Right, so I've been listening to "Harry Potter the Musical," the production put on at University of Michigan earlier this year whose http://www.youtube.com/user/StarKidPotter was recently advertised on Leaky. I find the songs catchy and clever, and I'd like to be able to sing along. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to figure out the lyrics from the videos. As I suspect that others here are in the same situation, I was wondering if folks would like to help me figure out the lyrics and record them here.
The songs were written by Darren Criss (who plays Harry Potter) and A.J. Holmes (who plays the piano). If these people happen to be here (hello!), or if someone knows how to reach them (MySpace/Facebook/Twitter? I am totally clueless with social networking sites), and if they would be willing to provide the lyrics (perhaps they've already done so somewhere?), then of course that would be best and easiest. If anyone has any information about how to obtain the official lyrics, please post here and let us know! In the meantime, though -- let's see what we can figure out by listening to the videos.
Just to narrow things down, I'm thinking of only tackling the songs, not the spoken dialogue (although short stretches of dialogue in the middle of a song might be a grey area). If you're not sure what the actors in the videos are singing, take your best guess, then put those words in square brackets and put a question mark after them, like so:
Good work Bandersnatch! I fixed the couple parts you were unsure of:
HERMIONE:
I may be frumpy
But I'm super smart
Check out my grades:
They're A's for a start.
What I lack in looks,
Well I make up in heart
And, well guys, yeah that's totally awesome.
This year I plan
To study a lot.
RON:
That would be cool
If you were actually hot.
HARRY:
Hey Ron, [lay off](?)
It's okay that she's not
RON:
And that's cool.
HERMIONE:
And that's totally awesome
...
skipping ahead
TRIO:
We gotta get back to Hogwarts.
We gotta get back to school.
We gotta get back to Hogwarts
Where everything is [magical or magic, cool](?)
(For all intents and purposes they sound exactly the same so this is probably one that we'd need a cast member to solve)
...
skipping down to Dumbledore's part he says: Welcome hotties, nerds and tools
Also, it wasn't in the brackets but I'm pretty sure that Dumbledore says "I'm sorry, what'd you say?" not "I'm sorry, what's in a name?"
I can't figure out this song... It's bugging me..
"It's Time to Dance Again"
Act 1 Part 13 (3:57-7:44)
Voldemort:
When I was a boy
An orphan boy
I'd love to move my feet
I'd hear a tune
And start to swoon
My life would seem complete
The other boys would laugh and cheer
But I'd [catch them tapping their toes] (?)
And when I'd start to sway
They'd get carried away
And oh, how the feeling [grows] (?)
(pre-chorus)
I'd take my foot
My little foot
And with that foot
Oh how I'd start to [???]
I'd take two feet
Two tiny feet
hey look!
That's neat
It's coming [??]
Oh boy I get to dance again
Woohoo!
(chorus)
To dance again
I've been waiting all these years
To dance again
Now at once a chance appears
To hear the beat
So on your feet
It's time to dance again
Come on Potter! Imperio!
You take your foot
Your little foot
Hey look! Your foot
See how it starts to [???]
Quirrel:
[I'll train his arms!]
[something something twirl]
He's like a girl!
[something]
I get to finally dance again with you
Quirrel and Voldemort:
To Dance again
I've been waiting all these years
To Dance again
Now at once a chance appears
This lovely swaying
The music's playing
Come on
Let's dance again
Voldemort: Everybody!
Death Eaters: (pre-chorus)
Voldemort:
Everybody make way
For a pas de bourree
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
Again
I don't know about you guys but I love the original Potter Puppet Pals. The mysterious ticking noise was so much fun. But I'm kinda getting mad at the direction it's going. It's less funny and more stupid. The animated series are really where it's going wrong. I say
Bring the live puppets back!
Thanks, acciosirius! I think you're spot-on with all of your additions; good ears during Hermione's bit! I suspect that the Trio is singing, "Where everything is magical" but distorting the last syllable so that it comes out "cool"; hence "magic-coool," like you said. And I'll go with "what'd you say" over "what's its name" for Dumbledore's bit. I will edit my original post to include your additions. Thanks for the help!
