Why You Should Watch "A Very Potter Musical"

jhilmediadesign

Wizards, witches, good guys, bad guys, and an intense battle to save the world all while maintaining friendships and (barely) doing school. J.K. Rowling takes you to another world. The funniest thing to come out of her books is the parody on YouTube.

A small group of Harry Potter loving college kids wrote and performed a parody musical of the series. With a budget of only around $150 ($50 was spent on a huge chocolate bar Ron eats), the scenery of the musical is left mostly to the imagination, but the quality of the songs and plot exceeds the cost of the production.

1. Woe is Harry

The musical picks on Harry the most, obviously, and they exaggerate his troubles of staying with the Dursley's and being an orphan, versus being cool and well-known at Hogwarts with his BFFs.

2. Hermione the nerd, geek, and cause of any problem.

Hermione is bashed on throughout the musical non-stop for being so studious and such a realist.

3. RED VINES.

What really molds Harry and Ron's friendship.

4. "My Father will hear about this"

Draco Malfoy is played by a woman, and is overdramatic in every way possible.

5. Dumbledore from Jersey: Hippie and Zac Efron lover.

Dumbledore is a chill and Zefron loving gay man...

6. Voldemort... has a heart?

Quirrel and Voldemort have a tight bond.

7. Really, really pretty... Ginny!

They make fun of how Cho Chang has blinded Harry and Ginny obviously should be his GF

It's the BEST

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
