Note: Several different versions of the Bye Bye Birdie songs exist. The versions used for the 1960 Original Broadway Cast album differ substantially in several places from the versions found in the official script and score. Where differences exist, this filk musical generally follows the CD version.


One More Death (GoF, Chap. 1)

To the tune of One Last Kiss

THE SCENE: The Riddle House in Little Hangleton. LORD VOLDEMORT is explaining to WORMTAIL that all he needs for his plan to be complete is HARRY POTTER's death.

VOLDEMORT:
Oh, one more death!
I just need one more death!
I'll still his living breath,
Yes, still his living breath!
You know I need his blood,
Uh, uh, oh!
Oh, give me one more death!

Oh, one more time!
I'll murder one more time!
My comeback is sublime,
Oh, Wormy, so sublime!
I only need his blood,
Uh, uh, oh!
Just give me one more death!

Wo…o…or…my,
Gi…ive me one more death!
Wo…o…or…my…
Gi…ive me one more death!

VOLDEMORT (at the same time as the DEATH EATERS):
Oh, one more death!
I just need one more death!
I'll still his living breath,
Yes, still his living breath!
You know I need his blood,
Uh, uh, oh!
Oh, gimme one more death!

DEATH EATERS (offstage, at the same time as VOLDEMORT):
Aaah…. Aaah… Aaah… Aaah….

VOLDEMORT AND DEATH EATERS:
One more death!
One more death!
Just give me (him) one more death!

One more death!
One more death!
Just give me (him) one more…
Death!

Hymn for a Halloween Evening (The Triwizard) (GoF, Chap. 12)

To the tune of Hymn for a Sunday Evening (Ed Sullivan)

THE SCENE: The Great Hall on the evening of September 1, 1994. ALBUS DUMBLEDORE has just announced, to the amazement of all present, that the Triwizard Tournament will take place at Hogwarts that year.

FRED WEASLEY (spoken):
Hogwarts is going to host the Triwizard Tournament? You mean, the Triwizard Triwizard Tournament?

FRED (sings):
The Triwizard!

FRED (spoken):
Me, Fred Weasley, getting to witness…

FRED (sings):
The Triwizard!

FRED and GEORGE (awed):
Here, the Triwizard!

FRED, GEORGE, and RON:
Here, the Triwizard!

GINNY (at the same time as FRED, GEORGE, and RON):
The…Triwizard!
The…Triwizard!

FRED, GEORGE, and RON (at the same time as GINNY):
Aaah…
Aaah…

FRED, GEORGE, RON, and GINNY:
Tri… Tri…
Wiz… Wiz…

The Triwizard!
The Triwizard!
We're going to host the Triwizard!

HERMIONE and GINNY:
How could any students be
Half as fortunate as we?

HERMIONE and the four WEASLEYS:
From now on we'll boast
They chose us to host
The Triwizard!

ALL STUDENTS:
The Triwizard!
The Triwizard!
We're going to host the Triwizard!

ALL STUDENTS (at the same time as FRED):
Aaah… Aaah…

FRED (spoken):
I've got a wonderful twin… three swell O.W.L.s…

ALL STUDENTS (at the same time as FRED):
Aaah… Aaah…

FRED (spoken):
… a good joke shop… and now this!

ALL STUDENTS:
Someday we'll recall
The greatest year of all!

FRED (spoken):
Professor Dumbledore, I love you!

ALL STUDENTS:
The Tri…
…wizard!

Elves (GoF, Chap. 12, 14)

To the tune of Kids

THE SCENE: The start-of-term feast. HERMIONE has just learned that there are house-elves at Hogwarts. Later, the Gryffindor Common Room as HERMIONE tells HARRY and RON her plans for S.P.E.W.

HERMIONE (spoken, indignant):
There are house-elves here? Here at Hogwarts?

HERMIONE (sung):
Elves! All the Hogwarts kitchens have elves, you say?
Elves! Can't they fix our supper some other way?
Elves! Why, it's slavery, isn't it?
Every elf's a slave!
Such infernal and eternal labor!
And while we're on the subject,

Elves! I'll campaign, I'll write to the Ministry!
I can't sit by and let this injustice be!
Why can't they be like wizards,
Free to do what they may?
What's the matter with elves today?

