Potter Puppet Pals (also: The Potter Puppet Pals ) is an American broadcast program on YouTube . The inventor of this broadcast is Neil Cicierega . The Potter Puppet Pals is an adaptation of Harry Potter in which hand puppets , which are similar to the characters in the Harry Potter films, appear in episodes of up to five minutes. In contrast to the movies and the Harry Potter novels , the Hogwarts students Harry, Ron and Hermione are not the heroes, but the cause of trouble in the individual episodes. Other movies and TV series, such as TMNT - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or 2012 , are targeted in this show.

background

The Potter Puppet Pals was invented by Neil Cicierega. He created various videos with hand puppets he made of the characters from the Harry Potter universe.

The first video is from 2003 and is called Bothering Snape . Trouble at Hogwarts and Follow the Butterflies followed that same year . In these videos the hand puppets were drawn. When new videos followed three years later, they were made with real hand puppets.

The most successful video was The Mysterious Ticking Noise with around 172 million viewers until March 2017. In the video, the Harry Potter characters sing their names to the sound of a ticking bomb.

In addition to the videos on Youtube, The Potter Puppet Pals has been shown at conventions and other events in the United States. The first performance outside the US took place in August 2017 at LeakyCon in Dublin.
