  • I found this, and it makes me want to cry (in a good way). Seriously, this is like a summary of my childhood. Actually, I kind of am experiencing this now too (I'm in highschool...the land of broken dreams). Thanks for sharing something beautiful and just amazing. :)

  • I just teared up because it's just so true. I am lucky to have friends who take Harry Potter as seriously as I do, but we often do get weird looks or sneers from other people. But I am proud to be part of this. I wear my Ravenclaw uniform with all the pride I can possible have. I'll join the Muggles when hell freezes over.

  • Gosh. Lauren I've been watching you for years.. between your personal channel and fiveawesomegirls and everything else and I love your music.. but this literally made me cry and it's amazing <3 Thanks so much for sharing.

  • For years I've been trying to explain to people just exactly why I love this series so much, but I could never really put it into words. Thanks for doing it for me =]

  • 16 muggles watched this.

  • People look at me weird because I literally breathe HP, it's banned from my house but I don't care I just sell my stuff to try and get enough money to buy the books and one day I'll have everything from the series, so thanks for writing this song, it's awesome to know other people believe in it

  • in your songs we can really find ourselves <3 I love the songs and I love that Slytherin boy too..

  • I love the hole song & the video, it's just amazing. Thank you it really gives hope to you that you're not alone, that there are other people that are still waiting for the Hogwarts letter & still hoping to find a place in what they can fit. It really expresses my feeling fantastic work :)

  • :') thank you.

  • I've been trying to think of something to say on this comment that hasn't already been said by anyone else, to tell you how much I love this song and how it much it means to me...but all of that has been said before, but I'm glad that so many other people find this as meaningful as I do and it reminds how many of us there are and how seven books can change so many lives. x

  • @Theladyinthevan So true. Thank you so much for listening!

  • This is my anthem. I just found you today and you are amazing. i love this. (=

  • @SarahSnapeAlways Thank you! I'm so glad you like it. :)

  • @SarahSnapeAlways "This Is It" from the same album, The Prince's Tale.

  • @devilishlypure Thank you! Do you have that song on your channel?

  • @devilishlypure I am totally in love with you (No homo) and your songs! :D You are one of my favorite wrock bands. I am actually thinking of making one! :D

  • @devilishlypure Hehe. (=

  • This is an ANTHEM for every one of us who is still waiting for their letter to Hogwarts, for every one of us who still believes in magic, and for every one of us who will keep Harry Potter in their hearts for years to come.

  • What are the chords?

  • @grouch314 They're on my website. Links are on my channel page!

  • @devilishlypure Thanks, I found them just after I posted that.

  • I really really LOVE this song, think it's your best one and my mood switches into positive everytime I hear it ♥ ! The video is also awesome ! Don't stop ever making music, yeah? ;) Thanks for this song !!

  • yea damn the dirty mudbloods ---- no im joking

  • This is my favorite song off all of your albums Lauren! My mom wants to get me the Prince's Tale for Christmas.

  • @ilurvsharrypotter

    I was chosen to do that too I guess. I think all Harry potter geeks are :D

  • I'm rereading Deathly Hallows, and I was unable to read the first half of The Prince's Tale without listening to this on repeat in the background. Best song ever. <3

  • This is an AMAZING proclamation to all Harry Potter fans across the WORLD! You inspire me, Lauren. Thank you. :) LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER!!!!!

  • My 11th birthday has come and went. I've decided I've been chosen with millions to stay protecting muggles. So no matter what people say, I'm a witch.

  • 1:21 The boy with the green slytherin tie is reallllllly cute!

  • I heard this for the first time at WSV and was completely blown away!!! I absolutely love this song (and my new cd!)!!!

    The video is totally awesome!!! Great job!

  • Im that kid no one would expect to read that becuz ur a diffrent person but i read all 7 and seen them all and everyone is surprised that i read them becuz im that jock type

  • love it!!!!

  • Any chance of a how to video for this song? I just cant get the strumming pattern right!

  • Comment removed

  • Lauren, you're amazing! I get judged for being so obsessed with Harry Potter a lot and other Potter fans do, too.  You just spoke for all the Potterheads with this song. Thank you! :D <3

  • Comment removed

  • Just wanted to say that you look really pretty and happy in this video Lauren. :)

  • I just found your videos today and you are amazing <3

    Keep making music, you're really really good and this is such an amazing song :)

  • @Shirley36 Aw, thank you so much! :D

  • I play quidditch (at the world cup this weekend), and I was so inspired to see how many Harry potter nerds, fans, and other teams were there! We axes wry competitive in the games, but I really love quidditch not only because it is fun, but because we have all been glared at, mocked, and bullied for what we love, but none of it matters because it is real for us, and we're taking it all the way! Thank you so much for your work, and this song! On behalf of my team, it's real for us!

