The cast performed exceptionally well, and while the set design appeared modest, it's evident that a tremendous amount of effort went into its creation.

I loved seeing your reaction to this, wow was not prepared to see that you had reacted to it! It was a lot of fun and I think that you should watch the sequel and the Senior year. The sequel has even more work put into it and the Senior year is a emotional wrap up of the whole series. I would love to see your reactions to the rest.

2024-02-06 03:40:16 +0000 UTCYou guys HAVE to watch the sequel "A Very Potter Sequel" They bring in characters that you didn't get to meet in this one and it is unbelievably funny!!

2023-12-01 21:12:20 +0000 UTCSigned up to support for a month just for this! Love AVPM and Starkid, and I couldn't keep waiting for it on youtube! Loved this reaction so much <3 Hope you delve into some of their other musicals! The Batman one is amazing!

2023-11-15 17:14:38 +0000 UTCi believe he said he got partway through GoF, but he was waiting to continue them for scheduling reasons or something like that

2023-10-30 10:57:13 +0000 UTCTotally off subject but how you guys feel about new Harry Potter tv series on hbo ? They could potentially do it justice adding more detail but they could also have the potential to ruin the legacy. I was 11 when first one came out I hope they do not ruin it !! … I knew they would redo it but to me maybe to soon … will still watch it though

2023-10-16 23:50:27 +0000 UTCoh you don’t even know the rabbit hole you just opened lol. Starkid has so many shows (3 total harry potter ones) an Aladdin parody which is my favorite called Twisted, and now they make original content that’s pretty spooky & perfect for halloween time. the series starts with “The Guy Who Didnt Like Musicals” then “Black Friday” and soon their 3rd musical in this series “Nerdy Prudes Must Die” releases on youtube! their production quality has gone up drastically but they still have that comedic gold because it’s the same writers since day 1 with AVPM. Even if you don’t choose to react to any of it i highly recommend looking into it on your own!

2023-10-03 08:29:26 +0000 UTCSo glad to see that you all enjoyed this! Like several others, now I'm hoping you will watch the 2 Potter sequels that Starkid made. If you are considering other musicals, then I agree with Hamilton , Rocky Horror, and would Greatest Showman to the list.

2023-09-30 05:02:31 +0000 UTCYou gotta do the sequel! It's excellent

2023-09-25 04:23:48 +0000 UTCThis was so fun watching this with you guys haha. They did this play just for their friends and the cast was asking Darren for copies that they could have so he decided to put it on youtube instead and it took off and became a staple in the Potter fandom. In A Very Potter Sequel, it references the other books/and movies more. It's just as great as this one
Katie
2023-09-24 22:59:55 +0000 UTCThis was such a fun watch! I'm hoping this opens the opportunity for some more musicals! I would recommend The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It is a wild ride, but one that is good for fall/halloween time. It stars the great Tim Curry, along with others like Susan Sarandon and an interesting classic rock musical guest! I know musicals may be more difficult due to copyright policies, but I would love to see it!
Maggie
2023-09-24 22:38:42 +0000 UTCI’d like to add to the “please watch Hamilton” train. I think you guys would really enjoy it, but if you watch it, you’ll need the subtitles

2023-09-24 21:23:55 +0000 UTComg i did not see this until today im so happy
Ana
2023-09-24 21:00:33 +0000 UTCI wasn’t expecting this reaction but SO happy to see it! This was my entire childhood. Love the sequel too!

2023-09-24 17:22:49 +0000 UTCstarkid have an amazing selection of musicals, both parody and original (including 2 more potter ones, AVPS and AVPSY)! which are very much worth checking out!! i hadn't been on your Patreon for a while and was thinking hm I wonder what they're up to, saw this reaction and immediately joined again! you have to do a deep dive into their stuff, its kind of iconic and their budget only gets better!
A.D
2023-09-24 14:40:18 +0000 UTCYess love this! If you guys liked joe as voldy just WAIT until you meet Mama Umbridge hahaha
Amber Taylor
2023-09-23 15:23:27 +0000 UTCThis was a great reaction, glad you all had fun with this. I became a fan of StarKid after seeing this musical and have watched all the musicals they've made since. Would love to see you react to some more of the StarKid musicals if your interested.
Jeremy Burch
2023-09-23 10:39:33 +0000 UTCGot any more musicals lined up? If so I recommend Hamilton and maybe... just maybe highschool musical 👀

