It blows my mind and warms my heart that Joel and Lauren still show up every damn time Darren performs this song, no matter how much time has passed or their careers have drifted apart. _That's_ friendship.
@@violet-fl9ve Yep. They got engaged prior to COVID. Then COVID hit so everything got put on hold. They just got married a few months ago, if I recall correctly.
The fact that songs from this silly little musical performed by a bunch of university students in 2009 with a tiny budget are still being performed today and at the freaking LONDON PALLADIUM of all places makes me so happy
I’m a writer, and I still go back and laugh at all of the cringey shit I wrote in high school 😂 Artists never lose love for the work they create, especially the ones they had the most fun making. In fact, the love grows stronger with time.
I’m not seeing enough people talk about the fact that the guy on the keys is Clark Baxtresser, one of the OG music directors and songwriters for Starkid Makes me so happy to see them all still doing stuff together ❤
It's so cool to hear how much they've improved as singers from the original RUclips recording to now. Especially Joey and Lauren! Their voices are so much smoother, and they have all gained such confidence on stage, it's wonderful to see!
Hearing Joey for the first time in so long actually made me cry because I used to be so obsessed with Starship, specifically I Wanna Be, so his voice is so special to me, thank you for uploading this
AVPM is the only way I can still enjoy anything HP anymore. Anything else just makes me feel sad, but I can still listen to these songs and smile brightly
When avpm was having a moment, our dorm mounted a production and I was cast as Dumbledore. I'm a bass. I hit "WELCOME" on pitch once, and held it forever. Still the most impressive bit of singing I've ever managed.
Thank you thank you thank you for uploading and thanks to Darren, Joey, Lauren, and Carrie for this spectacular performance. It's been a terrible week but this made me smile so hard. Much needed, much appreciated.
Thank you for the upload! I saw Darren & Carrie agree to the Hermione cameo on Twitter, and was unsure if I would be able to actually hear a recording of it 😭
The life collision of Carrie Hope Fletcher (who I remember watching on RUclips in 2011 with all the CharlieIsSoCoolLike extended universe vloggers) performing this is both wild and such a perfect casting oh my god.
Right? It’s impressive! Would have thought there’d be way more screaming/singing along, but the on-stage performers are pretty clear. Not that I mind starkid fans having fun 🎶
@@stephman3154 that's what I was expecting, way more noise and screaming. Either the Starkids are in awe and can't make noise, or this camera has a way of filtering noise out!
Ahhh I’m so glad someone got a good video of it. I was literally going to film the whole thing but the videos came out bad because I was dancing and screaming too much 😭😭😭
so many more clear harmonies!!!! oh my god! i cant believe i didn't see this when i was on a like a 6 month darren crisis binge last fall and winter haha
She's also the sister of Tom Fletcher from the band McFly. She starred in his stage musical The Christmasaurus a few years ago. What a voice! ruclips.net/video/92UpSoKuqAM/видео.htmlsi=ftwlfjuh7agf8u1w
Thank you so much for recording and posting this! I was equal parts thrilled and heartbroken over this thinking I wouldn’t get to see it at all, still would have been incredible to have been there ♥️
I wasn't sure how many people in the audience were starkid fans until everyone lost it for Lauren coming in and honestly still a mood
at the evening show, everyone was screaming like crazy from the beginning 😭😭
It blows my mind and warms my heart that Joel and Lauren still show up every damn time Darren performs this song, no matter how much time has passed or their careers have drifted apart. _That's_ friendship.
Joey and Darren ARE best friends. And Lauren and Joey are married to each other. So... Not that surprising, but still great to see.
@@ForeverDegenerate I meant specifically Joey and Lauren's careers drifting from Darren's.
@@ForeverDegenerate Ron married Draco? Well well well
@@violet-fl9ve Yep. They got engaged prior to COVID. Then COVID hit so everything got put on hold. They just got married a few months ago, if I recall correctly.
the pain i got from seeing “joel”
Knowing Darren sings avpm songs in his own shows makes me so incredibly happy
Well he wrote them. He wouldn't be much of a songwriter if he shunned his own songs, would he? 😜
The fact that songs from this silly little musical performed by a bunch of university students in 2009 with a tiny budget are still being performed today and at the freaking LONDON PALLADIUM of all places makes me so happy
lauren really brought the "draco in leather pants" phrase to life
Oh wow I didn't even realize!
