"Hermione, you're such a buzz kill" - he didn't sound like he meant that. He sounded like he was seducing her.

Only darren could be 4+ people at once

I can't watch this without grinning like an idiot

okay but the audience was harmonizing??

He seems so happy and full of energy. He is so cute when he says "You can sing along if you want".

"Should I skip this middle part?" "NO!" Silly Darren, like we could ever want less of your singing. This makes me so happy.

If I ever met Darren I'd probably scream "THIS IS WAY TOO AWESOME" and run away

You can see in his face how much he misses this, and how much he enjoys getting to perform Starkid stuff.

I love the way he starts laughing when he gets to the hidden swimming pool line :)

I like that everyone was respectively just listening to him play and he said "you guys can sing along if you want"

Darren always messes up, that's kinda his thing. Mostly in this song, because it's 7 minutes long and has lots of lyrics with the same melody. He usually sings it with the starkids, it must be hard doing the whole song by himself. Don't be so hard on him.

I love the fact that he is smiling all the time and starts laughing, it makes me be smiling like an idiot omg he's so freacking cute it makes me wanna scream ahaha *-*

The way he starts off - "This is gonna be so hard...I can't believe I'm doing this" lol Darren's so humble. It's okay to forget the lyrics - it's a looooonng song, and they weren't all his lyrics in the first place anyway! I'm amazed that he could play through the whole thing on guitar. I would've been forgetting chords all over the place!

i love how he changes the voice or acts differently depending on the character... especially on the cho chang part, cedric, goyle and malfoy :)

With him forgetting some of the lyrics, in his defense, it is a really long song with a lot of stuff going on during it. Also, since it is a group song, he can't be penelized for not knowing everyone else's lines. With that being said, he totally rocked this song out of the park, straight into pigfarts! This little, dorky fanboy is totally awesome! :)

AHHHH THEY ALL START SINGING ALONG WHEN HE SAYS THEY CAN THATS EHAKDJAJA ADORABLE

I love how many people in the audience know the lyrics :)

Gosh you know this man has taken over your life when it’s 2018 and you *fall asleep* listening to this song.

"welcome- and he holds that note for five minutes- i welcome all of you to hogwarts." haha! i love his narration too. its so funny that it sounds like only like half of the crowd even knows what the hell's going on. that's so great! :D

hes so multi-talented someone punch me

i feel like darren forgets his lyrics on purpose because he knows we think its adorable

"you guys can sing along if you want" OUR KING HAS SPOKEN!!!

guys he was totally choking up at the end awww

This is like the most perfect video ever... Darren playing and singing 'back to hogwarts' + Darren messing uo and forgeting the lyrics +... just Darren hahaha

I can't watch this without smiling like a fool. It's just so darn good and cute!!

the children are telling Darren the words!

this is such a fun version. i feel like he's just going with it and playing it up and doing his thang

I love the fact that he forgets lyrics when sober...but remembers them while drunk.... Love him.

Hey everyone. We need to make a note and put it in glee studios saying, Dear Darren stealers Give back Darren Chris to Starkid or else we burn down your studios and all your money. Yours Sincerely STARKID FANS p.s. we can get a bit ott

“man i’m glad i’m back” gives me chills every time

it looks ans sounds like he is just playing it for fun and not for it to be perfect *-* he seems so happy here (dont get me wrong i totally think he sounds awesome ;) ) but with just so much fun

I'm a massive fan of Harry Potter and Glee as well which means that i can't love him more!

i love how even though he became a big star in Hollywood he is connected to his roots and these songs go with him wherever he goes

I love how th audience has to tell him his own lyrics!

He has the cutest laugh I've ever heard 😍😍😍

I never got into Glee, really, and now I want to watch it solely because he’s in it

I love the way he looks down when he says, "I'll cast some spells with the flick of my wand." :D

you know he actually wrote that song, but come one, it's seven minutes long

The dumbledoor part is the best...love this so much can't stop watching this its amazing you can really see that he loves what he does, and that's pretty rare nowadays

I love this!! Especially the part where he said that they can sing along. This makes me cry! 😭

I started giggling when he went from a low voice when he started singing the Cho Chang part and then he went into the falsetto.

Was I the only one watching this, holding my dog, dancing around with tears streaming down my face and screaming out the lyrics? Just me? Ok...

He is so cute and so pure hopefully he is in starkid homecoming

Love how happy Daren looks from this whole thing he rocks, and it rocks that the audience was so into it too :P

I would cry if he came to my theater company

I'm dying this is just GAH!!!! I'm smiling like an idiot

I can't even handle how adorable he is with every single thing he does. Argh

This just makes me grin like an idiot :D I love it!