HERMIONE, RON, and HARRY:
Elves!

HERMIONE (spoken):
Well, they must get paid, don't they?

HERMIONE, RON, and HARRY (sung):
Elves!

HERMIONE (spoken):
Holidays, and sick leave, and pensions…

HERMIONE, RON, and HARRY (sung):
Elves!

HERMIONE (spoken):
Well, at the very least some time off once in a while.

HERMIONE:
Someone should stand up for elfish welfare!
And while we're on the subject,

Elves! Join the cause, if it doesn't trouble you.
Elves! Buy a badge for S. P. E. W.
Someday they'll all have freedom,
Pensions, sick leave, and pay!

HERMIONE, RON, and HARRY:
What's the matter with elves…
Today!

Mad-Eye (GoF, Chap. 13)

To the tune of Rosie

THE SCENE: The Gryffindor Common Room. FRED and GEORGE have just finished a Defense Against the Dark Arts with Mad-Eye Moody and are eagerly telling HARRY, RON, and HERMIONE about it.

FRED:
I was never crazy for DADA.
I confess, I thought it worth ignoring.
Talk of werewolves in Wagga Wagga
Just made me feel “this class is simply boring”.
Lockhart was mental, Quirrell was possessed.
Lupin was wolfish, still he did his best.
But now I love each DADA class I see,
For a brilliant ex-Auror have we.

I can't say how glad I
Am that we have Mad-Eye.
For, when you have Mad-Eye,
Class is wonderful!

GEORGE:
DADA class is groovy
Taught by Mad-Eye Moody.
With a man like Moody
How could anything be dull?

FRED:
Oh, I've heard that it would be bad,
For Mad-Eye, they tell me, is mad!

GEORGE:
But I don't agree, take it from me,

FRED and GEORGE:
There's no one in this world madder than Dad!

FRED:
He really shows things,

GEORGE:
And he really knows things.

FRED and GEORGE:
Knows what fighting Voldy was really like.

GEORGE (at the same time as FRED):
I can't say how glad I

FRED (at the same time as GEORGE):
Oh, doesn't he know his stuff!

GEORGE (at the same time as FRED):
Am that we have Mad-Eye

FRED (at the same time as GEORGE):
Knows if you weren't up to snuff,

GEORGE (at the same time as FRED):
With a man like Mad-Eye,

FRED (at the same time as GEORGE):
You'd snuff it all too soon!

GEORGE (at the same time as FRED):
How could class be dull?

FRED:
It's a rough game the Dark Lord plays,
With Crucios, even AKs.

GEORGE:
But we're being taught by someone who's fought
And survived it clear to the end of his days!

FRED:
And that is Mad-Eye.

FRED and GEORGE:
I can't say how sad I'll
Be when Mad-Eye's no longer here,

GEORGE:
I guess it's back to joke shop career,

FRED and GEORGE:
But I'll be sad when
Mad-Eye's no longer here!

Triwizard Sincere (GoF Chap. 16)

To the tune of Honestly Sincere

THE SCENE: The Great Hall. October 30, 1994, the night before the selection of champions is to take place. ALBUS DUMBLEDORE has just unveiled the Goblet of Fire.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
The placing of your name into the goblet constitutes a binding, magical contract.….Please be very sure, therefore, that you are wholeheartedly prepared to play before you drop your name into the goblet. In other words…

DUMBLEDORE (sung):
You gotta be sincere!

STUDENTS (all talking simultaneously):
What? What's he saying?

DUMBLEDORE:
You gotta be sincere!
If you've got doubts or fears,
You might as well steer clear,
Because you've gotta be
Triwizard Sincere!

If your desire is true
Really want it, you
Take that parchment, you
Write your name down, you
Stick it in that cup,
But first you've gotta be…
I say, you've gotta be
Sincere!

If you're really sincere,
If you're really sincere,
Put your paper in here,
In the Goblet of Fire!

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Nitwit!

The STUDENTS scream and cheer loudly.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Blubber!

More cheers from the STUDENTS.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Oddment!

STUDENTS cheer.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Tweak!

STUDENTS cheer.

