Goin' Back To Hogwarts (A Very Potter Musical) - Darren Criss & Starkid - Elsie Fest 2015

[@하양이-u4i]

ok but i love that to the fandom these characters are JUST as iconic as the actual film and book actors/characters

[@Siegfried1917]

AS iconic? You mean MORE iconic!

[@charliesmith6510]

It's more iconic tbh

[@SweenyTodd98]

Not sure what's weirder, seeing Lauren perform this while not dressed as Draco, or seeing her just walk out normally during this song.

[@joelledieduksman]

both. both is good.

[@Ozloz]

I dont know what’s weirder, Lauren doing that or Sweeney Todd talking about it

[@kaivdm04]

Juist imagine not having seen avpm and being in the audience

[@slumpsalot]

Well first imagine not watching AVPM... wtf

[@taylorswiftharrystyles]

And just watching all of these nerds singing in union lol

[@TarunoNafs]

And got especially confused by the part about a hidden swimming pool at Elsie Fest.

[@sierraestrellita]

Darren pointing to himself for Hotties Nerds and Tools is a big old mood and I love him

[@blueberryghostz]

it's so cute

[@JuliaSanJuan349]

I mean he did write a song (Harry) about how attractive he is so… SLAYY

[@blubikbeneenvis276]

Why is No one talking about how Joey and Meredith are absolutely jamming when Lauren nails that solo

[@MD-ie2dh]

"This one takes us back to the other school that I never went to"

[@jessali_]

Omg, it's so WEIRD to see Lauren as Draco and NOT LOOK LIKE DRACO. I love this so much!!!

[@lenap319]

I love how they still do the weird train choreo

[@rachelt4274]

I hope these guys are still doing this when they're fifty. I'll still be sitting here, crying happy tears. :')

[@alaneehuber3861]

😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@leahflower1067]

Anyone else kind of upset that Lauren didn't do the rockstar sign when she said it's going to be totally awesome in her Draco solo

[@caitpretzel2076]

If you didn't sing your Hogwarts house when the time came, you should be ashamed. SLYTHERIN PRIDE!!!!

[@IssyJRXH]

It makes me so happy that Darren has friends who are just as hyper as him

[@365saturdays]

I was absolutely obsessed with avpm (and then starkid) in eighth grade. Now I'm about to finish my first semester of college, and I still know all of the words. So many damn emotions

[@cougarlips]

+365saturdays you and i are in the same boat, then! i got into it in the 8th grade through a classmate who loved harry potter as much as i did, and i was going through a really rough patch of depression. it's finals week of my first semester of college and i'm rediscovering my love for all of it, and now i can fully enjoy it :')))

[@bethreid9444]

365saturdays same I havent listened to this in 5 years and I know every word

[@jodiebrian9343]

365saturdays I'm 12 I started watching 2-3 months ago they are now officially my life

[@CopperBarr]

So how did college go?

[@masterizzy3]

I’m in 8th grade rn!!! How was college??

[@1channy4ever]

Starkid was such a huge part of my high school years, and watching this brought back so many memories, of the early years of the fandom. It's so emotional watching this

[@Julia-qv5ls]

Totally awesome...how many people caught that at the end of Darren's Golden Globe speech

[@barbaraweasley4138]

Yesss meeee

[@hithere5491]

Yas it was amazing

[@BigDieselUMD07]

What did he do?

[@Julia-qv5ls]

@@BigDieselUMD07 He said "This is Totally Awesome" at the end of his Golden Globe speech as a nod to Starkid. Then at the Emmys he said "Go Blue" at the end for Michigan. That clip is now a part of the hype film they show before every home football game.

[@miatyae5447]

Meredith's dress is life goals.

[@thehpfangirl1054]

St first I was like: WHERE IS DRACO? then I realised Lauren played him. I was looking for Tom Felton

[@6idiotslover2711]

Lauren is best draco XD

[@annakarmarkkristensen3622]

This. This is amazeing.

[@mar-rv2qb]

when lauren came on and just owned it 😍😍😍

[@6idiotslover2711]

She can own anything TBH she is a literal queen

[@Jess-ux1wv]

The original cast need to FIND avpm and watch it altogther

[@olivetheother2745]

JESS AND TABBY Do I have some good news for you 😋 Look up Team Starkid's KZbin account, they did a huge Google hangout together!!

