WROCK!

[yknowthatgirl]

This video... Made me so happy to be a Potterhead.

DFTBA

[merksmirs]

People... I'm not proud of this but I like Twilight.... I don't mean to but I do.

Of course Harry Potter is greater. But there was a period of time when Twilight was mor important to me than Harry Potter. That's over now of course.... But I still really like Twilight.... sorry bout that

[bellacullen98a]

@merksmirs That is exactly the same as me! I liked harry potter... Then i loved twilight and then i LOVED harry potter while still really liking twilight. No need to be sorry :)

[S0urLem0nS]

Is there even such a thing as TwiRock? I hope not.

[merksmirs]

@S0urLem0nS I'm pretty sure there is xD

[jacy1213]

Haha I love how everyone was jumping around, and holding up different numbers on their hands.

[carbonatedcheese]

iaPs2bE agreed

with an addition of LotR in the dedicated fandom category

[neeeeves]

HARRYPOTTERHARRYPOTTERHARRYPOT­TERHARRYPOTTERHARRYPOTTERHARRY­POTTERHARRYPOTTERHARRYPOTTERHA­RRYPOTTERHARRYPOTTERHARRYPOTTE­RHARRYPOTTERHARRYPOTTERHARRYPO­TTERHARRY

...

I have got to get my self to LeakyCon someday...

[MrRydude17]

i hate twihards. 

[wrockinmaddie]

i like hp yr4 looks like charlie mcdonnell circa red hair.

[FlyingPigscanfly711]

was anyone else searching the crowd for starkid members?

[emilycaroline9]

Loving Harry Potter and liking Twilight are not mutually exclusive. We're nerdfighters, folks! We're supposed to DECREASE world suck. Maybe its just me, but in my book, hate definitely sucks.

[DuckTapeRose]

The couple at 1:54 made me smile. :)

[emergencyme1]

HARRY POTTER YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHGHHH

[bananabobo789]

There is such a thing called twirock. I cried when I heard about it.

[TheHPExperiment]

Twilight doesnt have a following like this.

IN YO FACE

[lilypad145]

Twilight is a flash in the pan, less than lightening; Harry Potter wears lightening and IS enlightening.

[booknerd12345511]

And this is why ik twilight is a fad and will never be as popular as harry potter

[shellfish1010]

Aw that couple at 1.55 ^__^ cute

[pienkunicorn]

I knew people liked Harry Potter. But i don't think I ever fully realised how much people get into it. Mind blown a little bit now. I think I'm scared.

[spidermanandsnape]

I WANT TO GO TO ONE OF THESE SO BAD! anyone know when and where the next one is?

[aquadrop25]

@spidermanandsnape Orlando, I think.

[dolphin64575]

@spidermanandsnape try wizardinglife

[brokinwand92]

the Twilight fandom will never be able to turn from peaceful circle to mosh pit, they're too busy putting white makeup on, glitter, and looking for Edward Cullen

[TheDoctorIsMyHomeboy]

This is making me depressed because I can't go to LeakyCon this year :(:(

[AgentLlamaSpit]

doctor who still has the best music ;)

[lilylpotter3]

siriusly, there is NO possible way twilight can have it's own branch of music. we dont rock. WE WROCK

[TheMontypythonfan]

@VanillaxSparklz Wizard rock has become a legitimate, mainstream music genre. No other book series or even book has accomplished that, including the Twilight Saga.

[SkyelinePigeon]

I cannot cannot cannot wait until Leakycon! It's finally the year of LeakyCon!! YAYYYYY

[PotterPerson44]

Oh how I wish to go to a Harry Potter Con. But I lack the ability to drive. And I have no money. *pouts*

But I'll be positive: HARRY POTTER FANS PWN (whether or not they're at the conferences.)

[imthe8thhorcrux]

I love John's quote about the "hyper-cynical world" and nerds and, of course, Harry Potter! This was one of the first vlogbrothers videos I ever watched and since then, I've been watching every post! Go vlogbrothers!! Go HatP! Go wrock!!!

[kateclaudia]

This is why I love Harry Potter :)

[oneorangespider]

Twilight will never rock like that.

Rock just doesn't seem the genre for that fandom.

[charliejoe2014]

Now does twilight have there own music type? No i think now

[L011235813]

I notice that 98% of Hanks's audience is female.

[Parselmouthsfan109]

omg i love your videos r u going to leaky con 2011

[AyriannahOllivandra]

@swimmersgirl

too late. currently using my own laptop (which does have a built in webcam...)

but I'll try for Leakycon. I'll need a lot to get all the way to florida, though...

