@@gooel the point is to call out the racist undertones about the cho chang character because of her name, her being in the smart house (because asians are usually portrayed as smart due to strict parents and stuff) and a bunch of other shit, which is why they made cho southern and lav asian
@@gooel yes, but they were poking fun at the racial undertones to the books surrounding Cho Chang. in the actual performance, Ginny greets Lavender Brown ( who is played by a girl who is Asian ), greeting her as Cho, but then Ron stops her by saying "That's Lavender Brown! racist sister!". its suppose to sound like its racist but its actually just a misdirect to point out the problematic writing surrounding the character in the books. it was the whole point of the joke.

@@hystericalqueen3586 I don't think I've seen the musical you're referencing yet :( I stopped at very potter trilogy + twisted + little white lie because I want to see the others in good company.
@@radicaledward84 they are gonna get married , Lauren and Joey gonna get married for real, On July 20, 2020 the pair announced their engagement via Instagram, confirming they had been in a relationship for eight years.
lol especially out of context, without the acting inbetween, they only could do the song part of Cho and friends entrance so that he can sing Cedric's part. its why Darren suggested people to watch the musical to get context and get the joke.
Thank you for sharing this! It's so sweet that Darren always tries to contextualize his Starkid stuff in case someone in the audience has no idea what's going on.
Can we focus for a second on the fact that the person who was recording this didn't sing along to them, and the only thing we can hear them say is "TO GRYFFINDOR!"? Because I think that's hilarious, like "okay okay okay, I can't sing because I want the recording to be as focused on their voices as possible, but here comes my house so I HAVE TO DO IT"😂 #gryffindorpride ❤️
@Ayah13 I’m sorry if my original comment came off as disrespectful. I meant Richpez just as Joey and Lauren’s adorable relationship, whether it be romantic or not.
@@mythtaken3154 It's okay lmao, I'm just so tired of people talking about Richpez that I got a little snippy. I'm sorry, I need to learn to chill out. And you're right, they're precious in any context.

Love how Darren tries to bring together his Starkid life and Hollywood life together.
Apparently he wants to write a broadway play with Starkid too
Oh no that’d be way too awesome
Calum TVG it would be totally awesome
So cool and totally awesome
Wait, for real? Seriously? When did he say that? That would be so awesome. Like totally awesome

joey when any girl is playing Hermione: That would be cool if u were actually hot

But Meredith
Nahhh Richard Campbell will always be the sexiest hermione
Ella that’s a fact
Amaya Sonubi yessss someone who also knows the truth!
The latte hottay
„Hey it’s me the person that has always played Hermione“

If you think I know the entire song plus dialogue by heart you are absolutely correct.
Same XD
Plus dance moves
everything, dance moves, dialogues, lyrics, chords etc.
+ choreography + accents
6:51 yeah she knows what power she has XD love that everyone always, without fail, goes batsh*t for Malfoy's part XD
It's 🎶TOTALLY AWESOME!!!🎶 ❤️😎

Darren's face at 1:40 perfectly conveys "oh hey you know the lyrics! haha do i even need to sing? eh, i'll still do it anyway"
I love how you can hear different parts of the audience when they shout the house names! They're shouting their house names ToT
Brian sounded FLAWLESS when he was singing as Cedric 😩🥰
brosenthal as cedric? hell yeah
The „Cho Chang“ part of Darren is so cool!
I wish it would be a real part of this song.
What do you mean?
This was a year ago, never mind lmao.
OH LMAO I DIDN'T FINISH THE VIDEO I GOTCHU.
Do u mean “it’s totally awesome”?
whenever they do this- it's totally awesome.
Darren: *opens mouth"
Crowd: *"HE SAID IT, HE SAID THE THING"*
Lauren is my favourite 7 year old
7, and male.
i cannot believe brosenthal played hermione i cant evennnn
Oh my God. Rosenthal. I. Am. Dead. 😂😂❤️❤️
even the guitar got a glow up.
I’m gonna cryyyy this musical is absolutely one of my favorite pieces of art I can’t even articulate the impact it had on me in high school
Lauren looks soooooooooo beautiful!!
so it’s beyond weird when you first see Darrin as a serial killer Andrew Cunanan then see him singing Harry Potter - missed Glee altogether - just a little weird - he’s one very talented actor 😃
Have you seen A Very Potter Musical yet?
Seriously this man can play and sing with every role he gets😂
@@luisaarayaarancibia Imagine watching him go from a "boytoy" to Harry Potter to Blaine to a serial killer. It was a roller coaster
don't forget a castrated drag queen from Germany everyone loves hedwig
I love that he keeps playing these stuff!
I would drop dead if I saw this in real life
Same but I'd also be screaming the lyrics at the top of my lungs !! Lol that's me
Was it just me who started hyperventilating when Lauren came on?
nope.
Does she,,, get,,, prettier,,, every time??? I see her??? Or am I just going insane???
Ayah13 idk I understand the feeling but maybe I’m also going insane
Ayah13 I think she does, how does she do that?!
at 7:14 when lauren tells joey not to do the train dance im wheezing
one dislike? THANKS HERMIONE!
I'm only actually watching this to squeal over Lauren and her talent and beauty. Mission succeeded
Darrens look at joey on 4:24 🤣
Awe Lauren is so cute I swear
You can rly hear Brian doing the chorus harmonies and it makes me happy
QUIRRLEEEEEEEE
Oh man, I'm still emotional over this!!
I wish I was there. He did some glee Blaine covers, then this....
Phoebe Ward in the same concert