DUMBLEDORE (sung):
Once you've entered your name,
You've got to play the game.
If the Goblet chooses you,
Those tasks you'll have to do.
That's why you've got to be
Sincere!

Three testing tasks await.
Three champions toy with fate.
One long grueling year in store,
But get the highest score,
And we'll all know that you're
Sincere!

If you're really sincere,
If you're really sincere,
Put your paper in here,
In the Goblet of Fire!

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Nitwit!

The STUDENTS scream and cheer loudly.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Blubber!

More cheers from the STUDENTS.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Oddment!

STUDENTS cheer.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Tweak!

STUDENTS cheer.

DUMBLEDORE (sung):
Are you Triwizard Sincere? Oh oh oh!
Are you sure you feel sincere?

STUDENTS:
Yes, we're ready! Yes we're ready! Oh yeah!
Yes, we're ready! Oh yeah!

DUMBLEDORE:
Well, decision time is near!
Yes, decision time is near!

Are you sure you feel sincere?
Are you sure you feel sincere?

STUDENTS:
Yes, we're sure we feel sincere!
Yes, we're sure we feel sincere!

DUMBLEDORE:
Are you ready?

STUDENTS:
Oh, yeah!

DUMBLEDORE:
Are you ready?

STUDENTS:
Oh, yeah!

Yes, we really feel sincere!
Yes, we really feel sincere!
Yes, we're ready! Oh yeah!
Yes, we're ready! Oh yeah!
Yes, we're ready! Oh yeah!
Yes, we're ready! Oh yeah!
Yeah, YEAH!

How Thrilling to Be a Champion (GoF Chap. 16)

To the tune of How Lovely to Be a Woman

THE SCENE: A girls' dormitory in Gryffindor Tower, the day of the champion selection. ANGELINA JOHNSON is reflecting on how much she longs to be chosen as Hogwarts Champion.

ANGELINA:
When you're a sporty witch of sixteen,
Known for nothing but Quidditch skill,
You doubt you'll ever get to be courageous.
Then, come October, you're seventeen,
And you feel that sudden thrill,
And you know you finally will
Have your chance, just when it is most
Advantageous.

How thrilling to be a champion!
I hope they choose my name,
For once you are Hogwarts champion,
Then nothing is the same.

How thrilling to be a hero
The students all adore.
Whenever you hear fans cheering,
It's you they're cheering for!

Though danger may be near,
My path ahead is clear.
Whatever they may ask
In each task,
I pledge to do without fear.

How thrilling to be a champion
And set out on a quest,
To demonstrate nerve and talent
In every magic test.
I see now how wonderful things could be,
If only the Hogwarts champion
Were me.

I'll show them, furthermore,
What bravery is for,
Such valor I'll display
That they'll say
“Here stands a true Gryffindor!”

How thrilling to be a champion
And have my name be known
For something that's more than Quidditch,
That truly is my own.
How thrilling to go down in history!
I hope that the Hogwarts champion
Is me.

Who Put My Name Into That Cup? (GoF, Chap. 17)

To the tune of What Did I Ever See in Him?

THE SCENE: Gryffindor Tower. HARRY's name has just come out of the Goblet.

HARRY:
Three names.
Three names.
That is all the Goblet should choose.
Just three,
Not four.
Who could ever be behind this?
Lord Voldemort!

Who put my name into that cup?
All that I know is that it wasn't I.
Was someone out there hoping I would die?
Who put my name into that cup?

Why did the Goblet cough it up?
Was it perhaps a strong Confundus Charm,
Cast by someone who wants to do me harm?
Who put my name into that cup?

Did I choose this? I did not.
Did I want this? I did not.
But it seems like now I've got
To go through with what awaits me.

Who put my name into that cup?
Perhaps I'm foolish, and I should be thrilled,
But now it seems as if I might get killed!
Only three names should come:
Diggory, Delacour, Viktor Krum.
How did they ever
Why did they ever
Who could have ever…

RON:
How'd you do it?

HARRY:
Wasn't me!

RON:
How'd you make it?

HARRY:
Wasn't me!
Are you crazy? Can't you see
That I didn't ever want this?

HARRY and HERMIONE:
Who put my (his) name into that cup?
What could their motive possibly have been?
Somehow I think they meant to do me (him) in!
Only three names should come:
Diggory, Delacour, Viktor Krum.
Who put my (his) name into that cup!

