I get shivers all over my body whenever I hear the chorus: "Back to witches and wizards, and magical beasts". Growing up with HP, that just strikes a string. "What is Ron eating?" His lunch, actually. The actor hadn't eaten all day, and showed up with takeaway to eat during intervals. Somebody suggested he should just eat in on stage, because he's playing Ron, after all.

She didn't know me yet. I got **Neville.** 🤣

Honestly, the jokes are SO silly, they really aren't that deep, but we all remember them and quote them. It was an Era when fan-created content (other than fanfics and fanart) didn't really exist. The HP puppets were doing their thing, then this whole play dropped. It poked fun at itself, was funny, and had catchy songs. Most hard-core HP fans have seen it at least once.

[@this.is.a.username]

What the hell is a Hufflepuff?

[@mc_lara2230]

Not sure if anyone's said this before but this musical sort of takes the best and worst traits of the characters and exaggerates it. So Harry is pretty conceited and Ron is a bit of a dick and Hermione is an insufferable know it all. And Draco is severely melodramatic. It's unironically true to their characters, albeit out of proportion.

[@mc_lara2230]

And the whole Cedric thing stems from the "hufflepuffs are particularly good finders" at the beginning of the movie. It's an inside joke that became so iconic that some people forget it's not cannon.

[@QuibbleTrouble]

This is the correct place to watch it. At the time they uploaded these KZbin didn't work well with long videos, which is probably why they did it like this in a playlist. When they post their newer musicals they're single videos.

[@AnxietyRat]

Yeah, back then on KZbin there was video time limits. I think there still are ...but people now have the ability to post much much much longer videos now then back in 2009. Back then it was 10 minutes and that's it... nobody could post more than a 10 minute video.

[@QuibbleTrouble]

@@AnxietyRat Current limit is 12 hours I think

[@Kris-496]

Hello! Starkid started out at University of Michigan. Cedric saying find & Draco rolling on the floor are just things they thought were funny to do. The 3 shows cover all the books eventually. Also Draco and Ron got married in real life.

[@joanapereira8011]

Yap, also Hermione (not this one but from the next shows) and Lupin haha

[@leilanyx]

this could just be hearsay but i heard lauren/draco fell in rehearsals and then just kept acting out the scene and they just kept it in bc they found it funny, aha.

[@kilian-one-l]

The Cho Chang thing I'm pretty sure is a dig at She Who Must Not Be Named's racism (Cho and Chang are both last names)

[@olivernisbet1120]

i'm pretty sure the story behind lauren's performance of draco is that she genuinely tripped early on, and then commited to it as a character choice HARD

[@brianalambert1192]

I still find it amazing that a bunch of college kids came together with $150 (which even back then was not that much) and gave us this clever parody complete with musical numbers (three times mind you!) and yet big budget studios can't tell a decent story anymore. i also think that some of the jokes in here are beyond subtle. Like the way that Harry Potter acts like a meathead jock; it's exactly like how Snape and Draco think Harry Potter acts. Or Draco rolling over all over the set. It's Draco trying to be dramatic and get some Loreal magazine poses because Draco's a drama queen. Or Ron being a complete jerk to Hermione, a) that's exactly how the fanbase viewed Ron for a time and b) this is the trope of the guy who's a jerk and gets the girl anyway. Cho Chang being a sexy Southern Belle, Cedric being the gorgeous but dimwitted guy that Harry has to compete with, Ginny being the awkward girl with a huge crush on Harry. Point is that the actors are taking the character's negative features, exaggerating them for comedy and then applying the traditional teen movie stereotypes. It really is what would have happened if the movies were made by an American movie company trying to cater to the "hip teen" crowd. And yes, High School Musical was popular at the time and I 100% believe that the cast were intentionally parodying it along with Harry Potter. They also have a habit of quoting a bunch of other things from the time. I caught an Aladdin line, an Avatar the Last Airbender line, and a Ghostbusters line but I have to believe there were more

[@krissmith800]

I totally agree with your points. Also, it is true that Team StarKid members are admitted nerds (as in they admit it and own the fact) which is why there are references to different things. In this one there is a reference from Jurassic Park and the Batman franchise, not to mention allusions to The Lord of the Rings and others down the road. The fact that so many references exist is totally awesome and a staple to Team StarKid's work.

