I don't know if this has been posted yet, but A Very Potter Sequel, the follow up to A Very Potter Musical was released onto youtube a few hours ago.

Haha! I was waiting anxiously on their channel, refreshing the page every few seconds until the videos showed up. It was hilarious but I think the first was better. I'm going to have to watch them back to back soon :-D

I think AVPS was more accurate to some of the characters and many scenes in the book and they added two new hilarious characters Lupin and Umbridge.

I have to watch that ASAP! I know what I'm doing today
Darn! I wanted to get my friend a Pygmy Puff for her birthday...but her birthday is in September...so I don't know if I'll be able to get one for her

I started watching the musical and I thought it was a bit silly, but if you guys are saying it is good, I'm going to check it out.

I wonder how empty the park is today with wonder Tropical Storm Bonnie hitting us here in Miami.

Woohoo! Page 900!

That would be why I wasn't on all day today. I saw it at Infinitus, but I had to rematch it.

Hulk is/was almost 2 hour wait and FJ a little over an hour...

Thanks for the update Disneyfankevin! :happy:

You're welcome! I just edited my prior post with updated waits.

I'm loving AVPS so far. I'll probably finish it tomorrow. I would have loved to see it at Infinitus!

Holy Hippogriffs-- page 900. I've been lazy about checking this thread, but I'll try to check in more often now.
I watched AVPS the minute it was uploaded, and I loved it. Both installments are 'totally awesome,' parodies that had me rolling and, at times, tearing up. Both are equally amazing and every Potter fan should see it.

Anywho-- any update on that rumored post-DHPT2 expansion? Or any major updates at all?

Combined with the original thread there are 1,625 pages. Potter is king.

So....

What have the crowds been like at WWOHP over the last few days? :huh:

 

[Drewfilmboy]

I just visited IOA last night (Saturday, in the middle of Summer) and the park wasn't crowded at all. I've only been to IOA once when it was nighttime so I really wanted to ride Dueling Dragons/ I mean Challenge (whateva) in the dark. The WWOHP section was crowded a bit, on par with what Disney sees regularly. All of the attractions in the park had 5-15 min waits. Forbidden Journey had the only long wait at 60 minutes. BTW, Jurassic Park River Adventure was not as fun as one might think in the dark, because it wasn't in the dark. They had bright spot lights EVERYWHERE, totally ruined the experience of taking a tour at night.

What's up with that construction that was going, or that blocked off area... what was that?

On top of the show building? If so, I believe that someone mentioned that it was to setup the Grand Opening fireworks.

I think he means the black wall covering an area off the bridge from Jurassic to WWOHP.

So, we're leaving for Orlando this Friday (driving) and arriving at the Hard Rock sometime Saturday afternoon. Both nervous and excited, I guess. We love HP but are not looking forward to battling the crowds.....our youngest son is autistic; he loves HP too, but I'm concerned about what he can really handle. He is not prone to meltdowns, and we think he will enjoy Flight of the Hippogriff. I was thinking we could take the occasional break on the patio of the 3 Broomsticks - I was just wondering if we have to go through the restaurant to access the patio, or is there a way to walk around? Also, for those that have been, are there other areas in Hogsmeade we just shouldn't even try to go to with him? We plan to take advantage at least our first day of the early hour for hotels guests and thought we would go to Ollivander's first, but only if the line doesn't look too bad yet. After that we would probably explore the shops before they get too crowded. I'm not even planning on taking him thru the FJ queue, as he wouldn't ride it anyway. Or am I even crazy to consider that area at all? My husband and I can take turns going to WWoHP w/ our oldest if that is the case.
