A filk by Eric Oppen to the tune of One Tin Soldier, from the time right after Voldemort made that fateful visit to Godric's Hollow:

Listen, Aurors, to my story
Heed you well this stirring tale
Of the Dark Lord, in his glory
Who thought he would never fail
Now the Dark Lord in his power
Possessed magicks dark and grim
Until in a fated hour
A baby in a cot foiled him!

Chorus:
The Dark Lord wanted to lead us,
Rule us with a rod of might,
We would never let him bleed us,
Though it seemed a hopeless fight,
But the Dark Lord was defeated,
How it was, no one can say,
Sitting blinking in the ruins,
Harry Potter saved the day!

When the Dark Lord came from nowhere,
Wielding powers quite arcane,
Many wizards joined with him there,
To help him achieve his reign,
Curses that should not be written
Slaughtered those who would not yield
And our peaceful Wizard Britain
Turned into a battlefield.

(Chorus)

Barty Crouch soon rose to power
Fighting on the side of good,
Strong as any stone-built tower,
Doing things none thought he could!
Gave the Aurors legal freedom
To use curses none may use
Swore they'd very seldom need 'em
Swore they'd not stoop to abuse.

(Chorus)

The Dark Lord hit Godric's Hollow,
On a fateful autumn night,
His "Trick-or-Treat" death would follow,
He was spreading evil's blight.
He killed James and Lily Potter,
Then he tried to kill their boy,
But the spell he used to slaughter
Reflected, did not destroy!

(Chorus)

Now all magic folk be joyous,
The Dark Mark no more we'll see
No more evil will destroy us,
Of our fears at last we're free!
Raise a glass to Harry Potter,
Whom the Dark Lord could not slay,
Butterbeer, beer, wine or water,
Drink to "Harry Potter Day!"

(Chorus)

A filk by John Newmark to the tune of One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack) by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter

Listen, children, to a story that was written short ago,
'Bout a wizard who was evil and three children were his foe.
At ol' Hogwarts was a treasure which was called the Sorc'ror's stone,
And Lord Voldemort he swore he'd have it for his very own.

Go ahead and read the novel, go borrow it from a friend.
It's only part one of seven; good is victorious in the end.
You won't be disappointed when you reach the final page
On the sleepy morning after...three young wizards save the day.

Then the students at ol' Hogwarts started turning into stone.
When the secrets of a chamber were released a ghost did moan.
Little Ginny of the Weasleys withheld info she should share
And if it weren't for her brother, and friends she'd be buried there.

Go ahead and read the novel, go borrow it from a friend
It's only part two of seven; good is victorious in the end.
You won't be disappointed when you reach the final page
On the sleepy morning after...three young wizards save the day.

Now young Harry was quite frightened when he thought he saw a Grim
And Hermione was given a device that turned back time
Soon they found out that their teacher was a werewolf, but he knew
Harry's parents, James and Lilly, and a rat named Pettigrew.

Go ahead and read the novel, go borrow it from a friend
It's only part three of seven; good is victorious in the end.
You won't be disappointed when you reach the final page
On the sleepy morning after...three young wizards save the day.

A filk by Alex to the tune of Lola by The Kinks

HARRY, sitting alone in the Three Broomsticks, has a flashback and starts singing.

HARRY:
I met him at my house when I was one year old,
We were living as Muggles, couldn't magically clean so it was Moldy,
M-O-L-D-Y
He came to our place when Peter spilled the beans,
He came in through the front door and he made a scene; his name was Voldy
V-O-L-D-Y, Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy, Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy

Well, I'm not the world's most powerful wizard,
but when he cast AKs on me, well I bounced it back at my Voldy,
Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy

Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand,
how it ripped his soul from his body when he isn't a man, Oh My Voldy
Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy, Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy

Well He fled from the ruins of my house that night,
Incorporeal, What a sight!
Hagrid picked me up and put me on the seat,
And said 'Dear boy, come to the Dursley's with Me!'

Well, I'm not the world's most tolerant guy,
So when I went to the Dursley's, well I almost cried for my Voldy,
Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy, Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy
Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy, Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy

FLASH FORWARD TO MIRROR OF ERISED CHAMBER

I pushed his hand away,
I grabbed Quirrell's face,
I fought for the stone,
I heard him scream 'Kill him, Please'

And that is the way that it's going to stay,
And it's always going to be that way with my Voldy,
Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy

Riddle's diary will possess,
But I won't confess,
When Dumbly gives me a good twinkling about Voldy,
Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy

Well I learned my lesson in GoF,
When Voldy came back, by the theft
Of blood from my body, and the bone of his dad,
And mixed it in a cauldron that turned bright Red

And it made Wormtail really mad
To lose his hand
And get treated like dirt by his Voldy,
Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy, Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy

Cause cutting bone
With a dagger can really hurt,
And you can't quite stem the flow of blood just using a shirt
From your Voldy

Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy, Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy
Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy, Vo-vo-vo-vo-Voldy

A filk by Alex H. to the tune of Macy Gray's Why Didn't You Call Me?

THE SCENE: Harry is dressed up in funky 70's clothes, complete with afro, singing to a hexed Voldemort- who is surrounded by many of the Hogwarts students and staff, and they are dancing. Even Hermione's hair is teased out and she's cutting loose.

HARRY:
We fought hard one night
Everything was bright
Thanks to my dear mother
I survived my plight
You could have kicked my butt, but
Hey! Why couldn't you kill me?
I only have this one scar...

In Potions class I wait
Staring straight at Snape
Thinking about the concoctions
He wants me to make
Well, this is just so boring
HEY! I hope Snape goes easy
Don't wanna fail my exams...

Why don't you fight me again?
'Cos I'm gonna say
When I beat you again
Thought you could be a just a bit tougher than that
I never thought you would fail so badly
And go splat

I've resorted to
A Quidditch match or two
I know I love the pursuit, yeah
I guess I owe that all to you
We had such a good match,
Hey! I bet you can't catch me!
You'd probably lose me again...