[AyriannahOllivandra]

I have a list of things to do when I have money:

1)buy a computer of my own

2)get a video camera

3)go to leakycon

4)go to Harrypotterworld(I don't care what it's actually called- It's Harry potter world!)

I want to go to a HP con...

HP>twilight- in books, movies, and especially fans!

[swimmersgirl]

@AyriannahOllivandra I have a solution for you! Wait to buy a computer til later, get a used video camera, go to LeakyCon AND the HP theme park at the same time. In 2011, Leakycon will be in Orlando, FL and spend at least a day in the theme park. Whaddya say? :D

[Turquoiserose13]

It's my life-long dream to go to any kind of Harry Potter conference. Still waiting for it to come true.

[pseudocaveman]

Best open letter ever.

[eragonlover1]

I can't watch. I literally can't watch that many people have that much fun at a place I want to have been at so much. I think I'm going to cry. I'm so pathetic...

[datWilddRedhead]

that looks like so much fun :) i really wish i could have gone to that. makes me wish so mcuh harder that i could go to vidcon

[TheRyanShane]

Deer Twilight Fandom: Call me when you can wrock like that! FACE!

[BeHaPpY193]

COME TO INFINITUS JOHN!

[DoneBlock94]

i'm a brit as is j.k , so you know...YOU'RE WELCOME.

[BeBopALula1]

Does anyone know what song Harry and the Potters are singing? I can't make out the lyrics

[evanesco713]

It's "Dumbledore".

[regularguy5mb]

That was Wrock-tastic!

[baretoedgirl]

omg harry and the potters was there!? god that's amazing. it is perhaps a little ridiculous that i get ALMOST as excited about that as i would be at seeing paul mccartney again. ok, paul's still waaay better but still...

[chaosLydia]

I always watch this video to make me feel better

[somethingswicked]

Dumbledore, we all fight for you tonight.

[saltlines]

I'm totally addicted to wrock.

[YafaiGirl]

WOOT!

'Twilight' isnt fit to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Harry Potter

[EmoBoysRockQuietly]

OMQ!!

1:55 is a NERDFIGHTER MOSH!

[janineybeanieboo]

Where does the name 'Leakycon' come from?

[3h0nnu]

teh Leaky Cauldron?

[213436]

I do own "Dumbledore". I loveezz It. I'm pretty sure it's a life goal of mine to meet Paul and Joe DeGeorge/go to one of their concerts.

[PineappleRiot]

as a member of a twilight band I have to combat your statement John. WE DO ROCK THAT HARD! :D

[Numberonekakashifan]

I love trock! ,Wrocks ok i guess! XD

[chaosLydia]

Both are awesome in my book but they're awesome in different ways.

[Numberonekakashifan]

Hmmmm, true =D

[Kay10en]

Ah yes, so it was.

[caitlinthecandela]

woop woop HP!

[FableofLife]

I like the rap version of dftba more.

[deadkennedysrmyhero]

Hey john why am i such a lame nerd?

[feasible]

There is so much awesome in this video. It is indescribable.

But I can't for the life of me figure out what song is being played during the dancing scene. It's driving me insane. Any help?

[bevinkathryn]

Which one? With Hank dancing? It's 'Heart Can Change' by the Whomping Willows. You can also hear 'Ginny Gets Around' by Gred and Forge (which people are dancing to, and 'Dumbledore' by HatP at the end. :)

Hope that helps.

[ifancythetrio]

1:43 was one of the most epic HatP moments I've ever experienced. And I think I've experienced more than a few really epic HatP moments.

[yoru4you]

Where are you, man? I miss question Tuesday and News day on Sunday.

[karmaraven]

I am a grudging member of Twilight Nation, and we cannot ever rock like that as a group. Most are too emo, so they sit in the corners and cut themselves.

But I, as a member of both nations, can rock like that and harder, if need be.

[iaP2bE]

"Dear Twilight Fandom, Call me when you can rock like that."  ----- That just totally made my day.

[xGlowFliesx]

I saw a poll the other day...can't remember where it was, but the question was "What fandom has the most dedicated fans?" or some variation of that. The choices were Twilight, HP, or Trekkies. And Twilight had about 80% of the vote. It severely pissed me off [: I really wanted to show them all this.

[iaP2bE]

Twilight might have the most insanely obsessive fans but no fandom is more dedicated than that of Harry Potter...

[pienkunicorn]

@xGlowFliesx Trekkies obviously

[DefinitionDiana]

I desperately want to go to Leakycon :]

[imfunnygal511]

The couple at 2:00 are just adorable!

