OMGosh, this is just hilarious. It's two hours long and I've only watched the first scene, but if it's any indication, this is really awesome.

Erm.. there's some adultish stuff in there, just so you know.

[Intuition]

You are awesome, AM. I can't wait until the kids are asleep so I can start watching!

[Sasharna]

I'm on Act 1, Scene 4 so far. Thanks!

I have a feeling how I am going to spend my night once DS is in bed!

[annettemarie]

Act 1, part 5-- the Quirrel and Voldie duet-- is the bestest so far.

I watched all of act 1 last night. It's so good. The woman playing Malfoy is brilliant. If only Malfoy was like that in the movies.

[Sasharna]

So, I've been watching the view count on the Act 1, Scene 1 video. When Annette first posted this thread, there had been only 300 views. Now there are nearly 66,000. Being present near the beginning of a new internet phenomenon makes me feel all squishy.

AM, where did you hear of it first?

Checkmated.com, which is a Ron and Hermione fan fiction site at which I may or may not have stories.

I saw this on mugglenet! I love Draco writhing around!

Thanks!

Bwahahaha! As a fan of musical theater and Harry Potter, I thank you. Awesome parody!

Marking this to remind me to check it out later... :

They had to take it down, I think to edit it to slightly change the audio so they don't get sued. I would think it would fall under the satire exception, and it's clearly in good fun and they're not trying to make money off of it, but they're playing it safe. I only got through most of Act I! I want to see the rest. I was cracking up! I'm so impressed by the music and lyrics, too

[annettemarie]

Aw, man. I never got to finish it! I hope when it comes back they have subtitles for the lyrics on the bottom of the screen. The new "Message from StarKidPotter" was pretty funny. "The Musical That Must Not Be Named".

Subbing for when the video comes back up. I can't wait to see this!

[annettemarie]

There's a new "Behind the Scenes" video up:

It's back up! Woot! Now I can make DH watch it when he gets off of work!

[annettemarie]

Yay! If you follow them on Facebook, they have some great stuff there as well.

Oh my god. This is freakin great!!
