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.

The most ancient and silliest of all wizarding sports. <– How I'll describe Quidditch to anyone who asks.
MY PARENTS SAID THAT SPORTS ARE BAD FOR YOUR TEETH.
I feel like the books needed more references to Hermione's dentist parents.

"Hey guys, who invited Boo Radley?"
I love you, writers. You have no idea. <3
Jigglypuff, Pokemon reference for the win!
The silliest of all sports HAHAHA
Dean's got a MEAN swing! XD
Take these and practice hitting each other.
*cue sentimental music*
James was a beater.
Actually, he was Chaser…
Oops.
Who told you that, did your dad tell you that?
The piano music, ahahahahahaha.
'I didn't get the chance to talk to him after he died'
I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO TALK TO HIM AFTER HE DIED
Good! It's probably just hearsay then.
'I thought the traitor Sirius Black was their best friend' '…No'
That's the biggest snitch I've ever seen.
BEST DRACO ENTRANCE EVER
FLAWLESS DRACO ENTRANCE
=DDDD
We were all wrong…. THAT WAS DRACO'S BEST AND MOST RANDOM ENTRANCE.
DRACO, AHAHAHAHA.
That's absurd battle, for the win.
OMG DRACO. Another best entrance ever!
Crookshanks!
Definitely the best part of the musical XD
DAMMIT, CROOKSHANKS.
Why is Snape here and Lupin's not cussing?!
You are waaaayyy ahead.
Thanks, I just realized.
Did Crabbe just give birth to Draco?
That was Goyle, and yes. Yes he did.
Crabbe, Goyle, potato baby, potahto baby.
'potato baby, potahto baby'
I am using that from now on.
Whoo! We're halfway through the first act!
Oh, we aren't yet. I remembered that Act I would only have 14 parts.
If anyone shows up to LeakyCon with a cat that looks like that Crookshanks, I will buy him/her a Butterbeer. Not even joking.
Time to get to work before I fly in tomorrow.
Whoo! I'm going to Leakycon, too!
that tiger head cracks me up every time!
As crazy as Crookshanks's entrances are, they are more canon than in the movie.
i'm stealing your favorite drawing
I drew a picture of you.
The way Draco pronounces Potter
Don't you feel foolish?
SERIOUSLY I LOVE LAUREN LOPEZ SO MUCH
I wish I could draw that
DONT YOU FEEL FOOLISH
Lauren Lopez, why aren't you a megastar?
Are they going to sell these drawings on ebay?
NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE, POTTAH.
Oh god I totally appeared an hour late (for some reason I could've sworn it said 10am PST, but whatever, it's not like I haven't seen this musical a billion times anyway) but I AM HERE.
Love this musical so much 😛
Is Hermione Can't Draw coming up???
Lauren Lopez and Joe Walker should be on SNL.
Goyle paste it!
I'VE STOLEN YOUR FAVORITE DRAWING
"What do you think of this NOOOOOOOOO"
hahahaha what just happened.
I love how Draco basically monologues himself into his own downfall.
AGAIN.
Draco, you goddamn little poofer!
I love the look of general confusion on everyone's face. the WTF?! look
I remember I kind of screamed when Draco tore the drawing the first time! Where's the paste?!
Ewwwww, that imagery.
OHMIGOD
You're oversharing, Draco. FYI.
I CANT TYPE FAST ENOUGH
Draco has a problem with both potties and Pottahs. I feel like there has to be a connection. THIS IS WHY SHE HATES POTTAH.
HERMIONE CAN'T DRAW!!!
All respectable Wizards wear diapers.
<img src="http://i51.tinypic.com/2ylr5s3.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic">
TMI, Malfoy. TMI.
HERMIONE CAN'T DRAW, HERMIONE CAN'T DRAW.
Hermione Can't Draw always gets stuck in my head xD
BEST SONG EVER.
Poor Herman!
Oh, God. BEST SONG IN LIFE!!!!
He'll spank my cheeks as red as Red Vines!
Lupin can sing, actually…. XD.
He's just not to good at improv.
HERMIONE CANNOT DRAW
HERMIONE CAN'T DRAW.
Draco's dancing, ahahahaha.
HE ONLY READS BOOKS AND HE CANNOT SING, EVEN IF HE'S READING A HOW TO SING BOOK
LUPIN CANNOT SING
MARK CAN'T DRAW
MARK CAN'T DRAW
MARK CANNOT DRAW
HE ONLY READS BOOKS SO HE CANNOT DRAW
EVEN IF HE'S READING A HOW-TO-DRAW-BOOK
(remember that???)
LUPIN, AHAHAHA.
HAHAHAHAAHA HERMIONE CAN'T DRAW AGAIN
KEY CHANGE. I LOVE IT.
I love that high five
RON DANCING WITH SNAPE
Snape and Ron have the best odd friendship in these musicals, I love it.
I'm remus freaking- hey he hey hermione can't draw
Oh oh oh oh oh!!! I love this song!
Me too, I'm going to cry, soon.
I love this part so much
Two fantastic songs 😀
This is one of my favorite songs in both musicals. Such an awesome anthem.
The Ron and Snape moments in these musicals are brilliant.
Favorite song: Coolest girl. This coming from a guy
Maybe Hermione can't draw, but she sure can sing!
I LOVE Bonnie SO MUCH!
Ron and Snape's relationship in these musicals is a great little background detail.
This is so my theme song.
I love this Hermione solo.
And Bonnie too, obviously
I am the coolest girl in the whole wide world.
Go Hermione.
I went to AVPS live, and Hermione Can't Draw was stuck in my head for three weeks afterward. Totally worth it.
I don't think you understand how insanely jealous of you I am right now
This song is remarkably touching, isn't it?
Yeah, I think so
It really is – and still pretty funny, the way Bonnie performs it! You can tell they really love all the characters, and give them all an equal shot.
(…Except Neville.)
That's what I love about these musicals, the scenes may be ridiculous and OOC, but the songs could very well be canon!
I wish "The Coolest Girl" had been around when I was in high school. Would have improved my self-esteem a thousandfold back then.
Two awesome songs right after one another! so good.
Damn, girl! You show 'em!
This song only got knocked out of my top 5 most played songs on my iPod because Starship came out.
STARSHIP SONGS ARE ALL SO CATCHY! I go around singing them all day.