2023-09-23 07:18:01 +0000 UTCThis would be fantastic!
Madison RaeAnn Apitz
2023-09-23 03:14:26 +0000 UTCFirst time seeing this! Fun watching with you guys and Malfoy and Voldemort were cracking me up the whole time haha
Ivan Rasmussen
2023-09-23 02:48:08 +0000 UTC"We've Got Work to Do / (I don't really want to do the work today)" from Starkid's musical 'Firebringer' gets stuck in my head at least once a week. Usually on Mondays.

2023-09-23 02:09:25 +0000 UTCFun facts: - Lauren Lopez (Draco) and Joey Richter (Ron) got married in July. ❤️ - The idea that Draco bullied Hermione because he had a crush on her became the song "Granger Danger" first, inspiring the whole production. - AVPM has over 100 million views across the different edits! - There are two more HP musicals- A Very Potter Sequel and A Very Potter Senior Year. - When AVPSY was created many of the original cast couldn't commit full time (such as Darren was swamped with his work on Glee), so they had little time to rehearse, leading to the decision to perform as a live script reading/performance. - AJ Holmes (the other writer of music with Darren/the guy at the piano) is most well known for playing Elder Cunningham in 'The Book of Mormon' on Broadway - Evanna Lynch (who played Luna Lovegood in the movies) plays Luna Lovegood in AVPSY - The group has many amazing live/HD versions of Back to Hogwarts, Granger Danger, etc from conferences like LeakyCon, Elsie Fest, and from their tours
Griffin
2023-09-23 02:04:06 +0000 UTCSo fun to see you guys react to this ☺️ You should definitely react to the two sequels ☺️ And if you like the acting of this guys, you should definitely also check out their other shows on YouTube.
Sofie Hansen
2023-09-22 22:43:15 +0000 UTCThis is such a happy surprise! You guys need to see A Very Harry Potter Sequel!
Marcela Santos
2023-09-22 20:42:00 +0000 UTCThis is so cool! I would never have guessed I’d see this here!
Anna
2023-09-22 20:12:53 +0000 UTCYes, totally agree XD Her "bushy hair" here is a lot closer to what i pictured. I like how they seem to bring in elements from both the books and the movies.
JessTellsTales
2023-09-22 19:39:43 +0000 UTCOmg I can’t believe you guys reacted to this! I cannot wait to watch your reaction!!!
Grace
2023-09-22 19:12:39 +0000 UTCBy the way, Ron's actor and Draco's actress got married this summer!
Annie
2023-09-22 18:54:40 +0000 UTCDid not expect this at all but I'm glad it's happening. I highly recommend watching the sequels if you gentlemen enjoyed this one! I'm personally not a huge musical person, but I thoroughly enjoyed these. If you're interested in more of their musicals that isn't Harry Potter then I recommend Holy Musical B@tman and Twisted. Both are interesting and hilarious as usual from Starkid. It's a bit early in the day for me, but I cannot wait to watch and laugh along with you gentlemen. Hope you guys have a great weekend!
Nyx
2023-09-22 18:47:28 +0000 UTCI replied to someone else's comment on this but putting it out here as well, fully lending my support to the recommendation to watch Hamilton. It's incredible. Absolutely lived up to the hype for me, and probably even surpassed it.
Jeff K
2023-09-22 18:46:10 +0000 UTCI'd really like to see reactions to bloopers from you.
Rogtiz
2023-09-22 18:41:10 +0000 UTCAlright, I never considered recommending a musical here, but now I want to see you guys do more! Adding my vote in for Hamilton next! It's hard to say enough about it. I didn't think i liked musicals until i watched that one. Also, this was my first time watching this too with y'all. Thanks for introducing me to this super fun production!
JessTellsTales
2023-09-22 18:34:14 +0000 UTCStrongly agree!
Miss_CJ
2023-09-22 18:34:13 +0000 UTCI would love it if they watched it. It's so, so, so good. The music is incredible and so are the performances. These guys need some more Leslie Odom in their lives. I don't particularly like musicals, but that's one I'll happily watch once or twice a year, and I have the soundtrack on my phone. I wanna be in the room where it happens...
Jeff K