  • Lauren, I just discovered you today, and you are AMAZING. I've listened to nearly all of your songs, and watched too many vlogs to count! This video was totally awesome!

  • @tnbenn19293 Aw, thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! :D

  • This is really brilliant! I love how you used this song from Harry Potter books and turned it into a non-bullying song. It was really great...and to top it all off, you look adorable! Awesome job for a first music video! I'd love to see more!

  • it's real for me too!<3

  • Ok, I cried.

  • I enjoyed this song a lot. Makes me fell so much comfortable with the things I love the most. Lauren I really love all your songs who are about novels. Do you ever read The Darren Shan Saga? If not, start now. You're gonna love it! J. K. R. does and she liked it! (;

  • Lauren you are so amazing <33

  • Thank you so much for that song. I, like so many other people, have been made fun of for being a Potterhead. Harry Potter has been the one constant in my life since I was 8 years old, and I don't care if it's over. It still lives on for all of us.

    And I have to ask what is the name of your Pygmy Puff that was sitting on the couch? I got a purple one just like it and it's name is Sebastian.

  • It still confuses me every time I see the American covers of the books. I mean, they're cool and all, don't get me wrong. But for me Harry Potter will always mean those brightly coloured, faintly ridiculous, mismatched pictures of obscure points in the storyline that have hardly any bearing on the plot. (That's if they're part of the story at all.)

    Apologies for my nostalgia, but I just found out they've discontinued the original British covers and replaced them with weird white ones. =(

  • Whats the song at the end?

  • @locomocobananasuper "This Is It" from my album The Prince's Tale.

  • Tomorrow in one of my classes we have to show/bring something we think is beautiful. I'm showing this =)

  • the nerd boys name is Eric Hornsby, you can find him on Facebook.

  • Do you know what day / time you're playing at the Quidditch World Cup? I don't want to miss it!

  • @DiscoSux87 We're playing on Saturday but I'm not sure what time yet.

  • @devilishlypure Thanks, can't wait!

  • This is so good! I may or may not have started crying less than a minute in... lol

    Excellent work, Lauren!

  • love this song

  • Nerd Boy = DAYUM!!!

  • I LOVE THIS!

    Jeez- I need to re-read a Harry Potter. Chamber of Secrets?

  • Great video!!! Congrats!

  • Still so very wonderful, fantastic job to everyone who worked on this. I can't wait to buy this album at Wrockstock in less than two weeks :D

  • Okay who else cried? I get so much crap all the time from people because I'm on Pottermore and I constantly have one of the books with me and my senior quote came from DH and I have a Harry Potter costume that I wear every chance I get and so on and so forth. But really, doesn't anyone else have something like Potter? Something that made their life so amazing? I have so yes, it is real for me. It's real for us! Long live the Potter fandom!

  • @AlphabetBailey i cry everytime i hear this song

  • this is so so perfect lauren, awesome job to you and everyone involved! seriously so lovely.

  • You should come to Madison, CT. Just saying :)

  • @ViolinistForever18 I'll be less than 40 minutes away in Hamden! :)

  • @devilishlypure Ohh! I should come! When/where is it? :) Yayyy

  • @ViolinistForever18 Hamden, CT on 10/23. There are several links to the details for all of my shows on my channel page.

  • @devilishlypure And in the video description for this video.

  • @devilishlypure Oh, yay! Thanks! :)

  • This is one of your best videos, I must say. I love the song too. The entire Prince's Tale album is amazing. My friend went got one for me when you most recently came to Georgia and I've listened to it whenever I have any amount of free time. It was a big conversation starter when someone at school asked me what I was so into on my iPod. I think I kind of scared him away, though. I tend to do that to boys when it comes to HP. And he was really cute, too :( But I'm still listening to it.

  • I keep coming back to this. So lovely.

  • this is awesome, it's hard to put into words what the series has done for me but this comes pretty close.

  • Absolutely beautiful video. It made me cry, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. :')

  • I might be crying. Maybe. Or definitely.

  • I keep listening to this. I love this so much lauren.

  • HPA!