Ronald, Stick With Me (GoF Chap. 17-18)

To the tune of Baby, Talk to Me

THE SCENE: The Gryffindor Common Room, the day after the champion selection. HARRY is trying desperately to regain RON's friendship.

Note: In the interest of simplicity, a few “mmmm”s and “oooh”s, sung by the MALE QUARTET (SEAMUS, DEAN, FRED, and GEORGE) have been omitted here. They should be sung exactly as in the Broadway show. Also, the QUARTET echoes some of HARRY's lines in first person (rather than third person) in keeping with the way the original lyrics were written (This is NOT a mistake).

HARRY:
Stick with me,
Ronald, can't you stick with me?
Truly, I need a friend;
Ronald, stick with me.

Can't you see
What your friendship means to me
You know I can't pretend;
Stick with me.

HARRY (at the same time as FRED and GEORGE):
If you believe me, Tell me so.

FRED and GEORGE (at the same time as HARRY):
Mmmm… Mmmm…

HARRY (at the same time as FRED and GEORGE):
If you trust me, Tell me so.

FRED and GEORGE (at the same time as HARRY):

Ronald,
Let me know.

SEAMUS, DEAN, FRED, and GEORGE (at the same time as HARRY):
Oooh… Ronald,
Oooh…

HARRY (at the same time as QUARTET):
Stick with me,
For I need you desperately.

QUARTET (at the same time as HARRY):
Mmmm…
For I need you desperately…

HARRY (at the same time as QUARTET):
You and me;
That matters the most of all.

QUARTET (at the same time as HARRY's last word):
Can't you see
What your friendship means to me,
Ronald…

HARRY (at the same time as QUARTET):
You know I can't pretend;

QUARTET (at the same time as HARRY):
Oh, Ronald, please…

HARRY (at the same time as FRED and GEORGE):
Stick with me.

FRED and GEORGE Go on, give him a chance, it's gonna be fine…

HARRY:
If you believe me,

QUARTET:
Oooh… Tell him so…

HARRY:
If you trust me,

QUARTET:
Ronald, won't you tell him so…

HARRY (at the same time as QUARTET):
Do you miss me?
Tell me so.

QUARTET (at the same time as HARRY):
Oooh… Oooh…

QUARTET:
Ronald… Ronald…

HARRY:
Let me know.

QUARTET:
Stick… stick with me,
For I need you desperately…
You and me,
That matters the most of all…

For I need you desperately…
You and me,

SEAMUS:
That matters the most…

HARRY, DEAN, FRED, and GEORGE:
Please… Please…

SEAMUS:
…of all…

DEAN:
Stick with me…

FRED:
Stick with me…

GEORGE:
Stick with me…

HARRY:
Stick with me…

HARRY and QUARTET:
Mmmm…

The Gossip Hour (GoF Chap. 18)

To the tune of The Telephone Hour

THE SCENE: The Great Hall at breakfast time, the morning after the champion selection. Rumors are flying all over the school about HARRY's selection as champion.

Note: I took a little liberty putting the “POTTER STINKS” badges in this scene. They don't actually appear in the book until a few days later.

HANNAH ABBOTT:

FRED and GEORGE (at the same time as HANNAH, ERNIE, TERRY, and MICHAEL):

How'd he ever get in?

FRED and GEORGE (at the same time as HANNAH, ERNIE, TERRY, and MICHAEL):

HANNAH, ERNIE, TERRY, and MICHAEL (at the same time as FRED and GEORGE):
Still, there's nothing to fear!

FRED and GEORGE (at the same time as HANNAH, ERNIE, TERRY, and MICHAEL):
Well done!

HANNAH, ERNIE, TERRY, and MICHAEL:
There's no way that he'll win!

COLIN CREEVEY (approaching HARRY and HERMIONE at the Gryffindor table):
Hello, Miss Hermione,
This is Colin Creevey,

HANNAH, ERNIE, TERRY, and MICHAEL (at the same time as COLIN):
Well, it seems that he's in!

COLIN (spoken):
Hermione?

