We Went To The Midnight Showing Of Half-Blood Prince

[elmoweasley23]

Half Blood Prince: Darren went to a midnight showing like all the other fans.

Deathly Hallows Part 1: Darren went to the premiere in New York city.

Deathly Hallows Part 2: Darren went to the premiere in London with all the stars including J.K. Rowling herself. :)

[StarkidPotter3434]

AJ is soo cute :)

"Really? You guys got me a sweater?"

[SeaChick111]

To think, if the StarKids did that now, they would be mobbed by fans who knew every lyric :)

[saintpattysday16]

AJ is so touched he got his own sweater.

[Lunablack98]

Is Nick Lang a Hufflepuff?! I FIND that amazing!!!! Hufflepuff pride!

[emily95983]

i wish my friends were that cool

[mudblood228]

um starkid rocks! during the premiere of deathly hallows part 2 me and my friends burst into gotta get back to hogwarts and harry freaking potter and all the rest and some people joined us...other people looked at us like we were out of our minds but i thought it was the best thing EVER!

[kittykat9716]

So, AJ is REALLY HAPPY (which is adorable btw) when he finds out they got him a sweater, but isn't it the one that says, "kick me"? hahhaah i THOUGHT so;) ps. hey team star kid! lets get together in Michigan and do this for Halloween, k?

[ImAStarshipRangerr]

If I was there I go to the back of the line so I could stand with them and fangirl over them and sing with them and become their best friends...

[isahorcrux]

i think it would be the funniest thing to walk down the street and see these goobers.

[ilovemascara15]

and now people are outside how to succeed singing avpm songs. it all pays off darren. so fricking proud.

[allcapsfan134]

*joo not join

[allcapsfan134]

@iiCandyClouds I must yur friend I would totally do that with join!

[lovelikearubberband]

i wished that i had friends who would do that with me... and then i laughed because i relized that my friends would because thats the kind of losers we are:)

[kirkie1996]

Darren Wore that shirt in little white lie <3

[808Ladypride]

Can we have a huge Potter nerd group come together and do this on Halloween?

[DarrensGirl1958]

I always get butterflies when I hear Darren play Granger Danger (: I don't know why...

[SchuesterSnape]

I really love how they're just strolling down the street at midnight dressed in Harry Potter costumes playing the guitar and singing songs from AVPM like it's the most normal thing in the world. Love these guys. <3

[SydneyMorgan1998]

I love the sweatshirt that says "kick me". Lol

[hpfan8312]

My mums the same it only takes about 10 mins to get to the cinema and back

[sagitaripotter97]

its so sad how I was never able to go to the midnight showings because my mom wouldn't drive me to the theater......

[megan747]

the keyboard makes me laugh every time ahaha :)

[OhHowiWishiCouldSing]

1:11 is what I dream about at night.

[SlytherinChick95]

I WAS THERE... just kidding. But in spirit, I WAS THERE singing like a maniac!

[MsDarrenChriss]

ive done this before<3

[MuleicornRedvines]

I saw like the same video (though longer) from the group of girls we saw at 1:45 !!!!

[musicislife88598]

@MuleicornRedvines What's the link?

[MuleicornRedvines]

@musicislife88598 I have no idea...... I watched it like a week ago, and don't remember... :)

[lmansleyx82]

and who would have thought that, that beautiful, odd boy with round glasses, big hair, and a guitar would end up being one of the biggest and most influential stars on glee in a year or so...

[TheShmiShmi]

I like how they got AJ a sweater and it says "kick me" on the back.

[HarryPotterAddict11]

You just became even more totally awesome. <3

[cheesepuffs90210]

Darren: the guy who runs up and down the street playing guitar. XD lessthanthree

[xSavemenowx]

and dear people laughing in the background, SUCK IT!!! :D YOU SHALL NEVER BE THAT AWESOME!!! Love starkid fans everywhere

[xSavemenowx]

Fast forward 2 years later, the starkid cast are potterheads (and non) hereos, darren is FUCKING FAMOUS (thanks glee! *Joey voice*) and lauren is still HOT

[jenlaawesome]

Brian looks so young!

[gabeally]

1:48 Yellow car!

