just imagining the confusion of the non-starkid fans in the audience when Darren announces that Brian is going to be playing Hermione and Lauren is going to be playing Draco

[@liorgefen1511]

Only Lauren playing Malfoy would be surprising, Brian as Hermione was surprising for all of us, including the unfamiliar with the play... The rest knew Lauren would be Malfoy

[@Mihoshika]

@@liorgefen1511 Not the first time he's done Hermione.

[@gooel]

It is pretty racist, but #AsianLivesMatter isn't as popular of a hashtag.

[@claudiacae9691]

@@gooel the point is to call out the racist undertones about the cho chang character because of her name, her being in the smart house (because asians are usually portrayed as smart due to strict parents and stuff) and a bunch of other shit, which is why they made cho southern and lav asian

[@HelloXrancidkitteh]

@@gooel yes, but they were poking fun at the racial undertones to the books surrounding Cho Chang. in the actual performance, Ginny greets Lavender Brown ( who is played by a girl who is Asian ), greeting her as Cho, but then Ron stops her by saying "That's Lavender Brown! racist sister!". its suppose to sound like its racist but its actually just a misdirect to point out the problematic writing surrounding the character in the books. it was the whole point of the joke.

[@Ryan_hey]

@@HelloXrancidkitteh Exactly. AVPM makes fun of the stereotyping that exists within HP; they aren't the source of it their selves.

[@evilpansy]

Love how Joey changed the words to compliment Hermione

[@emo6577]

Ah yes. The tallest singer sharing a mic with the smallest one (that lean Joey has to do was hilarious)

[@BradyisAwesome20]

First time watching this. “This part is tricky because it’s a little racist.” Bruh I’m dead 😂

[@HelloXrancidkitteh]

lol especially out of context, without the acting inbetween, they only could do the song part of Cho and friends entrance so that he can sing Cedric's part. its why Darren suggested people to watch the musical to get context and get the joke.

[@katelyn_7509]

“Feel the sneers and hear the glares” “Off to a great start” *i love Darren lol*

[@annabethgranger]

Can we focus for a second on the fact that the person who was recording this didn't sing along to them, and the only thing we can hear them say is "TO GRYFFINDOR!"? Because I think that's hilarious, like "okay okay okay, I can't sing because I want the recording to be as focused on their voices as possible, but here comes my house so I HAVE TO DO IT"😂 #gryffindorpride ❤️

[@nat6927]

This is almost a decade after the play came out and they're still performing this song!! I love it 😂😂

[@antoninatheloser9011]

A decade in two days!

[@Benji767]

12 years

[@bailey9947]

Darren's face at 1:40 perfectly conveys "oh hey you know the lyrics! haha do i even need to sing? eh, i'll still do it anyway"

[@ztslovebird]

Thank you for sharing this! It's so sweet that Darren always tries to contextualize his Starkid stuff in case someone in the audience has no idea what's going on.

[@headofathousandsheepswool]

If you think I know the entire song plus dialogue by heart you are absolutely correct.