HANNAH, ERNIE, TERRY, and MICHAEL (at the same time as COLIN):
That's what Dumbledore thinks!

COLIN (spoken):
Can I talk to Harry?

HANNAH, ERNIE, TERRY, and MICHAEL (at the same time as COLIN):
Go with Cedric instead!

COLIN (spoken):
He's busy?

COLIN:
Hello, Harry Potter,

MALFOY and SLYTHERINS (flashing their POTTER STINKS badges):
Hiya, Potter!

Hey, ya scarhead!

HUFFLEPUFFS and RAVENCLAWS (at the same time as MALFOY and SLYTHERINS):
That's what Dumbledore thinks!

MALFOY and SLYTHERINS (at the same time as HUFFLEPUFFS and RAVENCLAWS):
Whatcha up to?

HUFFLEPUFFS and RAVENCLAWS (at the same time as MALFOY and SLYTHERINS):
Go with Cedric instead!

MALFOY and SLYTHERINS (at the same time as HUFFLEPUFFS and RAVENCLAWS):

Oh, YEAH!!!

A Valiant Boy of the Gryffindor House (GoF Chap. 18)

To the tune of A Healthy, Normal, American Boy

THE SCENE: The Great Hall. Later, a broom cupboard. RITA SKEETER is “interviewing” HARRY for the Daily Prophet after his selection as Triwizard champion.

Note: I took a few liberties with this scene. Several of RITA's queries in this song (those about HERMIONE, and about HARRY's scar) are only ever addressed in later scenes in the book. And I'm sorry my setting of “We Love You, Conrad” as part of this song is so similar to R. J. Lupin's. There's not a whole lot of variety that's possible with that little ditty, anyway.

RITA SKEETER (shouts):
Harry Potter!!! I don't believe it, it's HARRY POTTER!!!

She shoves him into the broom cupboard.

RITA (spoken):
Hey, Harry, how about answering a couple questions? How do you feel about entering the tournament?

HARRY (spoken):
Uh-

RITA (spoken, cutting him off):
How do you feel?
Don't say how you feel.
I see you're too shy to tell me,
So I'll tell them how you feel!

RITA (sung):
He feels…
Proud and eager!
Brave and daring,
And rebellious, furthermore!

He will gladly Face each challenge!
He who vanquished Voldemort!

For he's a fine, upstanding,
Bold and noble,
Valiant boy of the Gryffindor house!

RITA (spoken):
And that's why he entered his name in-

HARRY (spoken):
Entered his name? I didn't enter myself; somebody-

RITA (spoken):
Cantate!

A trio of SPRITES burst from the end of RITA's wand.

SPRITES:
We love you, Harry!
Oh, yes we do!
We love you, Harry!
And we'll be true!
The boy who conquered You-Know-Who!
Oh, Harry, we love you…

RITA (spoken):
Very nice! Say, what's the pitch on that Muggle-born girl, Hermione Granger? Are you two in love?

HARRY (spoken):
Uh-

RITA (spoken):
Is he in love?
Is Potter in love?
I think there may be something to the rumor he's in love!

HARRY (sung):
She's my best friend,
Like a sister,
But between us there is nil!

RITA:
There is something;
I can see it!
Tell it to the Quick-Quotes Quill!

For he's a fine, upstanding,
Bold and noble,
Valiant boy of the Gryffindor house!

HARRY (spoken):
Then why don't you ask her? She'll tell you there's nothing-

RITA (spoken):
Cantate!

Again, the trio of SPRITES appear from RITA's wand.

SPRITES:
We love you, Harry!
Oh, yes we do!
We love you, Harry!
And we'll be true!

RITA (spoken, as the SPRITES continue to hum):
Some day, I'll tell the whole world what Harry Potter said to me the day we first met. “Gee, Ms. Skeeter,” he said eagerly, “do you think they'll let me go first on the First Task? That way I can have first crack at those dirty-"

HARRY (spoken):
I didn't-

RITA (spoken):
Or whatever it was you said… Hey, Mr. Potter, give us the scoop:
Is your scar still hurting a lot?

HARRY (spoken):
Now, listen here!
This gossip must cease!
It's none of your damn business if my scar disturbs my peace!

RITA (sung):
This is business for the Ministry!

HARRY (spoken):
No, it isn't!