[CharlotteRoseOG]

I think I might actually be about to explode!!! This is the ultimate best thing EVER!

[TheFina29]

Just when I thought I couldn't respect these guys any more...

[hermionecannotdraw12]

I love how happy AJ sounds when they say they got him a sweater.

[TheRandomeGurl]

To think just 2 years ago Darren was a fan at the midnight release... now he walked down the red carpet premiere in LONDON. 

[TheDisneyQueen93]

That would have made my life if I could have been there when you did that. I would have probably followed you guys to the premiere singing along with you guys!!!!!! Go Team Starkid!!!!!

[xXTeamLancelotXx]

I went to the premiere and I have to say this just makes me love them more :D

[klace20]

Non-chilantly walking down the street singing songs...

[xTheFelixFelicisx]

I do this all the time:)

[LieSjjxD]

I love this.

[calliecookie2349]

people are giving them weird looks as their walking down if i saw them id be like.... DARREN FREAKING CRISS!! AHHHHHH #FANGIRLIN

[NinaStarkid247]

I cried. Tears. Of. Joy.

[SnarrySiremus101]

did the back of his sweater rillysay kick me? omg..lOL

[ThePotterfreak17]

when AJ found out he got a sweater. he was like in awe. AWW AJ I LOVE YOU!

[ArmoredViolinist]

Okay, I will fangirl to anyone who gives me their time of day. So of course I show them this video. They're all like, "What?!?! You worship those losers running around?" HELL YEAH!!!! I worship the ground they walk on!

[BeyondTheStars2]

This is fangirl heaven.

[bread4butter]

did anyone notice his jumper says "kick me" on the back! lol :D

[LiquifyLuck]

Oh man, what I would give for them just to continue going down streets randomly, with their instruments, and singing songs that just bring back the memories. Just being amazing Starkids like they are.

[PaperHeartxoxoify]

OMG! Walking down the street playing guitar and singing... god, how I love these assholes

[daforceweilder7]

I wish I would've heard of Starkid in time for the premiere, I would've totally sang AVPM songs while waiting in line! Oh well, at least dressing up as Filch=best idea ever.

[narwhalgal]

this looks exactly like what me and my friends did.

[redrosegal22]

 These people are my heroes. I love them. With a burning passion. <3

[ronhermantina]

Just take a guitar to the cinema like you do....

[randomgal13]

@ronhermantina what about the damn KEYBOARD? xD they're not the easiest things to carry down the street (let alone while PLAYING it!)

[starkidrosie1]

Jealous I wasn't allowed to see any of the midnight shows I wish I was a starkid or even just in collage

[iiCandyClouds]

Why can't I have friends like these? No one I know would run down the sidewalk singing songs about Harry Potter on the way to a midnight showing dressed like characters from Harry Potter with me.

[LoveislouderDL]

@iiCandyClouds my friend would we are obsessed

[PaperHeartxoxoify]

@iiCandyClouds I WOULD.

[ktstrawberryz]

@iiCandyClouds thats funny... cuz i did exactly that.... lol ;)

[swiimgfreek]

@iiCandyClouds To bad I am not your friend because I would so do that with you. Me's not afraid!!!

[universal806]

@iiCandyClouds Really? That was my entire town, so no one would even think you'd stand out xD

[YokaiPrincess]

@iiCandyClouds I would.

[mazzieeema]

We went to the priemere of hp and the Deathly Hallows part 2 dressed like the starkid versions of the caracters and we were singing songs from AVPM and AVPS, peolpe looked at us like we were really grazy, but we had so much fun! XD there were even a couple of people who wanted to take a photo with us

[TCMRMCfan14]

Wow, it worldwide be so strange to go around with a guitar and a keyboard and sing along the streets! However, I would totally do it! I'm that crazy girl who shot a Hunger Games movie covered in mud and then walked around a town to go and wash my face, and the girl who went to see HPDH2 in my robes, even though I live in Italy and everyone finds things like that crazy and ridiculous! People laughed at me but I still loved every second of it!

[90939smiles]

"KICK ME" Ahahahaa, nice touch.

[underscore3836]

which starkids went????

[horsegirl526]

You got me a sweater??? I love you guys so much. And I can't believe they brought a keyboard. These people are my soul brothers!!!!!!!

