How did you find A Very Potter Musical?

[Book_Pirate]

I was completely unaware that my life was incomplete and then one day in the "Recommened For You" box on my YouTube page was an innicent little link.
It said, "A Very Potter Musical Act 1 Part 1"
I clicked it because it said "Potter" and "Musical"
I am a sucker for any musical, but I had my misgivings...I was absolutely blown away!
It is one of the best musicals I have ever seen, and I've been to Broadway!

I love that it is fan-made and yet makes fun of the books/movie as well.
It is, in a word, perfect.

But...now I have to stop typing because I'm depressed!
How could I have now known about it?
AND, I'm in Michigan!
I could have gone to see it live!
*sigh...*

i just found it, too. it was actually here that i learned about it. but then, i was late to jump on the HP train. (ha! i was going to change it to bandwagon, but realized train is fitting.)

i saw "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" episode of Potter Puppet Pals before reading the books and i didn't even watch past 10 sec. i watched it the other night and thought it was hilarious!

so yeah. don't be depressed for not discovering AVPM. at least you weren't walking into bookstores years back, and when you saw the end caps filled with HP books thought, "what the hell is the big deal?" that was me. *hides in the corner in shame*

It's ok...I still don't get the Lord of the Rings thing...

Before all the LOTR fans attack me, let me just say:

I have at least 5 close friends who LOVE Lord of the Rings, I enjoyed the Hobbit a lot and would even put it in my top ten book list, and I have TRIED to read LOTR multiple times...I just couldn't get into it.
I'll try them again, eventually, but I have a list of about 30 books I want to read right now.

Haha! I read the first two LOTR books, but the third is SO hard to get through. It's just like "Frodo and Sam trek to Mordor..." for over half the book. I absolutely adored the movies though.

I discovered AVPM when a friend of mine posted the link to first act on facebook. I watched the first bit and was like "eh, whatever" then during the summer I was bored and everyone in the fandom was like AVPM!! So I watched it... and love it... and have the soundtrack. It's wonderful.

Friend.

I found out about it from MA's tweet. :)

I saw it when Mugglenet did a little story about it, which was before the edits for content were made, and fell in love with it. I was really blown away by the quality of the writing and acting, there's not one funny line that falls flat because of delivery and there's un-funny lines that become funny because of the delivery. On top of that, it doesn't take itself seriously and works so much better because of the cartoony props, costumes, and limited set. It makes my day.
That being said, some of the vocalists are a bit lacking and as much as I LOVE Lauren Lopez as Draco, her voice has a really noticeable break between her head and chest voices and it's a little weak around the break too. The girls in general aren't all that strong, but fake it pretty well.

I'm with you, I could have been there. I only found out about it a few weeks to late! I found out about it because Lauren Lopez went to the same high school as my brother. She told the drama teacher there about it, she recommended it to my brother, he recommended it to me.

I was voting for the vlogbrothers for this competition thing (I don't remember what it was called but you can find it on the '50 things I'm thankful for' video) and was looking through all the other catagories because I was bored. One of them was something about the year's best Youtube video or something and one of the contestants was AVPM. I thought the name sounded cool, being an HP fan and all, and decided to check it out. I'm really glad I did :-P