********
spock, I have trouble hearing stuff in "To Dance Again," too, but I think I've made some headway. Hopefully others can either confirm what I think I hear, or fill in the remaining blanks.

[Starting from Voldemort's second stanza:]
The other boys would laugh and jeer
But I'd catch 'em tapping their toes
And when I'd start to sway
They'd get carried away
And oh, how the feeling grows
I'd take my foot
My little foot
And with that foot
Oh how I'd start to [shake](?)
[I think it must be "shake" - at 6:44, when everyone is dancing, you can see that they all shake their foot for a beat after kicking it back and forth.]
I'd take two feet
Two tiny feet
Hey look! That's neat
It's coming [true](?)
Oh boy I get to dance again
Woohoo!
[The verse where Harry is Imperio'd:]
You take your foot
Your little foot
Hey look! Your foot
See how it starts to [shake](?)
QUIRRELL:
[Ooo, try his arms!](?)
[How 'bout](?) a twirl
He's like a girl!
[How overdue](?)
I get to finally dance again with you
[During V and Q's chorus:]
It's lovely swaying
And the music's playing
[The final pre-chorus and chorus -- second stanza especially needs work]
DEATH EATERS (VOLDEMORT):
I take my foot (You take your foot!)
My little foot (Take that little foot!)
And oh, my foot (Let me hear it in the house!)
See how it starts to [shake](?)
[Oh Voldie's back](?) (Hello world!)
[ ](?) (I'm gonna getcha!)
[ ](?)
But this is something he's gotta do
VOLDEMORT AND DEATH EATERS:
I'll dance again
I've been waiting all these years
To dance again
Now at once a chance appears
Everybody make way
VOLDEMORT:
For a pas de bourrée
VOLDEMORT AND DEATH EATERS:
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
Again
You're welcome Bandersnatch! And I actually went back and listened to the Dumbledore bit again and think you might have been right so it's your call!
I've been dying to write out the Ginny/Cho Chang song because for some reason it is my favorite
so here it is (like anyone can't figure out these lyrics haha):
Ginny (Act 1 Part 6)
HARRY:
You're tall and fun and pretty
You're really, really skinny
Ginny
I'm the Mickey to your Minnie
You're the Tigger to my Winnie
Ginny
I want to take you to the city
Gonna take you out to dinny
Ginny
You're cuter than a guinea pig
Want to take you up to Winnipeg
That's in Canada!
Cho (Act 1 Part 10)
HARRY:
You're tall and fun and pretty
You're really, really skinny
Cho Chang
Wanna take you to the city
Get all up in them
Cho Chang
You're the Mickey to my Minnie
I'm the Tigger to your Winnie
Cho Chang
You're cuter than a guinea pig
I'll take you up to Winnipeg
That's in Canada!
I also love "Not Alone" (Act 2 Part 5) because it's beautiful and hilarious at the same time.
GINNY:
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
And I've seen how heartless
The world can be.
And I've seen you cry
And felt like it's hopeless
But I'll always do my best
To make you see
Cuz Harry you're not alone
Cuz you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cuz nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need
To make it through
Now I know it ain't easy
HARRY:
Know it ain't easy
GINNY:
But it ain't hard trying
HARRY:
It's so hard trying
GINNY:
Every time I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me
Tell me
BOTH:
Cuz baby you're not alone
Cuz you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cuz nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
HARRY:
Well, I still have trouble!
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is the look in your eyes
And I realize
RON: (spoken) Hey Harry! [Rad or a barf noise](?)
ALL:
Baby you're not alone
Cuz you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Cuuuuuuz nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
HARRY:
(spoken) Guys I'm so glad you came back. I'm sorry I shouted.
(sung) Cuz it don't matter what'll come to be
ALL:
Our love is all we need
RON:
To maaake
HERMOINE:
To maaake
GINNY:
To maaake
HARRY:
To maaake it
ALL:
Through-ooooo
Bahaha that was funny to write that ending...