Why don't you fight me again?
I think you're weak!
When I face you again
I'm going to use every spell I've learned from my friends
I never thought it would come in handy
We had such a good fight, hey
Why couldn't you kill me?
I bet it's my mum-
I bet it's my mum-
I bet it's my mummy's hand...

A filk by Tracy Hunt to the tune of the same name by Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons

I pictured Harry strolling along the beach (perhaps of TBAY?). Feeling retrospective, he looks back on the night his parents were murdered and sings...

HARRY:
Oh, what a night
Late October back in eighty-one
What a very nasty thing to've done
As I remember what a night.

Oh, what a night
You know I didn't even know your name
But I was never going to be the same
What a wizard
What a night.

Oh, I got a funny feelin' when he walked in the room
Oh my, as I recall it ended oh so soon

Oh, what a night
Castin' curses, AK-blastin' me
He was evil, killing all 'round me
Sacrifices!
What a night.

I saw a flash, like green lightnin' -- but a blunder
Spinnin' my head around then knockin' me out from under
Oh, what a night!

Oh, what a night!
Oh, what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feelin' when he walked in the room
Oh my, as I recall it ended oh so soon

Oh what a night
Why'd it take so long end that night?
What went wrong?
And how am I alright?
I remember
What a night.

I saw a flash, like green lightnin' -- but a blunder
Spinnin' my head around then knockin' me out from under
Oh, what a night!

Oh, what a night!
Oh, what a night.
Oh, what a night.

Music fades as Harry walks off toward the sunset - too sappy? nah, I didn't think so, either....

To the tune of Jessie and Lucy from Sondheim's Follies (cut from the premiere)

Here's a little story that may sound bizarre
But has won some great acclaim.
I'll sing you of Harry P and Tommy R
That is, He-Who-Can't Be-Named.
Now Harry has the bravey
And a Thing-to-People-Save, so he
Was sorted by the Hat to Gryffindor.
Tommy has audacity
And being neo-fascist, he
Transformed himself into Lord Voldemort.
Given these antagonists
You may know why
These two share such bitter hate
Canon so narrates
Their fate

Harry's a hero
And has been since birth
Tommy would domi-
Nate all of the earth
Harry's just a year old, he
Tommy calls himself Voldy
Harry's safe with his Mommy,
Lest Tommy tarry.

Scary Tommy does worry
About Mommy's son.
Mommy must hurry
Or her life is done
Tommy tries to kill Harry,
Mommy tries to flee Tommy
Then he's hit by a bomb, the
Giant tsunami.

Poor old Vold
Shattered and then scattered whole.
Harry gains powers that Tommy bore
Tommy, harried, now must head off-shore

Harry's with Dursleys
Just barely he's fed.
Tommy's entombed, he
Is virtually dead.
Harry hasn't a prayer, he
Tommy's deep in despair, see
But Harry and Tommy must once more collide
And then they will someday
The fate of the whole world decide!

Now if you see Harry P,
Hogwarts' stalwart Harry P,
Tell him of the antebellum prophecy!
Now if you see Tommy R
Snaky, sneaky Tommy R
Let him know the threat'll flow from kid with scar
Wary Harry
Swami Tommy.
Ask 'em when they plan to get together next,
'Cause when they get together, one will be hexed! Yeah!

A filk by Richard to the tune of The Devil Went To Jamaica, which is a parody of The Devil Went Down to Georgia. This song takes place in Harry's first year

The Dark Lord went to Hogwarts, he was looking for Harry Potter,
He was doing fine, "That boy is mine, I'll catch that little rotter."
When he came across a wizard who was otherwise good and true,
And the Dark Lord slid down the banister to the man and said "Mister, I challenge you."
"I guess you kinda figured who I'm out a-looking for,
And you must know my only foe is a first year Gryffindor."
"Now your spells seem okay, but mine can kill a man times four,
I'll bet the devils in hell against your spells to defend mines better than yours."
The wizard said "My name's Albus, and you ain't seen nothing yet,
"A shot of this brew will turn you blue, you got yourself a bet."

(Chorus):
Albus filled a cauldron and he made sure it's a bomb,
Cause Voldy's still got his potions from his years of being Tom.
You'll win a million galleons if you eliminate Voldy's bull,
But if you don't The Dark Lord gets your soul…

The Dark Lord packed a cauldron with a little thistle and newt's eyes,
And fire shot from his wand tip as he fired up to fry,
He picked up his wand again and he waved a mighty spell,
And wand sparks flew at Albus, but he handled it quite well.
When the spells were done, Albus said, "hey man, those weren't all cool,
"Now watch me please, and you will see just how much you are a fool."

(Chorus)

They traded shots all day and night,
Ain't gonna stop till either one takes flight.
Albus threw a spell all strait and true,
Yes, I do believe Voldy's blue.

Lord Voldy bowed his head cause he knew that he'd been beat,
He laid his tattered wand on the ground at Albus's feet.
Albus said, "that's alright Voldy, come on back if you ever want Round Two,
"But I told you once you son of a b*tch, my spell will turn you blue."

(Chorus)

Fired spells back and forth,
Everyone's trying to kill Voldemort,
The Dark Lord left and went back home,
Won't try again to take Albus alone.

A filk by The Final Stillness of Saturn to the tune of The Girl All the Bad Guys Want by Bowling for Soup.

Twelve o'clock, Friday night and he's sleepin',
Wakes up to clutch his forehead that hurts even in his dreams.
His name is Harry; he's a wizard with a weird scar.
He owns a two way, but we're not quite sure what that means.

And when he wins,
The Eaters bow and the Dark Lord glares.
We never can catch him!

Cause he's watchin' Quidditch,
Dreamin' of our Master's rise,
Listenin' to Sirius,
Looking through his mum's eyes.

