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.

That's hilarious.
Beautiful 😛
Stay out of the Shrieking Shack, okay? I'm a werewolf in there.
I'm a werewolf. Wait, what?
I think the black ones look like snapdragons.
Ahaha I made it! Late once again!
Was Cho Chang running off with Neville?
Yeah.
Heeeeey, Big D.
OH MY GOD
STANDS FOR MY WEINER.
DUMBLEDORE
OH MY GOD
Have fun in Hogsmeade! And don't get killed by Sirius Black!
The D stands for my wiener.
DUMBERDURR. <3
"Welcome to Hogwarts" body shots!
Welcome to Hogwarts body shots!
I love that Joe got a manicure…really committed to this part.
and shaved his armpits!
Welcome to Hogwarts body shots, ahahaha!
BODY SHOTS WITH UMBRIDGE
NIGHTMARES
WAIT, IF JOE WALKER IS INVOLVED….
oooooh dumbledooooore!
THIS IS THE BEST SONG, AHAHAHAHA.
How I missed Joe's singing.
If this was book canon.
Seeing Joe and Darren singing this out of costume was both the weirdest and funniest thing
Darren had a concert in London recently and he sang this with Joe. It was fucking awesome.
I was there. It was just AMAZING
This is…adorable?
Tough to call, really.
The dancing it this, ahahaha!
Dumbledore. Smooth as laminate flooring.
Have you ever tried….gillyweed!?
WHEEE! <– favorite part of the whole song
Whee!!
*clappity clap* WHEE!
They are so beautiful together
*wipes away tear*
This is so fucking beautiful.
This is the greatest tragedy of the Potter musical universe. Forget Harry's parents and even Quirrel/Voldemort. THIS breaks my heart.
THIS IS A GREAT SONG
SLIGHTLY CREEPY BUT GREAT
They actually sound really good together. 🙂
You're the one professor I want detention from
Umbridge's sexy pose. hahaha
I WILL NEVER NOT LAUGH AT THE DETENTION LINE.
MINE CERTAINLY WAS
Umbridge on the door, ahahaha.
YES. GRINDLEWALD.
go with the flow. you know?
rofl, Grindelwald reference
Hahaha, I always laugh at the Grindelwald line.
It's sad that this song doesn't show off the full potential of Dylan's supermegafoxyawesomehot singing voice.
Go ahead and… kick it up a noooootch…
YEEESSSSS.
That was amazing. I was also impressed that he kept his arms up the whole time.
I'd love to hear Joe sing in his regular voice. Both Voldemort and Umbridge have funny voices XD
grindewald!
Grindewald just took my hand, AHAHAHAHA.
Grindlewald corrupted Dumbledor! I knew it!
I can't stop imagining movie-Dumbledore telling Harry 'Grindelwald just took my hand…'
MISTER UMBRIDGE?
AND HE SHRUGS?
"I think we understand eachother perfectly . . . Mr. Umbridge." AHAHAHA XD
And Umbridge just goes: "what? Oh, whatever"
MISTER Umbridge
Grindelwald!
(Although I've always suspected Elphias Dodge was his first time.)
I think Elphias was in love with him and Dumbledore never noticed XD
My 3-year-old goddaughter sings along to this song. The first time it happened I nearly fell over in shock.
When he poses at the door, oh my goodness, there are just no words.
SLAM.
LOL, I'm suddenly feeling so weird for shipping Dumbledore/Umbridge a little.
I can't get enough of Seamus' stories.
"And he's in this storm drain….dressed a clown…."
"Hey, it's me! A clown!"
"It" Reference!
Best Horror story ever. The one with Sirius Black and Flitwick's little brother
…dressed as a clown…
D: D: D: D: D:
"David's little brother–!!"
FLITWICK'S LITTLE BROFFAAAAAAH!
Brian Rosenthal is amazing. AND HE BITES THE KID'S HEAD OFF!
Seamus, you are one gifted storyteller. Also it seems a fan of Stephen King.
I'm with you, Dean.
Sirius = Pennywise the Clown. Thanks so much, Seamus. XD
"AND HE BITES THE KID'S HEAD OFF!!"
*girl crying*
"And two days later… that kid died."
AND HE NEVER CAME OOOOOOOUT
I'LL DO IT
I love how Lavendar Brown is a stone-cold gangsta in the AVPM but cries like a four-year-old in AVPS.
What happened to transform her over that summer-holiday? Inquiring minds want to know.
I'LL DO IT.
ahahskdjfhsalkdf
I burst out laughing the first time I heard that. Scarfy wasn't very precise on her sorting.
To be fair, he never specified a gender preference for her… only timing.
^ That's exactly what I was saying. I didn't mean it was incorrect — just vague enough to be flexible. 😀
For some reason I read "precise" as "accurate." /English major fail
The accents in this scene are beautiful and nothing hurts
Hermin!!
Neville is prepared.
Unlike Mark.
Cho Chang is really pushing my buttons right now.
rofl, Neville is just messing things up for Her-my-one.
They have wands. Why does she need a flashlight?
Thanks Neville, you're so prepared.
Saying Lumos before pulling out the flashlight is a great touch.
BLOODY SHIT
as an English girl of Irish descent, I am offended 🙁 my surname judges you, "Seamus" AND SO DO MY GRANDPARENTS
Póg ma thoin, SIR
I am slightly delighted that I actually know what that means. Thank you, Pogues!
<3
My dad knows how to say "close the door on your way out". This will never come in handy, but he likes to show off.
Bloody shit!!!
XDDD
BLOODY SHIT!
Way to do the right thing Harry.
Hermononucleosis.
Hermononucleosis!
I LOVE HOW THEY CAN'T GET HER NAME RIGHT
Her*mumblemublemuble*
Aaaaah wooouldn't cooount on iiiit.
Their complete ineptitude at saying her name XD
Hermononucleiosis!
A VAMPIRE!
IT'S A VAMPIRE!
Crookshanks is the best example of comedy's "Rule of Three" ever. The third time is hilarious
It's a… it's a… VAMPIRE!
Listen to those sound effects! This is some HIGH QUALITY SOUND PRODUCTION right here. So good.
It's the big Red Vine money paying off.
I flipped out when Lupin growled. WEARING HEADPHONES MAKES THINGS FREAKY.
This is a good point to say how much I LOVE the puppets, and the black-clad stage hands controlling them – it looks really great.
I will be…. after a Red Vine. *winks at camera*

After a Red Vine.
I don't even like Red Vines, but Ron makes me want them
