A Very Potter

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

A Very Potter

A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel

Has anyone seen this before? I recently watched both on Youtube after seeing a mention on a Glee video. (It spoke of Draco Malfoy- a much more interesting topic than Darren Criss.) If you have seen it, what do you think? I thought it was very funny, and loved the choice of posters. (the Zefron and Taylor Lautner posters)

back to the Pudding's Place

I have them both on my iTunes, actually. They are brilliant. Especially Joe Walker and Jaime Lynn Beatty and Lauren Lopez (Voldemort/Umbridge, Ginny/Rita Skeeter, and Draco, respectively). 

I'd insert some witty comment here about who knew Harry could sing, except that I'm kind of fangirling over Daniel Radcliffe's performance in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying right now, so... that's out.

Pity about the Glee connection, though. I mean, kudos to Darren Chriss for getting onto such a high-profile show so early in his career, but... I disown it as a show.

It totally makes me excited for college too.

I'd like to see them, but I've heard they're a bit vulgar...?

I'd say it's about PG-13, personally.

I lurve Lauren Lopez as Draco. And Joe Walker as Umbridge. ("Did you get my text?... Well you didn't text me back.") And Dancing!Lucius.

@ZNZ: Well, um, it is a bit... wordy sometimes, but it isn't that bad.

Wait, I'm looking at a bunch of AVPS quotes and just had to add... "Umbridge, that textbook is a thousand years old! It still refers to Dementors as Ringwraiths."

I nearly died while watching AVPM and AVPS. From laughter.

I-can't- EVEN EXPLAIN HOW TOTALLY AWESOME *winkwink* THIS MUSICAL IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As someone (I forgot) said before, it is rather wordy, so I wouldn't recommend it for kids under, like, 12 or 13, depends on you. I would put in my favorite quote from AVPS, but it's wordy. BTW, Redvines is my favorite candy in the world. Just wanted to put that out. ;) This is such a great musical, I've watched it twice, mainly because it's REALLY long! Darren Criss is SUCH a good singer! He's the best!

Ha ha. Totally awesome. :D I'd like Red Vines, except I've never eaten them or even heard of them before AVPM (or is it AVPS?) and they seem to be like licorice... I hate licorice. (Red Vines? What can't they do?)

"I'm Draco Malfoy. I despise gingers and mudbloods, I hate Gryffindor house, and my parents work for the man who killed your parents. Do you want to be my friend?"

I love Lauren Lopez. Best. Actress. Ever.