i may or may not currently be jumping up and down with sore cheeks from smiling too hard at lauren lopez
Me tho
I feel like when Darren says "Man I'm glad I'm back", he is actually saying it, since hes back with his AVPM buddies
The 'back to the place where our story began' line makes it feel so surreal because it's been over a decade and they've came so far since then but they still have that song as their starting point
I love that he still smiles when singing it
the one dislike is voldemort
Naaaa even he would like this
He was dancing and missed the like button
I love how the tallest and shortest had to share a mic
Dylan was such an icon especially when I was just a small baby gay 😭😭😭
Love how everyone loves the Malfoy part
I can't express how in love with this I am
This is Ryan Lehrman playing guitar in the back. He is one half of Scary Pockets. The people need a Starkid/Scary Pockets musical. Throw in the Vulfpeck crew too, they're fom Ann Harbor Michigan as wall.
brosenthal looks so cute omg
just seeing lauren makes me want to scream.
i love her too much, it might be a problem
You don’t know how happy this made me!I was smiling SO BIG the entire time.Thanks for sharing❤️
This was totally awesome ❤️❤️
This song is TOTALLY AWESOME 🤘
1 dislike, thanks Hermione 😒
I love Starkid for letting me say this…
Dang Draco! Girl power!!!
lmaooo the first time i watched AVPM and the cho chang part came on, i had my jaw on the floor it was too hilarious 😂
Why doesn't Lauren Lopez have an album?
This is totally wholesome!
the 1 dislike is Voldemort
I would die to see this live
Ok so my crush on Joey Richter is apparently still going strong 10 years later...
THIS WAS SO GOOD
Now THAT was totally awesome! 😍
Lauren is reveling in being malfoy
Who wouldn't revel in being Lauren being Malfoy?
Incredible
This makes me so happy
1 dislike? THANKS, HERMAN!
At 9:22 I thought he said "I didn't hear you GAYS!"😂
Starkid makes me so fucking emotional
The non the harry potter fans that are just here for Darren are confused
♥♥♥
1:43 don't mind me just a mark for when the song starts
people who sing their houses aloud and people who lie to themselves
me realizing if i watch this 6 and 2/3 times it'll be an hour
also me: how much time have i spent listening to this
Yesssss Darren well done Team star kid
Jesus I thought Darren was Ben Platt a first
Imaging if that happened now...I’d pay for it
1 dislike? Thank you Hermione...

Underneath these stairs
I hear the sneers and feel the glares
Of my cousin, my uncle, and my aunt
Can't stand how cruel they are
And it hurts my lightning scar
To know they'll never
Ever give me what I want
I know I don't deserve this
Awful rules made by the Dursleys
Here on Privet Drive
Can't stand these stupid muggles
But despite all of my struggles
I'm still alive
I'm sick of summer and this waiting around
Man, it's September, so I'm skipping this town
Hey, it's no mystery
There's nothing here for me now
I gotta get back to Hogwarts
I gotta get back to school
I gotta get myself to Hogwarts
Where everyone thinks I'm cool
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that I love and it's all that I need
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts
I think I'm going back
I'll see my friends
Gonna' laugh 'till we cry
Take my firebolt
Gonna' take to the sky
No way this year anyone's gonna die
And it's gonna be totally awesome!
I'll cast some spells with the flick of my wand
Defeat the Dark Lord, yeah bring it on!