EDITED: To fix a couple little parts.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to transcribe the lyrics!!
this is an awesome list, but just to pooint something out, in the very first song (Going Back to Hogwarts) after Ron's 'that would be cool if you were actually hot' this is waht Harry says:
HARRY
hey Ron, lay off
She's fine with what she's got
and that's cool
HERMIONE
and that's totally awesome
also, i did Voldie and Quirrel's song. i need some help towards the end, though.
“Different as Can Be”
Q:
You won’t sleep on your tummy
V:
You won’t sleep on your back
BOTH:
We’re quite a kooky couple
You’ll agree
Q:
We share some hands and fingers
V:
And yet the feeling lingers
BOTH:
We’re just about as different
As anyone can be
V:
You like plotting a garden
And I like plotting to kill
Q:
You think that you should rule the world
I think books are a thrill
Sipping tea by the fire is swell
V:
Pushing people in is fun as well
I like folding all of my ties
Q:
And you have no friends, hey, that’s a surprise
BOTH:
It is plain to see
When you look at you and me
We’re different, different as can be
V:
You’re a sissy
A ----
A girl
And I’m the darkest of lords
Q:
I’m the brightest Professor here
I’ve won several awards
V:
My new world’s
About to unfold
Q:
You got beat
By a two year old
V:
I’ll kill him this time
Through and through
Q:
Or you might just give him
Another tattoo
BOTH:
Then you must agree
When you look at you and me
We’re different, different as can-
V:
I’ll rise again
And I’ll rule the world
But you must help me renew
For when our plan succeeds
Q:
Prevails!
V:
Part of that world goes to you
Q:
When I rule the world
I’ll plant flowers
V:
When I rule the world
I’ll have snakes
Q:................................................V:
Floweeeeeeeeeeerrrrsss(?)...............?????
BOTH:
When I rule the world
i'm also working on a full compiliation of all songs, using what i've got form you guys and from another source who sent all of what she thought were teh act one lyrics to me, and my own listenings. so far, all i have left to type out are "Missing You" "Not Alone" (which s up here, i know, i just have to put it on my list) and "Voldemort is Going Down."
NOTE: See NEWS FLASH at the bottom of this post -- official lyrics for "Going Back to Hogwarts" now on YouTube.

acciosirius:
Re: "Going Back to Hogwarts"
So should we keep going with the lyrics or just wait and see if the youtube pages get updated? I vote we keep going because the lyrics on the first two are a little messy but good for clearing up the parts where we were confused. And Bandersnatch it's funny that we both went back and listened for the other's words! I'll go back and edit the part in "Not Alone" to say "I'll" since you agree
Back to "Different as Can Be", I can't make a major dent in the lyrics but here's what I hear:
QUIRRELL: and Jane Austen novelllls!
VOLDEMORT:
And [no idea lol]
A fleet of dementors
And giants and thestrals
And all my Death Eaters!!
....
"Hey Dragon" (Act 1 Part 9)
HARRY:
Hey Dragon, we don't gotta do this
Let's reevaluate our options
Put away our old assumptions
Cuz really, we don't gotta go through this
I'm really not that special
The boy who lived is only flesh and bone
Truth is in the end
I'm pretty useless without friends
In fact, I'm alone
I spend my time at school
Trying to be this cool guy
I never even asked for
I don't know any spells
I still manage to do well
But there's only so long that can last for
I'm living off the glory
Of a stupid children's story
That I had nothing to do with
I just sat there and got lucky
So level with me buddy -
I can't defeat thee
So please don't eat me
And all I can do
Is sing a song for you
Lalalalala
DRAGON:
Rarararara
HARRY:
Lalalalala
DRAGON:
Rarararara
HARRY:
Lalalalala
DRAGON:
Rarararara
BOTH:
Lalalala
HARRY:
You never asked to be a dragon
I never asked to be a champion
We both just jumped on this bandwagon
All we need is guitar jamming
REPEAT of La's and Ra's
(spoken) Good night Dragon!