RITA:
I'm afraid the lad's insane!

HARRY:
It's a portent of Lord Voldemort

RITA:
Someone's addled with his brain!

Still, he's a fine, upstanding,
Bold and noble,
Valiant boy of the Gryffindor house!

RITA (spoken):
Do you remember your parents at all, Harry?

HARRY:
Uh-

RITA (spoken):
What do you know?
What do you recall?
The Daily Prophet's dying to know the secrets you recall!

HARRY (sung):
There is nothing I remember…

RITA (at the same time as HARRY):
There is nothing he remembers…

HARRY (at the same time as RITA):
Of the secrets of my past…

RITA (at the same time as HARRY):
Of his tragic, tainted past…

HARRY (at the same time as RITA):
I just know a flash of green light…

RITA (at the same time as HARRY):
From the Dark Lord's foul Kedavra

HARRY (at the same time as RITA):
After which I felt aghast!

RITA (at the same time as HARRY):
So, the truth will out at last!

HARRY (at the same time as RITA):
That is all that I can recall of…

RITA (at the same time as HARRY):
Do you think that they'd be proud, now…

HARRY (at the same time as RITA):
Mum and Dad I've never known…

RITA (at the same time as HARRY):
If they saw you up and grown…

HARRY (at the same time as RITA):
Now, I've got to play this tourney…

RITA (at the same time as HARRY):
Saw you entered in this tourney…

HARRY (at the same time as RITA):
Will you just leave me alone?

RITA (at the same time as HARRY):
Sad, poor Potter all alone!

The sprites burst out of RITA's wand once more.

SPRITES (at the same time as RITA):
We love you, Harry!
Oh, yes we do!
We love you, Harry!
And we'll be true!

Oh, oh, Harry!
We love you!
We love you, Harry!
We'll be true!

RITA (at the same time as the SPRITES):
Oh, hallowed halls of Hogwarts School;
Of wizardry of old!

Oh, Gryffindor! Oh, Gryffindor!
Forever brave at heart!

RITA and SPRITES:
For he's a fine, upstanding,
Pure and selfless,
Bold and noble,
Truly valiant,
Brave Gryffindor-
Brave Gryffindor
Boy!!!

Your Strengths (GoF Chap. 20)

To the tune of One Boy

THE SCENE: MOODY's office, the day before the First Task. The IMPOSTOR MOODY gives HARRY some advice on how to face the dragon.

MOODY:
Your strengths,
Play to your strengths;
Dragons seem fearsome,
But once you get near some;
Your strengths
Lead you to victory.

HARRY:
Lead me to victory.

MOODY (at the same time as HARRY's last note):
Your strengths,
Yes, you've got strengths!
Something you're skilled at,
You'll never get killed at!
Your strengths;
What can they be?

HARRY (spoken):
Quidditch, but…

MOODY (sung):
Flying-that's the one!
In the air you can get it done.
Take the easy way;
On a broom you'll save the day!

HARRY (spoken):
But I'm not allowed a broom, only…

MOODY (sung):
Well then,
Get what you need.
Just use a simple spell,
And all is well;
One spell,
And, my boy, you're home free.
Yes, my boy, you're home free.
Yes, my boy, you're home free.

HARRY:
There must be a way;
On my broom I could save the day.
He said a simple spell
Would ensure that all was well.

My strengths,
Play to my strengths;
I can get through it,
And one spell will do it.
One spell-
Can I learn it in time?
I will learn it in time…

Just Do an Accio (GoF Chap. 20)

To the tune of Put On a Happy Face

THE SCENE: An empty classroom. HARRY has enlisted HERMIONE's help in practicing the Summoning Charm.

HERMIONE:
That dragon may seem scary,
Just do an Accio!
You can get through this, Harry;
Just do an Accio!

Just do your best to try and concentrate,
And there you'll be,
Firebolt in hand, prepared to levitate
To victory!

You're gonna need your broomstick;
Just use a simple spell.
Try it across the room, quick!
I'm sure you'll do it well.

You'll get through this; that's one thing I know;
Oh, just do an Accio!

Just do an Accio!

HARRY:
I'll do an Accio!

