A Very Potter Post

I swear, after posting this you are going to think I am the nerdiest person you've ever read about. But that doesn't matter because I feel this is funny enough to be shared. If it's not, life goes on.

So there's this thing called Youtube, right? That newfangled, teenage website where the most random videos in the world are posted, so that everyone may have a delicious taste of random humor every now and then.
As usual, I must get to the point. Some many months ago I found a series of videos chronicling a play that a group of Harry Potter fans put on in Ann Arbor (I think). It's called a Very Potter Musical and is broken into 2 Acts, the ensuing hilarity spawning over 20 scenes. They wrote original scripts, borrowing various events from the seven HP books and wrote original, humorous songs. It's fan-made, but it's also a parody, poking fun at several characters from the series. My favorite part is that the character Draco Malfoy is played by a girl, and is flawlessly, ridiculously hilarious. She rolls about the stage, taunting Harry Potter and his "lolly-gagging ginger and his stupid mudblood girlfriend." He constantly talks of his father, Pigfarts (the wizardry school on Mars), and how he "wants Hermione Granger!....*quiet voice* and a rocketship."

Needless to say, it's hilarious. Even if you don't appreciate HP, you will find it wildly entertaining. I hope...