....
"Voldemort is Going Down" (Act 2 Part 8)
RON:
He thinks that we're finished
He thinks that we're done
He thinks that it's over
His battle is won - HA!
He thinks that we're finished
No, but we aren't through
Stop and think my friends:
What would Harry do for you?
HERMIONE:
Never gave up the fight
Harry stood up for what is right
Well now it's our turn
BOTH:
Our turn
Make a joyful sound
Voldemort is going down!
RON:
(spoken) Hyah! Come on, get in a line!
R, H, G:
We must unite
So we can fight!
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Voldemort is going down!
HERMIONE:
Can't you feel a fire burning
Now it's time to be a man
A great big, muscley, super big, super hot man!
RON:
Ahhh!
ALL:
We won't be pushed around anymore
We'll be a force you cannot ignore
We'll be an army for Dumbledore
For Dumbledore!
We must unite
So we can fight!
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Voldemort is going down!
HARRY:
(spoken) Guys I'm alive! I'm back, guys I know how to defeat Voldemort! Everybody follow me okay!
ALL:
We must unite
So we can fight!
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Voldemort is going...
We must unite
So we can fight
Voldemort is going down!
Yeah!

Going Back to Hogwarts
HARRY:
Underneath these stairs
I hear the sneers and feel the glares
Of my cousin, my uncle and my aunt.
Can't believe how cruel they are,
And it stings my lightning scar
To know they'll never, ever give me what I want.
I know I don't deserve these
Stupid rules made by the Dursleys
Here on Privet Drive.
I can't take all of these Muggles,
But despite all of my struggles
I'm still alive.
I'm sick of summer
And this waiting around.
Man, it's September
And I'm skipping this town.
Hey, it's no mystery.
There's nothing here for me now.
I gotta get back to Hogwarts.
I gotta get back to school.
I gotta get myself to Hogwarts
Where everybody knows I'm cool.
Back to witches and wizards
And magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts
And to magical feasts.
It's all that I love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.
I think I'm going back.
I'll see my friends,
Gonna laugh till we cry.
Take my Firebolt,
Gonna take to the sky.
No way this year
Anyone's gonna die!
And it's gonna be totally awesome.
I'll cast some spells
With a flick of my wand.
Defeat the Dark Arts,
Yeah, bring it on!
And do it all
With my best friend Ron,
'Cause together we're totally awesome.
RON:
Yeah, it's gonna be totally awesome!
...
RON:
It's been so long,
But we're going back.
Don't go for work,
Don't go there for class.
HARRY:
As long as we're together
BOTH:
Gonna kick some a**
And it's gonna be totally awesome.
This year we'll take
Everybody by storm.
Stay up all night,
Sneak out of our dorm.
HERMIONE:
Well, let's not forget
That we need to perform well in class
If we want to pass our OWLs.
...
HERMIONE:
I may be frumpy
But I'm super-smart.
Check out my grades:
They're A's for a start.
What I lack in looks,
Well, I make up in heart,
And well guys, yeah that's totally awesome.
This year I plan
To study a lot.
RON:
That would be cool
If you were actually hot.
HARRY:
Hey Ron, come on
We're the only friends she's got
And that's cool
HERMIONE:
And that's totally awesome.
TRIO:
Yeah, it's so cool
And it's totally awesome.
We're sick of summer
And this waiting around.
It's like we're sitting
In the Lost and Found.
Don't take no sorcery
For anyone to see how
We gotta get back to Hogwarts.
We gotta get back to school.
We gotta get back to Hogwarts
Where everything is magic-coool
STUDENTS:
Back to witches and wizards
And magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts
And to magical feasts.
It's all that I love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts, Hogwarts.
TRIO:
I think we're going back.
...
CHO, PANSY, AND LAVENDER:

Domo arigato,
Cho Chang,
Gung hey fat choy Chang.
Happy, happy New Year.
