Thanks Hermione.
@@viveleshistoires4874 It's all your fault, Jafar!
Stonefades I think it’s pronounced hermitcrab
@@viveleshistoires4874 whos hermione i only know herman
Erin Duncan
Right, sorry. ^^’
"isn't Harry Potter British?"
"I don't think so."
4:30
Matt is checked out
Im six years late but timestamp?
Hollie Pottah it’s 4:30 and thank you for giving me an excuse to watch this video again in 2020.
disGraced ape • thanksss and yw I guess lmao
@alfred lauridsen yea
*sighs in a very British voice * because I'm flipping British....
Everyone loves Lauren for rolling all over the floor
He does it because he wants to act all cool like a spy but it's really funny so they do that
Neon Cookie Ooh, thanks
+Zita Šantel to be like his daddy
+Jacqueline Okeke Daddy! You've come to love me!
It's because Lauren fell over in one scene so she kept doing it throughout the whole thing I think
ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW DARREN FINISHES SONGS LIKE TWO DAYS BEFORE OPENING NIGHT HAHAHAHA
That's literally like what always happens when putting on a show. The last production I was in, we changed a crap ton of stuff a few hours before our opening show. There are always so many last-minute things but you somehow always manage to get it done just in time.
FireBow wat you were in a show? Which one?
@@pingnixon-hermansen5046 many. I was in Les Mis, I did I don't even know how many originals, Peer Gynt and tonight I'm doing a spinoff of the Truman Show
@@firebow2810 o i thought you meant you were in a star kid show
@@pingnixon-hermansen5046 oh I wish. This just happens in productions in general
talking about the sandwich bomb
Darren: "just like the books"
"All these people are coming to the show ... OK there's actually nobody there but I bet that one guy's coming to the show ... with a guitar and he's gonna try to play along and ... oh wait that's our guitarist" LOL OMG Bonnie
MiracleMira Pretty sure that it's Jamie talking considering that Cedric says "Hey Jamie". :)
Vixx Celacea Yeah, just like you can sorta catch her saying That’s my bwother Ron!
I love how Hermione is supposed to be all ugly and stuff and Bonnie is actually gorgeous ☺️
Caitlin Meyer so is Emma Watson, basically no one is actually like book Hermione but idc they're amazing
Hermione isn't supposed to be ugly, maybe as a joke in AVPM verse but otherwise not so much, she's just kinda nerdy with bushy hair and big front teeth ( which actually get corrected ) but she is never described as ugly.
^^ this. book hermione isn't supposed to be gorgeous, and musical hermione is only jokingly reffered to as ugly in the show.
Fun fact. People told Emma she was too pretty to play hermione.
Hermione wasn't meant to be ugly per-se, just plain and I guess just a little undesirable
"Hey look its cho chang and some white girl getting ready." Lol
Anna Kathryn BITCH I AINT CHO CHANG
Madison Kuenning RACIST SISTER
@@professorhiggly4774 THATS LAVENDER BROWN
Miley Wadlinger OH THATS ALRIGHT IM CHO CHANG YALL
They said “If only we could be that good” But ma dudes, AVPM is more canon than The Cursed Child and half the HP films lmao
TRUTH
Lol I love this more than the movies and maybe the books...????
Ana _O i definitely love it more than the books now bc of jk rowling, she ruined it all
You know you fucked up when a stage production made by a bunch of college kids and a puppet show are considered more canon than the movies and Broadway stage show you spent billions on
COULDN'T AGREE MORE!
"isnt nasa technically ameri- no, it is america. i thought harry potter was brittish"
"naaaah i dont think so"
"i have a bomb inside a sandwich."
"... just like the books..."
We all want to play Malfoy! Because we FIND him amazing
Are you a Hufflepuff
What a hell is Hufflepuff?!
Gabriela Bravo this is perfect
Gabriela Bravo mwahaha
Gabriela Bravo I read it in his voice 😭
The amount of last minuteness scares me. The fact that they added a completely new song, with harmonizing, two days before opening night is just absolutely terrifying
It really shows the calibre of the actors
That's theatre for you
@@WillowLackett Yeah, I'm an actor too, but I'm not used to that kind of last minuteness.
