''A Very Potter Senior Year'', the third and final installment in Starkid's Harry Potter Musical Parody Series, premired at LeakyCon 2012 in Chicago. It was uncertain whether or not the show would happen due to Darren Criss's time constraints with the show Glee, but they were able to gather almost all of the previous Starkid actors, including Darren, for one performance. Rather than a full show, it was a staged reading; the actors still had their books. In December of 2012, Starkid released the free script and the soundtrack to the show on [http://starkid.annarbortshirtcompany.com/t/production/avp3d-avpsy their online store]. An announcement video says that the full read-through will be posted to YouTube in 2013. The soundtrack released did not feature Darren Criss as Harry, due to Glee contracts stating he is not allowed to sell his voice for any non-Glee related things, and instead had a replacement Harry. Evanna Lynch was also not featrued on the album. A single, released for free as to not break the terms of the Glee contract, called ''When I Was, ''was released featuring Darren Criss.
