And in the 10aversary, the fans were cheering for him to do the monologue... so he did! Perfectly... From memory.. like seven years later!!!! Wtf aj!?! How are you so amazing!?!?
@@yeshevishman most people agree that it was a plant who started cheering for him to do it and then the audience followed suit. If there was a plant in the audience then obviously AJ would have known in advance to practice the monologue.
If I could do anything, I think I would shrink myself to the size of a mouse. I'd leave the world of men behind me forever and live amongst the mice. And I would bring technology and art to these uncultured swines, and I would build tiny tools for their mouse hands made of toothpicks and marshmallows. And I would be their King...nay...their Prince! Gilderoy the Mouse Prince! Ruling from my grand castle, inches high, carved from the finest cheeses. And there I would dwell with my three mouse wives, and my twelve mouse concubines. Oh, ho ho ho ho! Oh, but the wars we'll have with the frogs...terrible. Just terrible. The metal mice warriors, the atrocities they've seen. Yes, that is my dream.
‘Yes! Just like my fanfics. Ron’s going to feel so stupid after this.’ Two seconds later. ‘SCOLD MY PROFESSOR...’ ...TEACH ME A LESSON I WON’T EVER FORGET.’
+MiracleMira Well put it this way, the main cast in particular have a ton of lines, the other cast members do as well but in specific scenes (for instance Gilderoy's scenes are more sporadic). You'll notice Lauren knows a lot of hers as do some of the other main cast, but not all of them. AJ was in less scenes so effectively had to learn less.

Sarah Fuller I just NEED to know where this reference comes from! If it's just a silly thing made up by Starkid, that's totally well and fine, I just wanna know!
XamoebabrainX They planned on using that monologue for Gilderoy since the first AVPM, but Gilderoy kept getting cut, it survived over the years as the beacon of Gilderoy. It is totally original, as the writers were a bit obsessed with animal comparisons since day 1...(RUMBLERORE!).
OH MY ROWLING!!!! That's why Gilderoy was interested in Hermione's fanfiction in the first place!! Anyone remember, "a MOUSY girl eh? Let's have a looksie."
Well thanks for giving me something to have nightmares over! I've watched this scene so many times and never caught that... I'm still processing what you've said... *shudders uncontrollably*
This whole scene was me going OH MY GOSH HERMIONE! I didn't know you knew all about that stuff... Especially since you're waiting til marriage! Now excuse me while I go and rewatch this scene :) I am so uncomfortable, so in shock and I'm laughing so hard that I can barely type this... StarKid really knows how to make you feel every emotion in one scene!
watermelonkitkats yeah like almost all fanfiction that puts Hermione in that kind of situation. Realistically this is probably how it would be acted out lol.
[Ginny makes more possessed noises] Hermione: [crab noises] What is that girl up to? [More Sebastian the Crab noises] Gotta love the subtitles that I can’t make go away lol
I love how A.J. Holmes always plays romantics who are one misfortune away from completely losing their sh*t. Honestly, it's an underappreciated character trope!
I love how this seems really out of nowhere the first time you watch it but if you look back there's a lot of foreshadowing to Lockhart's thing with mice
This is how fanfic would actually turn out in real life.
Courtney Mower especially one of mine
Exactly
this is fanfic
Yup including mine
Yep… pretty much.
Everyone’s talking abt Meredith but can we just acknowledge how aj KILLED this scene? Like that monologue got so intense and he didn’t crack a smile
yes i love him very much
And in the 10aversary, the fans were cheering for him to do the monologue... so he did! Perfectly... From memory.. like seven years later!!!! Wtf aj!?! How are you so amazing!?!?
@@yeshevishman I saw that in Homecoming and I squealed!
aj is a stone cold pro made of music and sunshine and comedy and happiness

HOW DID AJ NOT LAUGH AT ANY OF THE INNUENDOS
+Jasmine Maestro sign of a good actor ;)
VERY good self control xD
cuz he's one hell of an actor
4:02-4:07 looks like he's trying not to laugh 😂
@@martialaw566 nah, he was just smiling bc he got her to hand over the rights to him lol
I want to use "Gilderoy the Mouse Prince" as an audition monolauge.
its been 3 years and i need to know if this was accomplished if you dont mind
Did you do it?
