We Went To The Midnight Showing Of Half-Blood Prince

We saw Half-Blood Prince. We all wore matching sweaters, took instruments and sang songs on the way to and outside the theatre. We've also got some stuff to announce about t-shirts and our website and the soundtrack. Go team Gryffindor!

[@pilkingtonfamily1191]

Just casually carrying a guitar and a keyboard down a street, singing Starkid songs, that's totally normal! I love them!

[@jadiellima8922]

totally awesome

[@Theordoreqaz]

IM SORRY BUT AJ GOING "u guys really got me a sweater?" IS THE CUTEST THING EVER

[@katiem5051]

Only AJ Holmes would bring a keyboard to a movie premier

[@alyssamonkey]

Where did he put it though??? 😂

[@neera3167]

And Darren got the guitar

[@knotcoppercurls]

I am dead because Darren goes to this as a fan and then was on the NYC red carpet for the 7th movie and the London red carpet for the 8th.

[@Ryan_hey]

really, I wonder how that worked out? I'm guessing someone on the films were a fan and invited them; either way, that's awesome

[@knotcoppercurls]

@@Ryan_hey it was actually just Darren who went. He was on Glee which was super huge at the time. Although I'm sure someone involved in the films brought up the idea of inviting him.

[@fireworksandsunshine]

Back in the days when Darren could walk the streets lol

[@tatianagois4865]

Can we just talk about the adorableness that is AJ's reaction that they got him a sweater. He was in such awe that it was SO CUTE OMFG I CAN'T!!!!!

[@Sophia_Everest]

I wonder how many people on the streets were going "What the fuck are they doing?" lol

[@ycsdramaqueen]

"Nick, do I really get a sweater?" "Yeah." "Really? You guys got me a sweater?" He's so freaking cute. X3

[@puellamagica3359]

THEY ALL LOOK SO YOUNG OMFG BLESS

[@Potterhead1099]

I would die if I saw Brian Holden and AJ Holmes casually singing starkid songs through the streets of my town.

[@igotVoldemortsnose]

HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST DISCOVERED THIS VIDEO?!?!?!?!?! Ohmygod they're all babies

[@mothwaltz4163]

That is how people should go to cinemas_ with guitars and songs and also dressed like their favourite movie characters!

[@caseyyy4785]

just realized that the idea of Darren and a bunch of dudes walking down the street in outfits and singing is extreme warbler-foreshadowing

[@ScarlettwyvernMC]

Anyone else wondering where they put their instruments during the showing :P

[@karasmith8235]

The fact that this happened makes me so happy.

[@1019awesomegirl]

"Did you guys really get me a sweater?" I love AJ :D

[@nickylizz12]

Imagine walking down the street, then just having some random guys in Hogwarts outfits come walking past with a whole band going on..

[@christienauheimer]

those girls just casually watching darren criss sing on the street are the luckiest people and they dont even know it

[@Bethiestarkid99]

What i love about starkid is that they are fearless !! Who casually goes around the street with a keyboard and guitar .... Well they do !!!

[@tjcolan]

look how young they all are

[@ouiseylou]

I adore AJ's reaction to finding out he has a sweater.

[@minimagicmoviegnome]

brian looks tiny against darrens hair

[@amaliekahr-hjland3400]

You hear a guitar playing and you immediately know it's Dare

[@miatyae5447]

Pretty much sums it up!

[@Piegee18]

A.J. : You guys really got me a sweater? Cutest thing ever.

[@randomgal13]

lol Darren when he's having his scar put on xD "Ow ow oooww" :D and I can't believe [I couldn't see who it was] is actually taking a full on keyboard down the street! They're not exactly easy to carry on your own xD

[@voldemere11]

I love how they just casually brought a keyboard.

[@HaunaMyKiki]

"Hey do I get a sweater?" UGH! Why must AJ be so flippin' ADORABLE ! (less than three)

[@Starkidpotterful]

singing 'going back to hogwarts' down the street like a boss.

[@clashwithjonesy7109]

Darren Criss is surprisingly underrated in the starkid fandom.

[@QueenXanadu]

I find it hilarious that he's actually carrying around a keyboard. That just amuses me so much for some reason.

[@22riri22]

I like how Darren was just walking through a crowd of people, like now he'd be swarmed by a billion fan girls.

[@maori94]

damn , how creazy they must have been xD they have all my respect!!

[@girlydancer98]

I love how Darren Criss is like not famous yet hear and everyone is all casual like "white dude with a fro" but later they would be all like "gay dude from Glee!! cool..."