It's like a prophecy
He is runnin' away.
If you were us, then you'd say
"Someone curse me today!"
As we face good wands' rays,
Tryin' to get the boy that Voldemort wants.
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!

We like Slytherin, and he likes Gryffindor.
The Order's full of aurors that are mad at bad boys.
He says he'd like to become an auror after school.
He'll never know that we're the best that he'll never join.

And when he wins,
The Eaters bow and the Dark Lord glares.
We never can catch him!

Cause he's watchin' Quidditch,
Dreamin' of our Master's rise,
Listenin' to Sirius,
Looking through his mom's eyes.

'Tom' hates 'im with a passion,
Can't stand when he runs,
Rulin' with a firm hand,
Does a black hood make a man?

It's like a prophecy
He is runnin' away.
If you were us, then you'd say
"Someone curse me today!"
As we face good wands' rays,
Tryin' to get the boy that Voldemort wants.
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!

There he goes again,
With glasses on, and singe marks on his head.
He kicked our butts, we just wanna be buried.
It'd be better than to face His fury!

Now we're watchin' Quidditch,
Tryin' to help our Lord rise,
Listenin' to Voldemort,
Dire curses on our minds.
We can hate with passion,
But we can't stop him when he runs.
We just yell out curses...curses...curses...

It's like a prophecy
He is runnin' away.
If you were us, then you'd say
"Someone curse me today!"
As we face good wands' rays,
Tryin' to get the boy that Voldemort wants.
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!

He's the boy that Voldemort wants!
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!
(There he goes again)
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!
He's the boy that Voldemort wants!
(There he goes again)

A filk by Miranda Shadowind to the tune of In the Dark of the Night from Anastasia

THE SCENE: HARRY'S bedroom at the Dursleys', post-GoF. HARRY, shaking and clutching his burning scar, has just woken up from another nightmare. Once the pain has subsided, he gets out of bed and starts writing a frantic letter to Sirius, singing as he goes.

HARRY:
In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be -
It scared me out of my wits -
A wizard blasted to bits!
Then I saw from on high
that the wizard was... me!!

The scene then changes to the Little Hangleton graveyard, where VOLDEMORT has gathered his DEATH EATERS for a meeting...

VOLDEMORT:
I was once the most powerful wizard in the world.

When the Potter clan crossed me they made a mistake!
My curse made each of them pay
But one little boy got away!
Little Harry, beware,
Lord Voldy's awake!

DEATH EATERS:
In the dark of the night evil will find him
In the dark of the night just before dawn!
Aah...

VOLDEMORT:
Revenge will be sweet

ALL:
When he's dead at our feet!

DEATH EATERS:
In the dark of the night

VOLDEMORT:
He'll be gone!

I can feel that my powers are slowly returning!
Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell!

Wormtail hurriedly does as his master commanded

VOLDEMORT:
When the pieces fall into place
I'll see him pale in the face!
We'll prepare-y, Harry, your place,
in Hell!

DEATH EATERS:
In the dark of the night terror will strike him!

VOLDEMORT:
Terror's the least I can do!

DEATH EATERS:
In the dark of the night evil will brew.
Oooo!

ALL:
Soon he will feel-

VOLDEMORT:
-that his nightmares are real

ALL:
In the dark of the night

VOLDEMORT:
He'll be through!

DEATH EATERS:
In the dark of the night
Evil will find him

RANDOM DE:
Find him!

DEATH EATERS:
Ooh!
In the dark of the night visions come true.

RANDOM DE:
Crucio him!

VOLDEMORT:
My boy, here's a sign -

ALL:
It's the end of the line!

In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...

VOLDEMORT: (beckoning the circled DEATH EATERS forward)
Come Death Eaters,
Bow to your master,
Let your evil shine!

The DEATH EATERS step forward and bow very low.

DEATH EATERS: (rising)
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...

During the following lines all DEATH EATERS produce brooms, mount them, and begin to fly away.

VOLDEMORT:
Find him now,
Yes, fly ever faster

ALL:
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...
In the dark of the night...

VOLDEMORT:
He'll be mine!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yes, I know thus far Harry's nightmares have only been about things that actually happened. But having him sing the first six lines made the most sense to me.

A filk by Eric Oppen to the tune of Send In The Clowns from Sondheim's A Little Night Music

HARRY:
He killed my mom
He killed my dad
All of the things that he's done
Make me so mad,
Lord Voldemort.

VOLDEMORT:
I was on top,
Life was first-rate,
Then my curse backfired on me,
What a bad fate!
Lord Voldemort,
I'm Lord Voldemort!

HARRY:
Evil, he is,
Killer, and worse,
He wants to see me carried off in a hearse,
Wants to rule all the Wizarding World,
Challenge is made,
Flag is unfurled!

VOLDEMORT:
I've got to win,
Death's my great fear,
Life, at least my life, is terribly dear!
Lord Voldemort
I'm Lord Voldemort,
Isn't that clear?

A filk by Gryffleraverin to the tune of Dream a Little Dream of Me by the Mammas and the Pappas

HARRY and VOLDEMORT share a rare duet, sitting together by a piano as HARRY complains about certain nightmares he has been having, and VOLDEMORT - gasp! - threatens to kill him.

HARRY:
Scar's stinging pain will fill you
Nightmare voices do whisper "I'll kill you"
Crows singin' in the graveyard's yew tree
Dream a little dream of he

Say 'Not quite yet' and plot it
Just leave me be until you have got it
While I am safe and glad as can be
Dream a little dream of he

VOLDEMORT:
Scar's fading but I linger on boy
Still craving my rise
I'm planning to stay till you're gone boy
Plotting your demise

HARRY:
Bad dreams till Voldemort finds you
Bad dreams that leave all good things behind you
When he rises, whenever that be
Dream a little dream of he

VOLDEMORT uses his freakishly long fingers to skillfully play the piano

VOLDEMORT:
Scar's fading but I linger on boy
Still craving my rise
I'm planning to stay till you're gone boy
Plotting your demise

HARRY:
Bad dreams till Voldemort finds you
Bad dreams that leave all good things far behind you
When he rises, whenever that be
Dream a little dream of he

HARRY runs off, and VOLDEMORT swears, realizing he just missed a perfectly good chance at slaughtering the last Potter

A filk by Totally Tonks to the tune of The Rainbow Connection from The Muppet Movie

You know there are so many
Songs about Potter
And Voldermort alike
Some sing about visions
That sound like Sybil's illusions
Thoughts of theories won't subside
So I've heard wands have nothing
to do with it
But I know they're wrong wait and see

Its all Harry & Voldy
Their Wand Connection
Its all in book seven trust me!