I put my trust in you, Hermione,
'Cause you're the best.
So I am now prepared to try any-
-thing you suggest.

HERMIONE:
No need to feel too queasy;
Although the schedule's tight,
Practice will make this easy;
You're gonna be all right.

Tomorrow you'll leave the ground far below.
Oh,

HARRY and HERMIONE:
Just do an Accio!

Elves (reprise) (GoF Chap. 21)

To the tune of Kids (reprise)

THE SCENE: The Hogwarts Kitchens. HERMIONE bewails the sad plight of the Hogwarts house-elves-sentiments that DOBBY unexpectedly shares.

HERMIONE:
Elves! I don't know what's wrong with these elves today!
Elves! Why don't they stand up and demand their pay?

DOBBY:
Elves! Dobby cannot understand
Why they stay enslaved.
He can't see why
They should ever want that.

RON:
Just you wait and see…

DOBBY (at the same time as RON):
Elves! Go ahead and write to the Ministry!

RON (at the same time as DOBBY):
…how wrong you are, Hermione.

DOBBY (at the same time as RON):
Still, they'll remain content to accept slavery!

RON (at the same time as DOBBY):
You see, they actually like it!

DOBBY:
Why can't they be like Dobby,
Happy to work for pay?
What's the matter with elves today?

HARRY, RON, and HERMIONE (at the same time as DOBBY's last note):
Elves! What the devil's wrong with these elves today?
Elves! Can't the system work any other way?
Why can't they be like wizards,
Free to do what they may?

HERMIONE:
What's the matter with elves?

RON:
What's the matter with YOU?

HARRY, RON, HERMIONE, and DOBBY:
What's the matter with elves
Today?

Veela Fleur (GoF Chap. 22)

To the tune of Spanish Rose

THE SCENE: A corridor. RON has just asked FLEUR DELACOUR to the Yule Ball. Once RON is out of earshot, FLEUR brags about her “special” ability to attract men (this is not entirely canon; yes, I know she hasn't even met BILL yet, but oh well).

FLEUR:
I'm just a rare Veela beauty according to Ron,
Straight off ze flying carriage from far Beauxbatons;
Which eez kinda funny, 'cause as eet happens,
My grandmuzzer was one!

FLEUR (spoken):
Veela? Okay, Ron, I'll be a Veela! And you, Ronald Weasley, 'aven't seen ze last of me!

FLEUR (sung):
I'll be ze rare delight of 'Ogwarts Castle,
And all day long, my features I'll deesplay.
To get away from me will be a hassle,
For I'll make sure I'm always in your way.

Ze men who pass me by extol my beauty,
Or so my gorgeous grandma always said.
But to return zair love eez not my duty;
Zey might as well forget me and drop dead!

FLEUR (spoken):
La la la!
La Belle-
-Veela!
Ssssssss…

FLEUR (sung):
So, call me “La Belle Fleur Française!”
You sample my bouillabaisse?
Say “'Ello” to Fleur, and she'll say “Bonjour!”,
Zen we'll go our separate ways!

FLEUR (spoken):
Au revoir!

FLEUR (sung):
Forever ze wild Veela Fleur,
La Mademoiselle Delacour,
'Er beauty unspoken, she'll leave you 'eartbroken,
Zat's me! Veela Fleur!

FLEUR (spoken):
Me name Fleur Isabelle Delacour!
You go wiz me to Yule Ball?
You like me? Yes? No? Maybe? Zat's all!

FLEUR (sung) Now, Meester Weasley, just a piece of advice from ze 'eart:
To tempt Veela Fleur eezn't smart.
What ever you do, she'll never love you,
So why should you even start?

Your bruzzer, zere's a man 'oo can attract me.
I'll win 'eem with my bag of Veela tricks!
And Meester Ronald, if you don't deestract me,
'E eez going to be my fiancé in Book Six!

So, now zat you've met Veela Fleur,
You'll never forget Veela Fleur!
She'll taunt you; she'll grieve you,
Zen one day, she'll leave you,
Say so long to Veela Fleur!

Not Dragon,
Not Kneazle,
Not Thestral,
Not Weasel,
But Veela Fleur!