@@adamzheng4362 I remember when we had a similar situation but with an added scene that I, in back stage crew, we had to make 6 more set pieces and a new background, we only ever got it done like the night before the first night
And it's one of my favourite songs lmao
11 years later and youtube puts this in my recommended
Praise the sneks lmao same
Same
Yep
Samee
Same
I love the fact Darren had to write a song about himself😂
Joey Bunny They actually used that song in Little White Lie and changed it for this show!
@@e_N_n
Plus the version made for Little White Lie made it onto one of his albums
I love the fact that he sings the love song about himself.
Actually after they used it for the shos Darren changed the word "Harry" to the word "Sammy" and he put the song sammy in gis albume
@@namee466 Actually Harry was a rewrite of a previous song, Sami. It can be found in Little White Lie (which was made before AVPM but posted after.)
It makes sense that Bonnie would rather be Malfoy than Hermione because at least Draco can draw
Edit: y'all don't have to keep liking my comment. this comment isn't even that funny 😉
HERMIONE CANT DRAW HERMIONE CANT DRAW HERMIONE CANNOT DRAW!!!!...
@@beccaw74 SHE ONKY READS BOOKS AND SHE CANNOT DRAW, HERMIONE CANNOT DRAW
@@gracee.2997 EVEN IF SHE'S READING A HOW TO DRAW BOOK!
@@klutzes YA BUT AT LEAST SHE CAN SING UNLIKE LUPIN
@@gracee.2997 LUPIN CANT SING! LUPIN CANT SING!
This is a sandwich with a bomb in it.
... just like the books
4:45 - Bonnie getting her hair ratted
5:46 - Bonnie getting her hair ratted some more because it wasn't enough apparently:)
Katie Nelson I
It might of been another night
Hi everyone! I played Voldemort
bonnie!
*defeated* I played hermione
even hermione doesn't want to be hermione XD
THANKS HERMIONE.
dunno why hermione is the best
But she is the coolest girl!
i'd use the invisibility cloak to avoid my reflection in the mirror
"oh wait that is our guitarist"
I can't believe AVPM is almost 10 years old where did that time go
It's almost 11 years old now...
Ikr.
just use a timeturner lol
I would have been 6
I know right ;(
"i've been here for 12-13 hours now and i've written 3 songs"
we love you Darren
I can't believe that one of my favourite songs was added two days before the show went up! #VoldemortIsGoingDown

WE ARE UNITE
yesss that ones my fav
Dude starkid should do a high school musical parody
The thing about high school musical is that it kind of parodies itself...
High school musical truly became a parody when they invited "high school musical the musical the series" 😂😂
Deck the halls of northville high
Wow, this aged like fine wine.
CHO CHANG IS DEVIN FROM LADYLIKE HOLY HECK
i am so shook by this comment
Melanie McGeary what!!! Really?
WHAT
WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT THE FUCK
EXCUSE ME
When Nick said "if only we could be that good" when talking about HSM... I'm just over here laughing from the future
"isnt harry potter brittish?
I dont think so"
My Grandad lived 1 street away from JK Rowling's house in Edinburgh! I've visited the café where she wrote the earlier books (it's called the Elephant Café and is really nice) and I can confirm that it is in Britain, Also, Kings Cross Station where platform 9 3/4 is in London😊
I lost it... The High School Musical notebook man... I'm done reached my nerd limit
WHAT TEAM?
Me:Gryffindor!!!
NO ITS WILDCATS
Lauren is so pretty without the Draco wig. 5:54
Lauren is so pretty with the Draco wig 👀
+Miranda Morgan preach
How old were laughing and the Joe's when they started and how old are they now?