[@mizKaylaMaze]

"we traded courage and fun for practicality, and now we're at the back of the line." aww... back before they were stars

[@rosemacqueen5172]

SO HAPPY IM SO DAMN HAPPY

[@vivienkelly5017]

My god I'm dying of laughter. THis is my life goal lmao

[@lucywalker4545]

Where did they put the guitar and keyboard whilst watching the film lol.

[@clumsycow]

they bought extra seats

[@KreuzVega]

These guys have a co-dependency issue with their instruments. They can't put them down for a second! I mean, a keyboard? Really? They are the coolest people ever.

[@tasmynjean3900]

Hahahahahahaha back of Eric's jumper! "KICK ME" Bahahahahaahah

[@charlotteeo746]

This is hilarious, I wish I was older so I could've properly experienced the Harry Potter releases

[@allieskelley]

I’m here almost 11 years later to remind everyone that AJ going “really? you guys got me a sweater?” remains my FAVORITE THING TO THIS DAY THE VIBES ARE IMMACULATE 🥺🥺🥺💓💓💓

[@XoXAnimeNurdXoX]

StarKid you are the most amazing, devoted fans ever and you have managed to bring together so many other fans in unity!! Thanks for all the passion and geekdom you have created for everyone!

[@user-lt6dq4ir2w]

oh my god. starkid. walking around Hollywood Blvd. singing AVPM songs. live. i just.

[@chloeheartsyou]

You guys are the best thing to happen to HP fandom since book 7. Keep being awesome.

[@allisonwonderrand]

Everytime a new video is posted on StarKidPotter I get super excited, even if it's something I've already seen. This was great, and thanks for the soundtrack and t-shirts and being generally all-around awesome.

[@TwoBrokenWyngs]

"The Gryffindors have traded courage and fun for practicality and now we're at the back of the line." Lmfao! They should've let you guys up front for taking one for the team and entertaining everybody else!

[@spbookworm]

I literally started tearing up just at the thought of meeting these people. They are beyond my heros. I mean, I really just admire them all so much. I'm obsessed with Harry Potter, and that these people were so devoted that they could make something like this (which requires an infinite amount of talent), just... UGH, they are TOTALLY AWESOME!

[@isingfashion]

They're so cute walking down the street singing and playing various instruments. What dorks!!! And I totally want to be one!

[@starburstcollective]

So cute!!

[@ikandy93]

omg same here! and when they all lifted up their wands "Voldermort is going down" started playing in my head! lol

[@bbmonkey14]

"You're on team gryffindor" next shot of the back of his back *Kick me*

[@splendiffferrous]

that had to have been the most ballin thing ive seen since the midnight premiere. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for being so totally awesome and doing all this stuff for your fans (soundtrack, tshirts, other general magnificence)!!!!!

[@albertesolveigbkgaardmorte9356]

this is the greatest video on the internet

[@ohscarfy]

I love this group. So much.

[@hermionecannotdraw12]

I love how happy AJ sounds when they say they got him a sweater.

[@makara_at_heart8827]

THE FRO!!

[@ashez2ashes]

Thank you so so much for releasing the soundtrack! I loved those songs, I can't stop humming them. And there are girls swooning in the background while you guys are singing. Hilarious.

[@bucinto]

I loved the news! Thank you! You guys are totally awesome! I wish I had seen you on the streets singing "Danger" but... well... I live in Brazil, kind of difficult XD

[@Dagirlindajeans]

That was totally awesome! Can't wait for the website, songs and t-shirts to show.

[@littletoolate]

I don't know why I hadn't seen this video till just now but I came close to crying watching it!! Oh my god that would have made my liiiffe seeing you guys singing those songs while walking down the street... so abso-freaking-lutely aweeesome

[@aKitti234]

This was a year ago but I still love this so much.

[@TheOneAndOnlyIt]

DOWNLOADABLE SOUNDTRACK!!! Now I can be Nerdy and Musical at the same time x] I love that you went singing, that is so totaly awesome!

[@ihasakarottiger]

I hope that they know they are celebrities because they certainly are the most down to earth not to mention adorable people and I just want them to know they have fans that love them and hope that darren is soon able to help with the threequel. So much respect goes out to you guys.

[@MammaMia]

How awesome would it be to just be walking down the street and suddenly you hear the StarKidPotter people singing Granger Danger? That would just make my life. I would be happy forever!

[@phililili23]

I love that you guys were just walking down the street singing at the top of your lungs too. I heard someone off camera laughing at one point, that was awesome.

[@LadyAlanna648]

I love the shot of you guys walking down the street singing "Granger Danger". :)

[@SmellsLikePurple369]

i went to the half-blood prince midnight premiere... up here in Canada. i was with you guys in spirit

[@alexgrey7278]

Love it!!!