Has it been done?
@@Baseiscc I'm happy to say that it has indeed been done. I got a great role too.
@@cozy_comet2626 Yes I did do it, landed a great role too
This part was a porn parody without the porn.

Hermione: *Scold* me, Professor!
Me: Y'all need wizard Jesus.
I READ THAT AS JEEZARD WEESUS
@@oonooooooooo haaaaaaaaahhhahahaha
Lmaooo
Agreed
Audience: Church is free!
Hermione: I can't afford it
What i'd like to know is how he remembered that whole monolog about the mice but it's everyone else that needed the script lol

Some people can probably remember their scripts faster than others
MiracleMira he has the script in his lap
Lmn grt1563 literally what i was about to say lol
Because that wasn't Lockhart, the actor was just sharing his personal thoughts
"Well I wouldn't mind a bone-"
"Quiet, you!"
Lol

I think that was an Of mice and Men reference, cos that book is all about dreams and stuff
Donnagh Mayock
Can someone confirm this? I always wondered about this reference.
Sarah Fuller
I just NEED to know where this reference comes from! If it's just a silly thing made up by Starkid, that's totally well and fine, I just wanna know!

Remember he would shrink himself to mouse size, but would still want mouse wives and concubines.
"can we talk about something other than Harry Potter now?" Literally ALL of my friends to me every. single. day.
All the time😂
Same,
This is easily the best scene of all three musicals.
+Emily Weets Hermione's Sebastian impression! XD I'm DYING
+Emily Weets It's so wrong but so funny😂😂
Same
Of all musicals
I think you mean worst
OH MY ROWLING!!!! That's why Gilderoy was interested in Hermione's fanfiction in the first place!! Anyone remember, "a MOUSY girl eh? Let's have a looksie."
Okay so wait. He said he would SHRINK himself not BECOME a mouse so him and those mice wives and concubines are . . . *shudders*
Well thanks for giving me something to have nightmares over! I've watched this scene so many times and never caught that... I'm still processing what you've said... *shudders uncontrollably*
Wow beastiality or wut
ohhh....ughhhh....noooooo!!!!
It took me a minute to realise what Lockhart was writing but when it hit me it hit me like a brick.
Cᴜʀsᴇᴅ what's he on about when he's talking about being the Mouse Prince?! I didn't understand any of that monologue 😜
the mouse prince thing is original as far as I'm aware but the 'what Lockhart was writing' was 50 shades of grey as far as I can remember :p
he was writing harry potter not 50 shades of grey
JASON GRACE IS THAT YOU?!?!
Nico?!?!
Am I the only one who noticed he turned Peter Pettigrew into a MOUSE, and not a rat? Ooooh...
no u r not the only one...
I could never see Bonnie doing this scene. Like Meredith is just too perfect for it.
+amie hodge Bonnie has it in her as well, just remember the kiss scene and some parts of the "Coolest girl" :)
Invortum I think with bonnie she'll be awkward and it will be so much funnier and relatable
I think Bonnie's better for the others but I think meredith works well for this role
you probably never saw bonnie twerking on neville then.
@@smthepiclikekaoriornicolascage is there a video of this, or where in the musicals is it??
Did Lockhart rewrite Hermoinie's essays and make them into the actual books?
+Estella Riley
Yeah, thats the joke haha.
HELLS YEAH!!!
I read that in Dylan's voice
clearly not. he turned pettigrew into a mouse, remember?
Estella Riley Woah mind blown! 🤯
Meredith is the coolest girl in the whole wide world.
Bonnie is the coolest girl
HufflepuffAVPMCryBaby Fangirl Both.
UMMMMM what about Lauren???
While Lauren is not the coolest girl, she's really nice now, so that makes up for it :D
@@skimm1lks Lauren is the coolest little boy
How can they do this straight faced?!