She kinda looks like Quinn fabray in glee
@@goingghost8297 Hi it's been a year anyways Lauren's 34 and Joe Walker is 33 now (I don't know Moses off the top of my head and I'm too lazy for google but I'd imagine it's similar bc they're all within a few years of each other) so eleven years ago they'd have been in their early twenties
“Everyone loves Lauren just rolling all over the floor”
She’s not wrong
I love how Darren says "the kids" are learning a new song when they're all pretty much the same age
52 dislikes? Thanks Hermione!
This is all your fault jafar!
Phoebe F Why is it always me?
Evan F What the devil is going on here?!
Brunette As A Potter THAT'S ABSURD
MALFOY YOU LITTLE SHIT
Lauren giggling in 'Different as can be' :D so cute
We miss you Bonnie!
Majestic as hell fucking Unicorn what happened to her?
@@kat8133 I think she left Starkid to go pursue her own stuff...? I'm not too sure
@@silverstonestream5477 She did Christian short films in St Charles IL for a while, she lives around there happily married with three kids now! I've seen her at Meijer a couple times lol
SHES COMING BACK FOR 10 YEARS
Lol when she was like "This person is coming to our show with a guitar, they're gonna try to play along" and then she was like "Oh wait that is our guitarist"
Am I the only one punching their monitor when she said 'thanks for all the hits'?
Amber Shoffren yes
Why do you want to punch her?
@@catlyson3291 Because she said thanks for all the 'hits' instead of 'views'
6:34
"Heey evil dude"
"oo wow"
When she said "ooo wow" she sounded like Star Butterfly from Star vs the forces of evil
Either Lauren Lopez is really short or Joe Walker is really tall
Ollie Yao Both. 😂
@@annaelizabeth9706 I'm late but Joe is actually kinda short
Lauren is 5'0" ...I'm shorter than her.
i love how during different as can be you hear Lauren laughing
I want to be in the show so badly... I really want to participate and create something like that. It's great!
Yes! Fans unite! *Creates musical*
Anna V I just can't dance, sing, or act. But then, yes, I wish I was there
Hey you posted this two years ago but I love your Profile Pic
Bonnie is the REAL Hermanonucleosis! She is so beautiful!! The way she sings "The coolest girl in the world" always gives me shivers.
Watching this after Darren won his Emmy is making me tear up. So proud of him!
lmao devin is at buzzfeed now
Fiona Camm yeah, and I saw AVPM first, and then suddenly I watched buzzfeed and what's like: "wth that's... Cho Chang y'all?"
Cho Chang y'all??
@@albertesolveigbkgaardmorte9356 LEGIT ME
Everything about this is golden. How are every single one of them so funny?
"A sandwich with a bomb inside it"
"Just like the books"
Darren omg :')
THANKS HERMIONE
is anyone else just basically accepting death from joe walker like fuckkkkk😍
But seriously, Hermione is so underrated.
How was this SEVEN YEARS AGO. 😓
The show turns 10 on Tuesday holy fuck
10 YEARS NOW 😱
TEN!!!!
11 years! 😲😲
Pretty much 12 now... this is a strange feeling.
PLEASE THEY LEARNED VOLDY IS GOING DOWN TWO DAYS BEFORE OPENING?? THATS REAL TALENT
It's weird seeing the guy playing Ron with black short hair, I always see him ginger! PS: Is he in Jessie? I swear he looks like Officer Petey.
Yep, he's officer petey :)
Thought so haha.
Omg , i saw it last time on the tv and i taught that , omg i was right
Joey Richter
He was also in glee
He was a Nyada student in the show choir
Bonnie talks so different compared to hermione 😳
"If only we could be that good." Fast forward over a decade later and they are still working together, having fun together and are doing an amazing job with their fanbase. Disney could never.
So true, Disney could never get to the level of starkid, and Im sirius (black)
I run into places and roll on the floor and say "Did someone say Draco Malfoy?"
I have to start doing this lol
When the backstage is better quality than their filming of the actual show lol.
Also, it's so amazing to see how far so many of these people have come in the last like 10 years.
Nick: “Here’s a bomb in the middle of a sandwich.”
