A Very Potter Sequel (often shortened to AVPS) is a musical with music and lyrics by Darren Criss[1][2][3][4] and a book by Matt Lang, Nick Lang, and Brian Holden.[5] The story is a parody, based on several of the Harry Potter novels (particularly Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) by J. K. Rowling, as well as their film counterparts.
A Very Potter Sequel picks up where A Very Potter Musical left off with Lord Voldemort destroyed. Lucius Malfoy then decides to go back in time to Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts to destroy him before he becomes a bigger threat than he already is.
The musical was performed May[4] 14[6]-16, 2010, on the University of Michigan campus. It was produced by StarKid Productions[1][3][4][6][7][8] and directed by Matt Lang.[5] The musical starred Darren Criss as Harry Potter,[3][4][9] Joey Richter as Ron Weasley, Bonnie Gruesen as Hermione Granger, Lauren Lopez as Draco Malfoy, and Joe Walker as Dolores Umbridge.[5] The video version of the musical premiered in its entirety at Infinitus, a Harry Potter convention.[3][8] The video premiered on YouTube July 22, 2010, and within two days had gotten over 160,000 views, making the StarKid Productions page the most viewed of the day.[3]
A Very Potter Sequel is followed by A Very Potter Senior Year.