Cho Chang.
...
CEDRIC:
Cho Chang,
I am so in love with
Cho Chang.
From Bangkok to
Ding Dang
I sing my love aloud
For Cho Chang...
...
DRACO:
This year, you bet,
Gonna get out of here.
The reign of Malfoy
Is drawing near.
I'll have the greatest
Wizard career.
It's gonna be totally awesome.
Look out world,
For the dawn of the day
When everyone will do
Whatever I say.
And Potter won't be in my way.
And then I'll be the one who is totally awesome.
GOYLE:
Yeah, you'll be the one who is totally awesome.
...
STUDENTS:
Who knows how fast
This year's gonna go?
Hand me a glass,
Let the butterbeer flow.
HARRY:
Maybe at last
I'll talk to Cho.
RON:
Oh no, that would be too awesome!
STUDENTS:
We're back to learn
Everything that we can.
It's great to come back
To where we began.
And here we are.
And alakazam!
Here we go, this is totally awesome.
Come on and teach us
Everything you know.
The summer's over
And we're itching to go.
NEVILLE:
I think we're ready for
Albus Dumbledore!
STUDENTS:
Aaaahh...
DUMBLEDORE:
Welcooooooooome
All of you to Hogwarts.
I welcome all of you to school.
Did you know that here at Hogwarts,
We've got a hidden swimming pool?
Welcome, welcome, welcome Hogwarts.
Welcome hotties, nerds, and tools.
Now that I've got you here at Hogwarts,
I'd like to go over just a couple of rules.
...
STUDENTS:
Back to witches and wizards
And magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts

STUDENTS:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts.

Granger Danger
RON:
Here I am, face to face
With a situation
I never thought I'd ever see.
Strange -- how a dress
Could take a mess
And make her nothing less than
Beautiful to me
It seems like my eyes have been Transfigured
Something deep inside has changed
They've been opened wide, but hold that trigger
This could mean
Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr
I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I think I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger
DRACO:
What? What the hell is this?
Do you expect me to sing about her?
I don't care about her
It's just a little makeup
Draco, wake up
I'm mistaken
She is the hottest girl I've ever seen
Now because she's like a girl I've never seen
Don't know why I'd ever be so mean
This could mean
Daaaangeeeeeerrrrrr
I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love

To Dance Again
VOLDEMORT:
When I was a boy
An orphan boy
I'd love to move my feet
I'd hear a tune
And start to swoon
My life would seem complete
The other boys would laugh and jeer
But I'd catch 'em tapping their toes
And when I'd start to sway
They'd get carried away
And oh, how the feeling grows
I'd take my foot
My little foot
And with that foot
Oh how I'd start to shake
I'd take two feet
Two tiny feet
Hey look! That's neat
It's coming true
Oh boy I get to dance again
Woohoo!
To dance again
I've been waiting all these years to
Dance again
Now at once a chance appears to
Hear the beat
So on your feet
It's time to dance again
You take your foot
Your little foot
Hey look! Your foot
See how it starts to shake
QUIRREL:
Ooo, try his arms!
How 'bout a twirl
He's like a girl!
How overdue
I get to finally dance again with you
To dance again
I've been waiting all these years to
Dance again
Now at once a chance appears to
It's lovely swaying
And the music's playing
Come on and dance again
DEATH EATERS (VOLDEMORT):
I take my foot (You take your foot!)
My little foot (Take that little foot!)
And oh, my foot (Let me hear it in the house!)
See how it starts to shake
DEATH EATERS (VOLDEMORT)
Voldemort is back ( hello world)
And that's a fact (I'm gonna get cha)
Take over that world with you
But first there's something he gotta do
ALL:
I'll dance again
I've been waiting all these years
To dance again
Now at once a chance appears
Everybody make way
Voldemort:
For a pas de bourrée
ALL:
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
Again
Missing You
I don't have this song yet!
Not Alone
GINNY:
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
And I've seen how heartless
The world can be.
