A heads up about the third musical if you dont already know: The third musical was performed at a Harry Potter fan convention and was initially planned as a staged reading but escalated into a performance, but they had less than 48 hours to rehearse and most still have their scripts. Darren was also busy with Glee so he got less than 5 hours rehearsal before performing and his mic wasn’t working so the audio is a bit iffy. It’s a fantastic show tho and the biggest audience they’ve ever had!

[@EK_Beast]

Yeah I still wish they could somehow come together to do it with a full production... but money and they any charge for tickets due to the fact they don’t own the rights to Harry Potter... but still love it so much.

[@Predated2]

@@EK_Beast You can charge tickets for a parody show, but it has to be done without using direct original content. So no actors from the original, no props from the original, no decor from the original. You're probably thinking about DBZA or Yugioh Abridged since those are the most famous parodies of a show, but both shows dont use original drawings for 99.999% of their production. Thats why they cannot be monetized directly.

[@marystombaugh2282]

Never over how that opening song just ramps up the energy right away. really impressive for such a young group.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

Well Darren DID say that AJ Holmes is practically a Virtuoso.

[@jazzycat8917]

Fair warning: the 3rd one isn't a full production, i can't remember exactly what happened but they weren't able to do a complete show so they did basically a costumed reading at a convention in Chicago. The cast had about 2 days to learn it, and Darren Criss only had about 5 hours so a ton of people are still reading off scripts but Its still really funny and a great send off for the series. Just don't expect production value like this one.

@@gecegezgini8187 Darren's mic not recording is annoying af，but the senior year finale still has awesome songs and an interesting story made up from different chunks of the books. Plus it's got characters actually writing fanfiction

[@rockysandman5489]

Darren Criss was inbetween shooting Glee or whatever, and most of the other Starkids also had tight schedueles due to having their own conflicting commitments, it was like a miracle for them all to clear off their scheduels for those few days at LeakyCon. Only a few days before the show was when almost all of them wound up there together, a few of them coming within a day of eachother, only to learn from the producers/writers (Brolden and the Lang brothers) that they're gonna stage this production with proper acting and costumes, as opposed to the proper reading that was originally planned. It was still in Darren's mind that they're just gonna do a normal reading, sitting together onstage and reading from the script with minimal acting, props or costumes. Darren only found out that they're staging it on the day he arrived, which was a few hours before the show itself. The Starkids had only a few days to learn their scripts, some having a bit more time than others, depending on the day they arrived. Joe Walker seems to have had significantly more time than the others, despite messing up once, he is onstage without a script more than anyone else there. Darren on the other hand, had only a few hours to learn his lines, and he was practically learning it as the show went on, and he managed to nail it throughout. As an actor, he's a fucking legend. As for production value, there's not much difference between AVPSY and AVPM, the only major difference is that in AVPSY they are reading from their scripts, while full-on acting, costumed, props and all, like in AVPM.

The thing about the 3rd one is they wrote it and never expected t to be performed because they graduated and moved forward. Then Leaky Con invited them to come and do a performance, so they decided to see who they could get back and the whole cast was able to come back for 3 days, so they planned to do just a reading of the 3rd musical. Then people started saying they were bringing costumes, and they realized they had a bunch in storage... and slowly they said what if we tried to perform the show? They ended up doing the show with some minor mishaps as they only had everyone for 3 days, and it was more of a read through with scripts as the whole cast had a script with them at all times due to the short amount of time to do the show. But they did an amazing job I just always wonder what it would look like had they been able to perform it in full. Also bonus while at leaky con they got the real Luna to play Luna in it for them.

@@whitenoisereacts Fun fact! One of Meredith Stepien's ex boyfriends was a HUGE Lord of The Rings fan! She's seen the movie many times :)

[@merrenrose]

I been waitin for this one! Turn it up! ✨✨

[@Ash-verity]

I hope this gets you guys into starkid and watching more shows there is something special about their shows man idk

[@jenniferri7735]

THE SOUND I JUST MADE WHEN I SAW THIS OMG

[@KitsyX]

The third one isn't a full on production... It was like a special thing they put together quickly for a convention, so they're still reading scripts and such... However, it's still great fun to watch. But yeah, I forgot there was a Spiderman thing in this one too lol. It's been a while... Sadly the girl playing Hermione doesn't come back, except for the special anniversary thing they did recently. Meredith does a good job taking over though.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Awww...she was my favorite part!!