[kimchrysanthemum]

ha! i love the ending =]

[thisisthomasjordan]

1:45 nerd "wall of death" =D

[chondriacmusic]

May I point out one obvious mistake in your open-ended letter?

You did not enclose your phone number..

So, even if they WERE to come up with a hardcore Twilight-rocker band, we'll just call it Edward and the Cullens, then Edward and the Cullens would be unable to reach you.

Just saying.

[callmedwarling]

Burn.

[DefinitionDiana]

Oh, god, Twilight Rock? Please, god no. Ugh.

[chinareds54]

It's out there. Marion (the Nerdfighterion) was in one until Breaking Dawn made her quit the series :p...

[iaP2bE]

Please!!! Do you have no respect for humanity? Spare us allll! A Twilight rock band would increase world suck sooooo much I wouldn't know what to do.

[Marissa1r2ss]

Agreed! The world is better without the Edward vs Jacob debate in song form.

[dublin7emh]

You will be waiting a looooong time for that call, John.

[hippopotomussss]

i lost the game! you suuuuuuck. urgh. wizrrrdd rock

[ChristyLovesMusic]

i don't have a closet. i'll look in my wardrobe for the body though :D

[MarsRepepsi]

Never happens. I've seen this chain letter 4 times today.

[sugaratic]

very energetic crowd, you don't see that too often anymore..

[funkiiMunkey]

iloveeeeeeeee harrypotter :)

[kingredferd]

OH, I JUST LOST THE GAME!

[DistractedbyAwesome]

The Twilight fandom is too busy looking for Edward Cullen to rock like that.

[JolieAriane]

HP fans are amazing.

[lalamoola]

I lost the game

[ickedwayiratepay]

darn it! i lost too!

[luvdoctor9]

i'm a fan of both harry potter and twilight and it makes me sad :'( that we can't just all get along. both are awesome and deserve to be loved. it would be like if hamsters and gerbils were at war.. or geese and ducks.. or toads and frogs.. or m&ms and skittles!!! for gods sake!

the world is suffering from our mono-fandom-mindedness

wizards and vampires CAN be friends if we just give them a chance <3

peace and long life

[cnthncvgdsrnm]

i agree and nice speech :)

[ohlala73]

I couldn't agree more! I've been a HP fan for years, but that didn't stop me from loving the Twilight series. There is no reason why we shouldn't get along just fine.

[musefan4]

I love your open letter x)

[CrristyCz8]

Are you going to leakycon 2011?

[mcflyloveme]

Well they didn't forget to be awesome. I wish I couuld have been there, one day I will emigrate to America and it twill be amazing.

[cowrider7]

1:53 bottom left.

is that charlie

[cptnspook]

I love Harry and the Potters! The came to Memphis on Joe's birthday and we had ice cream with him.

[saeruhluvsginny]

Was that a different band singing Dumbledore, or did Harry and the Potters randomly pop out of retirement for a bit?

[JacintheG]

I don't think they ever retired... They just slowed down touring, I think because Joe's at school. They were the real Harry and the Potters... lol.

[pasta1017]

Question for question Tuesday:

What is your favorite ocean, lake, or body of water?

[MonicaJKelly]

wish i was there

[7DeadlySinsGluttony]

Question for the next question Tuesday:

Could we please have an update concerning the status of the Paper Towns movie/screenplay and the book you're writting with David Levithan?

P.S. You two are my favorite authors. :D

[ochoa830]

Ha ha, you tell that Twilight fandom!!

[velociraptor7814]

To all Twilight fans:

You suck!

[Rooshla]

=[ not coming to Adelaide?

[Violaoliviarolalin]

Grrrr! I wish I was there!!!!!!

[AlyAndCate]

lol wow

[DeeLamps]

Take that Twilight! You will NEVER have anything this great!

Leaky was the best thing EVER

[obsessiveblonde]

that harry and the potters set restored my faith in a lot of things. <3

[tripthe1]

People who get that enthusiastic about a children's book worry me.

You get FIVE stars for fictional characters buying you drinks.

[missionman003]

HA!

dear Twilight fandum,

You will never be as cool as Harry Potter!

[AncientProphecy]

ah... i miss out on all the nerdfighter fun

[toonadict]

Im sein what looks like Nerimon hair on keyboard

[GirlPercussionist525]

Amazing... That sounds soooo cool!

[Nic33rd]

Neat. =]

[laxrox1093]

woot! i was in like half a second of a vlogbrothers vid. i feel special

[unstablesimplicity]

I could not stop staring at the couple in the front.

They had a moment, and then he was like "Oh, I'mma jump."

And then he got tired after approximately 3 seconds.

[JugglerJulia]

hahaha i know right!

