokes were the only flaws.
That, and making sure that Hermione looked like as much a bitch as possible for not returning Draco's affections.
Remember girls, if a boy likes you, you don't get to decide whether or not you like him back! That makes you a hateful, cold, ungrateful bitch!
Well, it wasn't really that she turned him down. It was that she literally told him the she could do better. Talk about bitchy.
Yes, but I think giving her that dialogue in the first place reinforces that "nice" guy entitlement thing where every girl who turns down a guy is presumed to have horrible motives.
I actually liked that scene, because she said that she can do better than him.
Never liked Draco/Hermione ship, he calls her Mudblood and she is going to fall in love with him, ugh.
I appreciated that bit too. They put Hermione through a lot, and even with all her self esteem issues, she wouldn't accept that.
Well, yeah, canon Draco would deserve a speech like that, but AVPS Draco deserves much better, in my opinion!
This. Rape As Comedy appeared, and they lost me :/
DO NOT WANT
They forgot to censor Seamus' bloody fuck.
He said foook. It's cool
OH ARTHUR
HOGWARTS JAGUAR
Hello again Lupin's underwear. We missed you.
I love Starkid Arthur
oh mr. weasley
And Lupin is naked and bloody again. Everything is as it should be.
YEAHH
Hogwarts Jaguar!
Harry, I am homeless.
Can I live with you.
"Harry I am homeless…. Can I stay with you?"
Hogwarts Jaguar.
Oh Lupin, books, movies and musicals…you're just so brilliant
"OSSIO"?
RATHER NOT SAY
…Does Lupiin have a gun in his underwear?
Or is he just happy to see you
(I'm sorry, I'm so sorry)
+1
I hope he's shooting blanks…
(I am equally as sorry. But not really.)
It had to be done.
YOURE TOO CUTE
Draco respects in-universe spoiler policy
Hermione can't draw~
OH DRACO YOU ARE ADORABLE
"It just makes a lot more sense to me, now."
Love the reference to MAMD
PLEASE KISS NOW
PRETTY PLEASE
That akward bow! *sobs forever
KISS HER KISS HER KISS HER KISS HER
More ATLA lines!! Yay starkid 🙂
IN DANGER
"No. I can't forgive him. But I think it's about time I forgave you!"
YOU SHAMELESS FANS YOU AND YOUR SHOUT OUTS
No kisses for little d.
Awww… poor little D….
"No kisses for Little D." ….What does the D stand for, again?
…………..
WHAT A BITCH
So thanks for being there…for me to step on. BYE! 😀
LOL.
Oh god this scene is so awkward.
From… both sides, actually.
Aaaaaugh.
i can't help but feeling that i'm in danger of falling in love with Granger
WHY IS HE SMOKING
Dammit Granger! No you can't. No one is better than Draco.
Thanks for being there for me to step on!
Just bitches ruinin' my life.
DRACO 🙁
LESS THAN THREE <3
He's already smoking a blunt! Well no wonder no woman can survive… they go so fast!
LUNAAAAA
Oh, a heart
<3. O a heart.
LUNA LUNA LUNA
My little pony!!!
Less than three!
XDDD Oh Frienze
Oh yay Stockholm's Syndrome.
LUNA!!!
LUNA!!!!! 😀
LUNA!
PIGFARTS I WANT TO GO
Dammit, I forgot to wear my <3 shirt today! Ugh! *headdesk* Oh well. Remembered the red vines!
Are they . . . shaking with their left hands?
"You're that girl who was mysteriously absent from our second year…"
HAH.
Now we know why she wasn't in AVPM. She was living in the forest with Future!Draco.
Absolutely!
When/if (PLEASE WHEN) they do a Threequel, I'd love to see them explain why Dean and Seamus were missing in second year too. 😀
OH JESUS THIS IS SO GREAT
"All respectable wizards do"
Happy endings for everybody!
Rape jokes and now Stockholm Syndrome. Oh Starkid, you really know how to hurt my heart don't you? *sigh*
hahahaaha DRACO AND LUNA 4EVA
I agree, but only in AVPM. Canon Draco deserves to die alone.
Have we broken the comment record yet?
No. The comment record is over 3000.
Not even close, it was smashed yesterday in the Sozin's Comet liveblog.
THE ZEFRON POSTER
VOLDYS FACE
I CANT
HEADMASTER HORCRUX ZEFRON <3
Hermione from Act 1: "And I think that we — I mean the elves — are just as good as anybody!"
Are she and Draco made for each other, Y/Y/Y?
Sorty/Scarfy!!!
OH DUMBLEDEAR.
I ship Sorty/Scarfy SO HARD it's ridiculous.
VOLDEMORT I LOVE YOU COME BACK. <3
That Wildcats jersey. These musicals are amazing.
Voldemort Cameo!!!!! 😀
Continuity everywhere!
WE'RE TIGHT
SORTY/SCARFY FOREVER. <3 <3 <3
THIS IS GENIUS. There was a line in AVPM about The Sorting Hat being on a honeymoon with Scarfy. LOVE STARKID FOREVER.
This is so touching.
;____; Favourite song ever.
(Oh god, I am not going to be able to handle myself on Thursday night. *sobs*)
My shipping policies are drastically different in the musicals then they are in canon.
"I think I'm going to go with the squirrel"
Oh, and now they get meta and I get misty-eyed. <3
"It's our time away from Hogwarts that makes these seven years so special."
And the tears start… now.
"I said you'd LIKE it not that you could have it!"
OH GOD THIS SONG. <3 <3 <3
And now hits the nostalgia and the sadness 🙁
I love this song, it's so gorgeous. BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE DANCING!
Oh Snape, you make my heart hurt.
And the only wig that you can look at during the whole dance number is Luna's….
Even impromptu dance breaks won't detract from the WAVE OF NOSTALGIA 🙁
I almost want to sing this after seeing DH2, but I'm afraid I'll be crying too hard. ;_;
PEOPLE. I highly suggest watching Sirius and Lupin in the background of this scene. 😀
Oh my god 😀
YES, it took me forever to notice that they had a little kiss. o.o
Oh no the speech at the end, every time ;__;
Ahhhhh!Voldy! I love that they had Joe do his make-up over JUST so he could be Voldemort for 2 seconds since everyone loves Joe’s voldemort so much! That’s dedication ya’ll 🙂
I'm going to have this song in my head when I walk out into the parking lot after the midnight show. OH GOD. I'm going to be a sobbing mess.
THE MELODY OH MY GOD
The speech makes me tear up, but this reprise is what makes me cry for some weird reason.
Imagine how totally awesome going back's gonna be.
It was real. It did happen.
Hogwarts is gonna be here long after we're gone.

EEEEEE "GOIN' BACK TO HOGWARTS"!!!
ITS ALL THAT I LOVE
"We spent time here, we made friends here… and that's a part of us."
That sound you hear is MY HEART SHATTERING.
