Potted Potter's Scott Hoatson and Brendan Murphy explain how the entire Harry Potter storyline is covered in just 70 minutes in their highly successful stage show.

You might think that cramming the story of all seven Harry Potter books into just over an hour would be an impossible task, but not for the team behind the successful stage show Potted Potter.

Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience is a parodied version of J. K. Rowling's beloved magical series. The performance features only two actors and takes the audience through the entire storyline in only 70 minutes.

Scott Hoatson plays Harry Potter and Brendan Murphy plays everyone else. "I play every other character," says Murphy, listing Dumbledore, Voldemort, Hermione and all of the Weasleys. "That's about seventy-five people right there," jokes Murphy.

Hoatson and Murphy give us a one minute summary of Rowling's first book and share some of their favourite and most chaotic moments from the show.

Potted Potter is on in Toronto until January 22. Find more details here.
