** Cho's verse in "Going Back to Hogwarts" has become this for Darren Criss. In later performances, he either omits the verse entirely (skipping right to Cedric's line) or spends time explaining the context of the line and essentially apologising.
** Devin Lytle also regrets accepting the role of Cho, feeling she stole it from Sango Tajima for the sake of a single cheap gag.

* CreatorBacklash: In response to the backlash over Creator/JKRowling coming out as "gender critical" on Twitter, Nick Lang openly denounced and apologized for the character of Umbridge in AVPS being a CreepyCrossdresser CrossCastRole whose portrayal hurt a lot of trans Starkid fans.

** ThrowItIn: The famous line from Lavender Brown "Bitch, I ain't Cho Chang!" was embellished by Sango Tajima -- in the script Lavender simply politely says "I'm not Cho Chang" -- and, according to pretty much everyone who's seen it, makes the whole scene (and rescues it from a lot of racist undertones by having the actual Asian onstage defy stereotypes so strongly).

* CastingGag: The casting had some gag moments for people in the [=UMich=] theatre department, notably that Creator/LaurenLopez had previously played a "little British boy" in the Langs' parody of Film/TheLordOfTheRings. There's also the fact that Nick Lang met Jaime Lyn Beatty because Creator/DarrenCriss had done a dramatic one-man show with Jaime playing TheLostLenore who only appeared in the form of photos of their past relationship, which made casting Jaime as Darren's love interest (Ginny) but having her be TheWoobie and him be InnocentlyInsensitive this time HilariousInHindsight.
* CastTheExpert: In hindsight the creators said the only reason this musical became what it did was casting Creator/DarrenCriss as the star and making use of his skills as a songwriting prodigy. It gets referenced onstage a lot with Harry's guitar (Criss' real-life guitar) essentially replacing the Firebolt as his all-purpose secret weapon.
