We Went To The Midnight Showing Of Half-Blood Prince

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!!!!!

[@fireworksandsunshine]

Back in the days when Darren could walk the streets lol

[@mothwaltz4163]

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

[@ycsdramaqueen]

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

[@igotVoldemortsnose]

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

[@puellamagica3359]

THEY ALL LOOK SO YOUNG OMFG BLESS

[@Sophia_Everest]

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

[@Potterhead1099]

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

[@ScarlettwyvernMC]

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

[@ksmthy369]

The fact that this happened makes me so happy.

[@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 !!!

[@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

[@1019awesomegirl]

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

[@lucywalker4545]

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

[@clumsycow]

they bought extra seats

[@ouiseylou]

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

[@amaliekahr-hjland3400]

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

[@miatyae5447]

Pretty much sums it up!

[@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

[@tjcolan]

look how young they all are

[@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

[@HaunaMyKiki]

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

[@Piegee18]

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

[@minimagicmoviegnome]

brian looks tiny against darrens hair

[@clashwithjonesy7109]

Darren Criss is surprisingly underrated in the starkid fandom.

[@voldemere11]

I love how they just casually brought a keyboard.

[@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!

[@Starkidpotterful]

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

[@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.

[@chloeheartsyou]

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

[@mizKaylaMaze]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@charlotteeo746]

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

[@rosemacqueen5172]

SO HAPPY IM SO DAMN HAPPY

[@mskatharina0604]

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

[@ItsEMSTER]

avpm10 omggggg crying

[@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..."

[@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

[@isingfashion]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@albertesolveigbkgaardmorte9356]

this is the greatest video on the internet

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@luvalot1993]

I love how you guys were having a blast on my birthday. I was so lucky this year to have it come out then. And on my 18th birthday too. I love being a sumer baby. You guys rock!

[@starburstcollective]

So cute!!

[@SmellsLikePurple369]

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

[@aKitti234]

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

[@831-u3d]

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

[@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)!!!!!

[@iKaitlin]

This is possibly the best thing ever. My friends and I did a full out AVPM flashmob of Get Back to Hogwarts at the Deathly Hallows Part 2 midnight premier here in SF x) Best thing ever!!!! All the hundreds of people waiting in line, singing along, as I sang my favorite songs with my favorite people. God I have the best friends ever.

[@kbodziak]

So, AJ is REALLY HAPPY (which is adorable btw) when he finds out they got him a sweater, but isn't it the one that says, "kick me"? hahhaah i THOUGHT so;) ps. hey team star kid! lets get together in Michigan and do this for Halloween, k?

[@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

[@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!

[@danfan099]

singing in the street... i soooooooooo wish i could have been there. i mean, can't you just imagine seeing them in the street and singing along with them? that would be the best Harry Potter movie opening EVER! too bad i wouldn't have knwn who they were at the time...

[@fifipoodlebum]

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

[@koolkab96]

Love it!!!!!!!! You guys are awesome! I so wish i was there I bet it was really fun playing all those parts! And I think you guys should tour with this! I would drag all my HP loving friends with me! Seriously every time we hear the harry potter music we drop everything were doing! I loved it!

[@cookimonster2118]

this would be amazing to see! i was in Ann Arbor and saw the midnight show and the whole time I was hoping to see them, I didn't know they were in California :( I absolutely love ALL of this :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 :)

[@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.

[@maori94]

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

[@obi1kendobi]

I wish I could hang with this group. You guys are awesome!

[@Mithlomi]

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

[@vivienkelly5017]

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

[@sewcleverr]

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

[@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!

[@rtrtrtrtrt23]

I think (although I am a Starkid before Glee) that I wouldn't care. I would just want to talk to him and not be petty enough to care if he thinks I'm a Starkid or a Gleek.

[@poppypates]

Oh, my, wizard, god. I so wish I could have been there! That would have been the most amazingly wonderful awesome thing to ever happen. Just waiting for the movie and then you hear your favorite songs from avpm being sung by the cast as they come towards you, gasp, I would have died from love!

[@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!!!!!

[@Ellie_xo]

Omg words just can't describe how much love these guys :D I wanna meet the starkid cast nd sing songs with them and with all the starkids out there :D

[@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!

[@jazzaiyana]

It must be really fun to walk down the sidewalk, playing AVPM songs and singing at the top of your lungs! XD

[@SarahWilkes]

I heard in an interview that the cast are all over the US right now because it's summer vacation and many of the cast have graduated, so they aren't all in Michigan to be able to do KZbin videos together. In the interview they said that Darren helped to write the show & he & the other directors that are in these videos happen to be living together down in LA.

[@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!

[@makara_at_heart8827]

THE FRO!!

[@hermionecannotdraw12]

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

[@f8ball]

Man, this looks like it was so much fun- both for you guys, and the people watching! Curse my Eastern-seaboardness- hopefully I'll get over to CA sometime in the near future and see you guys live! :D Best of luck!

[@Toscalily]

If i lived in America I would try to come to all those conventions and other things u guys go to. It looks like so much fun

[@feathers10123]

i love you guys. you are absolutley the best harry potter fans out there. i can't wait until the soundtrack comes out.

[@Painfoot]

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

[@Dannamabomb]

i cant believe i wasn't there for this. I freaking live in the bay area. why is this the first I've heard about Azkatraz? I can't believe it. but you guys are totally awesome

[@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.

[@ScoresUnstitched]

Looks like fun! We got a ton of people to Do The Hippogriff with the GoF soundtrack. It was amazing. People all the way down the theatre "flying off from a cliff". :)

[@cranc13]

I like how everyone else would think they're a whole buncha nerds strolling down the streets in Pottercostumes :D... well actually who's not anyway?

[@twinkletoes121]

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

[@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!!!!!!!

[@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

[@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!!!

[@starkidshani]

OMG I would LOVE to see them walking through the streets singing!!!!!!!

[@CaptainJackForever]

I love you all. Seriously, I wish I could meet you. You all rock. :)

[@Siveywiveyx]

My friends and I did something a lot like this for DH Part 2- dressing up together beforehand, walking to the theatre in full costume, and (because they backed out) my one-woman rendition of Get Back To Hogwarts, helped by a random woman in the row in front of me who started singing along about halfway into the first verse. Now, if we were one-tenth as awesome as Team Starkid, that would make me very, very happy. ;D

[@BritainLee]

Man this was an amazing video. It would be amazing to either go down the street singing or seeing people going down the street singing. :D You guys just made my day. For real. :] Thanks for being amazing! How'd you like the show? :]

[@randomplattypus]

THE best publicity stunt EVER

[@cleobaby9797]

Harry Freakin Potter would be the best song to use, I think, cause you start it by someone yelling out BLOODY 'ELL, IZ 'ARRY POTTAH!!! Then everyone else comes along!!