A lot of practice
@@Benji767 not that much practice. They're just pros
ACTING!!
@@yeshevishman i ment a lot of pratice in acting
The little mermaid reference at the end 😂
Charlene Hartman ikr why did they even put that reference in there?
Hannah Outridge because they're Starkid and there are plenty of Disney references throughout all their shows. They love Disney.
_
OHHH so that's what it is! I was confused
hahaha seductive awkward Hermione Granger. Beautiful
Oh, I get it now, when he called Hermione a MOUSY GIRL! LOL!
+XX nerdygirl8064 XX Woah XD
I don't get it...
Earlier on when Gilderoy was reading the fan fic about a MOUSY girl
I like how this shows how the musicals turn into the books
And now for the most uncomfortable scene in any musical ever.
The bellatrix and Voldemort scene in avmp
all of mamd
to all of you other replies- the fact that it's between a student and teacher makes it considerably more uncomfortable
Yup. And the Bellatrix and Voldemort scene
Dead girl walking got nothing on this >^
"Do you have any idea how many people in the world are dogs?"
HERMIONE JEAN GRANGER, YOU DID *NOT* FUCKING JUST...
Meredith was brilliant in this scene
During this entire scene I was screaming, "DONT. JUST FUCKING DONT.
HERMIONE!! Holy crap! This whole scene was me sitting here going "OH MY GOSH NO! HERMIONE WHY?!"
This whole scene was me going OH MY GOSH HERMIONE! I didn't know you knew all about that stuff... Especially since you're waiting til marriage! Now excuse me while I go and rewatch this scene :) I am so uncomfortable, so in shock and I'm laughing so hard that I can barely type this... StarKid really knows how to make you feel every emotion in one scene!
Shea Elliott she can do it like a prostate, not kiss
omg hermione.... i can't...😂
that scene was so awkward😂
watermelonkitkats yeah like almost all fanfiction that puts Hermione in that kind of situation. Realistically this is probably how it would be acted out lol.
I wish AJ acted in more of the shows.
Oh but the wars we would have with the frogs!!!!!!!!
1)Jesus Christ, this scene is crazy yet hilarious😂
2)Gilderoy the Mouse Prince
Why hello there
It's likeyou're looking into a mirror (of erised)! :-o
Don’t you mean Wizard Jesus Christ?
these two absolutely KILLED this scene, aj didn’t crack a smile once during the jokes OR in that monologue, and Meredith was just incredible
Little Mermaid reference, how Starkid loves Disney
Wait, what Little Mermaid reference?!?!!?
@@beefoster7623 the last line i think
I love AJ's acting. He's amazing. Especially because he's mainly a musician
this scene blow my mind
*blew
I want it to *blow* mine
Bunsen Burner hahahahahahah Gilderoy: Yes I will blow you..... Away with my deep plot twists Hermione: You can put it in deep
Gilderoy: STFU
[Ginny makes more possessed noises]
Hermione: [crab noises] What is that girl up to?
[More Sebastian the Crab noises]
Gotta love the subtitles that I can’t make go away lol
This made me cringe but in a good way if that makes any sense XD
perfectly describes all three of these brilliant plays
I still stand after hermione made 50 shades of grey a children's book I knew she was very different
THAT SCENE LIKE HERMIONE JEAN GRANGER JUST
AJ is awesome!! He didn't laugh at any of the innuendos :)
This is Starkid at its best.
TO INNOCENT TO WATCH THIS
SAME AFSHLIKDG
Not innocent any more are you
SAME.. teh heh heh heh
Not anymore
starkid at its best
Meredith is so damn hilarious! >_<
I may or may not have replayed this scene 5 times before posting this comment...
You know she did stand-up comedy, right? She had this AMAZING bit where when someone laughs too hard at her joke, she would hand them a dollar. XD
This scene never fails to absolutely slaughter me
I died at The Little Mermaid reference. Just...keeled over.
I can't even....seriously I can't even look at the screen.
would have loved seeing hermione doing that to draco.
I could already picture him npw. He'd probably go wide-eyes
and start acting all googly.