  • This is absolutely beautiful! But... you made me cry! :') It's just that wonderful! Thanks for all that you do; this video really reminded me what the fandom is all about at a time where I really needed to be reminded of the wonderful group of people I associate myself with (it's been sort of a rough week, thanks for making it better)

  • @IvyMarieWorld And you are obviously a Muggle.

  • Is it bad that my thought was "You're a Slytherin, you know you're better than them, fight them back!"

  • I think this is one of my favourite songs. You're one of the best Wrock artists out there and this just proves it. :) Love it.

  • Lauren, when you performed this at LeakyCon I cried so much- you really just tapped into my heart in a way few songs do. I love this.

  • i love these lyrics :) and the video is really really really well done <3

    i think the only thing that could have been a little better is the singing. you have a nice voice, it's just a little rough around the edges :) <333 much love!

    POTTERHEADS FTW ! <3

    p.s: who is that sexy slytherin guy? ;3 mrawrrr~

  • I love this video! :)

  • This is amazing Lauren!

  • Well, that made me cry. This is amazing, Lauren.

  • I cry every time the little girl covers her ears...

  • This was really not my morning, everything seemed to go wrong but this made it all better.

    Thank you, Lauren, the video is just perfect for this song that I adore...

  • I can't get over how absolutely beautiful this is. This is probably the fourth time I've come back to it, watching it a few times each.

  • so good

  • This made me cry so hard. The other day I was in the car thinking about how I never got my Hogwarts letter, and how lucky all those European kids that go to Hogwarts are. No math, potions, charms, having such an amazing school... then it hit me, Hogwarts isn't real, it is a fictional place created in our minds. But even if it's not real physically it will always be real for us.

    Thank you JK Rowling for the most amazing ten years of my life.

  • That was amazing. <3

  • You have no idea how reassuring it is to walk into a school I hate full of decepticons with this playing in my earphones. I know that there is a whole community that feels the same as me and that is something they will never have.

  • Excellent! <3

  • I love it, dear.

  • I.Love.This. SO TRUE!!!! Proud Potterhead!!! ;')

  • this is amazing! it made me tear up. ily :)

  • Such an awesome video, Lauren! Also, I spy Lauren! Um. The other Lauren. ;P

  • Hot damn this was amazing.

  • The guy in the white jersey shirt is a HOTTTTIE.

  • WOW! This awesome. The song truly express how I feel. I want a real hogwarts. I know I would have fit in better there than at my high school.

  • LAUREN THIS IS SO GOOD.

  • @aSammyGee Yay!! I'm glad you like it, Sammy. Thank you so much!

  • This is fantastic.

  • Star Wars shirt in a Harry Potter video. My two worlds combined. Life is good.

  • LOVE IT JUST LOVE IT <3 <3 <3

  • LOVE IT JUST LOVE IT <3 <3 <3

  • Thanks for making me cry :P this was fantastic. I know those feelings. D:

  • I want to watch this video every day for the rest of my life. Amazing, Lauren,

  • Whenever i see your engagement ring in this video... me "EEK!!!" yip lol

  • Clever video.

  • Ok, got a little teary eyed!

  • This is amazing! :')

  • Awesome video Lauren! :D

  • I love this song and this music video :) Both bring a smile to my face cause they express hope :) Everyone needs a little hope in their lives :)

  • Thank you for introducing me to Scarhead. It's pretty freaking great.

  • Oh Lauren, you made me cry! I want to wish you and Matt a lifetime of happiness. Leah had a great time at your wedding!

  • "Haha, the Slytherin boy has a hickey"

    Hehe.. It's not a hickey. When Eric was 2 his neck had swollen up to the size of a baseball. We thought it was lymphoma but after testing we found that it was only cat scratch fever. They did go ahead and remove it surgically and it left quite a scar. TMI I'm sure but there ya go!

  • Gooooooorgeous.

  • @hayleyghoover Thank you, Hayley!

  • this is what the muggles dont understand. harry potter is more than wands and broomsticks and potions and whatever. thats what makes up harry potter. but what harry potter is, is comfort, security. its home

  • i LOVE THIS SONG AND THE PRICE'S TALE IS DEFINITELY MY FAVOURITE WROCK ALBUM AND I ONLY BOUGHT IT YESTERDAY!!!!

  • I heard your music for the first time at LeakyCon and I LOVED it! The Prince's Tale is my favorite wrock album!

    P.S. congrats on getting married!

