  • love the song, but harry met hagrid first. Hagrid told him he was a wizard, not dumbledore...

  • MoM is definitely the best Wrocker bands. accio love °v°

  • I love this song, but the first time I heard this [before the boy who lived part] I thought it was about Tom Riddle Jr.

  • this is awesome! The ministry of magic rocks!

  • I love this song so much! One of my fave songs by MoM :) It's amazing! :D

  • OMGG!!(oh my godric gryffindor) y won't they make a song about Harry and Ginny ?!?!?!

  • @MegaSoftballchick10 They have one. It's called Meet Me on Diagon Alley

  • This song is perfect for Harry. :( *cries*

  • @TheShadowStunt an anime Is a type of cartoon. It's Asian and many characters have large eyes and long hair. Some anime includes Naruto, Avatar the last airbender, DragonBallZ, my neighbour totoro, and Yu-gi-oh. It's quite entertaining google it if you want further info ;)

  • @lizkimoto sorry but what's an anime?

    P.s someone reply please

  • This song and video make me emotional so much. I missed Harry Potter *-*

  • This song is just so moving! I'm like.. crying.

  • Amazing. Just amazing.

  • i just cried a little. and im proud.

  • @pillar7of7fabulosity same......

  • Attention Harry Potter fans. As you may or may not know, several years ago, some awesome Japanese guy planed to make Harry Potter into an anime. For whatever reason, this beautiful idea was scrapped and left to rot. I now propose a digital petition to help turn Harry Potter into and anime and continue the greatness of Harry Potter with the fun of anime! Yes, I am a super geek. Super geek and proud!

  • I first saw this on luke's channel and loved it but this video makes it sooooo much better :')

  • A part of me thinks that this song is about both Tom and Harry

  • @digiwriter1392 It is about both. Two sings this song. One for Harry, one for Tom.

  • The beauty and perfection of Harry Potter constantly astounds me. ♥

  • When this song starts out, it could be about either Tom or Harry. It leads me to think it’s Tom we’re talking about because it said “I met a man named Albus”. Harry didn’t meet Dumbledore until he reached Hogwarts. . .

  • @cruciomuggle That part was Tom's but before it was Harry :D

  • this is my favorite ministry of magic song and i think it says so much about harry potter as a charcter and it's just great ^-^

  • I think Harry actually had a worse life than Tom. I know we don't know much about the orphanage, but from what I can tell, I think Tom had a chilhood of indifference.

    Harry, on the other hand, had a childhood of hate and abuse. He was bullied at school and home by his cousin, forced to live in a cupboard, and treated like a slave. And yet he's the one who chose to be good, and Tom was evil. Just a random notion :)

  • @LilyRoseLupin ah but you have to engage in some form of relationship with someone to hate them. You have to acknowledge them to hate them. But to be utterly indifferent to them? To let them be invisible, caught up in the machinery of an orphanage, and utterly forgotten? To not matter? I say Tom had it worse. By hating Harry, the Dursleys acknowledged him - every day.

  • @LilyRoseLupin Indifference is worse as if someone hates you they care about you! Just think of Snape he cared about Harry because he loved Lilly but He still hated Harry because of James!

  • The biggest difference between is that Harry got to stay with his family even if they don't really want him, there they were and are his family. Petunia really did try and protect him if you think about it as she had already lost her sister to the wizarding and she did not want her nephew to be lost to that world!

  • @Annabella56 Yea,i think people tend to think the Dursleys were just complete and utter pricks. Dont get me wrong, they were pretty terrible but they did still feel SOMETHING for him. Dudley proved that in deathly hallows,however tiny the notion was.Family is family. However Tom's family was just evil. And they sucked,lol.

  • thumbs if this is better than i am a wizard by harry and the potters

  • i like luk's solo version coz he says today i met a man who's name was hagrid :D

  • You all should watch Luke Conard's cover of this song on his channel. Gave me goosebumps and brought me to tears.

  • Beautiful makes me cry and i am a guy (look at the ryhming abilitys

  • This song is AMAZING!!!!! It's sooo beautiful! <3

  • I wish Harry could see these sometimes.

  • "today I met a man whose name was HAGRID!"

  • O Merlin I'm crying again.

  • Aw man this was good. I just watched Ascendio on lukeconard's channel and saw this in the suggestions. Amazing. Definitely got me teary.