Who suggested Death Eater
Lily, wife of James
This was thrown out by JKR
Potter heads thought of that
And some scar heads believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so pleasin'
That keeps us all readin'
I know the secret we will read

It's all Harry and Voldy
Their Wand Connection
Why won't scar heads believe me?

Harry will see it in sleep
And he'll here my voice
He'll hear me calling his name
Just like in the chapter she called
Priori Incantatem
And The last battle, they're one and the same
I think I figured this one out totally
Later you'll all praise me

It's all Harry and Voldy
Their Wand Connection
In the last battle we will read!

NOTE: LORD VOLDEMORT, having egregiously failed to meet the minimal Evil Overlord standards during the first four volumes, below outlines some of the procedural changes he is planning to institute over the next fiscal year. But pending the release of Volume Five, he has little choice for now but to endure the jibes of his principal antagonist with "Patience."

Enter LORD VOLDEMORT. Enter, from the opposite direction, HARRY POTTER

VOLDEMORT
Just call me Voldemort
In my anti-Harry war
I've made use of tactics
At moments climactic
Which I in hindsight deplore

With Potter's life at stake
It proved a dear mistake
When young Thomas Riddle
Did naught else but piddle
Instead of spring his snake

HARRY
A most contrite Dark Lord
A not-too-bright Dark Lord
An "unloose-his-bonding-and-give-back-his-wanding
Then-fall-on-my-sword" Dark Lord

VOLDEMORT
If I've gained the upper hand
I swear I shan't grandstand
I've given up fooling
With ritual dueling
Long speeches are henceforth banned

Expository prose
Is one of my "no-nos"
For Overlord status
I'll not gain for gratis
If my mouth can't stay closed

A quite reformed Dark Lord
A well-informed Dark Lord
A completely-believable-chillingly-evil-ble
Overdrive Overlord

HARRY
A total dork Dark Lord
A "he'll-get-Borked" Dark Lord
A brash-filibustering-needing-Ghostbustering
Overboard Overlord

VOLDEMORT
A most intense Dark Lord
A common sense Dark Lord
A hail-good-fellow-yet-Machiavelli-vet
Hit-every-chord Dark Lord

HARRY
A dim and dumb Dark Lord
An immensely dense Dark Lord
A stand-there-and-gloat-at-you-missing-the-boat-on-cue
Over-the-top Dark Lord

VOLDEMORT
A Richard Three Dark Lord
An Iago-y Dark Lord
A Shakespearean-tragical-cutting-edge-magical
Byronic-y Dark Lord

VOLDEMORT (simultaneous with below)
Conceive me, if you can,
As much more than just a man
An eschatological-herpetological
Nietzschean Overman

HARRY (simultaneous with above)
Conceive him, if you can
As a Sauron also-ran
A pulp-fiction-villainy-hexin'-and-killin'-spree
"Bad guy" without a plan

VOLDEMORT and HARRY ostentatiously turn their backs on one another before exiting

A filk by Cassie to the tune of Pinky and the Brain

Enter HARRY and VOLDEMORT, just as OOP opens

HARRY (spoken)
So Voldemort, what do you want to do in this book?

VOLDEMORT (spoken)
Same thing I do in every book

HARRY (spoken sullenly)
Try to kill me and take over the world?

CHORUS (music)
Harry and Voldemort
Harry and Voldemort
One was a Slytherin,
The other Gryffindor.

Will their next battle end
With a Re-Incantatem?
They parry, they're Harry
And Voldemort-mort-mort-mort-mort-mort-mort-mort-mort……….

Before Book Five is done
New plots twists will unfurl.
By the ending of the book
Snape might get a girl!

They're Harry and Voldemort
Harry and Voldemort

VOLDEMORT
Say it with the "T", I'll Crucio you to the floor

CHORUS
To stop that ornery cuss
Takes more than Expelliarmus
They're wary, they're Harry
And Voldemort- mort-mort-mort-mort-mort-mort-mort-mort……….

RON (spoken)
Will you stop saying that name!

A filk by Willow to the tune of Build Me Up, Buttercup by the Foundations

Scene: A meeting of the Death Eaters in the Riddle House. They have just come back from another failed Harry Attack, and Voldemort lauches into song to berate them. He is joined and backed up by a set of dementorettes.

VOLDEMORT:
Why don't you capture him (capture him)
Hurry up now or he'll get away (get away)
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT
You just stupefy (stupefy)
Don't you ask why, I just need the boy (need the boy)
To bring me joy,
I need him! (He needs him!)
To get me my orb-thing,
So that I can finally know,
So capture him (capture him)
Hurry up now, don't let him go!

We won't fail you today,
You said as you went away from the door,
Of the old Riddle house,
But now you all see, can't get him without me anymore!
Why do I need you so? (hey hey hey)
Listen people, I'm tryin' to find (hey hey hey)
A way to kill him, so that I may rise (hey hey hey)
So don't stop now, KEEP FIGHTING UNTILL YOU COME THROUGH! (hoo-o-hoo, hoo-o-hoo)

Why don't you capture him (capture him)
Hurry up now or he'll get away (get away)
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT
you just stupefy (stupefy)
Don't you ask why, I just need the boy (need the boy)
To bring me joy.
I-I-I need hi-i-im! (He needs him!)
To get me my orb thing,
So that I can finally know,
So capture him (capture him)
Don't let him go-oo! (ooooo)

A filk by Pixieberry to the tune of The Night Before by The Beatles

HARRY:
Hallway in my mind
(ahh, Lord Voldemort)
Desperate to find
(ahh, Lord Voldemort)
Somewhere on this floor
One specific door
Stay out of my dreams, Lord Voldemort!

