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.

Lupin just beats him with his wand. He's so cool he doesn't even need spells to defeat Death eaters.
REMUS LUPIN, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. A CLASS ACT.
And not homeless… anymore!
I'm not homeless… anymore.
TAKE THAT YOU BASTARD ASS!
Oh Lupin, I love you.
The musical Death Eaters are more organized than the book and movie DEs.
It does sort of seem that way.
Nice cape, Lupin. You look sort of like Sherlock Holmes.
LUPINLUPINLUPINLUPINLUPIN
Oh shit I gotta watch my damn mouth around you little bastards.
I mean, shoot. I gotta watch my damn mouth around you little bastards.
I gotta watch my damn mouth around you little bastards.
oh my god this is now canon
Lupin has a potty mouth!
WHY DOES HE SWEAR ALL THE TIME?
Why not?
IM NOT COMPLAINING THOUGH HAHAH
He's a werewolf. He hangs with a tough crowd.
SNAAAAAAAPE :D:D:D
WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON HERE?
"Shit, I gotta watch my damn mouth around you little bastards." <— me, every time I have to interact with children
'Oh shit you guys are kids, gotta watch my damn mouth around you.'
BEST ENTRANCE EVER
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE
WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON HERE!
great cliffhanger there
WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON HEEEERE?! Perfect entrance is perfect.
SNAAAAPE!
I like how once in a while they remind us that Harry et. al. are supposed to be eleven years old. Most of the time it's forgettable.
SNAPE!!!!!!! YOU'RE HERE
SNAAAAPE
Your friend and his pet night troll. I just can't stop laughing at this.
oh man I am gonna have to get lunch soon and actually work but i want to STAY HERE AND LIVEBLOG FOREVER 🙁 🙁

THAT'S SNAPE. HE'S EVIL
That's Snape. He's evil.
Ha! Who looks stupid now? YOU DO!
Sour Grape Snape!
HOW DARE YOU SPEAK THAT NAME!
No good, good for nothing is the best insult ever.
Who looks stupid now? You do.
BUTT TRUMPET
BUT TRUMPET
CAUSE YOU GOT A TRUMPETING BUTT
Who looks stupid now? YOU DO!
No wait, butt trumpet is the best insult ever.
HE DOESN'T SOUND ANYTHING LIKE MY BUTT!
That sounds nothing like my butt!
I love how Snape and Lupin revert to children whenever they interact.
Butt-trumpet! That's so much better than Snivelous.
THATS ABSURD
BUTT TRUMPET. THAT IS ALL.
ha who looks stupid now?
"I demand you stop acting like a child. Or I'll tell Dumbledore and have you expelled!"
You're expelled, I just expelled you!
about to hear the BEST SONG EVER
Unplanned face obstacle curtain.
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH.
TT ^ TT
Everytime Darren sings this, I cry =(
"We can't expel each other! …can we?" "I WON'T PRETEND TO KNOW." "THEN I WILL!"
Harry is just looking innocently by 😀
I HAZ GOOSEBUMPS
OH GOD THIS SONG.
Emotional whiplash. Oh my creys.
Ughhhhhhh, this song. It's raining on my face.
This song is heartbreaking!
THIS SONG.
I'm gonna start crying, it's so beautiful
this song gives me goosebumps. darren is so crazy talented.
No, I'm not tearing up. It's just raining on my face.
fotc reference for the win.
i've just been chopping onions… because i'm making a lasagna. … for one.
"Home" is legitimately one of my favorite songs EVER.
OHMIGOD AM I GOING TO CRY?
i just love this song!
To Have Home makes me cry almost every time. <3
Lupin and Snape can expel each other…with EXPELLIARMUS!
You are a bad, bad man.
I'm getting emotional.
I love how Remus' acting is all straight and serious while everyone else is OTT XD
What does OTT mean?
Over The Top
This song never fails to bring a tear to my eyes.
I kinda wish I could send them microphones so I can hear the low parts.
Same here
THIS SONG. THE TEARS, THEY COME. T_T
Yup, it's raining on my face.
Hoping to get pictures with Starkid at Leakycon…
. . . I want to flipendo that pillar with the spiral on it. Harry Potter computer games anymore?
Yes! Aah, good times, good times.
I am completely willing to believe it's a deliberate reference. Starkid are just that good!
Just like Darren's sweater!
OMG Flipendo. Good times.
Oh, those games <3 I've still got some of them on Nintendo!
Oh my god yes, so many hours playing Chamber of Secrets, it was so awesome getting to explore Hogwarts.
Snape vanish! Snape has so much wonderful flourish.
oh darren criss you are so talented
WOO DARREN YOU SING
And Darren wrote all the music for this. God, he's too talented to be one person.
DARREN SE VA A LA MIER…
sorry he brings the spanish out
Darren Criss, congratulations on your voice. And your songwriting. And your face. AND YOUR LIFE.
sorting! love it
Ron / Headband =OTP
Red Vines/Ron/Headband OT3
i love this set. it looks like the cover of the book, right?
I like how Cho Chang didn't participate in the bench moving.
That is the best damn sorting hat I've ever seen.
So proud of Darren.
GRYFFINDOR!!!
I want a sorting hat puppet so bad!
oh my god
Epic.
Oh my goodness, this song just makes me want to give this somehow-eleven-years-old boy a huge hug. As if I didn't want to give little Harry a hug anyway.
Darren Criss is a good singer, you guys! It's weird how he's not on some hit musical TV show singing all of the time or whatever.
we're not just complimenting his singing though — at least I wasn't. he wrote all the music for this show, which is all CRAZY GOOD music for an original college-produced musical. and he doesn't get to do that on glee. obvs.
Except he kind of is…
The Sorting Hat is amazing.
I have a sorting hat!
