A Very Potter Musical & A Very Potter Sequel

A Very Potter Musical


A Very Potter Musical is a musical parody of the very popular book and movie series Harry Potter. A Very Potter Musical brings together parts from all of the different books/movies and puts them together in a humorous way which allows you to follow the life of the main character Harry Potter (Darren Criss) and some of his peers.










A lot of great music was written for this play. The music and lyrics were written by Darren Criss and AJ Holmes. The music written for the show included songs such as Granger Danger, Different As Can Be and Not Alone. Below are links to these three songs performed lived by Team Starkid at Space Tour, in late 2011.

 I would recommend this musical to Harry Potter fans and even Non-Harry Potter fans. I know of many people who aren't particularly Harry Potter fans but loved the show and thought it was hilarious! The whole show is available to watch for free on the StarkidPotter page. Here's the link to Act One, Part One of A Very Potter Musical:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmwM_AKeMCk.

A Very Potter Musical was named one of the '10 Best Viral Videos of 2009' by Entertainment Weekly and is currently rated 7.4/10 stars on imdb.com.









A Very Potter Sequel

A Very Potter Sequel is the follow-on musical from A Very Potter Musical. In a way this Sequel turns into a Prequel by using a time-turner to go back in time to Harry's first year attending Hogwarts. A Very Potter Sequel was another huge success for Team Starkid, leaving them as well as fans with the hope that one day they will create A Very Potter Three-quel.

You can also check out the whole musical for free on Youtube on the StarkidPotter page or follow this link to Act One, Part One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OepW-AG-Ris



A Very Potter Sequel brought in more characters that A Very Potter Musical did not have such as: Dolores Umbridge (Joe Walker), Remus Lupin (Brian Holden) and Luna Lovegood (Arielle Goldman), along with many others.



In my personal opinion I found A Very Potter Sequel even more humorous and entertaining then A Very Potter Musical, so if you loved a Very Potter Musical, I guarantee you will love the sequel as well and even if you didn't love A Very Potter Musical, believe me...the sequel is still something I recommend you check out!
