WARNING: May contain spoilers. Probably won't, but I can't promise anything.I'm not going to pretend I'm some die-hard starkidpotter fan. I'm not. I JUST watched A Very Potter Musical about a week ago and then I found out there was a sequel and peed my diaper *cough* I mean I watched it.
This is kind of a review...kind of an analysis...kind of a rant. You know me...
So, first off, I found it highly ironic that even though the sequel takes place a year before the original, it's loads more crude.
I liked the first one better. I'm more of a fan of situational humor rather than humor that makes a bunch of pop-culture references. Not to say that there wasn't plenty to laugh at in the sequel, but the first one was more suited to my taste. The sequel is more extreme--more outrageous.Sometimes it's a good thing, but most of the time it's not.
And just for the record, I like Joe Walker's Voldy TONS more than I like his Umbridge. Joe Walker's performance as Voldemort really can't topped. Umbridge just kind of annoyed me.
The music was more mature (in a good way). Darren Criss' songwriting skills have really developed and it shows in his evolved lyrics and composition. My favorite song? Hermione Can't Draw. It touched me on a deep, personal level. I also can't draw...not even if I'm reading a how-to-draw book.
Everything from the AVMP that made you go, "huh" is perfectly explained in AVPS. And it really brings everything full circle.
There was plenty to laugh at and plenty to cringe at. I wouldn't recommend this musical to anyone under the age of 13 due to strong language and mature themes.
There's really nothing more to say except...
Over 600 house elves die in toilet related incidents every year.
Spread the word. With your help the potty can be a better place for the elves.

I missed Malfoy's rolling on the floor in the sequel. It happened a few times, but not nearly enough. XD I was also begging and waiting for Lucias Malfoy to make some sort of Labyrinth/Jareth reference (it was literally the first thing that leaped into my mind when I saw his costume), but that never happened...
There were things I liked about both of them and things I disliked about both of them, but I sort of take them together as a whole now and enjoy the whole caboodle. It's full of far more talent and humor than I ever could pull off, methinks.
Are you serious? I missed the rolling on the floor like a chopped off appendage. It did not happen enough.
It's definitely better than going to the movies. That is FOR SURE.