[TheStarGazer93]

ohmygod they make me so happy i want to cry :')

<3

[Hawaii04beach]

These people were made to be my best friends.

[RockMyStripySocks]

I would not stand there calmly if people from Starkid were stood in front of me singing.

[MusicKeepsMeAlive2]

Why this video made me cry, I don't know. But it did.

[cragside15]

when i went to see the last hp (in england) i was singing 'voldemort is going down' for ages before it started until i realised no one knew what i was on about :( more potter fans seriously need to watch avpm etc

[fuzluv95]

@cragside15 So true! I try to get all my friends to read Harry Potter. And then, I try to get all my friends who have read Harry Potter to watch AVPM.

[chelseysplendiforous]

Gotta love theater kids.... YAY THESPIANS!!!!

[ThePurpleRabbit21]

i wish i was there and saw that. I would have been all: O: then :')

[StigGT2]

Walking down the street at night, in Hogwarts uniform, with a guitar and a keyboard, singing songs from a Harry Potter musical, on the way to a Harry Potter midnight showing.

Like some bosses.

[isingfashion]

They're so cute walking down the street singing and playing various instruments. What dorks!!! And I totally want to be one!

[LuvinTheAznLife]

i can't help but smile through this whole video.

:D

[lerhemichelle]

Jealousssssssssss



[darrencrissbliss]

The girl on 1:47. O.O I'm pretty sure that I saw her in fer more youtube videos about starship and Darren Criss

fangirl from the very beggining :D

[musixvids4life1]

i love u guys so much <3 i wish i went to the same preiere as u guys!

[randomgal13]

lol Darren when he's having his scar put on xD "Ow ow oooww" :D

and I can't believe [I couldn't see who it was] is actually taking a full on keyboard down the street! They're not exactly easy to carry on your own xD

[katiegirl189189]

@randomgal13 im pretty sure that it was AJ

[ObsessiveDCdissorder]

@tabitha12342k10

I would NEVA wash my hand again if Darren touched it (even if it was before he was on Glee!!)

[rachelfrench1992]

I burst out laughing at 1:18. Who else has the guts to do that in front of hundreds of people!??!?!?

[JustAlyss7]

"Guys do I get a sweater? I really get a sweater?! You guys got a sweater for me?

-Yeah man you're in team Gryffindor!"

[AnimeLuver16712]

@JustAlyss7 It says Kick me on the back XD

[officialY1p]

if I was their I'd either start singing along to everything their singing,or pass out because starkids are singing right near me

[Siveywiveyx]

My friends and I did something a lot like this for DH Part 2- dressing up together beforehand, walking to the theatre in full costume, and (because they backed out) my one-woman rendition of Get Back To Hogwarts, helped by a random woman in the row in front of me who started singing along about halfway into the first verse. Now, if we were one-tenth as awesome as Team Starkid, that would make me very, very happy. ;D

[beial007]

1:57

COURAGE

[orgxiii4ever]

i really wish i would have born 1990

[hugesbspfreak]

when I got to the theater for HP7part2, after standing in line when I got back with my lunch, some starkids just start singing, soon everyone was. When the local news came, they even got us to sing and they'd use it as a transition between the news and the credits, but they didn't use it, but they did use my interview :D and most of the starkids(me included) dressed up too

[lollyndsey]

i wish i walked to the deathly hollows premiere like that; singing with my friends and dressed up in the house you most admire.. *goes to find time turner*

[suchalittleBADASS]

I love how Darren's the loudest singer when they sing Granger Danger! These guys are awesome! :)

[maewe]

I want to see more of this!

[longdistancebamboo]

Dropped practicality in favor of fun and silliness? Story of my life :D

[EVideoJ77]

Great hat, Brian. Great hat...

[GothicQueenie]

This is why it sucks being thirteen when the LAST harry potter film comes out. You can't do that with your friends at the midnight showing

[MsNinjaPigs]

@GothicQueenie Talk about it =_= fml I WANNA BE BORN IN 1990 DX

[LoveSami1111]

Yeah. See those kids? See those 'losers' running around dressed up for the midnight premier of harry Potter? Yeah, the ones that are singing.