  • Fucking gpoy

  • That was beautiful

  • The best thing about Harry Potter and Hogwarts is that it isn't just some magic castle or fiction books. Just as the song represented it is about us all losing ourselves in the books and bonding together with all of those fellow outcasters and finding a place where we belong. The magic is that it brings us together and the difference it inspires us to make in the world. And though people around me may not understand it, it makes me feel better knowing how many people out there really do.

  • This was so good! You look gorgeous and the message was amazing - very clear, but not so strong that it felt like it was hitting me over the head. Thanks so much!

  • I'm really happy to hear about all the positive reactions to the video. Glad you all are enjoying it! It really is a great song, and now I fully understand how personal the stories are to potter fans.

  • Wow, Lauren! This is an amazing, amazing video! It's so professional looking. Your voice is also getting so much stronger from your old stuff. It's brilliant! And, of course, your lyrics are amazing and relate-able and perfect and wonderful, as alwasys.

  • Also, that nerd boy? Hot dayuumm.

  • @kira902k That's exactly what I was thinking :) Much better than the other guys in this.

  • This video! I cried.

    First of all, so professional! I loved all the shots and the sets and everything. Second, I love how much I can relate to it. Just the three different scenarios - the kid using HP as an escape from her parents fighting, the boy not fitting in at all, the girl not having a boyfriend but having her good friends and being proud - they were such realistic and great mini plot lines for the video.

    <3 ah. just. just. So. GOOD.

    Also, you're freaking GORGEOUS. really.

  • This was so heartfelt and kind. I loved it. <3

  • Haha, the Slytherin boy has a hickey :D

    This video was awesome by the way, I can see how much work must of gone in <3

  • I don't think that I can like this song enough. Or this video.

    Brilliant as always Lauren.

    <3

    It's real for us.

  • OH HOORAY!

  • Stellar as always! Is that a Pygmy Puff on the couch?

  • Aw Lauren! I love this, it's definitely a special song to all HP fans, and your music/singing just keeps getting better and better!

  • This is AMAZING.

  • I felt like crying and laughing at the same time. Great video

    

  • Congratulations Lauren! 

  • Ahh. This made me teary-eyed. I love our fandom.

  • Great song.

    

  • Fantastic job!!!! :D

  • WOW, Lauren. I'm so glad this exists. I'll admit that I cried a couple tears.

  • Great video! :)

  • So good <3

  • Great video! :)

  • As much as fantasy literature got me through an often-tough childhood, as an adult I also have to admit that in some ways, absorption of the tropes common to fantasy in my formative years also instilled some dysfunctional ideas about life that still to this day adversely affect my ability to get through an often-tough adulthood. Fantasy is great, but reality is reality, and can't be hidden from forever.

  • I fell in love with this song when you played it at LeakyCon and the video just makes it so much better!

  • I love this album Lauren! <3 Beautiful as "always".

  • amazing as always ^^ you really get us potterheads :D I've been following you since the moaning myrtles and I've never been disappointed with any of your work ;)

  • What is the song at the end? Is it on your new album?

    By the way, let me join everyone in saying have a GREAT wedding!!!

  • I love this video. LOVE IT! And it really shows that the song is called "It's real for US"--We're never alone, we always have each other! (Have an AWESOME wedding this weekend!)

  • there needs to be a LOVE button.

    consider it clicked 100,000,000,000,000,001 times.

    I love you Lauren! You're beautiful!

  • I know it's Harry Potter based, but why was every blond person evil?

  • Oh my god

    The girl reading the Deathly Hallows is at my college

    That is my college! And my fountain! And my Bursar's office!

    This is so strange... my college is so small and inconsequential. Is she just there for part of the music video, or does that girl actually go here??

    I must know!

  • @TheFourOfClubs she actually goes to UT but my husband, camera guy, and myself all graduated from there and live nearby so we wanted to film there :)

  • @scarheadshow Oh that's so awesome! haha I was so caught off guard

    Thanks for letting me know, I was so curious xD

  • @TheFourOfClubs Lauren Daly, the girl, now goes to UT-Austin. Just so you know.

    (I feel so creepy knowing this!)

  • Lauren from scarhead!!! That's so awesome and adorable I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!

  • I was lucky to have just as nerdy and book loving friends in my life. But there are others who don't have that and this song can be an encouragement. Thank-you.

    P.S. Hope you have a wrocking wedding this weekend.

  • this was so beautiful.
