A list of reasons why AVPM still owns my ass after more than half a decade

• A musical about Harry Potter??? This is reason enough
• Stars Darren Criss as Harry Potter, a man of colour and a gift to this world 
• Pokes fun at the way JKR/WB handle POC “That’s Lavender Brown – racist sister!”
• “Let’s leave these big baby childish jerks alone” “Did someone say Draco Malfoy”
• Every single fucking moment that Lauren Lopez is on screen actually
• “A person can however be a horcrux” “What’s a – what’s a horcrux” “I’m not even going to tell you Harry you’ll find out soon enough”
• Quirrelmort
• Pokes fun at fandom perception of Ron and Draco 
• Cedric Diggory’s 1000 watt smile
• Voldemort’s revival is accompanied by the appropriate level of drama and a dance number
• Dumbledore is explicitly gay within the story
• Ginny has one of the most powerful and soulful voices in the show and her and Harry do power couple harmonizing
• The greatest Romione kiss I have ever seen in my life
• All the fourth wall breaks
• Snape’s parting note in the musical is far less creepy and weird and he dies in a poetically just manner
• “I love you all… except you Draco I can’t fucking stand you”
• Dumbledore’s Army holding fast to protect Hogwarts during the Battle of Hogwarts with a song that makes me feel like I too, could defeat Voldemort
• An arguably better epilogue than the Deathly Hallows