Evil you demise
(ahh, Lord Voldemort)
I could not surmise
(ahh, Lord Voldemort)
You were using me
To reach the prophecy
Stay out of my dreams, Lord Voldemort!

Snake bite was a fright
That still nearly makes me cry
When I saw Arthur attacked
I thought that he would die!

Now I'm in a scrape
(ahh, Lord Voldemort)
With Severus Snape
(ahh, Lord Voldemort)
Dumbledore's decree?
Learn Occlumency!
Stay out of my dreams, Lord Voldemort!

You were using me
To reach the prophecy
Stay out of my dreams, Lord Voldemort!

Snake bite was a fright
That still nearly makes me cry
When I saw Arthur attacked
I thought that he would die!

Hallway in my mind
(ahh, Lord Voldemort)
Desperate to find
(ahh, Lord Voldemort)
Somewhere on this floor
One specific door
Stay out of my dreams, Lord Voldemort!
Lord Voldemort!

A filk by Mariner to the tune of Voulez-vous by ABBA.

VOLDEMORT:
Wizards everywhere
Refuse to say my name, I've got 'em running scared.
When I raise my Mark,
They'll all be cowering before a Lord who's Dark.
I deal out death and pain to those who dare oppose my reign.
Don't get in my way!
I've got them terrified, a fact in which I take much pride.
I love to hear them say:

You-Know-Who! (Uh-huh)
That is what they call me (Uh-huh),
Once they know they score (Uh-huh),
They will not say Voldemort!
You-Know-Who! (Uh-huh)
My name makes them lose it! (Uh-huh)
They're a feeble crew! (Uh-huh)
Watch them whisper "You-Know-Who."

DUMBLEDORE:
It's a sorry state
When wizards are afraid to name the one they hate.
Giving in to fear
Won't make the object of your terror disappear.
It's really weak and lame, refusing to pronounce his name.
Say it good and loud!
Relentlessly I seek to end this euphemistic streak,
It can't be allowed!

You-Know-Who! (Uh-huh)
It's a silly habit (Uh-huh),
Which I do deplore. (Uh-huh)
Learn to call him Voldemort!
You-Know-Who! (Uh-huh!)
That's no way to name him! (Uh-huh)
I encourage you (Uh-huh)
To stop saying "You-Know-Who."

A filk by Randy Estes to the tune of White Christmas

The Scene: Voldemort sits by a quiet fire smoking his pipe and ponders his next move…..

VOLDEMORT:
I'm scheming how to smite Albus
Cause I'm a no good so and so
If Malfoy should miss him
Then I'll be listenin'
To hear
Snape deal him the blow.

I'm scheming how to smite Albus
With every evil plan I write
May his days be numbered tonight
And may all those kids of his feel fright

I'm scheming how to smite Albus
He never trusted me, you know
Said I was abusive
Somewhat elusive
Made me return things that I stole.

I'm scheming how to smite Albus
With him my plans never work right
May old Dumbledore die tonight
And may all those kids of his feel fright.

A filk by R.J. Lupin based on Honestly Sincere from Bye Bye Birdie

SCENE: Harry is trying to convince the Gryffindors to just say 'Voldemort' instead of 'You-Know-Who'. It doesn't go too well, though.

HARRY:
You gotta say 'Voldemort'
You gotta say his name
You gotta say it here
'Cause if you say it here
Well then you're gonna be free
Of fear

I say his name yes it's true, really say it
He, he says my name too, write this down now
You gotta say his name
Honestly say here
Man, you gotta say it here!

If you say 'Voldemort'
OK, its not gonna hurt
If you say it right here
Then you'll be free of fear
Oh baby!
Ooh honey!
Say it! (students scream in fear)
Voldemort! (students scream in fear louder)

In everything I do
I say 'Vold'mort' through and through
I look him in the eye, don't even have to try
It's automatic
I say his name

Any place it is the same
I'm gonna say his name
'Cause see here unlike you
I don't say 'You-Know-Who'
I mean I really say 'Voldemort'!

Oh, if you say 'Voldemort'
K, its not gonna hurt
If you say it right here
Then you'll be free of fear!
Oh baby!
Ooh honey!
Say it (students scream in fear)
Voldemort! (students scream in fear louder)

You gotta say his name
Oh, oh, oh
Or you'll have yourself to blame
Say it now, yeah
Ooooh, Voldemort
Oh, yeah
Ooooh, Voldemort
Oh yeah

Well ya gonna say his name, are you gonna say it clear?

STUDENTS:
No!

HARRY:
Well ya gonna say his name, are you gonna say it here?

STUDENTS:
No!

HARRY:
What?! You're gonna run away and be paralyzed in fear?!

STUDENTS:
Yeah!

HARRY:
Ooooh, my friends here
Ooooh, no
Ooooh, say 'Vold'mort'
There I go

Well ya gonna say his name
Because I'm gonna say his name

Ooooh, Voldemort
Oh, yeah
Ooooh, Voldemort
Oh, yeah
Oooh, Voldemort
Oh yeah
Oooh Voldemort
Oh yeah yeah
Yeah!

All of the students have fainted now, because Harry kept saying 'Voldemort'

A filk by weirdsis and Bandersnatch to the tune of On the Street Where You Live from Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady

LUNA:
We have often fought next to you before
Not for nothing is our Army named for Dumbledore
When you fight again
Call upon your friends

LUNA & NEVILLE:
We will help you defeat Voldemort

NEVILLE:
There are Death Eaters who won't let us be
They remember how we fought them at the Ministry
Let them all beware
They know we'll be there

LUNA & NEVILLE:
When you meet and defeat Voldemort

Protego spells will protect us
Our defense lessons shall not fail
Heliopaths will not affect us
For what is right and what is good surely prevails!