A Lot of Learnin' to Do (GoF Chap. 29)

To the tune of A Lot of Livin' to Do

THE SCENE: An empty classroom. HERMIONE and RON are helping HARRY practice spells in preparation for the Third Task.

HERMIONE:
That third task-that maze is a-waitin',
And it's time some hexes you knew.
If you plan on participatin',
You've got a lot of learnin' to do!

Now, there's lots of dangers to weather,
And you don't know much yet, it's true.
But we three will all work together.
We've got a lot of learnin' to do!

HARRY:
I can see I've chances of winning!
Such strange fortune out of the blue!
Why, it truly sets my head spinning!
But first we've got this learnin' to do!

We've spells we must learn, hexes to work,
Jinxes to try!
Shall we start, then,
You and I?

RON:
Accio and Expelliarmus!

HERMIONE:
Reducto; Impediment, too!

HARRY:
Protego, so nothing can harm us!

HARRY, RON, and HERMIONE:
We've got a lot of learnin' to do!

We'll keep working day in and day out!
Stupefy, if we're in a stew!
Four-Point Spell, for finding the way out!
We've such a lot of learnin' to do!
Wow!

HERMIONE (at the same time as HARRY and RON):
We've spells we must learn,

HARRY and RON (at the same time as HERMIONE):
We're ready!

HERMIONE (at the same time as HARRY and RON):
Hexes to work,

HARRY and RON (at the same time as HERMIONE):
You ready?

HERMIONE:
Jinxes to try!
Shall we start…

HARRY and RON:
Yeah!

HERMIONE:
…then, you and I?

HARRY, RON, and HERMIONE:
Oh, we'll look back, when all this is ended,
On the year our dreams all came true!
But to end things as we intended,
Oh, we've got a lot of learnin',
Such a lot of learnin',
What a lot of learnin' to do!!!
Yeah!!!

A DADA Teacher (GoF Chap. 35-36)

To the tune of An English Teacher

THE SCENE: MOODY's office, following CEDRIC's death and VOLDEMORT's rebirth. HARRY expresses his shock at learning that MOODY could have been working for VOLDEMORT. Later, DUMBLEDORE's office, following CROUCH's confession.

HARRY:
His working for Lord Voldy was the last thing I'd expect,
Surely, how can you expect
Ever to suspect
Moody,
Moody,
Mad-Eye Moody?

Wasn't he the one who filled up half the cells in Azkaban?
Could this truly be a man
Who would work for Voldy?
All year for Voldy?

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Harry, this can't have been the real Moody.

HARRY:
“He's a brilliant ex-Auror”;
That's what you said!
“He was always on our side”;
That's what you said!
Now the Dark Lord has risen,
And Cedric's dead!

How was it that a Death Eater was he?
The man who came to Hogwarts to be
Our DADA teacher?

A DADA teacher,
A DADA teacher,
I thought that we had a DADA teacher!

But he's a crazed Death Eater in disguise,
Working at Hogwarts in secret;
Helping the Dark Lord to rise!

A man who fights Dark wizards
Should not be someone
Who then decides
To himself become one!

What happened to his anti-Dark Arts career?
Could this have really been Moody, then?
Was this Mad-Eye Moody, then?
Auror Alastor Mad-Eye Moody, then-
The DADA teacher here?

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
The real Moody would not have removed you from my sight after what happened tonight. This man is an imposter.

DUMBLEDORE (sung):
And it was goodbye, Mad-Eye Moody;
Hello, Barty Junior;
Goodbye, Alastor;
Hello, Voldemort;

'Cause when he took you from my side,
That was when I knew
He had lied
All year long;
From the start he'd been an imposter.

A DADA teacher,
A DADA teacher,
This man was never our DADA teacher!

Tonight he just confirmed my deepest fear:
This man was never our Moody, then-
Never Mad-Eye Moody, then-
Never Alastor Mad-Eye Moody, then,
The DADA teacher here!

We Love You, Rowling

To the tune of We Love You, Conrad

THE SCENE: The cast of GoF gathers to pay tribute to the creator of the HARRY POTTER series (and bemoan the fact that the series is over now).

ALL:
We love you, Rowling;
Oh, yes we do!
We love your series,
And we'll be true!
Now that it's over,
We're blue!
Jo Rowling,
We love YOU!!!
