I was there! Thanks so much for posting! This is one of the few performances I never got out of my head.

i'll never get tired of this HI. this is what my coach shows novices who are trying interp out as an example.

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This brings back sooo many memories of HI back in the day. I'm a Junior in College now and I haven't seen a "propper" HI since I went to NFL myself. I love this!!!! thanks soo much for adding it!

I'm so bummed that those two videos are gone =/ I went through two or three months of my history to find it, and when I did, it said it was a private video -.-

I just took first place yesterday in my HI of The Producers!!! This guy motivated me to do an HI in the first place ;)

I saw this in Theatre class. This guy is awesome!

I think he did very well! I would love to see someone perform like that.

This is better than the movie

HI has turned into a technicality event as opposed to "Humorous" The real comedy now lies in OC.

I'm a forensics coach, and this is the best HI I've ever seen in my entire life! I'm curious to see who won 1st if he won 2nd! This is fabulous for teaching.

Those jokes in the beginning, just. Too funny.

For my team this guy set a standard that my coach wanted us to beat, i never could

omg! i luv this one! my class 'n i were rollin' round laughin' our asses off!!

I was there. The guy who won 1nd deserved it. This is def. a very well-done presentation but I have seen better.

i saw this in my into to theatre class. everyone laughed their butts off!

Watched him in drama, soo funny!! I wanna meet this dude

that intro is sooo freakin funny!!!!

Very funny!

he should of WON!!!! MANN

yeah it is funny... iv'e had him in a couple rounds too... just came back from Nat Quals... and we had 4 from our school make it for 2008. Though it was OO i thought he should have also made it on lol.

i did a humor that involved rapping about Othello and Shakespeare, and for my duet my partner and I did Who's On First?

It's not a script. It's the actually Harry Potter book, just cut down. And honestly, I DARE anyone to try and copy this: 1. It's nationally known, so you'll get called right away and someone is bound to give you a 6 for copying someone's piece. 2. You wouldn't be able to pull it off HALF as well as him. See, he worked very hard for a couple of months, reading through the book and plotting characters. When you spend that much time developing characters, they become real. A copy would die.

not so because if you dont choose a humerous interp that everyone knows the plot about than someone may not get it and then the point of writing it for the enjoyment of others exsploded also this is sooo funny!:D

Haha nicee... we were from Portales.. lol iv'e probably met you.. haha

Fantastic popping! Awesome! I don't know how I feel about him making, like, all the characters gay.....

actually i don't know if I know anyone from Rock Springs or not. I did a couple HI's, and Duets when they let us double, but usually just PF

@skilletawake8 I compete in forensics competitions like this all the time in HI and Duo, and trust me. It takes a lot of practice.

Yeah this is way funnier in person. It doesn't seem that funny on video, but live it was hilarious.

i saw this in my forensic class he is funny

he used to be in my rounds...

Natrona (Casper)

probably why it got second

lolz Watched this in debate today. I was the only one laughing hard...that's what happens when ur a diehard HP fan. xDD

i hate when people value quick transitions over actual content, the event is called humor, not "how fast can you move".

hahaha, he's amazing xDD

nah, i was a sophmore, and that was my first year

How is he not cracking up? xD

@vajboi97 Ohhhh yeah :) don't think I ever got a 1 when he was there!

this is the most amazing interp ever!! whats up with the part at 3:00, where they are frozen? why does he have that?

Also @LiaConnor go to the channel orlmgc4ever, their featured playlists, its under "favorite humorous interps top 10" /playlist?list=PLF1BE6A94AA9B45A5

Hold up, hold up, hold up. I swear there was another video on youtube of this same performance, except it was the actual performance in person, not from another screen. What happened to it? Also, what happened to a bunch of other videos, like the one duo of Mr. Marmalade, or the HI of Rinse that Blood Off My Toga?

And it's not like Rowling didn't do that already =D

hey omg i got the 2006 dvd and it says HP got first not second and not 2007?

Was this performed before the movies came out?

@xxxLAWRENCExxx LOL "speech camp"

You hit the nail on the head, it shouldn't be based on tech, and even oratory is getting techy and gross. no thanks.

what school/town?

lol he should of gotten first place

Stupid people who made it private with all their fancy computer techniques and what-not. DX

Excellent interpretation, but I personally think it's lame and uncreative when people pick such an incredibly well known piece such as this one.

ooh another wyoming debater? but yeah our HI's sucked this year

bad

I'm a forensics coach, and this is the best HI I've ever seen in my entire life! I'm curious to see who won 1st if he won 2nd! This is fabulous for teaching.