[@krissmith800]

Another thing I wanted to mention, which is not talked about enough is that we must realize when this was released. It got uploaded to YT in 2009, but was in the works in 2008-2009. When looking at the movie release dates, the musical came our between Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince. That means that some of the information they used had to have come from the books (as well as their own minds) instead of being fully influenced by the films. I FIND this to be an interesting fact that many fail to spotlight, which makes Team StarKid's final result so impressive.

[@joeypotter6051]

Pretty sure that the hidden swimming pool line is a "Hackers" reference.

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

[@meba444]

So, you did miss the Cedric-saying-find-all-the-time joke 😅 at 17:30 Cedric establishes the joke, and then (in Starkid fashion) run the joke into the ground so hard that it comes back around to being funny 😂 Also, they’re not high school students! They were all going to the University of Michigan and were in the performing arts program 😊

[@VeggieGamer]

Naturally the audio is pretty old on this video, so can be pretty loud and quiet in parts! Hope the Subtitles make this a bit better! :)

[@adamkennedy4340]

Hey veggie! You should start a reaction to the Netflix show The Sandman. It has an actor in it you like from the Hobbit. Plus it's a really good show

[@joeypotter6051]

the audio was never good but the subtitles do help -- that and I have most of the show memorised at this point

[@RLucas3000]

1) They did THREE Potter musicals, so amazing! 2) Before they did Potter, they did LotR, and of course the tall wonderful actor who played Goyle plays Gandalf, but only a couple of short clips were preserved as far as I know 3) after leaving college, they’ve created many hilarious musicals worth watching. If you like Batman, watch that after the 3 Potter musicals.

[@noaaa7]

Keep the subtitles on! They didn't have mics for this musical, but they have them in the sequels.

[@bramijdema759]

I love this series! Glad you started it! Don’t worry, the ‘find’ joke is not a reference to the books in any way. It was supposed to be a b-plot where Cedric would actually be good at finding stuff which would be crucial to the plot and make Harry respect Cedric more, but they cut most of it aside from his iconic catchphrase. I think it’s a parody on how fans make up stupid facts to make their favorite groups or characters more interesting(fanon)

[@montanarose-sings]

The thing you need to remember about some of the jokes in this show is that it was made in 2009, which was very much the height of the tumblr "lolz so random" humor era. So some of the jokes are inside jokes between the cast (who were college friends and remain close to this day; they've done a musical almost every year since this first one, and they just keep getting better and better!) and some are basically just thrown in there to be random, and have become iconic over the years. I'm not exaggerating when I say that for a huge number of Harry Potter fans, the Very Potter Trilogy is just as beloved to them as the books or films. The holy trinity of HP content. ⚡️

[@krissmith800]

I am so happy you are watching this musical. Others may have touched on it, but a few things that hopefully help are that Lavender is indeed Gryffindor, but they put the three girls all in blue Ravenclaw ties to help with the mistaken identity joke. In later Potter musicals I am pretty sure it is fixed and she is wearing the Gryffindor colors. It was just a subtle detail that helped that joke. As for Cedric's FIND, it is just a nuance they give the character that pays off later. I will refrain from spoiling anything, but Team StarKid is known for planting seeds that come back later on. Plus, "Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders" is just a great quote. As for Draco's movements, Lauren Lopez (the girl who plays him) was brainstorming with the writers and stuff about how to make Draco memorable, and they were messing around with her rolling on the floor. They liked the idea that Draco has the inability to control anything including what his body does which can be seen in him failing to stay upright. Thus, it became part of his character here. However, I liked your thought on him being drunk . . . too much Butterbeer. Anyway, I hope that helps and can't wait for more. After this one, there is A Very Potter Sequel and A Very Potter Senior Year (which is done at LeakyCon so they have scripts). If you like their style, maybe you may keep going through their catalogue of shows. Great reaction as always. Can't wait for the next.

[@BasilLecher]

Well, he would be very weak to butterbeer, familial-wise.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@Kris Shepard I believe Draco rolling around on the floor, canonically, is how Starkid represents Draco's inability to dance like Lucius. Basically it's Draco's approximation of dancing. I also believe this is largely rectified by the end of Sequel to justify Lauren not rolling around a lot in Sequel and Senior Year like she does in AVPM. I also believe that part of the canon reason behind Draco rolling around could be tied into revelations about Draco in Sequel which I will not mention here and would urge others to not mention so as not to spoil it for @Veggie Gamer.

[@krissmith800]

@@ForeverDegenerate Yes. It was mentioned about Draco's inability or failure to do things properly. As you mentioned, he wanted to be like Lucius, but it wasn't successful. That's what I meant about not fully controlling his body. That's all I will say for now before accidentally spoiling anything.