They're my heroes <3

[LonerStarlight]

@LoveSami1111 this comment.....amazing and true

[OhHeyItsKenzi]

Oh, ahahaha, poor AJ!

he was all excited that they got him a sweater, and it said 'kick me'

xD aww.

[farrellyDC]

these are the only guys hu can pull this off without gettin pulled ova by the cops :D

[4lifeshaytards]

Darren Criss!!!! Its so amazing that he went from this, the dorky kid going to see HP  with his friends in matching sweaters, to having such a big role in such a big show!!! <3 its inspiring!! Plus hes suppermegafoxyawesomehot!!!!! < i love Darren!!!

[TheHufflepuffFinder]

sounds stupid but this is inspiring. its exactly what me and my friends would do, what we WERE doing at the midnight premier of deathly hallows part 2 look where they are, thats where anyone can go. im such a nerd, but i just love these guys

[tabitha12342k10]

Darren Criss high-fived my hand at the Harry Potter 7 part 2 premiere. I'm posting from heaven right now.

He's amazing!! <3

[AnimeStargrl15]

@tabitha12342k10

OH. MY. GOD. You're so lucky!!!

[tabitha12342k10]

@AnimeStargrl15 Haha, I'm sooooooo incredibly grateful for it!! I love him to bits <3

[morganlizzie23]

i was fangirl this entire vid!!!! XD

[evilaislynn23]

1:16 .. who's sweater says "kick me" ? :p

[HaunaMyKiki]

@evilaislynn23 Eric's, I think? It's hard to tell from the back...=/

[lizardlee10]

@evilaislynn23 I think it was AJ's

[evilaislynn23]

@lizardlee10 I don't think it's AJ's, because when they're singing "different as can be" you can see the guy with the sweater, and you can also see another guy with a keyboard, and i'm pretty sure AJ has the keyboard :p

Either way, i really hope whoever it was knew that their sweater said kick me xD

[littletinycrackdance]

LOL. Imagine if you just saw them walking up the street singing at the top of their voice!!

[kimeholl]

Okay, so Darren Criss covers Disney songs, is a Harry Potter fan and (later on) portrays a gay man in a musical Tv Show. I feel like this man was created for all the girls on Tumblr.

-Could he stop being so perfect?

[geekshow2100]

@kimeholl

No. No he can't.... ;-)

[22BroadwayGurl]

I would scream if i saw them walking up the street.

[starkidstruck]

@meghna96

his channel username thingy is called Iclemyer

[starkidstruck]

@PurpleandBlackPandas

No way... U can find all that out on google.

[PurpleandBlackPandas]

@starkidstruck It was a joke. I wanted to see how far I could get with it. She was the one who suggested that I was Darren, and I thought "what the hell" and went with it.

[CJTJ07]

This is why I love Starkid. Dedication.

[ChOpPeRs0908]

Hahaha just walking down the street dressed as harry potter singing songs at the top of your voice with your guitar and keyboard..... as you do! hahaha Legend!

[hyperspazola]

Yea we're just gonna casually stroll down the street dressed as Harry Potter characters with an electric keyboard and a guitar singing a random song about falling in love with Hermione Granger, no big deal. Same old everyday stuff for these guys.

[Ellkay44]

If they sand on the streets now they'd get mobbed by fangirls..

[ParaTobEnce]

Oh, what I wouldn't give to see them walking down my street singing Granger Danger.....

[AnaysiaTheTRex]

I REALLY hope to meet Team Starkid, knowing I live in the same state as them. It would make my life. ;D

[meghna96]

auw wish i was there....DARREN I LOVE U AND THINK U R REALLY HOT!!! (took me forever to realize that THIS was ur utube channel!) umm....and UR REALLY GREAT ON GLEE!!!!!

[PurpleandBlackPandas]

[meghna96]

@PurpleandBlackPandas auw poo.... i got excited......wait.... are YOU darren criss?????? ( u should message me if u r!!!) cuz thats awesome! and "u" r super talented!!!!!

[PurpleandBlackPandas]

Am I proven?

[meghna96]

@PurpleandBlackPandas ahaha NO!!!! um the whole world knows that! its all over his imdb page....and i googled it. yah u r SO not proven. eh don't bother urself....i'm not excited anymore. sorry. nice "talkin" with u. bye

[PurpleandBlackPandas]

@meghna96 I really had you goin for a second there. And I know more about Darren than you do, considering I know who's channel this is. Have a nice day.

