Hello, my darlings! Today's blog entry is aimed at all my fellow Harry Potter fanatics. I'm going to assume that's all of you because I just find it hard to conceive of anyone not finding Harry Potter awesome. I'm going to do you all a favour now and recommend one of the best fan made artistic endeavours to hit the Potterverse since Potter Puppet Pals ... A Very Potter Musical!
For those of you not familiar with AVPM, it's a fan made musical that was performed by a theatre group in Michigan purely for the love of Harry Potter. They wrote it, came up with the songs, got the costumes together and put the whole thing on as a labour of love. And we're not talking about some dinky little five minute parody here, this is a full length musical that goes for a couple of hours!
These guys are legitimate fans, they definitely know their stuff. There's plenty of in jokes and references back to the books, and quite a few insights that'll have you laughing. But really, you're going to love it for the music.
The performances are hilarious, especially the girl who plays Draco Malfoy and the guy who plays Dumbledore. Harry, Ron and Hermione have a great rapport and play off each other really well, and the ridiculously tall fellow who plays Goyle just steals every scene he's in.The videos are broken up into two groups, act one and act two, and then into parts. If you want to see them on a playlist which will take you from one to the next without you having to worry about finding the next bit, you can go here.
Seriously though, if you're a fan of Harry Potter and you haven't seen this then you absolutely must watch it! Find a couple of hours, sit yourself down, and just watch it through. Once you have, the title of this entry will totally make sense.
You can thank me later.
HP fanatic here - - that was awesome!!
ReplyDeleteIt's great, isn't it! I just love what the fans can come up with when they try.
DeleteImagine me.
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteYou had me at Pigfarts . . . .
ReplyDelete.. it's gonna be totally awesome :D
DeleteOhh?? I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan!!! I like the books better than the movies, but maybe I'll like the Puppet Musical. lol
ReplyDeleteThe puppets are hilarious, especially the song where Dumbledore strips.
DeleteThere's a sentence you probably thought you'd never hear.
Michigan? But that's where I live! Why have I never heard of this????
ReplyDeleteI was always so jealous of the people who could go and see their shows live rather than wait for the Youtube releases. I would have loved to have seen Me And My Dick. Any musical where all the character's genitalia are played by actors is fine by me!
DeleteUh oh. I'm not a Harry Potter fan. I don't have anything against the bespectacled wizard, I just never dove into it. I looked at it like I already have too many nerdy obsessions. Harry Potter would tip me over the edge, like I'd regrow my virginity I'd be so nerdy. But if you're telling me I need to get into it, then c'mere Daniel Radcliff, let's get this started off right.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for taking the risk of regenerating virginity just to discover the joys of Harry Potter.
Deletehaha that made me chuckle
ReplyDeleteClever, isn't it :D
Deletethank you ms. girl geek...did I get that right. You have found some fun stuff. I'll keep on checking back with you.. k.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Ms Girl Geek, I like that! I think I'll get the people at work to put it on my business cards :D
DeleteHaa ahahah..Thanks for joining me. Business cards, stationary, any where you like.