And I've seen you cry
And felt like it's hopeless
But I'll always do my best
To make you see
Cause Harry you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cause nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need
To make it through
Now I know it ain't easy
HARRY:
Know it ain't easy
GINNY:
But it ain't hard trying
HARRY:
It's so hard trying
GINNY:
Every time I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me
Tell me
BOTH:
Cause baby you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down cause nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
HARRY:
Well, I still have trouble!
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is the look in your eyes
And I realize
RON: (spoken) Hey Harry! Rad
ALL:
Baby you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Caaauuuussee nothing
Can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
HARRY:

Voldemort is Going Down
RON:
He thinks that we're finished
He thinks that we're done
He thinks that it's over
His battle is won - HA!
He thinks that we're finished
No, but we aren't through
Stop and think my friends:
What would Harry do for you?
HERMIONE:
Never gave up the fight
Harry stood up for what is right
Well now it's our turn
BOTH:
Our turn
Make a joyful sound
Voldemort is going down!
RON:
(spoken) Hyah! Come on, get in a line!
BOTH:
We must unite
So we can fight!
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Voldemort is going down!
HERMIONE:
Can't you feel [a/the](?) fire burning
Now it's time to be a man
A great big, muscley, super big, super hot man!
RON:
Ahhh!
ALL:
We won't be pushed around anymore
We'll be a force you cannot ignore
We'll be an army for Dumbledore
For Dumbledore!
We must unite
So we can fight!
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Voldemort is going down!
HARRY:
(spoken) Guys I'm alive! I'm back, guys I know how to defeat Voldemort! Everybody follow me okay!
ALL:
We must unite
So we can fight!
Turn the battle around
Time's running out
It's time to shout
Voldemort is going...
We must unite
So we can fight
Voldemort is going down!
Yeah!
Here's "Missing You." Then I'll take a closer look at your most recent posts, acciosirius and Swish_and_Flick.
"Missing You"
Written by AJ Holmes
HARRY:
I can't remember Dad
And I can't remember Mum
Aunts and uncles aren't quite the same
But I had him
And life seemed fair
Yes I had him
He was there
To give me strength
Show concern
Ask for nothing in return
Say hello
Talk me through
Do the things that fathers should do
And I'm missing you
I'm just missing you
QUIRRELL:
So there it is, he's gone
And he's hung me out to dry
The joy he said he felt
Well I guess it was a lie
When I had him
My life was fine
When I had him
He was mine
He'd share his thoughts
Be a friend
Stick with me until the end
Watch a movie
Roller-skate
Fill the world with fear and hate
BOTH:
And I'm missing you
I'm just missing you
Now I'm all alone
Now you're gone for good
Now I'm stuck right here
Wishing I understood
HARRY:
You gave me hope when my spells weren't right
QUIRRELL:
You gave me someone to hold every night
And I'm missing you
HARRY:
I'm just missing you
QUIRRELL:
And I'm missing you
HARRY:
I'm just missing you

Re: "Different as Can Be"
"And all my Death Eaters" -- Yup, I'll go with that. Looks like we'll need the official version to figure out the rest of Voldemort's list; maybe it will come up in the YouTube sidebar.
Re: "Hey Dragon"
I agree it's "I never even asked for," and I think it must be "I can't defeat thee."
Re: "Voldemort is Going Down"
After Ron's "Hyah! Come on, get in a line," the chorus is sung by Ginny as well as Ron and Hermione. And I hear Hermione sing "a fire burning" to Draco.

Swish_and_Flick
Great job with the compilation! I posted "Missing You" above, so do we have everything now? Awesome.
Re: "Going Back to Hogwarts"
The official version in the YouTube sidebar says that Harry's first chorus ends "At Hogwarts, Hogwarts. I think I'm going back"; and likewise at the end of the second chorus, the Trio sings "At Hogwarts, Hogwarts. I think we're going back." After reading that, I went back and listened, and I think I can (barely) hear those "I think"s as well as see mouths moving at those points. Please check and see if I'm going crazy (always possible!).
