Edward-Kelly mentioned the present is “delightful insanity from start to finish” and that each one seven Harry Potter books are coated throughout the 70-minute present.

 The greatest problem of the present is cramming all seven books into simply 70 minutes, however they get the job completed with tons of guffaws. And generally, breaking character occurs, nevertheless it simply provides to the hilarity of the present.

“I suppose the biggest challenge is keeping each book as its own distinct comedy sketch whilst still being able to get the plot across to the audience in a way that’s brief, succinct, and most importantly, funny,” Holloway mentioned. “I particularly love when audience members come out with something so unexpected that it makes me break character. This is one of those shows where character breaking moments actually enrich the experience for the audience. It makes every show different and unique for that crowd.”
