Harry Potter: The Musical, you are my favorite. Thank you, students from the University of Michigan, for bringing this kind of joy into the world.
After the jump, check out the Voldemort-led tap-dancing number and the big finale.
Seriously, I cannot stress this enough: This is amazing. [via Buzzfeed]
On a scale of awesomeness, this is cranked to 11.
haha on a scale of 1 to 10 i would have to give it an 8.5 maybe a 9. nothing above a 9.8 because there’s always room for improvement.
You have just made my 14-year old daughter and her friends really, really happy. (Me too!)
In all fairness to the dance world, that “Tap dancing” is just marginally tap dancing. But my overall reaction is … pretty darn funny.
There are no words for this. That’s how amazing this is.
Wooooooooooooooooow. I am floored. That was totally wicked!
I go to Michigan and this was the most amazing show ever! Best musical theater program in the country! So original!
Wow, brilliant! They deserve a standing ovation for dedication and sheer creativity! It really is so well done and you can just tell from the performances that they’re big fans of the source material. I’ve heard rumors that they might be releasing a soundtrack! If that’s true, I’d be first in line to buy it! They’re done a spectacular job and should be proud.
Just wait until JK sues them, like the fan with the website when he wrote the encyclopedia
Skeptical – The man JKR sued lifted entire paragraphs from her books and just rearranged them into encycoplodeia form without adding any material of his own. The guy was a con-artist! These kids aren’t making any money off the musical and they have created their own material (songs, jokes, skits). It’s really not much differnt than all the wizard rock bands out there that JKR approves of!
PS: I am jealous of anyone who got to watch this live! It looks so much fun!
Harry Potter, The Musical… you are my favorite too! Is it still copyright infringement if they did this for free? Or for charity? How do you know they charged for this performance?

.TEAM STARKIDPOTTER!
where can you find the whole thing? I would love to see it
Youtube.After you watch it,watch A Very Potter Sequel.Also,its called A Very Potter Musical.
I go to Michigan and was associated with this production. Just to clarify a majority of the students in this show are in the Acting Department and NOT the Musical Theatre Department.
Your name is Devin? As in, the girl who played Cho Chang?!
OMDWG! I know this is late… but are you Devin Lytle?
It’s most likely not copyright infringement because it is more a parody than any sort of rip-off of the book. It looks like it mocks the book more than it steals the essence of the book.
It’s sooo Long, but Oh So GOOD!!! I watched the whole thing and they clearly put alot of work into it and they did a WONDERFUL job!! And I don’t even like musicals.