Also, after Harry's line "Hey Ron, come on, we're the only friends she's got," the following "And that's cool" is sung by Ron, I think.
Re: "Different as Can Be (Reprise)"
I agree it's probably "We'll lead him [Harry] to the slaughter" rather than "lead 'em," so I think you can remove your question mark there.
Re: "Hey Dragon"
Your version differs from accio_sirius's above, so the two of you should figure out how to put it together.
Re: "Granger Danger"
I see that during the counterpoint in the final verse, you posit that Draco perhaps sings "It's Granger, wake up" instead of "Draco, wake up." I can hear where you're coming from. (It kind of sounds like he says "Rachel, wake up," but who the heck is Rachel?) I chose "Draco, wake up" in my original post because it's what Draco sang during his first verse, but it is unclear; maybe others can say what they hear.
Re: "To Dance Again"
Just before the final kick-line, I wonder if the Death Eaters are maybe singing "We're gonna take over the world with you / But first there's something we've gotta do."
Re: "Voldemort is Going Down"
See my notes to acciosirius above.

Terrific job, everyone! Thanks to all who have contributed -- acciosirius, Swish_and_Flick, and spock. Looks like we have a few minor wrinkles to iron out, and then perhaps Swish_and_Flick can edit the post above to make it our final version. (And if the rest of the lyrics end up getting posted to the YouTube sidebars, then we can compare with them.)
The soundtrack is online and it is easier to hear from that. They made an actual soundtrack so it must be available to buy somewhere but until we can you can download it here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MQ96OT01
thanks for the notes Bandersnatch. i'll edit them later, gotta run!
EDIT//
OMG GREENFIRE YOU ARE MY HERO!!! THIS IS AWESOME!
i've listened to most of the songs adn changed my lyrics, particularily Different As Can Be. it is 'Jane Austen novelllllllssss' and Voldies lines are all very clear, too. i changed them.
Thanks for the link, greenfire!
I never normally watch trailers and interviews for the films on youtube, but I never normally watch other videos or spoofs but when I get home later im gunna watch some they sound really good, cant do it now though im stuck at school T.T
Hi everyone ![]()
After careful deliberation, the moderators of the Pensieve Parlor have decided to split off the discussions about lyrics for Harry Potter the musical from the http://www.leakylounge.com/Tube-and-Harry-Potter-t44652.html since the discussions have been so active and we thought they deserved their own thread
The ideas and propositions about lyrics are wonderful. Many thanks to Bandersnatch and to all of you for posting ![]()
I'll just kindly ask, when posting your lyrics or ideas for lyrics to tell us where your ideas came from, and why they would make for great lyrics in an HP musical since the purpose of the threads in the Parlor and across the forums is to generate discussions ![]()
If you have any questions, please feel free to PM a moderator.
Thanks and happy posting ![]()

Thanks lirene! I'll start the new discussion off by asking everyone a couple of questions about the recent "Harry Potter the Musical" on youtube:
a) what do you think about the fact that the musical has been taken down temporarily
b) what do you think will happen with it
c) what should it's new title be (the discussion has been raging on their youtube page)
I'll go first: obviously I'm sad its been taken down but it makes me extra thankful for that link greenfire and for all of the lyrics here! I'm not sure how the musical will reappear on youtube, but all of their talks about "tweaks" makes me nervous...I'm just trying to stay positive and hope that any changes will be for the better! As for the title, I seriously love whoever came up with "The Musical That Must Not be Named".
Not a question that I want everyone's opinion on, but I don't know very much about copyright issues and things like that so would someone who does know enlighten me as to how serious of an infringement the musical was in the first place? I don't understand how some things slip through the cracks...maybe just when they're not as popular?
vids were reposted a littl ewhile ago! just thought i'd shout that out!
Hello everybody
!!!! I from Russia and I think that "a very Potter musical" - TOTALLY AWESOME
. But I can not understand what talked in some dialogs. If U can, please write dialogs of heroes