[@SaxGirl92]

You guys... are TOTALLY AWESOME! I'd have loved to be there and join you guys in singing those songs!

[@horsegirl526]

You got me a sweater??? I love you guys so much. And I can't believe they brought a keyboard. These people are my soul brothers!!!!!!!

[@junehatter8479]

I didn't get to see Half-Blood Prince despite being obsessed with Harry Potter because my overprotective mom really respected the pg-13 rating, and I was, like, ten.

[@miatyae5447]

Lmao

[@Mithlomi]

Sweet! The next two weeks cannot go quick enough! That looks like so much fun. I wish I could see it!

[@obi1kendobi]

Dudes, I can't wait for the soundtrack. You guys are awesome!

[@boingboingcurls]

When Draco reveled his dark mark in the film...that was quite a moment. I can't say that it was as cute as Lauren's. But it was really something.

[@starkidfan123]

Omg. I wish I had gone to the premiere wherever they were. TOTALLY AWESOME! :)

[@twinkletoes121]

Looks like you guys had a great time!! And I am soooooooo excited for the soundtrack!! Thanks so much!! :D

[@jellyfishblubber]

I love the fact they were just chilling walking down the street singing all these songs.

[@BroadwayBound009]

me and a bunch of other kids from our theatre dept. all dressed up for the premier. we spend 7 hours at the theatre drinking homemade butterbeer, staging a wizard battle for the crowd and singing your songs to the delight of the ppl waiting in line :D

[@TheDisneyQueen93]

That would have made my life if I could have been there when you did that. I would have probably followed you guys to the premiere singing along with you guys!!!!!! Go Team Starkid!!!!!

[@Painfoot]

That looked amazing, the walking and instruments and all! You guys must have had a blast, have fun at Azkatraz!

[@5amisntlate]

I love how one of the jumpers has 'kick me' written on the back

[@sewcleverr]

You guys rock! Your midnight premier seemed a lot cooler than mine, haha. I'm soo excited for the soundtrack!!

[@fifipoodlebum]

I'm not really sure why I was crying with happiness when I watched that but I was. You guys are totally awesome!

[@bubblyanddramatic]

If I ever saw them walking down the street-singing or walking normally, no one would be able to control me...it would make my life!!!

[@4greenisthenewblack]

Looove how he brought the piano!

[@AlissaGranger]

I told a ton of people about A Very Potter Musical when I was at the theater at midnight. They found it very exciting. PS you guys are awesome!

[@ThePopeAndI]

This is so cool! My friends and I sang in the car, and again as we waited outside our mall, too! :D

[@literallyjane]

Can't wait for the soundtrack and some T-Shirts! ^_^ It looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I sported the red and gold at the premier too. :D Woo! Team Gryffindor.

[@synchro101]

You guys are amazing. Me and my friends definitely sang all the AVPM songs in the car to and in line for the premiere! Everyone was looking at us strange because we were screaming about something called Pigfarts

[@katharinakuhlmann2076]

I'm watching the #Avpm7 stream now... The feels are real❤

[@ItsEMSTER]

avpm10 omggggg crying

[@Starlysh]

FREE soundtrack? Can I buy you a pizza at least? You guys are so awesome. Oh, man. I wish I were going to Azkatraz now. You all are going to have such a good time, hardcore partying Harry Potter-style. ;)

[@PhantomOfARose]

Just over a year later, our Darren was on the "black" carpet of the Deathly Hallows Premiere, being interviewed and fangirling over DanRad. And he still is wearing the same tie. Some things never change! :D

[@tulleybeard]

EPIC! I will be singing those songs VERY loud and see how many people join in at the midnight showing of Deathly Hallows Part 1! You guys ROCK!

[@nathaliebalvstrand]

Omg this is so amazing!!

[@CeriLouise25]

That.was.too.awesome.for.words.

[@leadmare10125]

i definatly just noticed the "kick me" that's awesome. totally awesome. :D

[@dancer4life077]

if I ever saw the Starkids singing AVPM songs at a midnight premiere, I wouldn't run them over... I'd walk up to them and just start singing :)

[@Mally1225]

I wish I was there! I'm so happy the soundtrack will be free, very cool!

[@xXdarkwhitewolfXx]

ROFL You guys are TOTALLY AWESOME. I have some friends who went dressed as Harry Potter characters and singing your songs to the midnight showing of New Moon, just to piss people off.

[@ProfessorShyguy]

I'm really stoked about the soundtrack.
