Mr Harry Potter, sir

In Songs

This song is really not serious. It was written by yours truly and her sisters (they kind of helped me with this 'I-just-can't-write' thing). For Harry Potter<3

Verse 1

Your circular glasses,
your lightning-shaped scar,
your wizarding classes,
the blue flying car.

Oh oh, oh oh


Verse 2

Your parents got killed
when you were just a baby
the wizards they willed
that you'd save them, maybe.

Oh oh, oh oh


Chorus


Mr Harry Potter, sir
I know you had a really tough life
but wasn't it worth it?
You had their world on your shoulders,
the girls at your feet
and you became a hero.
Mr Harry Potter, sir
I know you almost died
lots of times in your life
but isn't that the thrill
of being the Chosen one?
Mr Harry Potter, sir
please do stop complaining
'cause we all wish we'd been you.


Verse 3

Your Hogwarts entry letter
where ever did you put it?
Guess life got better
so you jumped right in it

Oh oh, oh oh

Verse 4


Your cool ginger friend
and the girl so nerdy
stayed with you til the end
(sorry about your birdie!)

Oh oh, oh oh


(Chorus)


Bridge


So I guess we'll be seeing you
in 19 years from now.
You'll still be the Boy Who Lived
only you'll look older.
Mr harry Potter, sir,
why not fix your eyesight?
Those glasses, I mean,
are getting a little ol'

Oh oh, oh oh


(Chorus)


End


Mr Harry Potter, sir
you had a wicked life,
and consider yourself lucky
for your kick-butt wife!

Hello, @Mikko! I am @emeraldfox, representing the Night Furies this review day!

I loved this song! There weren't any grammar, capitalization, punctuation, spelling, or formatting errors. I laughed a lot at this humorous take on the Harry Potter series. I only wish that you had talked about Ron and Hermione more. The two of them only got one line, and they were the most important people in his life for at least seven years. But other than that, you did a really great job and I loved reading this.

I don't know why but I imagined Rita Skeeter writing this, as if she was reporting on Harry's life and asking him questions (after being trapped in a jar and threatened by Hermione of course ;) ) You did a really nice job and this brightened my day! I enjoyed reading and reviewing it!

I'm a big fan of Harry Potter - or was, a few years back - so I have to say, this is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time However, the dialogue was forced - contrived, I think, is a better word; these characters do not speak as the characters in the novel do. I think you'd have a punchier piece by having the characters talk in mostly the same way, but just with more weird circumstances, such as that of Dumbledore asking for pizza delivery. Honestly, I've been laughing over this for quite some time now, and have only just recovered sufficiently to write something coherent - so well done! And it was so inventive, too; though 'artichokes' was a bit of a bad pun. I still grinned at it.

I love this! I feel like most of the stuff I write would be repeated from the lovely previous reviewers, but I just have to say I absolutely adore the creativity in this and the unique subject for a song. I can't say I've ever read a HP song on YWS, so bravo for taking my HP YWS lyrical virginity! ;)

I wish I could hear this with the tune and the music! I feel like it'd be extremely epic and fun.

It would have been pretty legit if you wrote a lyric for every book...though I think you cover most of the story quite well.

Keep writing! :)

<3 Sara.

I guess I'm, so far, the only who doesn't like this at all..lol. Oh well, I don't see it as being a big deal to you anyway. I haven't seen the last Harry Potter yet and to my understanding he's supposed to die, then someone told me that he doesnt' die he gets resurrected..what the hell? I wanted him to DIE and stay DEAD so no more books or movies will be made about him. Just comes to show you can't always get what you want..lol.

DIE HARRY POTTER DIE!!!

Haha, that part made me laugh. It's kind of a pointless poem, but it was fun to read. I love Harry Potter, so I couldn't resist reading this.

Loved the lyrics, great job!!! Continue creating songs, but next time add a little more rhythm and rhyme, which will make your Chorus a lot more interesting to read...

Chorus

Mr Harry Potter, sir
I know you had a really tough life
but wasn't it worth it?
You had their (the) world on your shoulders,
the girls at your feet
and you became a hero. (This does not really have anything to do with the stanza).

I've always thought the same thing! he's a wizard, why not rid of those silly glasses? haha but yeah, I think they suit his personality. He just wouldn't be potter without them! Keep writing, and keep on lovin' harry til the end. (:

Besides that, I absolutely loved it. Why can't YWS have a love button? :C