NEVILLE
People stop and stare. They think we're uncool
But you said since we fought next to you that we both rule
You're our leader now
And we know somehow

LUNA & NEVILLE:
In the end you'll defeat Voldemort!

A filk by SeverineSnape and Bandersnatch to the tune of No Such Thing by John Mayer

YouTube video of this filk here!

HARRY
"Welcome to your fate," Trelawney said to me
In her prophecy.
Him or me -- that's my life
All laid out in black and white.

But he said I was still free to choose my way,
Master of my fate.
My parents' love protecting me
As I face this enemy.

It's not easy, I know that it's right.
I'm walking into the arena with my head held high.

I'm gonna find and destroy every Horcrux.
You're gonna scream at the top of your lungs
When you find out there is something that can destroy you,
And it's nothing but the power of love.

So Hermione and Ron and I are going to fight back.
Follow your tracks,
Grab that locket and all the others.
Our future's unclear, but we've got one another.

I think of my parents as my path grows colder.
I wonder if they'd hoped for anything better.
Honor their memories.
No more tragedies.

It's not easy, I know that it's right.
I'm walking into the arena with my head held high.

I'm gonna find and destroy every Horcrux.
You're gonna scream at the top of your lungs
When you find out there is something that can destroy you,
And it's nothing but the power of love.

I am invincible.
I am invincible.
I am invincible
As long as I can love.

I'm gonna find and destroy every Horcrux.
You're gonna scream at the top of your lungs
When you find out there is something that can destroy you,
And it's nothing but the power of love.

It won't bring back Sirius or my parents,
It won't bring back Albus Dumbledore.
But when you stand once more mortal before me,
You will know that love has won the war.

To the tune of Aquarius, from Hair

Enter Chorus of Hogwarts students, faculty, sundry Hogsmeade residents, and Ministry officials. Enter, from opposite direction, Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black

CHORUS
When the Dark Lord fell from power
And became so faint and lame
He is not here to make us cower
But we're still too afraid to say his name

This may sound mental but
That V-Word is scaring us
It sounds so nefarious
It's scaring us!
Precarious!
Try sparing us!

HARRY, DUMBLEDORE, LUPIN, BLACK
If you bring yourselves to say it
Its spell upon you will disperse
If you have courage, then display it!
Do not fear his Cruciatus curse.

CHORUS
We're not quite the courageous sort
So we won't say the name of Volde - oops!

CHORUS
(simultaneously with below)
You almost had us, and
That V-Word's still scaring us
With a horror vicarious
It's impairing us!
It's not hilarious!
Stop daring us!

HARRY, DUMBLEDORE, LUPIN, BLACK
(simultaneously with above)
We almost had you, but
That V-Word's still scaring you
Because you lack derring-do
It's impairing you!
But we're preparing to
Vanquish You-Know-Who!

A filk by Florentine Maier to the tune of Like a Prayer by Madonna

HARRY:
Life is a mystery, I'm standing all alone
When I call him by his name, the other people groan

CHORUS (DUMBLEDORE, LUPIN, BLACK, MOODY & HERMIONE):
We call him by his name, to let the people know
We're not on our knees, we do not fear the foe.
We use the proper name, of Voldemort himself
Fears of the names increase fears of the things themself

HARRY:
I hear his voice, it's like a serpent spying
I have no choice, I hear his voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

CHORUS:
We call him by his name, to let the people know
We're not on our knees, we do not fear the foe.
In the midnight hour you can feel his power
But just clear your mind, no need to fear the foe.

HARRY:
Inside my head he's wispering softly to me
He's in control, I'm having visions
Of dark corridors
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
I'm there with him, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing

CHORUS:
We call him by his name, to let the people know
We're not on our knees, we do not fear the foe.
In the midnight hour you can feel his power
But just clear your mind, no need to fear the foe.

HARRY:
Just like live TV coverage, his mind can take me there
Just like a muse to me, it is a mystery
Just like a dream, things are not what they seem
He's just too strong, no choice his mind can take me there

He's just too strong, he can take me there
It's like a dream to me

A filk by Light Iniquity to the tune of Why Must the Show Go On? by Noel Coward

(For those unfamiliar with the original, it's a jaunty tune parodying show business.)

DUMBLEDORE
(speaking) Your quest for some years
Has been built on the fears
Of the cowardly Wizarding World;
Each day must you prey
On the wizards gone old and grey?
Just because you're mad
At your Muggle-ish dad
Must you act so completely disturbed?
There could be some things much more tedious
Than possessing wit, charm, skill and genius.
When I think of the Muggles
With all of their troubles
Who can't even cast a small spell,
When I think of how pointless
Are torture and curses
There's one thing I want you to tell:

(Singing) Why must you kill us all?
It isn't like it's something personal,
To murder children who are all in all
Innocent
All because you resent
Some fault of their great-great-grandparents

NEVILLE
It isn't quite fair
To give us a scare
For what we haven't done,
Because you declare
With grandiose air
"Revenge is not yet won!"

HERMIONE
I'd like to know why you still insist
On killing those with no way to resist
Maybe you're evil,
Or maybe you're just dull
To all us people,
Who've seen too many skulls
And when you're washed up,
Dried up,
And thoroughly skeletal,
Why must you kill us all?

SNAPE
Oh Voldie!

ALL
Why must you kill us all?

LUCIUS
Did you really expect
Your attacks to be met
With resounding applause from Dark Wizards?
When what you are asking
Precludes our plans for relaxing,
Though we swear fealty
As happens we really
Would rather stay home and kill lizards
And only, in heeding your calling
Avoid retribution appalling!