[@Miroslava_Ivanova]

The only thing I dislike about this video is that it covered such a small part, I can't wait for more!

[@hphannah]

It's very nice with the subtitles thank you!!! And the "find" thing is that Cedric said pretty early "Hufflepuffs are particularly good FINDERS!" And Dumbledore responded "What the hell is a Hufflepuff?!". So that's what the "find" joke is referencing 😅

[@duckydash13]

I wrote a dissertation on this musical and a couple of others that Starkid made ("Twisted" and "The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals") as my main final project for university - the perks of being a music student instead of studying something actually useful! I'm looking forward to your reaction to the rest of this, and if you ever decided to take a look into some of Starkid's non-HP musicals, I would definitely be interested to see what you think of them

[@joeypotter6051]

Twisted is my fave!

[@AlinaAniretake]

oh not sure about those two... Cause you know... R-one...

[@TheLoonyLovebad1]

There are three musicals, so if you are upset about a missing character or plot point, they will likely show up in the later shows

[@Katie-mb8zj]

There are actually 2 Hufflepuffs. The other one is sitting right next to Cedric on the bench in the opening Great Hall scene and will later play a very important death eater. The only one who sticks with a “British” accent is Draco (Voldemort and Snape keep whatever voice it is they are doing), everyone else loses it at some point if they had it at all. You have all the major players for this one (save our death eater friend who comes in later), but there will be other characters that show up in the sequels.

[@annabelgodwin4862]

What a surprise to see this - really hope you’ll continue! It’s been a while but I think I remember reading that the only reason they uploaded it to KZbin at all was because it was the easiest way to share it with family and friends. Obviously it completely snowballed from there, rather unexpectedly on their part! Hope you’re enjoying it anyway, despite some humour that certainly shows it was meant for an audience of uni/college students! :) Edit: Oh and thought I’d also mention that the guy who plays Harry collaboratively wrote all the songs and lyrics, though not the script. Just a little fun fact!

I love it so much because it's a very self aware HEAVYLY Americanized fratboy parody version of Harry Potter. It's a huge joke that has a lot of subtle heart under it, for as cheesy as the songs are they're also so earnest in their sincerity.

[@CartoonJessie]

You might wanna check out other Starkid musicals as well... They're all hilarious and so well crafted. Holy Musical Batman and Twisted are great parodies. (Twisted gives Aladdin the 'wicked' treatment.) But they've also got some original stories since then, like The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, which is probably their best musical in terms of pacing/worldbuilding. Anyways, Starkid is fantastic, do not sleep on them.

[@TriStain69]

YEAHHHHH Starkid's musicals are AMAZING You should definitely check out A Very Potter Sequel and A Very Potter Senior Year (Senior Year only exists as a staged play reading where they have scripts in hand, but is still very good). And if you end up liking this style of show, Starkid's other musicals are ALSO incredibly good and hilarious

Both their parodies/works based on already existing material and their original things are just brilliant. They have this really neat ability of making things uniquely their own. And watching people get confused and then inevitably fall in love with this crazily creative group is one of my favourite things ever. Hope ypu enjoy the rest of the show! Quirrel and Voldy storyline is probably my favourite thing about their HP universe, though it's really hard to choose from all their fun little details and character ideas. p.s. You are in for a treat, considering the High School Musical comparisons you drew here! Looking forward for the next parts!

I freaking love a very potter musical and its prequel. I forgot how much of a banger that main theme is! Always used to get stuck in my head. I haven’t watched this in years! It took a lot of restraint to not bust out into song in the middle of my living room with my mom around. I used to know most of the songs by heart. The thing to remember is that elements from all of the books are mixed together into the musical. The most recent one is mostly based onChamber of Secrets because it was left out of the original musicals.

so everyone being mean to hermione is just a callback to philosopher's stone i think when she had no friends and cried in the bathroom after hearing ron and the others talk about her etc, cedric keeps making find jokes bc hufflepuff are said to be good finders and draco is already quite dramatic originally, always wanting attention (especially harry's), for example when he made this huge drama around buckbeak etc so they just took that trait and amplified it xD a lot of the characters are reduced to one singular trait they had