2023-09-22 18:30:33 +0000 UTCThe first movie was ok, but I don't think I ever even finished the second one. However, those movies were my introduction to Alexandra Daddario so I'm forever grateful to them.
Jeff K
2023-09-22 18:29:20 +0000 UTCAs others have mentioned there's actually 2 more of these, A Very Potter Sequel and A Very Potter Senior Year (Which was done at a convention). Would be fun to see you do reactions to those, Darren Criss came back for both despite being super busy with glee at that point,
Xeph
2023-09-22 18:23:00 +0000 UTCI love all the Harry Potter Musicals from Starkid. You should check out the other two as well!
Nanathathalielie
2023-09-22 17:59:23 +0000 UTCA starkid marathon might be fun if everyone enjoys live stage musicals - the quality gets better over time and Twisted, The guy who didn’t like musicals, and A very potter sequel are my personal favorites👀 It’s definitely a very different atmosphere compared to musical films!
Harace Lovestruck
2023-09-22 17:32:05 +0000 UTCI agree with that, but also by the time they get to the movies the series might already be out. In case dave reads this, in the movies there was creative differences between the author and the studio, but in the new show, the author of the book is directly involved.
Conor Moriarty
2023-09-22 17:17:20 +0000 UTCIt's a fun and satirical musical, it doesn't take itself seriously. You should watch it! Quinn, Oak and Answer laughed quite a bit and had a good time!
Miss_CJ
2023-09-22 17:12:52 +0000 UTCHonestly, I think it might be better to watch the series first at this point. It was said to be a more accurate and faithful adaptation of the books, but we'll have to see) The movies are fun but the characters are much older than they should be and there are a lot of differences.
Miss_CJ
2023-09-22 17:10:17 +0000 UTCYes please do Hamilton!
Alyssa Goodwin
2023-09-22 17:02:02 +0000 UTCThe trailer was just released for the new show, might be good watch for you guys!
404beansontoast
2023-09-22 16:54:34 +0000 UTCI wonder if you guys would like Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda, it's a great musical!
Miss_CJ
2023-09-22 16:50:48 +0000 UTCI hate musicals. This would be like a 3 hour try not to cringe challenge hahahaha
Liam
2023-09-22 16:17:10 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to watch this. If you liked this you need to also check out A Very Potter Sequel! Obviously a sequel to this one. Snape and Umbridge are great 😂
Katie
2023-09-22 15:59:40 +0000 UTCThe Oak called it with Harry Potter's actor here! That is indeed Darren Criss, who played Blaine on the musical dramedy show Glee. He's a fantastic actor and singer. He also played the serial killer Andrew Cunanan in The Assassination of Gianni Versace. And he's been on Broadway. Very talented guy.
sierra's reaction corner
2023-09-22 15:36:31 +0000 UTCYou guys would like the rest of their musicals. Holy Musical B@tman is one of my favorites.
Mae
2023-09-22 15:05:50 +0000 UTCLOL you guys should watch other starkid musicals like Twisted
J Knight
2023-09-22 15:00:10 +0000 UTCLoved you guys reaction. This musical was based on the books that's why some stuff seem different from the movies. I know The Oak the listening to the books but some of the differences were jokes and some were from the books

2023-09-22 14:22:33 +0000 UTCI think this Hermione is more accurate to the books than what she was in the movies xD

Badd Medicine
2023-09-22 14:07:47 +0000 UTCThe movies are pretty fun but are EXTREMELY different from the books. It’s viewed in the same context as the airbender movie but not as bad.
Conor Moriarty
2023-09-22 14:06:28 +0000 UTCThis was a fun watch.
Badd Medicine
2023-09-22 14:03:00 +0000 UTCWe haven't seen any Percy Jackson films. Those are on the list to watch.

2023-09-22 14:02:48 +0000 UTCAre you guys going to be watching the new percy jackson show when it comes out in december?

2023-09-22 13:55:33 +0000 UTCI’m working now but I can’t wait to watch this! This musical and its sequel have been comfort watches for me for many years!
