Hogwarts is My Only Home (An 'Only Exception' Parody)

This is from Harry's point of view.....

When I was younger
I blew tons of stuff up
And turned hair blue
I talked to a snake
And I watched
As it strangled my cousin
And laughed again
And my aunt swore
That she would never let me be a freak
And that was the day that I promised myself
I'd never believe in magic
'Cause it doesn't exist

But you know….

Hogwarts is my only home
Hogwarts is my only home
Hogwarts is my only home
And Hogwarts is my only home

Maybe I know
Somewhere deep in my soul
That this isn’t real
And I’ll end up dying in the end
I’ll do it alone
But keep a straight face
And act like a hero, you know
Keeping my friends alive
And up until now
I know in my heart I’ve done a crappy job
To be honest
And all of it was completely worth the risk

Hogwarts is my only home
Hogwarts is my only home
Hogwarts is my only home
And Hogwarts is my only home

(Instrumental and drums)

I’ve got a tight grip on reality, but it’s hard
Because I’m a star, the only boy who lived
And I’ll go to school in the morning, when I wake up
I have all the proof that it’s not a dream
Ooh, Ooh….

Hogwarts is my only home
Hogwarts is my only home
Hogwarts is my only home
And Hogwarts is my only home
X2

And I’m on my way to believing
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing

I thought I would bash you because I love The Only Exception, but it being Harry Potter.. well, you're safe from the wrath of Hannahsaur. Sometimes the rhythm was off a little, but I think if you sang it right, it would work itself out. I like how you included events from the books in thee lyrics in a very clever way. All in all, I liked it.

Hey!
I liked this, I was laughing at some bits, like:

Maybe I know
Somewhere deep in my soul
That this isn’t real
And I’ll end up dying in the end
I’ll do it alone


I thought that it was really cool.
s for improvements, I think you should write where verse 1 starts when th chorus comes in ect. But seriously, really good stuff!

Funny parody, coming from a pretty big Paramore fan! Cute and accurate about the books!
I quoted my favorite verse because I can just imagine if the fictional Harry sang this, how much pride and ego he'd sing this verse with.

Hi!

I love this part, I started cracking up.

Because I’m a star, the only boy who lived


This part doesn't exactly match the syllables of the original song, it sounds a little off.

The rest of it is great though, it is hillarious.

Keep Writing,