[meghna96]

@PurpleandBlackPandas haha no u didn't- i'm smarter than the average idiot!!! ok good for u! if u even wanna let me know drop me a ...comment? u too! bye

[PurpleandBlackPandas]

@meghna96 Bye!

[XxXDeathlyHallowsXxX]

Omg words just can't describe how much love these guys :D I wanna meet the starkid cast nd sing songs with them and with all the starkids out there :D

[tessaemillie]

they brought a keyboard with them!!! that is DEDICATION!!!! :)

[SmallSocietyIssues1]

I wish that I could have seen that... I would've joined right in :)

[skunksmilkandcookies]

wait....who was wearing the "kick me" sweater at 1:14 ?

[skunksmilkandcookies]

wait....who was wearing the "kick me" sweater at 1:16 ?

[XawwwXsugarX]

Haha aww AJ!

"Do I really get a sweater? Really? You guys got me a sweater?!"

[weepingoldwillow]

Brian has such a small head...

[highnett]

im so happy your from michigan so am i !!!!

[Bethanyyyxxx]

i love hoe there wasn't a huge crowd following them back then :L if they'd have done that this time it would have been crazy :L

[stdragongrl]

If I happened to pass by them on their way to the movie, they would've had to either tear me off of Darren, help me regain consiousness, or would've had to get rid of me cuz i'd be following and singing along! :3

[FrostLagoon]

For some reason Brian reminds me of Timon...

[riverdreamsparrow]

A.J. is so adorable. :)

[FairytaleDream13]

and 2 years later he's on the red carpet of deathly hallows part 2- enjoy it all darren!

[FunCrapTV]

Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows part 2 came out on the same night! OMG. saw all the movies, but was only able to go to DH2 midnight premire.

[joysanwhoa]

AJ Holmes is the most adorable man :)

[behindthesun02]

Exactly two years later, I was dressed up with my scarf of sexual preference, sporting a light blue sweatband with my wand tucked in; singing the exact same songs, as I marched with the NYC Harry Potter meet-up group to the theatre for the midnight showing of Deathly Hallows Part 2. Like everyone else in the comments, it brings tears to my eyes.

[AVPMdork]

If I saw them walking down the street, I would be sobbing.

Like I am right now.

[cpersico89]

GO BLUE



[MerlinaWhitlock]

i wish they would come alking down my street singing that :D

[Ember728]

the people were all so calm! If i saw the cast of AVPM, I would literally shit my pants.

[HarryMrsPotter]

@Ember728 I would take a diaper and be like Draco  XD

[starshipxranger]

@Ember728 Well you better have your diaper.

[SupernaturalBaby08]

Dudes...my friend and I sang 'Harry Freakin' Potter' at the top of our lungs at the midnight showing of DH P2, but apparently we were the only Starkids there. It sucked. But that didn't stop us.

[123wickedsweet]

@SupernaturalBaby08 Haha same with me! Except me and my friends were in line for literally almost two hours so we went through most of the songs from both musicals.

[SupernaturalBaby08]

@123wickedsweet My friend and I were in line for only two hours, and we just kept belting out the choruses to Harry Freakin' Potter, because it was really the only song that my friend knew the lyrics to.

[starshipxranger]

@123wickedsweet I live in New York, and it's CRAZY there. We waited for 8 hours to the midnight showing, but got the best seats!

[textlover321]

In the words of Molly Ringwald- If I ever met Darren Criss I'd shit twice and die

[MegannNiamhProducts]

@textlover321 Wait, Molly Ringwald said that?! :O

[textlover321]

@MegannNiamhProducts Well in 16 candles when she was talking about her crush if he talked to me I'd dhit twice and die :)

[LollyLollypop13]

Just casually walk down the street, singing granger danger, nothing odd about that, especially when dressed in your Harry potter uniforms...go gryiffindor

[MarsBattyAngel]

Oh Darren. Now look at chu, going to the London premiere, walking the red carpet. Incredibly proud of you.

[monicapw1894]

this is TOTALLY AWESOME!