DRACO
And must you for starters
Wear guts for your garters
As if they were fashionably cruel?

CRABBE & GOYLE
It was once quite sufficient
To just be proficient
At cheating in 'fair' wizard's duels.

RON
Why must you kill us all?
You've got to see the odds are stacked against you,
You might be better off to pack a few
Bags and go
Somewhere where stress is low…

DRACO
Yes! I hear it's nice in Mexico!

POMFREY
You're tired, you dear,
I'm sorry to hear,
It didn't go as planned,
But won't you confess,
You do need a rest,
More than a conquered land?

RON
Because you're not being a fair sport,
By making us play 'Let's fight Lord Voldemort!'
Hats off to Dark Lords
Who won't give death a rest,
But more of us good folks,
Think Quidditch games are best,

PETTIGREW
And if your maw gapes,

LUPIN
Head aches

BLACK
And hair's slimier than Snape's,

ALL THREE
Why must you kill us all?

Ghosts of JAMES & LILY POTTER
We can't but wonder

ALL: Why must you kill us all?

HARRY
Why must you kill us all?
Why not just get redemption over with?
You know it's something you must deal with,
Dear, so why
Must you so often try
To kill us when we don't want to die?
We know that you're bad,
We know that you're mad
With anger, grief and pain,
But is it quite right
To go on in spite
Of everyone's complaints?
We know you're still filled with boiling rage,

McGONAGALL
But you're seventy, grow up and act your age!

HARRY
Stop being nasty
And wash off all the gore,
Forget your lackeys
There's always buckets more
And if you're still cross,
Your loss!
If murder's no help at all,

ALL
Why must you kill us all?

HARRY
I'm simply asking

ALL
Why must you kill us all!

A filk by Catherine McK to the tune of Don't Let's Be Beastly to the Germans by Noel Coward (still hilarious after 60 years)

THE SCENE: Voldemort has been defeated and time is moving on. Meanwhile, the elder Mr Crouch has been shunted sideways into the Department of International Magic Co-operation after finding that his hard-line attitudes are falling out of favour at the Ministry, where Cornelius Fudge and other interest groups advocate a somewhat different approach.

FUDGE:
Don't Let's Be Beastly to the D.E.s
Now that death's at last caught up with Voldemort.
Now we know we've got the ringleaders holed up in Azkaban,
And letting out the Lestranges, well, mistakes are made by man!
As for all the rest
The Wizarding world must do its best
On a quest for harmony to embark
They murdered and tortured our friends, we know,
With Avada Kedavra and Crucio
But don't let's be beastly to the Dark.

We must be fair
And with an open air
Promise that we'll give ev'ryone a trial.
All except of course the ones we know are guilty
There we'll lock the door and close the file
Excepting Black
We'll welcome the whole pack
And pat them on the back
And really show now they're not foe
We're ever so delighted and excited to embrace them
Those noble families, how on earth would we replace them?

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Don't let's be beastly to the D.E.s
We were only doing it for a lark.
That is, we've assured you we were under Imperius
So it's really Voldemort you've a quarrel with, not us.
Give us power again
We'll wait 'til it's our hour again
We can use cosmetics on the Mark!
Let us back in the Ministry
It's just the way to prove you're free
But don't let's be beastly to the Dark.

SNAPE and KARKAROFF:
We said we'd turn
But when the Dark Mark burns
That's when we'll choose if we will stay.
If You-Know-Who arise again we know we're done for
Then will we help Harry to save the day?
And so we grit
Our teeth and champ the bit
Because we could just spit
At fools who think that rules and children's schools
And gestures grand and heads-in-the-sand might ever serve us
We'd rather trust in cunning to preserve us.

FANS:
Don't let's be beastly to the D.E.s
(We make this plea without a trace of sarc-
Asm.) Each one of them's Dead Sexy, despite a moral lapse
Even their enemies would admit they're rather intriguing chaps.
Rookwood, Wilkes and Rosier,
Snape despite his greasy hair,
Who could be blind to the romantic spark?
Oh, give us Malfoy and Lestrange
Bring us Avery back again
But don't let's be beastly to the Dark!

A filk by Randy Estes to the tune of Mrs. Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel

Red Eye Randy wakes up from underneath the bar and staggers over to the Hogs Head jukebox once again. He puts his coin in and looks for another Sixties tune.....Aha! He says as he presses B-17....

And here's to you, Mrs. Riddle's son
Someday we'll just call you "You Know Who" (Woo, woo,woo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Potter's son
Heaven hopes you'll always get away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

We'd like to know a little bit about Tom for our files
We'd like to help Harry learn to help himself
Look around you, all you see are people who have died
Stroll around the Pensieve until you feel at home

And here's to you, Mrs. Riddle's son
Wizards hate you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Potter's son
Heaven hopes you'll always save the day
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your locket that your Mom sold
It's a little Horcrux, just a piece of Riddle's soul
Most of all, you've got to hide it from that kid

Well, You Know Who, Mrs Riddle's son
Harry hates you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Potter's son
Heaven hopes you'll put that guy away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Sitting in a Pensieve on a Sunday afternoon
Going off to Voldemort's old Cave
No one else can stop Voldemort
Harry, you've got to choose
Every way you look at it, you lose

Where have you gone, Albus Dumbledore
Our Hero turns his lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mrs. Potter's son
Snape killed him and then he ran away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

A filk by Jason LeBouef to the tune of Please, Mister, Please by Olivia Newton-John

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox
With the best of Potter filking old and new
You can hear your five selections for a Brass Knut
And somebody else's songs when yours are through

I got good ol fire whiskey on the counter
And my friends around to help me ease the pain
'Till some button pushin' wizard plays that filk song
And here I just ate U-No-Poo again

Please Rand' Estes
Don't play B17
It's an old song, it's a folk song
About Vollllldy

Please Rand' Estes
If you know what I mean
I don't ever hear bout V again.