Darren: “Just like the books.”
I'm so thankful this exists
“Just like the books”
God, I love Darren's falsetto.
O my god a night troll
I'm not a night troll IM A LITTLE GIRL
i love how everything with starkid is last minute
Where all my Hufflepuffs at? Cuz tbh, i FIND our house to be the best house........ find
What the hell is a hufflepuff
purplecatlover1825 randompizza frick I was gunna say that
I'm here!!!!
I *FOUND* YOU!!!!! 💛🖤💛
Eyyy
“a sandwich with a bomb inside of it” “just like the books”
I've watched this video multiple times over the past 10 years and this time around I died a little when I saw Carlos Valdes running through the crowd at 8:26
i can't imagine having to be backstage with joe in full voldemort costume i would lose it
Dylan responding to Jaime's "but everyone loves you" is me whenever I try to accept a compliment
I'm so glad talented creative passionated artistic persons like you exist ! I love you all so much
Jaime: but everybody loves you!
Dylan: ah yes time to sing the dragon song
5:31
I wish so desperately that I had been able to see this show in person.
bonnie is so pretty c:
Everyone looks so different! x
they really do
YES THEY WERE PRACTICING MY FAVORITE SONG!
Pigfarts?
"If only we could be that good."
Oh Nick, you guys are a thousand times better!
Than the Original Cast......... In my opinion. Cause they did it mostly like the books.
52 dislikes? My father would hear about this.
ohh... bonnie!!! I miss her!!!
I live for this old school shit
Julia and Lauren look like such babies! It's strange to think this was less than 5 years ago.
Ikr I just found out that they were in their early twenties but they look like they’re twelve 😂
"I bet you that guy is coming to the show, with the guitar, and he's gonna try and play along-
-Oh wait, no, that is our guitarist"
*WHEEZING*
It’s crazy how far everyone’s gone from here. Carlos in the Flash, Devin in Ladylike, AJ on the West End, Darren on Broadway, many of these having bigger roles in other musicals
This just gives me such happiness because i haven't been able to rehearse a play in forever this makes me remember how fun it is
Backstage is awesome. the practice before the main thing. the sense of satisfaction after it is over and the feeling of sadness taking over? Backstage is like gold and a thousand times better than the actual performance. you make friends, form a family. as someone who has been in many dances, I can tell you with full confidence that being backstage, is the best experience you can ever get - whether people watch you or not.
Aww💕💕💕 the part where everyone was waiting for the last show made me happy cry! They're so happy!
And to think, when this was all filmed they probably had no idea just how huge and successful they would become. It's nice to be able to look back and see how much they have grown. I'm proud of my little Starkids!!!
Nick Lang dodging paparazzi is _iconic_
5:38 i love how joe is feeling the song XD
"-Hello, it's Bonnie, I play Voldemort
-Bonnie !
-I PLAY HERMIONE !"
x)
Nick: Were making a bomb sandwich
Darren: Yep, just like the books
lolololol
Can't wait for there to be a ridiculously amazing documentary series about this company one day
Love you bonnie and lauren
I love watching this and knowing the success they had. Makes my heart melt.
This reminds me of the production of Grease I was in, we literally finished the car for Greased Lighting a few hours before the show started
I though Hermione in AVPM wasn't really beautiful, but she's actually stunning ! And I love the fact that they made her more "nerdy" for the play. She is so beautiful.
52 dislikes? Thanks, Herman!
malfoy you little shit.
I'd absolutely kill to perform in something like this. They all looked like they were having so much fun and it was absolutely brilliant to watch.
I loved Lauren rolling all over the floor. Ohmygod it made me cry with laughter when I watched it in AVPM
Love how Darren called the cast “the kids”
I've just watched all of the musical and already want to watch it again
seven years later and it still makes me happy :D
I FIND this musical very amusing 😁
You gotta love Bonnie though
WAITING IS THE BEST THING EVER! WAITING IS SO COOL!
Not usually, but it is if you're later watching this GENIUS musical!