Please
Rolling on the floor
Probably one of the best scenes in theater history
The starkid interpretation of Gilderoy Lockhart is one of my favourite characters of all three shows and aj really helps with that. He's just amazing
I love the sexual inuendoes in this scene!!!
Innuendo? I don't think I caught any.
The steady zoom in during the monologue really makes this scene
I missed most of this from laughing too hard.
he's such a good actor! omg
This scene is one of my favorites. I don't know how AJ managed to keep a straight face the whole time.
now would be a good time for Draco to say "Hermione, you filthy little mudblood."
sorry I'm really sorry...but I had to xD
Gilderoy the mouse prince!
"can we talk about something that's other than harry potter right now"
me: well I hear that a lot
The FBI agent watching me is probably a little horrified
Props to them for doing this whole scene straight faced, I had to rethink life after this
I love how A.J. Holmes always plays romantics who are one misfortune away from completely losing their sh*t. Honestly, it's an underappreciated character trope!
Of lockhart wants to be a mouse, why doesnt he just figure out how to be an animagus?
+Elizabeth Dragonclaw He doesn't want to be a mouse, he wants to be mouse sized.
Fawkes which is even weirder 😂
Also he's stupid, and doesn't know anything, except how to make things climax...
"Do you have any idea how many people in the world are dogs?" This hits VERY different after Hey Melissa..
I was trying to drink water while watching this. I struggled.
WHY AREN'T ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS DOGS???
this line is my spirit animal 😂
I slapped my face so many times it's turning red, send help
gods, i face palmed way fo many times. my firhead is red.
This is cringe-worthy, especially when you're father is talking to you while you're watching it
My father WON'T hear about this
Meredith was amazing at that scene:)
the moment you watch this again after three years.. and you understand everything...
Gilderoy the furry was something I didn't think I needed in my life
The audience manages to say exactly how I feel without even saying a damn word
"Oh yes, scold me, professor!" I CAN'T.
' And I would be their kind, neigh... thEIR PRINCE- *G I L D E R O Y T H E M O U S E P R I N C E* '
I just love how Meredith sticks her wand into her script like, I’m sure it’s not supposed to be there 😂
You can tell he goofed and said Potter instead of Granger but they are good at improv. Props to them
i thought it was on purpose XD
THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE SCENE SO FAR. Actually amazing. AJ Holmes is a FANTASTIC actor and Meredith killed me.
Okay, this scene was awesome.
at 1:33 gilderoy is crossing his fingers!
...so
Oh my God, the flirting and the audience's reaction - LOVE IT!
Meredith is so effing awkward in this scene, it's great 😂😂
AJ is quite an incredible actor. Imagine having to sit through those innuendos while keeping a strait face.
AJ's acting in the mouse monologue is beautiful
Magic is amazing! Hermione can write without a pen, pencil, quill or anything! Wowza!
best scene in the senior year....and a.j oh he is so cute
Not gonna lie. McGonagall being a cat is what sold me on this series
this single scene is the best thing i've ever seen, even 7 years later
Why don't she just go out with Draco and make Ron jealous
The EPIC gamer Because Gilderoy’s famous
Because she hates Draco almost as much as Ron does
"This is just like one of my fanfics“ never fails to bring me to fucking tears
Man, the way they tied the musicals into becoming the books is FLAWLESS!
AJ's ability to stay in character is amazing. Also, my face while watching this =))
I literally can’t stop laughing at this 😂. AJ Holmes and Meredith Stepien killed this scene. No way I could’ve said any of this without laughing.
All the oscars to AJ, his expression. ALL OF IT, is precious!
Okay it's sad Bonnie is gone but Meredith KILLED this scene
Meredith's facial expressions are perfect bless
I love how this seems really out of nowhere the first time you watch it but if you look back there's a lot of foreshadowing to Lockhart's thing with mice
I decided to put my earphones in at this scene. Scared someone in the house might've heard and thought I was watching something else. Lol.
AJ delivered his lines so perfectly. amazing. favorite part of the musical.