  • 9 people never learned to become a wizard [or witch(; ]

  • One of Harry Potter's biggest message is that it's your choice who you want to be, which side you want to take. Because Harry and Tom Riddle is, in some way, exactly the same. Orphans, had a horrible childhood, both parselmouths, both with a mind of a Slytherin, etc. But what sets them apart is which side they took, who they wanted to be. Voldemort let the bitterness take over him while Harry resisted it, and it made all the difference in the world.

  • @Eternity601 I FUCKING LOVE YOU

  • @DylanFordOHYAH Woah, totally unexpected there!! Thanks, I suppose! lol ;D

  • @Eternity601 so kind of like hermione and umbridge, and spiderman and venom???

    avps

  • @egirleagle Yes, exactly. Hermione and Umbridge share the same mind on following the authority, but Hermione will only follow it when said authority is fair and shows justice, while Umbridge, well, we know it's exactly the opposite for her.

  • @egirleagle 10 points to you!

  • @Eternity601 i think it was all aabout their friends.......Tom was to withdrawn.

  • @Eternity601 that is a bad comment man bi g up to you

    

  • @tidus2k5 Um, what? I'm just saying what I think of Riddle and Harry's of relationship and their similarities and differences. How's that a bad comment?

  • @Eternity601 just saying but Harry wouldn't have been a parselmouth if Voldy hadn't tried to kill him...

  • @ahintofelation Yeah, and Harry's entire childhood happened the way it did because of Voldemort, didn't it? He wouldn't have been an orphan if it weren't for Voldemort, he wouldn't have a bad childhood, he wouldn't have been a parselmouth, it all happened because of Voldemort.

  • @Eternity601 god dammit Voldemort. Ruining everything ¬_¬

  • @ahintofelation Lol, tell me about it. I mean, no villain can't cause so much personal disaster like Voldemort does, seriously.

  • @Eternity601

    So it WAS about both Tom and Harry? I was never clear on that.

  • Well I'm crying...hard. Don't know 'bout you.

  • What a good one!

  • I cried the first time i saw this. Thanks so much MoM this is truly genius. And thanks potterink for the video.

  • I've just begun to cry. I was sitting in the library, minding my own business, and I began crying. Sobs are shaking my body and all I can think about is that this book - these two people, who started so similar and changed so much - have shaped me. They've made me who I am. Harry Potter is an existence that should not be tampered with. Because it's beautiful. It's faith for the faithless...hope for the hopeless...and a place to go for those with no others. Harry Potter is more than a book.

  • why are there always so many comments about Twilight on wizard rock videos?

  • This is definatly about Tom Riddle and his dreams, thoughts and such.

  • this is confusing, Tom Riddle met Dumbledore, but Harry is the boy who lived? Who is this song about??? Not alone would probably refer to Harry though, because Tom really didn't have friends, and he liked being alone. But Harry had a home (no matter how awful) and a family, and Tom was in an orphanage... boy am I confused.

  • @katnissblue99 It's both. It alternates.

  • @katnissblue99 I think it's about them both since, as you said, it refers to both their stories in this song- I think the aim is to show the similarities between Tom and Harry as children (and therefore to make you think about the difference between them as they grew up and how incredible it actually is that Harry turned out so heroic and Tom so bitter)... it's possible that I'm reading too much into things though. Either way though, it's a great song! :D xxx

  • @katnissblue99 I think the second verse, "Today I met a man named albus" was about Tom Riddle. Its showing the similarites between Harry and Tom. That they both grew up as orphans who didn't know they were wizards..etc.

    Thats what I think anyways!(:

  • @delaney68720 Now the world makes sense!

  • Comment removed

  • i absolutely love this song! it actually makes me cry when i listen to the lyrics!

  • Comment removed

  • This song makes me feel like crying everytime. Either this or One last goodbye bY let's Lumos is my favourite Wrock song. I just love this.

  • Comment removed

  • is it pathetic this song made me cry?

  • This is a beautiful song and a wonderfully made video. This song really touched me like very few songs, Wrock or otherwise, do. Absolutely amazing.

  • I love Harry Potter

    call me obsessed, nerd, freak... whatever you want, but Harry Potter means a lot to me and this song really touches me :)

  • @Dinny31 Calling you obsessed, a nerd or a freak is calling myself those things. Trust me, you're not. :D

  • @Dinny31 Noo, I'm pretty sure you're considered absolutely and completely normal if you're a Harry Potter fan in here. It's when you dislike it is when people starts calling you names. xD

  • You know, if Albus was the one who told him he was a wizard, this song is about Tom Riddle.