The crowd shouting "WHATEVER I SAY!" during Laurens' part gave me life.
it’s incredible to me that he’s still singing this song over a decade later
Yeahhhhh
I’m a writer, and I still go back and laugh at all of the cringey shit I wrote in high school 😂 Artists never lose love for the work they create, especially the ones they had the most fun making. In fact, the love grows stronger with time.
and he still can't get the lyrics right 😂
"back to the place where our story begins" has a whole different meaning now
BRO ILL SOB. ILL SOB . I WILL OPENLY WEEP
omg stop no i wasnt supposed to cry today
I’m not seeing enough people talk about the fact that the guy on the keys is Clark Baxtresser, one of the OG music directors and songwriters for Starkid
Makes me so happy to see them all still doing stuff together ❤
Darren's voice has only gotten stronger over the years. Joey and Lauren are still great as Ron and Draco. Carrie Hope Fletcher is amazing.
Joey's voice has improved so much. It's absolutely insane how much work he must have put into it!
It's so cool to hear how much they've improved as singers from the original RUclips recording to now. Especially Joey and Lauren! Their voices are so much smoother, and they have all gained such confidence on stage, it's wonderful to see!
14-year-old me would have perished. Would have simply ceased existing at Carrie Hope Fletcher singing AVPM
This feels like such a weird crossover! I’ve watched Carrie for years and star kid and they’ve collided in the best way
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
Younger me would have been frothing at the mouth over this collab. Present me is just internally screaming while scream singing along.
Never thought i would see them together!
So glad we’re all having the same moment about this lol.
What happenednto the original Hermione?? I love her but just wondering what happened
Lauren Lopez, making Draco in Leather Pants a reality!
lauren is just a god tier performer, she always brings it
I knowwww
It’s definitely surreal to see A Very Potter Musical performing with Carrie Hope Fletcher. Even more surreal to see it being performed in London
This AND Nerdy Prudes Must Die in less than a week? This is such a treat, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for uploading this! Carrie is a perfect Hermione and it sounds so good with an english accent haha
Yeah Carrie is incredible 😭
I agreee
I l9ve her but just wondering, what happened to the original?
the greatest crossover of the year. my childhood self would explode from joy
4:29 Ahaha 😄they tried their best but no one could go low like Jim Povolo ❤
Goyle Rulez
this is SO CLEAN, love darren as dumbledore
Darren's singing technique really has improved a lot since 2009, hasn't it? 😁
Sameeee
Better audio quality than the original. Still so much fun after all these years!
Not Carrie geeking out whilst performing with them! 😂
Carrie, you are such a star!
I was desperately searching for someone who filmed this performance yesterday so thank you so much for this!
Carrie is repoing those Hermione harmonies so well! Love hearing her beautiful clear voice in this
Seeing Carrie sing this with them makes Tumblr-era me so, so happy. Thank you for posting!
Hearing Joey for the first time in so long actually made me cry because I used to be so obsessed with Starship, specifically I Wanna Be, so his voice is so special to me, thank you for uploading this
AVPM is the only way I can still enjoy anything HP anymore. Anything else just makes me feel sad, but I can still listen to these songs and smile brightly
“I Wanna Be” and “Status Quo” are still genuinely two of my favorite Songs period. Make me cry every time.
When avpm was having a moment, our dorm mounted a production and I was cast as Dumbledore. I'm a bass. I hit "WELCOME" on pitch once, and held it forever. Still the most impressive bit of singing I've ever managed.
the pyrotechnics when he says "hogwarts"...who knew this silly little musical would endure and make it so far
I love how Carrie momentarily forgets to kneel and Joey looks so calm and cool about it - he probably does the 'theater lie' so well
carrie looks like she's having the best time, makes me so happy
“Joey, Darren, Lauren-“
“VERONICA?!”
