The Mirror of Erised effect is achieved by using a type of woven material called a skrim. When lit only from the front, the material is opaque, but when it's lit from the back, it's translucent, giving everything behind it a dreamy look. It's an old-school theatrical special effect.

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.

[@KristallOjeda]

Also, the tie was apaid actor 😅

[@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.

[@whitenoisereacts]

No worries, I’m still excited!!

[@mznerdtheories]

Don't forget they managed to get Evanna Lynch to join them as Luna because that's the kind of awesome she is.

[@gecegezgini8187]

[@explodingplant2]

@@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.

Fun fact: Someone from the Red Vines company had a daughter that was a HUGE Starkid fan, which is why he approached Starkid with boxes of Red Vines to use as “pseudo-product placement”. After A Very Potter Sequel, Joey Richter (Ron) and Joe Walker (Voldemort/Umbridge) did a series of promotional skits on the teamRedVines KZbin channel. The series is called “Tasty Tests”, and it’s definitely got that early Starkid charm to it.

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.

Yooooo I legit just found you guys cuz of the first musical and I’m so excited for this. Thank you!

[@whitenoisereacts]

We’ll stick around. We got a ton of cool stuff coming ;)

[@scribblypuns2577]

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

[@brennasinclair]

I’ve fallen in love with y’all personality and comments. So glad I found you guys!

[@whitenoisereacts]

Well thank you so much!!

[@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

[@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

[@Samael1302]

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

[@madisonboris1434]

Do you guys think you’ll ever react to other starkid musicals?

[@whitenoisereacts]

Tbh I binged a bunch of them off camera, but we’ll finish the Harry Potter ones and see

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@@whitenoisereacts Your friend's initial reactions would still be worth it, though.

[@Ash-verity]

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

[@30goals]

oh my god sorry for spamming just commenting as I go along - YOURE DOING LORD OF THE RINGS TOO????? OH MY GOD you guys are on a roll I truly feel blessed.

[@baguettegott3409]

Yeah, I'm like... addicted to watching LotR reactions on youtube. So even though that's not what I came to this channel for, I'm definitely staying for that!

[@whitenoisereacts]

Um...yeah!!! LOTR is only like the best film series of all time!

[@kiki8792]

@@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 :)

[@pb779]

Ron and Snape’s bromance is everything

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@merrenrose]

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

[@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

[@kbear0614]

please tell me im not the only one who notices the last scene sirius and remus kissed

[@elmtree9951]

I've never noticed that before 🥺 my little wolfstar heart

[@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!)

[@JessicaBiilor]

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

[@CoryMonteithSuperFan]

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

[@nerdfightercommenter6969]

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

[@LittleMissFeck]

I think you'd enjoy other Starkid Musicals as well. Twisted is just great and The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is soooo deep and funny. 🙌🏻

[@strawbrry7464]

Omg soo excited you decided to watch the sequel!! I first got introduced to your channel from your "A Very Potter Musical" reaction.😊

[@corneliastreet2491]

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

[@CS-zv1ql]

The 3rd one is brilliant too and definitely worth a watch but it was a really last minute thing so most of the cast are holding scripts during it! Also Darren criss (Harry) was shooting glee and only flew in the day before the show I think so he barely had any time to rehearse with the rest of the cast!

[@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?)

[@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

[@misterroboto9999]

Can you believe Darren Criss is mainstream famous now?

[@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!

[@alejandrothevillain2097]

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

[@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!
