Song Writing

It's been a busy week! My kids are off school for the February Break (also known as ski week). We're not going anywhere because I'm student teaching and so there's no vacation fund. But we've been doing lots of fun things around home.

It doesn't take much to keep us entertained. We like blanket forts under the dining room table, card games, artistic baking, unique hair styling, etc. We also like watching funny videos on You Tube and singing the song parodies on MuggleNet. I even wrote my own Harry Potter song parody (with a little inspiration from the kids). I thought I'd post it here for your (?) enjoyment!

"Dumbledore’s Army”
To the tune of “Year 3000”
by Jonas Brothers


His first year at Hogwarts he was clueless
Harry didn’t know anything
There was a dark lord who was waiting
To rule everything
But Harry’s been learning and teaching
And his friends have been gathering

Harry and Dumbledore’s Army
Are like nothing you’ve ever seen
(yeah, yeah)

(Chorus)
You know of that wizard school Hogwarts
Everything’s changed now that You Know Who’s come back
But that great, great, great wizard Harry
Is doing fine. (Is doing fine.)

Hermione’s got gumption, and Luna
Has got personality
Colin’s got his camera, and Ginny
Has got tenacity
Neville has Trevor, and Ron, well
Ron’s got loyalty

Harry and Dumbledore’s Army
Are like nothing you’ve ever seen
(yeah, yeah)

(Chorus)
You know of that wizard school Hogwarts
Everything’s changed now that You Know Who’s come back
But that great, great, great wizard Harry
Is doing fine. (Is doing fine.)

(Bridge)
It doesn’t matter what Voldemort tries
They will beat him and his followers
Horcruxes, spells, and jinxes won’t get them
They’ll diffindo till the end, oh
No green lights for this young army
They will all end up victorious
They’ll diffindo till the end, oh, till the end, oh, till the end, oh

Harry and Dumbledore’s Army
Are like nothing you’ve ever seen
(yeah, yeah)

(Chorus)
You know of that wizard school Hogwarts
Everything’s changed now that You Know Who’s come back
But that great, great, great wizard Harry
Is doing fine. (Is doing fine.)

(ps - we submitted this to MuggleNet but we never heard back!)

To bad I haven't had enough time to watch Disney channel lately because I don't know that tune (I guess I will just have to look it up). I do have to say that the words are great. Our fam has a habit of changing words to songs for our own entertainment! (Anyone remember SPAM?)

I don't remember SPAM. Was that after I left home?