[@Ballin4Vengeance]

Also… Evanna Lynch as Luna

[@Andjelka99]

Finally. You reacted to sequel. Can't wait for Senior year... I think this one is my favourite, personally the best songs, the best jokes (I mean the elf reveal, enough said), I love it

[@cecilialeitet2794]

I agree. The best songs are i AVPS and in Starship (my personal favorite). The only one I feel can truly compete is Holy Musical B@tman and maybe 2 songs in Twisted.

[@scribblypuns2577]

nick lang as mama umbridge is still one of my favorite starkid performances of all time😂😂😂

[@coffeeandchaos_2456]

Rita Skeeter is actually played by the same actress who plays Ginny

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

I haven’t watched this since middle school but I remember all the words to all the songs 😭

[@georges0389]

Just found this channel and I CAN'T WAIT to see your reaction to the 3rd one, I feel like it gets less attention than the other two, but it has some of the best character moments and goes right into the feels! (while still being funny of course!)

[@scribblypuns2577]

HOW did starkid predict lego batman, batman v superman, cursed child, the breaking of the elder wand, etc???

[@ash-fz3tw]

Would you guys ever do a non-potter star kid reaction? Tragically, there are only a handful of reactions to anything starkid, and I love how into it you guys got! (If so, I’d recommend twisted next maybe?)

[@vpersona177]

yo totally forgot the whole UmbridgexCentaur stuff that went down in the books and kinda movies cuz in the book when she was rescued from the centaurs she was traumatized as hell lololololol So I guess its canon

[@Quirderph]

It is based on an actual fan theory.

[@Samael1302]

Severus snape showing for the first time Me: SNAPE SNAPE SEVERUS SNAPE SNAPE SNAPE SEVERUS SNAPE

[@jess__rodriguez]

1:47:27 is literally my favorite number Idk why I just love how they did the music!!!

[@JessicaBiilor]

I had a great day but this just put the BIGGEST grin on my face. So excited for you to see these musicals!

[@fawkesontheroll8594]

Fun fact: The Taylor Lautner poster was actually supposed to be taken down in the script but got stuck so the whole scene about it being "stuck with magic" and in "every room" was improvised by Ron and Harry's actor

[@radxianixe]

actually i'm pretty sure it was meant to come across as it getting stuck so they have to improv, but in the script it actually isn't supposed to come off because it's where peter pettigrew came from. they just wanted to make it look like an accident and like they were playing it off with those comments, but it was meant to stay there.

[@strawberrylemlime4447]

I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, but the actress for Draco and the actor for Ron are an actual couple!

[@kiki8792]

They are too cute i explode every time I see them together

[@pb779]

Ron and Snape’s bromance is everything

[@Bored.and.slaying]

i FIND that lucius looks alot like cedric diggory

[@nerdfightercommenter6969]

For some context for the last song, the performers were in their senior year and they were sort of saying good bye.

[@lux279]

So excited to see the sequel!! I absolutely love that you're doing this series! This is so nostalgic in the best way and it's incredible to hear your thoughts on these productions! If you haven't seen Starship yet, it is my personal favorite and I'd recommend, even if you don't do a reaction video on it! I think it's a fun parody of Star Trek and sci fi. Thank you for doing this reaction! Hope you both have a great day!

[@ladypool1404]

This musical is hilarious especially Umbridge. She is scary and so entertaining and her romance with Albus is funny 😂Her song '' You were never my lover. '' is great too!

[@loopkill]

Can't wait for you to enjoy all the feels in A Very Potter Senior Year!!! That one is definitely my favorite!

[@idontknow1356]

thank you for reacting to this! it's one of my favourite fan films. it feels like I'm watching it with friends while watching this :)

[@kemipue]

Your binge of other musicals Dylan has been in, did they include some of the other Starkid productions? If you haven’t already checked them out, I would recommend watching more. One of the musicals they did around the same time as Harry Potter (and one of my favourites) is Starship- very creative, very funny, and great music- Dylan is outstanding in it!

[@HeadDetectiveLassie]

Whoop! I was looking forward to this! An excuse to watch this again AND see other people react to it! Solid.

[@CoryMonteithSuperFan]

thank you sm for doing this!! I was hoping y’all would I’m so hyped

[@BeybladeXpro]

Harry: oh they died because of your giant horse dong, Ron: [Trips on the floor laughing]. That was my favorite part of the entire musical

[@runevancraywinkel426]

I saw another reaction to this musical a little week ago and in two weeks I'm watching someone else react to this and I just love watching it hahaha seeing people react is the most fun thing

[@avadyer8599]

It was weird not hearing Kick It Up a Knotch after It's Not Over Yet bc of the Rogues Meledy

[@brooklynwilkes3528]

I love the rogues medley from apocalyptour
