Gotta Get Back To Hogwarts

Because I don't feel compelled to blog about anything scholarly, I'd like to share the lyrics to one of the best songs never made.  Technically it is made.  In A Very Potter Musical, it's the opening song.  And it's great.  I'm editting out some parts though, and if you've ever seen it, maybe you know why.






HARRY:
Underneath these stairs
I hear the sneers and feel the glares of
my cousin, my uncle and my aunt.

Can't believe how cruel they are
and it stings my lighting scar
to know they'll never ever give me what I want.

And I know I don't deserve these
stupid rules made by the Dursleys
here on Privet drive.

Can't take all of these muggles,
But despite all of my struggles,
I'm still alive.

I'm sick of summer and this waiting around.
Man, it's September, and I'm skipping this town
Hey i'ts no mystery, there's nothing here for me now

I gotta get back to Hogwarts,
I gotta get back to school.
I gotta get myself to Hogwarts,
where everybody knows I'm cool.

Back to witches and wizards, and magical beasts,
to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts.
Its all that I love, and it's all that I need.
AT HOGWARTS, HOGWARTS, I think I'm going back---

I'll see my friends, gonna laugh 'til we cry
take my Firebolt, gonna take to the sky
NO WAY this year anyone's gonna die, and it's gonna be 
totally awesome

I'll cast some spells, with a flick of my wand
defeat the dark arts, yeah bring it on!
and do it all with my best friend Ron, 'cuz together 
we're totally awesome

RON: yeah, 'cause together we're totally awesome!


HARRY & RON:
... and its gonna be totally awesome!
This year we'll take everybody by storm,
stay up all night, sneak out of our dorm

HERMIONE:
but let's not forget that we need to perform well in 
class
if we want to pass our OWLS!


HARRY, RON, HERMIONE:
yeah it's so cool, and it's totally awesome!

We're sick of summer and this waiting around
it's like we're sitting in the lost and found
don't take no sorcery
for anyone to see how...

we gotta get back to hogwarts
we gotta get back to school
we gotta get back to hogwarts
where everything is magic-cooooool

EVERYONE:
back to witches and wizards, and magical beasts
to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
it's all that I love, and it's all that I need at
HOGWARTS, HOGWARTS

HARRY, RON, HERMIONE:
--- I think we're going back...


MALFOY:
this year you bet Im gonna get outta here
the reign of Malfoy is drawing near
Ill have the greatest wizard career, 
and its gonna be totally awesome

Look out world, for the dawn of the day
When everyone will do whatever I say
And Potter wont be in my way 
then Ill be the one who is totally awesome!

GOYLE: 
Yeah youll be the one that is totally awesome. 

HERMIONE: Guys Come on! Were gonna miss the train!

ALL:
Who knows how fast this years gonna go?
Hand me a glass, let the butterbeer flow

HARRY:

RON:

ALL:

Its great to come back to where we began
And here we are, and alakazam! here we go, this is totally awesome!

The summers over and were itchin to go

NEVILLE:

Ahhhhhh.


ALL:

to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
it's all that I love, and its all that i need.

Back to spells and enchantments, potions and friends
To Gryffindor!

Back to the place where our story begins
At Hogwarts, Howarts,

Time Lapse Video

Before I blog about this incredible time lapse video, I'd just like to share with you a wonderous discovery I made a week ago.  It's name is Pottermore! Check it out.  But most of you are as obsessed with the Harry Potter series as me probably already have.  Onwards and upwards to the time lapse video now!  It's crazy.  To see how a person can change throughout their life time is crazy.  The kid just keeps growing!  And it's strange how slowly people grow, so you hardy even notice the changes until you compare the first photo to the last.  The baby grow sly as a baby into a toddler and you don't notice much of a transformation.  Then the toddler grows into a young child and you don't notice a difference there.  Then she keeps growing and you don't notice any drastic changes.  But when she hits 12 at the end of the video and you see the beginning again when she's a baby, it's insane.  She grows up so slowly and you can barely tell.  It's strange.

The Most Precise Dancing I've Ever Seen

One thing I noticed was that nobody stopped to watch them.  Of course, a few people glanced at them for more than two seconds.  Wait, just kidding, I just saw people watching them and taking pictures inside the building.  But, wait again, there isn't anyone stopping to watch when they're on the street.  Why?  I know I would be there watching the whole thing, possibly throwing a couple hundred dollar bills to them (but only if I had that kind of money to spare, which I don't...so maybe I'd give them a twenty).  But what does the whole video mean?  I don't know.  It could be that they're trying to show normal life in New York; they're dressed just like normal New Yorkian business men, they look clean like normal New Yorkian business men, and they're very orderly like normal New Yorkian business men.  Could they be representing the perfectness and punctuality of New York citizens because their dance moves are perfect and punctual?  Or maybe they're just trying to make a cool music video.  And guess what?  IT WORKED.