Bah-da bah-da-Bad Guy
What a, What a-Bad Guy!
Tom Riddle is a Bad Guy
What a, What a-Bad Guy!

Voldy Morty, so bad to me
Voldy's comin' and he's eludin' the whole Ministry
Oh Voldy's comin', Voldy's comin' and you can guarantee
That Voldy's schemin' to finally bring an end to me!

Voldy, Morty, can't stand that guy
Voldy, Morty, has always been afraid to die.
Oh Voldy's comin'. I gave them a warnin', but no one listened to me!
Oh Voldy, Voldy, how could you kill Cedric Diggory!

Every other year, every other year
Every other year at the school was fine, yeah
But whenever Voldy comes, but whenever Voldy comes
A-you can find folks dyin' all of the time

Voldy, Voldy, so bad you see
Voldy's comin', always seeking immortality!
But Voldy's comin', and there's one thing I can guarantee
That Voldemort will one day have to fight with me.

Every other year, every other year
Every other year at the school was fine, yeah
But whenever Voldy comes, but whenever Voldy comes
A-you can find folks dyin' all of the time

Voldy Morty, can't stand that guy
Voldy, Voldy, he's always been afraid to die
Oh Voldy, Voldy, won't go away
Voldy, Morty, we'll' fight one day!
Oh Voldy, Voldy
Oh Voldy, Voldy

LUPIN:
Voldemort's plans will all fall!

A filk by Tracy Hunt to the tune of The Christmas Song

Sung by the newly discovered Hogwarts Choir:

Muggles roasting on an open fire
DE's cursing at your nose
Mudblood traitors being hung by a wire
and weaklings strung up by their toes

Everybody knows the Trio & the Order, too
Hope to make it a good fight
Mr. Fudge, with his wand all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

He know that Thingy's on his way
He's leaving lots of pain and sorrow in his wake
And every witch's child is gonna hide
With hope's that Dumbledore's really on their side

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To witches from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Watch your backside, tonight!

A filk by The Final Stillness of Saturn to Fallout Boy's Sugar We're Going Down

Set at the final battle with Voldemort

HARRY:
Is this more than you bargained for yet?
I've been waiting to do this for so long but can't quite cope
Cause that's just how it works, I guess.

HERMIONE:
More in the woods, waiting to get to take him.
We're just a blot on their kill list,
But he's at the front of the line.
(A blot on their kill list, but he's at the front of the line.)

GINNY:
Grab a wand. Cast a spell.
We're all here fighting and fighting the winning team.

FRED:
We may go down, down on the bloody war ground,
But, Ginny, we're going down swinging!

RON:
We'll be his mates 'til the end, I know it,
A team with skill they won't see 'til we show it.

HERMIONE:
We may go down, down on the bloody war ground,
But, Harry, we're going down swinging!

GINNY:
We'll come out with our heads up, I know it,
If a bit hurt and banged up from our foes hits.

SNAPE:
Is this more than you bargained for yet?
Oh, you know I've been watching you two fighting for years,
Knowing the day would come for a showdown.
Wish you'd just grow up now we're near dying here for him.

DRACO:
Yes, it's Potter that I detest,
But I just don't want to die here.
(Him that I detest, but I just don't want to die here.)

Grab a wand. Cast a spell.
We're all here fighting and fighting the winning team.

SNAPE:
We may go down, down on the bloody war ground,
But, Draco, we're going down swinging.
Stick with me, Draco, and we'll get through it,
This overblown blood contest, know we can do it.

NARCISSA:
We may go down, down on the bloody war ground,
But, Bella, we're going down swinging.

BELLATRIX:
We'll be the Dark Lord's top girls; we'll do it,
The Death Eaters he calls when it comes to it.

Down, down on the bloody war ground,
And Wormtail, you're going down swinging.

PETER:
I'll get away if I have to do it.
Become a rat and run if it comes to it.

FRED:
We may go down, down on the bloody war ground,
But, Ginny, we're going down swinging!

RON:
We'll be his mates 'til the end, I know it,
A team with skill they won't see 'til we show it.

ALL:
We may go down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We may go down, down (down, down)

SNAPE:
This overblown blood contest, know we can do it.

A filk by Jason LeBouef to the tune of Courtesy of Red White And Blue (The Angry American) by Toby Keith

This is sung from Harry's perspective about how he wants to get rid of Voldemort for killing his parents.

HARRY
Wizarding girls and wizarding guys
They'll always stand up and look up they'll always recognize
When they see an owl flying in the cool night air
Know that magic is around them and its power's everywhere

My daddy went to school at Hogwarts on a broom he did ride
He fought for wisdom, good and truth until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my family, my friends and me
To live without fear of the evil to be

Now my family that I love has fallen under attack
An evil wizard with a vengeance came from somewhere in the back
But when he tried to kill me, I just wouldn't die
And I lit up his world like the 4th of July

Dumbledore put your name at the top of his list
And the Ministry of Magic started shakin' their fists
And the owls will fly, and there's gonna be hell
When you hear Gryffindor ringing the Hogwarts bell

And you'll see that we just won't stop until you're good and dead
Brought to you courtesy of the Orange and Red

Justice will be served, the battle will rage
This wizard's gonna fight till he's old and gray
You'll be sorry that you messed with my parents that day
We'll put a wand up your butt, it's the Gryffindor way

Dumbledore put your name at the top of his list
And the Ministry of Magic started shakin' their fists

And the owls will fly, and there's gonna be hell
When you hear Gryffindor ringing the Hogwarts bell
And you'll see that we just won't stop until you're good and dead
Brought to you courtesy of the Orange and Red

Of the Orange and Red
Of my Orange and Red

ALL
We face a cruel unrelenting foe
And his worshippers of Death
But we shall be the means through which
They will draw their final breath.
For the Dark Lord shall not rise again!
And his epitaph will say:
"He fell before the brave at heart
Who follow Godric's way!"
