So here's what I thought was the better of the Very Potter Musical series years ago... and this time I have to say... I didn't like it better than the original. I liked that it was kind of a sequel and a prequel and there were a lot of great scenes and jokes... In this one we actually see James and Lilly and that I thought was a nice touch that was missing from the first musical... and we get to see a little of what Harry and Ron's lives were like before Hogwarts... which is also cool.
I thought a lot of the characters in this one were really funny, or they had funny bits as opposed to the original movie. I always thought Umbridge was really funny, I liked the Scarf of Sexual Preference, Sirius, Lupin, Wormtail, Arthur Weasley.... just a lot of really funny. Lucious Malfoy was good too... and I have to say I wish he was in it a little bit more. He's a really good singer and he was in the end of the musical quite a lot and I just kept thinking "I wish he had been in the beginning a little bit more."
I did like that Dumbledore had a little more of a big role. He's very talented, he also played Jafar in Twisted and I just really like him. I liked his flirtation with Umbridge and then he found out that she was a woman and disapparated. It was just really funny.
The problem I have with some of the Starkid musicals is that it gets kind of weird in the 2nd act... this was a little weird in the 2nd act. I didn't like when Umbridge's mother was haunting her... I just thought that was a little too much. Idk it was funny... but if they didn't have that in there, I would have thought Umbridge was still crazy and evil. It didn't do all that much and it was just a little too weird.
And the character "bits" in this one were pretty funny. Malfoy's diaper, Lavender Brown crying, Cho Chang as the "mean girl", Ron having a crush on Hermione and not noticing it, just a lot of funny stuff that I thought was good and a fun change from the first musical a lot.
I also don't love the Prisoner of Azkaban... so maybe that's why I didn't love this one a whole lot... they aren't bad... I would still recommend reading the Prisoner of Azkaban, seeing the movie and seeing this too if you really like Harry Potter and if you like musicals. It's just a funny thing. I like the Starkid musicals a lot... this just isn't as good as the first Very Potter Musical. It was still really funny... just less good than I remembered.