Joey Richter still doing the Disney knees in 2023
Thank you thank you thank you for uploading and thanks to Darren, Joey, Lauren, and Carrie for this spectacular performance. It's been a terrible week but this made me smile so hard. Much needed, much appreciated.
that entrance by lauren/draco tho!!! i was mesmerised
Mind blown. And then "draco" entered. Wow this is wo wholesome.
First time hearing Lauren’s part in American accent
Strange but beautiful to see Starkid and Carrie Hope Fletcher in the same screen.
I followed carrie during this era of RUclips. I love how she plays up her accent in this
The era of RUclips…when it was posted and you made the comment?
omg is that Clark Baxtresser on the piano or am i going mad??????
It is haha I was so surprised he was there when I saw the show
he sang a bit with darren and joey in the show i watched !!
Thank you for the upload!
I saw Darren & Carrie agree to the Hermione cameo on Twitter, and was unsure if I would be able to actually hear a recording of it 😭
I was at this show. My face hurt from smiling and cheering too much. Darren's energy and talent is out of this world
Oh my gooooood ❤❤
Also lauren lopez in these trousers is the reason im gay
Years later and I still can't help but sing along to every lyric! Damn that was cool!
The life collision of Carrie Hope Fletcher (who I remember watching on RUclips in 2011 with all the CharlieIsSoCoolLike extended universe vloggers) performing this is both wild and such a perfect casting oh my god.
Man the sound on this video is so good. Fantastic clip.

This song never fails to make me smile like a LUNAtic
Hermione with a English accent in this context is WILD
I love Carrie and starkid so I was so excited when this was a thing!! Thank you for uploading it!!!
It makes my heart so happy that Darren is still performing this song 🥰🥰🥰
This brought me more joy than I thought was possible
Ok. Darren is no Dylan, but not a bad Dumbledore.
Thank you Thiago, you're doing God's work
Young me would have died for a AVPM 4K recording so could not pass the chance 😭
so many more clear harmonies!!!! oh my god! i cant believe i didn't see this when i was on a like a 6 month darren crisis binge last fall and winter haha
I don’t think non theater people understand the are in the presence of theater goddess Carrie Hope Fletcher omfg
LMFAO
She's also the sister of Tom Fletcher from the band McFly. She starred in his stage musical The Christmasaurus a few years ago. What a voice! ruclips.net/video/92UpSoKuqAM/видео.htmlsi=ftwlfjuh7agf8u1w
Did not expect to get emotional over this…
Oh my merlin! It's James, Sirius, Lily! And of course our queen Lauren!
Carrie is the best Hermione alternative since Bonnie! and she's preggs?? what a lucky little baby
It's gonna come out singing Starkid
this is so nostalgic and still so iconic
Omg all of my favorite actors
Starkid with Carrie! Such a great surprise ❤
I had a massive grin on my face this whole video. Thanks for uploading this!
Every time this song starts I get chills
the evening show was absolutely spectacular and our hermione killed it but mannn i would have loved to see carrie

This brings me such joy that they still meet up and sing together ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for filming and sharing this!! It just makes me so happy to relive it
Dying over Carrie Hope Fletcher
I would love to buy this version of this song on iTunes
Thank you so much for recording and posting this! I was equal parts thrilled and heartbroken over this thinking I wouldn’t get to see it at all, still would have been incredible to have been there ♥️
What a delightful throwback! 🥰
Omg Carrie!!!
Was anyone else disappointed Lauren didn't fully commit and wear a blonde wig? 🤣
“What I lack in looks” being the prettiest human beings on the planet smh
this is so awesome and random, i rewatched AVPM with my friend who had never seen it, and this jsut pops up. totally awesome.
I had the biggest smile on my face watching this
Lauren was my first crush and it’s good to know some things never change. This made me so happy to see them all so happy :)
THANK. YOU. SO. FCKING. MUCH. OMFG. 🥺
This is the second best thing to happen this week! Thanks for uploading this video! That just gave me soooo much Joy!
