Did a search and didn't have anything come up, so I apologize if i missed it somewhere.

It's a musical put together by a theatre group out of the University of Michigan. A little cheesy, but I had quite a few laughs through it.


It's a couple hours long, and tells the basic HP story in a pretty funny way. Not sure how many at DLP will be interested in this, not sure it's most of ya'lls cup of tea but the worst that can happen is I get flamed so I'm willing to risk it

They have a couple other things on their, but I haven't had a chance to watch them yet.

 

Seen it. Worth a few laughs.

4/5

 

Couldn't be assed watching all of it, and the Quirrell/Voldemort thing got old fast. Still, pretty frickin' funny. Thanks, gamingguru.

 

My school is doing a few scenes of this. Before anyone asks, I'm not in it.

 

Oh god... well, it's five fucking hours long, that's number one, and some of the acting gets pretty ridiculous at points, and for God's sake sometimes the microphones are utterly terrible.

But, on the other hand, it's lulzy, it's self-aware, it's a fairly decent parody, and it makes fun of enough fanfiction cliches to be okay. Some of the actors are pretty solid (Dumbledore, Snape, and Ron, in particular, gave me the most laughs), and given the set-list, the music was simiple, but it got the job done (mostly).

All in all... eh, probably a 3/5 for me, but I'm a sucker for musicals.

 

No it's not. Not even half that.

 

Only time I've ever enjoyed Ron's character. Not too bad, I suppose.

 

Figured I'd Bump for those interested. They've performed a sequel, which they'll be uploading to youtube in July.


They also attended the Azkatraz conference in San Francisco as fans, and actually played some live songs when people recognized them.

Guess I'll bump this to say it's been uploaded to Youtube. Beware, this sequel is longer than the original, this one is 3.5 hours long. Act 1, Part 1.

 

Huh, I have to say, I actually watched both of these today, and I enjoyed it quite a bunch.

The production was pretty low budget in the first musical, but the tunes were catchy, and Harry's character of being a douchebag was well done.

Ron still provided me the most laughs though, especially in the sequel. Nice use of the Ho Yay trope.

 

I'm utterly in love with the sequel. Umbridge = amazing.

 

Both have some pretty awesome moments (<- c wat i did that?) but Snape, Draco and perhaps Quirrelmort steal the show. Somewhat amateurish and childish for some of us who aren't quite fifteen anymore, though I can't deny it's been entertaining.

All in all, a good 4/5 from me, simply because I'd like to see more people doing things like these.

 

I love this shit. I'm a theatre and HP nerd, therefore this is right up my alley. In fact, last year while I was still in college we had a party where all we did was watch this and play a drinking game to it.

Seriously, kicks some ass.

 

I watched their other musical too. It's pretty funny. Not Harry Potter related at all, but it's about a dude and his talking dick, so I think everyone can relate.

Pretty much the same cast, and the actor who played Ron plays the lead in this one.

Wasn't their an HP crackfic about that...?

 

Yes there was. I pretty distinctly remember it. Can't find it though. Was pretty funny if I remember it correctly.

 

I think you're looking for Nonjon's Two Heads Are Better Than One.

 

Yep, that's it.