  • @moearly Yeah but lyrics like "I am the boy who lived, the one to save the world" - that can't be about Tom, can it?.. lol

  • @luara4 haha--yeah, good point--I got to the part of the song with the clear Harry references after I posted that. I think this song represents both of them, highlighting their similarities at age 11, which makes you think about how they could turn out so different with such a similar beginning. *ponders*

  • @moearly In the version on spotify (for exampel) they sing that it was Hagrid. ;)

    But, I think this is a song about both Harry and Tom, even if it isn't ;)

  • harry potter has hundreds of fansites and podcasts, musicals, a genre of music, a theme park, and a store!! BEAT THAT TWILIGHT!!!!

  • @yellowhamsterofdoom, no MoM said that it was about Harry, and that they had made a mistake when they said, 'Today I met a man whose name was Albus.' now in any of their live performances, they sing it as, 'Today I met a man whose name was Hagrid.'

  • This is the song, that perfectly connects Voldemorts fate with Harrys. In some points they are so similar.

  • my favourite part:

    0:00 - 5:23

    :D

  • @ilovehimx23 I agree completely! Love this video.

  • ineffably phenomenal!

  • I cried. I love this song. Really well done. :')

  • I cried. I love this song. Really well done. :')

  • can someone clear this up for me? Is this song about Harry, or is it about Riddle? Because I can see it as both..

  • @jupiterscott316 until the verse " am 'The Boy Who Lived' , the one to save the world" i also thought i was about Riddle.

  • @jupiterscott316 I think it's about both... highlighting the similarities, but also the differences, between them. That's my interpretation, anyway.

    :) x

  • you dont cry, you dont cry!

    Yes you do!, you do cry :(

  • @kelseyhm AVPM? You win oh so much!

  • @x9alli9x Oh yes...It's simply the best thing ever invented!

  • This song is amazing!!! It makes really ssad then really happy again!!! This is how i feel everytime i finish the 7th book!!! GO HARRY POTTER!!!

  • So... wrock. Is it pronounced like "rock"? Or like "wha-rock"? W'rock? How would one tell it apart from ordinary rock?

  • @lycaonpictus77  I've always wondered that. I say wrock like whro-ock. with a british type accent. that always seems to separate the two

  • @milleniumf15 Ooooh, I like that one. I'm gonna say that from now on. :D

  • @vampirez103 i thought exactly the same thing.

  • Everyone. In their accoustics version of this song, they changed "Dumbledore" to "Hagrid" so this song is about Harry. Also in the accoustic version of Accio Love, they changed "If Hermione knew the Patronus Charm" to "Since Hermione knows the Patronus Charm"

  • WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BRING TWILIGHT IN TO THIS????? WHAT DOES TWILIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH HARRY POTTER OTHER THEN ROBERT PATTERSON?!?!?!?!?!

    PEOPLE LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I actually think this song is about Tom Riddle. Because Dumbledore was the one who told him he was a wizard...Hagrid told Harry.

  • @erisedx2O1O since when the heck started tommy growing sentimental and talking about friendship? besides, it says "i am the boy who lived,the one that saved the world"'as i recall,voldy tried to destroy it and almost succeded.anyways,MoM(the band,not my mother,dummies) said in a live concert that they made a mistake(should have said Hagrid).it's about HARRY,people!

  • one problem: hagrid told him he was a wizard not Dumble-dear xD

  • @vampirez103 It could maybe be about both, because Harry is the boy who lived....

    And just wondering, are you a starkid? :)

  • @CicPeace to the bone!! ;) wbu?

  • @vampirez103 Same, from the moment I first saw it!

  • @vampirez103 That little bit is about Tom Riddle. Probably since Harry and him have so much in common, being alone and orphans, and when they found out they were wizards, it was pretty fantastic.

  • All the Harry Potter fans should listen to Mugglecast!!

  • I love how the weasleys were the family harry never had :)

    haha this song is awesome! MoM is awesome!

  • holy crap this song is amazing. AMAYZING. AMAAAAZZZINNNNNgg!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it made me cry. long live MOM and harry potter. LOVE CONQUERS ALL.

  • i saw comments saying like "i thought it was about tom riddle at first".. but,honestly.. how can you think it's about voldemort when it's so sentimental AND talks about love?:/

    HARRY FTW!