Oh my god, I am so happy to see you reacting to this! I hope you continue, if you enjoy them! Two things: I think Cedric saying FIND all the time is a reference to the Hogwarts song (about the houses, from the books), and Ron will continue eating throughout the musical because the character playing him did not have time to eat or such, so he just brought food onto the stage (something that is incorporated into his character later on)

[@marenwithanm7091]

[@suspicaxrohde2310]

This was a great reaction! Also, I think this pace is perfect. If there's any problem with the Very Potter Trilogy, it's that it is monstrously long. Like, if you were to watch all three back-to-back it would be as long as the first five movies. I would recommend using the act breaks as well, once you get there, i.e. split up the video between the last part of Act 1 and the first part of Act 2, even if that means more or less than five parts in a reaction. Also, I really hope you keep this going into A Very Potter Sequel and A Very Potter Senior Year.

By the way if the editing seems weird at some points, it's because they had some adult jokes in this that they edited out once it became super popular in order to not get in trouble with KZbin. There's one in this when Dumbledore says "I'll keep my eyes open.." and the audience laughs a lot, they were laughing at something else he said there LOL if you know, you know 😂

You have to watch more starkid musicals!! They like triple in production value over the years. I suggest "The guy who didn't like musicals," you'll see some familiar faces, and it's a lot of 'recent' fans (2018-now) first musical. :D I'm one of those fans lmao

[@Wild_flower_415]

So happy you’re watching this! Can’t wait to see the rest!

[@philippschafer1762]

Yes! Great reaction! I am so hyped for this. I love Starkid.

[@reysgotplans5005]

Great to see all the HP content out at the moment, I've never seen this before and was going to wait to watch it but when I saw you'd uploaded there was no way I was going to miss reacting to it with you! Its a shame about not being able to send vegan baked goods to your PO Box! I wanted to send you vegan hufflepuff cookies for Christmas! I'll try and think of something else 😄 great reaction as always Veggie, vegan Hufflepuffs unite! 💛🤘🏼🥳

[@VeggieGamer]

Thanks so much, Rey! Yeah, sorry about the 'no food' thing! XD I just think it is for the best because I really don't want people spending good money on sending my stuff that I can't have. Much appreciated though, and yes, vegan Hufflepuffs for the win!! XD

[@JHowesitgoing123]

All of these Starkid Harry Potter musicals are like a hodgepodge of different events from the whole series. I wouldn't expect the characters to necessarily be like they are in the books/movies. It's more like the worst part of those characters only...more or less. They're very funny though, and the songs are great. I think you'll really like the Quirrel/Voldemort parts.

[@monikacrljen6827]

I hope you keep reacting to starkid shows. They're amazing.

[@krissmith800]

One of the most amazing facts is that Team StarKid is still going strong and giving us great content. Hollywood bigwigs and the like should take note because these guys (and gals), albeit lower budget, knows how to produce really good stuff. The fact that most of the crew is also members of Team StarKid or family/significant others is amazing. Members are also multi-talented and do many things well (singing, dancing, acting, writing, playing instruments, costume design, set design, etc.). Mind blowing.

Oh nice! I’m happy to see tou react to AVPM. It’s fun! My favorite is the third show. I really really hope you’ll react to Puffs too. It’s a retelling of the story from a Hufflepuff point of view, and it’s also amazing, but not a musical. It’s worth the price! I think it’s available on a few platforms.

[@nerdfightercommenter6969]

Lauren Lopez is Draco Malfoy and she is glorious. Fun fact she’s married to the actor who plays Ron.

[@harrietloughnan4112]

Finding this has made my day! I guess I am a Hufflepuff.

[@NotMothMan]

Thank you for putting on subtitles. I love them

[@hels7]

I was waiting for this even since you finished the movies loool Thanks for checking it out! also the subtitles are helpful for me too because of the old audio and I think this pace is perfectly fine :) The joke with Cedric is that he said "Hufflepuffs are particular good finders", so he keeps on repeating the joke now, but that is something they made up because they thought it would be funny (and it is XD).

[@fizzycolalizzie]

I’m THRILLED to see someone else discovering Starkid!! This show truly is amazing at every turn but I do think Quirrell & Voldemort are a major highlight.

[@dordosama]

I actually fist pumped when I saw you uploaded this!! So excited!!

[@WhedonianPotterhead]

Draco is Lauren Lopez and her performance is so iconic it's generally agreed her Draco is better than Tom Felton 😁

[@quackbock1018]

YES!!! i'll have to properly sit and watch this later but i'm so happy you watched this!!! i remember suggesting it on one of your movie reactions!!