I actually get chills listening to him singing, i love his voice!!!

i love how he always messes up around Rons part (: the last time i saw him do this and he messed up he jumped up and down excited because he did (:

That beeping from 0.40 - 0.45 is my heart. Notice it stops. It comes back for a while at 1.30 then stops again. His supermegafoxyawesomehot-ness killed me and brought me back to life. Multiple times.

he is so cute to the children. I love him soo much.

He's voice has got even more perfect!;)

I MISS DARREN IN STARKID

He is totally awesome!

darren avec des lunette toujour aussi beau

Love this song I really want to meet Darren Criss

it's that time again, september 1st time to go BACK to Hogwarts. You ready?

Seeing him sing makes me so happy

And though we know it is Darren its not a Darren show until he forgets his own lyrics

@DigiFanKira We haven't announce the master class teachers for our upcoming camp. But it is never too late to sign up, we would love for you to join! I will release a video once we announce the teachers...there's always a strong possibility it'll be someone from Glee =] but that being said, I have no idea who the teachers are.

Oh my Darren that is the best song ever i heard♡

He's so freakin' adorable, wish I was there to sing " Back To Hogwarts" with him. ♥

I love that one person in the audience who corrected him

hes so freaking cute

Whoever disliked the video is sad that they won’t get to meet the legend. And they don’t think Darren is adorable which is incredibly false

look at his face, looking so happy when he sings this song. must have brought back a lot of good memories!

Now all these kids get to brag about seeing Darren perform for them

Is it just me who's mad at Darren for not singing in an offensively accurate posh English accent for Draco's part...?

My heart is melted LITERALLY every time he says "Oh Hermione, you're such a buzzkill!" in this

If I saw him , the first thing I would say is : you're supermegafoxyawesomehot! Then I would hug him! My dreams are literally of me meeting him. ❤️

J'adore les chansons d' AVPM. :)

He's so talented! Is it weird that I LOVE this song?

If I were there, I would be standing up, dancing, clapping at the beat, singing, and harmonizing with Darren like the idiot that I am. I can tell the crowd was a bit embarrassed and I get that, especially at the presence of someone like Darren Criss

he gets this bitter sweet look when he sings this song because you know he misses it.. thank god theres gonna be a threequel.. WERE FINALLY GOING BACK !

These kids are so lucky!

This is gold! =)

The people at this camp are SO LUCKY. There are no words for how much I want to see Darren live. I fricking love him so much! :]

How someone could watch this and not have a huge ass smile on their face is beyond me.

Wouldn't be Darren if he didn't forget the lyrics.

I swear I'm the only guy who's watched this video

THE WAY I WAS LOOKING FOR RANDOM RECORDINGS OF THIS AND THIS WAS AT MY CAMP??????? GAGGED

Oh lord, he's adorable. You've got to love how he didn't even try for Dylan's note. He's just like, "Nope, not happening, not even going to try it."

since when does darren wear glasses?

of course it's not a Darren performance without him forgetting the lyrics and having to get help from the audience

the glasses, the eyebrows, his freakin voice............DARREN YOU'RE TOO PERFECT :')

UGH!! Darren Criss should be on the cover of every magazine.. he's so perfect and amazing!! i wish i was at that acting camp....

Classic Darren forgetting his lyrics all the time

Is it awful rules or stupid rules because he has sung both versions many times?

My first comment was just to mash on the keyboard in excitement, but I decided Darren Criss deserves complete sentences. I think he's grand and I absolutely love the fame and recognition he has received without becoming the least bit superficial or pretentious. All the best to him, the starkids and the glee kids.

i really love how he's so nice to all of his fans. a lot of famous people are snobby and stuff, and are like, getoffme! but he's not. i admire that in him.

ngl the cho chang part always makes me super uncomfortable, and i feel like he knows it's offensive - "should we skip the middle part?" i wish he had tbh. if i had been there it would have really upset me, but judging from what i can see of the audience, i'd probably have been the only one lmao soooo many white people that said, darren is too beautiful to be real and i'm totes digging that rumpled sexy professor look he's got going on there with his glasses. mmm.

this should be a one man show. he does all the characters with perfection.

you can just see the sparkle in Darren's eyes when he sings Starkid songs:)

Not only will this song never get old, Darren is so amazing he makes you sing along at home when you're watching it. or maybe that's just me. :)

Honestly.. How is he even real? He's adorable. You can't help but love him.

You can just see how happy his is when singing... His eyes are like.. remembering back to the good ol' day :)

What he lacks in looks? Who dare says that he lacks ANYTHING in looks?!?! Smokin'! Totally awesome!

I love when he impersonates the female characters :) His little commentaries are just the best.

harry singing malfoy's part :")