  • Comment removed

  • @anaough because Hagrid told Harry, Albus didnt

  • @iaMyla i know why, people,but as i said to erisedx2O1O the band mentioned the mistake and apologised. and read the lyrics properly,could you imagine the voldy bastard talking like that? right,neither do i. cheers!

  • i like how it says"i met a man named albus......... soon ill go to a place that he called hogwarts" when he only met dumbledore at hogwarts

  • i grew up with the HP movies and books....its a huge part of my life! i used to pretend that one night a wizard would come and tell me im a witch and take me to hogwarts, and i was a witch for almost every halloween! ^_^ HP 4EVA!!!!

  • Twilight sucks! Harry Potter fans, UNITE!

  • @icyspicy647 well sed

  • @icyspicy647 Why even mention Twilight? Really!

  • @icyspicy647 I'm uniting!

  • @icyspicy647 Twilight has its merits but i have to agree that Harry Potter is BEYOND amazing and its kicks Twilight's BUTT! haha idk how they ever got tied up in the same category O.o

  • HP Freaks FTW!

  • Harry - the best wizard ever! :D And I love Ron and Hermione <33

  • this is one of my favourite songs ever! wrock n wands! i wanna no who r the eight who gave it thumbs down! this video is awesome

  • Love Harry, LOVE this song! :) x

  • How many times did I listen to this song now?

    And it still makes me cry. :´o)

  • I thought the song was about Tom Riddle until the part where it says something about The Boy Who Lived.... 

  • this song sends shivers down my spine <3

  • um..... hagrid told harry he was a wizard NOT albus

  • @fredrocks222 i noticed that to

  • always makes me cry  x( I've grown all the way with Harry Potter from a little child till now~♥

  • This song makes me cry. :')

  • forgive me for asking this, but what is that line? i keep thinking its "im not a virgin" but that obviously cant be right..

  • @KittyCatGirl15 I'm not a burden I think.

  • @VampricWaffle yeah i figured that out like five seconds after i posted the comment, whoops, but yeah i think they did mess that up abit, i still really like this song though. 

  • Shouldn't it be a man named Hagrid? O.o

  • I love the strings and the violin-y sounding things at about 2:41-2:53 :) Lovely.

  • Uhu, my life is also changed by Harry Potter.

    Because of Hermoine I started being a geek & HP-freak, but it's so awesome :D

  • i lavv this song.

    however is it about harry or voldemort?

    because i thought it was abotu harry but then i realised it said "today i met a man called albus" but harry meets hagrid first. :/

    it's lavly nonetheless.

  • @lovelylovellly It's about Harry, but they messed up or something I guess?

    IT's about HArry because it says in the song "I am the boy whi lived"

  • yeah,I'm so glad can know harry potter

  • Linda música!! Parabéns, vocês são D+ =DD

  • Friggin amazing!

  • i love this band so much! they are honestly one of the best things to happen to my life<3

  • I've lost count of how many times a week I listen to this song. It reminds me why we all love Harry so much and why his story is so touching. I just want to hug him.

  • this song is actually amazing. not just for wrock but for all genres of music. thank you harry potter for giving all of us nerds something to believe in.

  • I am a Pottterhead, and I couldn't be happier! :)

  • why this is a powerful song that makes me cry

  • Fabulous video! The images go great with the song.

  • Ministry Of Magic are the best wrock band ever!

    Great video

    xx

  • What an amazing song!

    Ministry of Magic is and will always be my favorite Wrock band. They know exactly how to put the feelings into words. (Sorry, can't really explain. But it feels like they put the emotions Harry and we feel into lyrics...)

    Love it.

  • I totally agree! This song particularly seems to not just be from Harry's point of view, but also from the reader's as they go through the same experiences he goes through.

    Like you said, you can't explain it, it just moves you on a such a deep level

  • I love the Ministry of Magic! They are the best Wizard Wrock Band ever!! :D I love them!!

  • I suppose Tom Riddle and Harry's lives are so intertwined it could well be about. E.g. How Tom came first, became Voldemort but then Harry defeated him...

  • not to mention the fact that it clearly says "i am the boy who lived"

  • i will admit, it could be either tom riddle or harry, but we must remember:

    Tom riddle didnt care for a home!

    and he didnt want to be a 'hero' as the lyrics say!

    and plus later on in the album they canged it to :

    today i met a man named hagrid",

    so i think its really about harry.

    but it is cool that harry and tom have similarities in the way they viewd hogwarts and life at a young age:)

    i love herry potter with all my heart:)

    rock on M.O.M!!
