Not Literally
Not Literally is a performing group that produces parody music and comedy sketches based around the Harry Potter fandom. They have twenty- twovideos posted on Youtube currently (though some are also on Spotify), all centered around the world of Harry Potter. The two faces of Not Literally are Dana Ritterbusch and Ginny Diguiseppi, who also sing in their music sketches. Their director and editor is mainly Erik Tande, who directs the music videos. Though they have incredible dance moves, neither Ginny nor Dana have had any professional training (some background dancers do, however). To make these high-quality music videos, they raise money on Kickstarter, which helps them get donations for all of it. Of course, they do try to be thrifty with the money they spend and use the resources they can.

Ginny and Dana write the material, sing the music, perform in the videos, and handle the web content and marketing. Erik does all the filming, directing, video editing, and visual FX. Dana and Ginny started working together after Ginny’s Friday parody, Ravenclaws, accidentally went viral*. The demand for House Pride videos was surprisingly high, so they worked their hardest to accomodate. By now, they’ve set their sights far beyond the four Hogwarts houses! With plans for expanding into The Avengers, The Hunger Games, Disney, and more, there is no end in sight for how far the Not Literally girls’ reach will extend.