[@Jess-ux1wv]

Olive the Other cool thanks x

[@ireallylikeyourmom]

Knowing the Harry Potter cast most would totally do that

[@gaberoa3523]

Jess we need the original cast to recreate every single song and scene

[@lainiesmith8155]

I FIND that to be a good idea

[@AlicexAngel]

I’m kind of sad she doesn’t go DID SOMEBODY SAY DRACO MALFOY? because honestly that part is just as iconic as the song itself 😩

[@6idiotslover2711]

Its honestly more iconic lmao

[@meganelizabeth4224]

I love that Jeff is just chilling there cause he only joined in vpsy

[@6idiotslover2711]

Amd rachael was just there cuz she joined in twisted

[@onesecondsniff5840]

It's so weird that this song brings the same nostalgia of the books somehow??! it gave me goosebumps and it just makes me really happy for some reason, is it the same for anyone else?

[@kikig3165]

Kinda wish darren said "Man I'm glad I'm back" :'/

[@caitpretzel2076]

Yeah, I agree, Or "man I'm glad We're back."

[@ast1867]

The thing that I love the most about Darren is that no matter how famous he gets and how many roles he gets and how many people know him, he is always, first and foremost, a starkid. It makes me so happy to see them all together again. (I was so sad that we didn't get to see Bonnie... the new girl doesn't hold a candle)

[@goodjobeli]

meredith is amazing in her own roles (like firebringer) but I miss bonnie

[@idk-qs8ft]

For me Meredith is AMAZING and has an incredible voice (Firebringer, for example), but Bonnie was a way better Hermione. Still, she stopped up to a character that already existed, and that is very brave from her. Btw, I found out she is an original Starkid too, but worked behind the scenes at the beginning.

[@urbfffatima]

@@idk-qs8ft she's been in starkid since the beginning. She was in the white lies show they had which one of the first projects they did. Bonnie is bonnie, but meredith is so great too.

[@l.7282]

phoenix 1018 good news then. Bonnie will be back for Starkid Homecoming!

[@thecapsulecapture7102]

Some Crazed Nerd what was Meredith in firebringer?

[@Nevyn1003]

hysterical. sobbing.

[@apexandrea]

I am crying. How is that this has gotten better than the original?!

[@joshuaholt3793]

Lots of practice and many performances

[@nox3783]

I love dylan's entrance every time and I love how he changes it to make the audience feel special i'm-

[@vikramc7977]

Everyone's talking about Lauren not looking like Draco, but who's obsessed with Joe walker here?

[@BTtimmyjim]

ME

[@starbird6]

I absolutely adore how much fun it’s clear they’re having

[@leilanyx]

StarKid has been a massive part of my life these past few months. I've never laughed so much or loved a song so much. I've adored Darren and his vocals and his acting skills - I was introduced to him first by Glee (THANK YOU NANA FOR FORCING ME TO WATCH GLEE AND MAKING ME LOVE IT.) Although AVPM/AVPS/AVPSY are the only musicals I've watched properly. But I still think you're all "totally awesome" ( ;) ). "It's great to come back to where we began" is so funny because they're basically coming back to where they began. Love them all.

[@caitpretzel2076]

Don't you mean "totally awesome"?

[@leilanyx]

+cait etzel edited that in, damn should've thought of that bf hand XD

[@miatyae5447]

MAN IM GLAD YOU DID THAT SONG TOO, DARREN

[@JordanVanRyn]

This was back when the Harry Potter Fandom days were at their peak in creating memorable shows like A Very Potter Musicals. Starkid is very much a part of my heart and I thank them for the memories.

I have the biggest, dumbest smile on my face and I’m on the verge of tears. I’m a very new StarKid fan. Since last month I’ve seen 7 of their musicals and haven’t watched Senior Year yet. This video still brought me sheer unbridled joy.

[@annahalbert7281]

im on a musical binge and now I’m emotional at 1:47 AM

[@kharris2393]

I know Starkid had already done much more by this point, so it's just so amazing of them to perform this old favorite and give it so much energy and commitment!

[@El-yo2jq]

Starkid are a huge part of my life. They may seem like just a theatre group from Michigan but they are SO MUCH MORE. It’s annoying though, because I live in the UK so none of my friends know who they are. I will never be able to sit down fangirl about Joey, Lauren and Joe. I will never be able to make Starkid references and people actually get them. I will never meet them. BUT they help me and everyone in the Fandom through a lot. So thank you Team Starkid.
