You can see in his face how much he misses this, and how much he enjoys getting to perform Starkid stuff.

[@marken1294]

"Should I skip this middle part?" "NO!" Silly Darren, like we could ever want less of your singing. This makes me so happy.

[@luvsthespotlight]

"Hermione, you're such a buzz kill" - he didn't sound like he meant that. He sounded like he was seducing her.

[@camillerasch6245]

luvsthespotlight everything he says is like he's seducing someone

[@claire_dyment2301]

okay but the audience was harmonizing??

[@theanimeidiot8903]

i know ive tried learning the other parts, and trying to do only Ron or Harry's or Hermione's part, so it's no surprise the audience harmonized because it's good to know the other parts. love how Darren ends up not doing his part for the chorus though. he actually had the harmony. but can't blame him, it's been so long

[@MisterAppleEsq]

@@theanimeidiot8903 I mean, for a performance like this it makes sense for the one performer to be singing the melody the whole time, so it was probably intentional.

[@migata]

I could be wrong but I think they were doing Darren’s part so that kinda explains it

[@janamaderova548]

I think it was Darren harmonizing and the audience was singing the melody

[@CassidyParkerKnight]

I love the way he starts laughing when he gets to the hidden swimming pool line :)

[@HungerGames0012]

I like that everyone was respectively just listening to him play and he said "you guys can sing along if you want"

[@igotVoldemortsnose]

I love how many people in the audience know the lyrics :)

[@hadley_lord]

i love how he changes the voice or acts differently depending on the character... especially on the cho chang part, cedric, goyle and malfoy :)

[@gracemarcus2788]

@Alana Worsfold 😂✋ ofc

[@psychedelia4831]

I love the fact that he is smiling all the time and starts laughing, it makes me be smiling like an idiot omg he's so freacking cute it makes me wanna scream ahaha *-*

[@katiesimpson7982]

The way he starts off - "This is gonna be so hard...I can't believe I'm doing this" lol Darren's so humble. It's okay to forget the lyrics - it's a looooonng song, and they weren't all his lyrics in the first place anyway! I'm amazed that he could play through the whole thing on guitar. I would've been forgetting chords all over the place!

[@elmo2488]

They're not? I thought he wrote all the lyrics and music for AVPM? Guess not

[@katiesimpson7982]

Well, yes, I guess in that sense they are his lyrics. I meant that he didn't sing them all in the show. I should have said they weren't all Harry's lyrics!

[@elmo2488]

Ah got what you meant now :) I love love this preformance, mistakes and all

[@Mishy82193]

hes so multi-talented someone punch me

Michelle O RIGHT?!? Actor, singer, dancer, plays the guitar, plays the piano, and is freaking adorable!!!

[@kat_lover8345]

Punch

[@haileew.9478]

i feel like darren forgets his lyrics on purpose because he knows we think its adorable

[@cordeliapalmer5800]

I don’t know. He seems like far too genuine a person than to do that, to me.

[@charlottehiggins3460]

Yess

[@brittanyBSBbabe]

With him forgetting some of the lyrics, in his defense, it is a really long song with a lot of stuff going on during it. Also, since it is a group song, he can't be penelized for not knowing everyone else's lines. With that being said, he totally rocked this song out of the park, straight into pigfarts! This little, dorky fanboy is totally awesome! :)

[@brittanyBSBbabe]

Same. Haha. It's the same with any Starkid show as well! Haha

[@DavidHowell09]

Even though he wrote it 😂

[@debbiejennings1320]

I love being able to see Darren looking so happy while he sings his Going Back to Hogwarts song. He sings more from his Harry Potter Musical and the audience knows all the words & sings with him. You can tell this makes Darren ever more happy. ♡ He's such a sweetheart.

[@carolinepastilha2425]

AHHHH THEY ALL START SINGING ALONG WHEN HE SAYS THEY CAN THATS EHAKDJAJA ADORABLE

[@jfreed91]

"welcome- and he holds that note for five minutes- i welcome all of you to hogwarts." haha! i love his narration too. its so funny that it sounds like only like half of the crowd even knows what the hell's going on. that's so great! :D

[@HyGCasiAngeles]

This is like the most perfect video ever... Darren playing and singing 'back to hogwarts' + Darren messing uo and forgeting the lyrics +... just Darren hahaha

[@ItsCammiMe]

Darren always messes up, that's kinda his thing. Mostly in this song, because it's 7 minutes long and has lots of lyrics with the same melody. He usually sings it with the starkids, it must be hard doing the whole song by himself. Don't be so hard on him.

[@MelyssaHawes]

“man i’m glad i’m back” gives me chills every time

[@elmo2488]

this is such a fun version. i feel like he's just going with it and playing it up and doing his thang

[@sweet16913]

I love the fact that he forgets lyrics when sober...but remembers them while drunk.... Love him.

[@llkkjjm1]

this should be a one man show. he does all the characters with perfection.

[@shacharmargalit3808]

[@prettylittlegleeks1]

That beeping from 0.40 - 0.45 is my heart. Notice it stops. It comes back for a while at 1.30 then stops again. His supermegafoxyawesomehot-ness killed me and brought me back to life. Multiple times.
