Excellent

I loved the show and have watched it three times so far after finding it on Broadway HD. It was very funny and the cast were so clever in juggling their various roles. They are very talented, and are likeable actors. It was impressive watching their skill in swapping roles and voices and accents so quickly. It was very good comic acting by all the cast.The plot is a great idea - a parallel story about the also rans of Hufflepuff observing the main events of the Harry Potter story from the background. You do need to know the Harry Potter stories - at least to have watched the movies - to keep up, as it moves very fast.Great work, well done.

Meh - just a series of references

We thought this might be a lot of fun to check out while we subscribed to broadwayHD - especially since one of us LOVES Harry Potter and the other doesn't really know much about it.Unfortunately this didn't work for either demographic. We both felt like it was pretty lazy and quickly put together, and basically just a series of references to HP. They can't name specific things that are copyrighted so the majority of the jokes are them changing it enough to not get sued. But then nothing after that - that's the whole bit.Not in the funny meta way like you'd expect either. Half the time there is no joke, just literally 'hey remember this thing that happened that we can't get specific about???' or 'how about this character existing - remember that!!!' And that's about it.The jokes aren't that funny unfortunately and the leads aren't great for something like this. Nobody is being lazy about their performance really but nor is anyone embodying the role and it's clearly made just for them. We never got that impression.So for free in the background while you do the dishes - it may be fine if you're a hardcore HP fan. Otherwise you'll just be kinda bored and know you're supposed to be chuckling but simply won't be...