[bobo13193]

Proof of Great "Twirock"(I like Vrock Better) The Mich Hansen Band =]

[littleapple11]

i found a younger john green in my history class.

i believe he will grow up and be you without realizing.

[desikitteh]

can't travel to see you in melbourne (even though it's quite close to the town i live in), but i hope you have a great time there!

- the mostly housebound aussie nerdfighter.

[afancymudkip]

AH! I wish I could have been there.

Unfortunatly, I live in Wisconsin. D:

[NeonCatterpillar]

Well, twilighters can make Vrock - vampire rock, but it wouldn't be half as good as wrock :)

[bobo13193]

Oh no they couldn 't even come up wit Vrock its Twirock hehehe Some of it is actually good but most is eh  Nothing can compare to WROCK!

[layray210]

that looks so fun (:

[cullen212121]

I love the semi odd couple at the edge of the mosh pit.

Man, I wish I could have been there...

[Keaxx]

How on earth do you see Dumbledore straight? If we're going by sterotypes, then look at his outfits! And his "friendship" with Grindewald - it makes much more sense after he was outed.

[Keaxx]

He isn't saying against Twilight! It's just people are always comparing the Twilight and HP fandoms and the amount of awesomeness generated by wizard rock is unlike anything else.

[moniquersqueeker]

Why was I not there??? :'(

[MiniatusLuna]

I know I can rock like that...xP And why can't we be part of both the harry potter fandom and the Twilight fandom. No need to discriminate!! xP

[sixamazinggirls]

twilight is no where near as awesome as harry potter!

[feetsweet]

Twilight fandom will rock like that when they turn 21. Give it another 7 years.

[GChdrakeMan]

Sorry, but 4 stars because the sound just isn't that great.

[shatani]

that looks like a grand time was had by all!! oh, and john, i recently purchased my very first john green novel! yay! i was wondering, do i have to read them in the order in which you wrote them? will i have continuity issues because im starting with Katherines?? feel free to answer this on a question tuesday....if those exist anymore.

[frenchpinkpoodle]

haha, naw they're all different novels :)

[wowiewhoawow]

no, all dif novels......

[VPAShadow]

No, they are each independent novels, you can read them in any order you want, they are not a trilogy or series or any of the sort, just three really great novels.

[Wahzoozoo]

pwnd.

[floppystarfish]

:20 weird creepy eye movement??

[Angel1000287]

Lol, no one can even THINK that Twilight is nearly as good as Harry Potter.

[BJisoffdachain815]

I wish you guys would come to Tampa!

[wbrown633]

i wouldn't stay up waiting for tht call, lol

[boogersismyname]

i wish youd come to richmond, virginia.

[jkdblondie]

AHHH i love you! i can't form anymore words than that at the moment because there is SO MUCH LOVE!

[MisfitRed]

I have never been happier than I am now to say that I haven't read all the HP books. Seriously yall? I'll agree that Twi-hards are ridiculous, but do you really think you're that much better? I like HP and I like Twilight but this competition is absurd. Decrease world suck by getting over yourselves.

Besides, everyone knows the Whoniverse is where it's at ;P

[xSushixPackx]

OH MY GOD ;__; That made me so sad and happy all in one aaaah

[Thestralsxxx]

I would like to see Twilight TRY to be as awesome as Harry Potter.

[boogersismyname]

i would pay to see that, because it would never happen.

[Katiezor]

twlight got pwned

[JOSHUA777ABC]

[GlowingBlueIris]

I am amused/really love how an entire, laid-back mosh pit formed in like, five seconds. x)

But this video makes me sad, because once again, awesome gatherings fail to happen anywhere near me. Gah.

"Call me when you can rock like that."

My sister = Twilight fangirl. I am totally going to use that on her.

[Vulcaine7]

Take that Twilight Fandom.

[NerdsAreHumansToo]

yeah!

australia!

[isax]

lmao

amused.

[eibbore]

That clip of Harry and the Potters almost made me cry, reliving that experience.  Suffering Post-Potter Depression all over again.

P.S. I ADORE your letter to the Twlight fandom. Never. Going. To. Happen.

[Modo3000]

I must be a sap, it did tear up. and I was not even there. HatP are The BBBBbbbbbbbbbbeest! *along with all other wrockers too!

[MissAnoni]

YAY!!!! Go Australia! One thing tho, while all that awesome dancing was going on, YOU were standing there with a video camera? Dude, that's kinda sad. I hope you got to enjoy the music too. Keep making these vids, you rock! Oh and I hope you have some pics/video's of Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Opera House in your next vid.

~MissAnoni~

[aicfan85]

music doesn't get much better than harry and the potters!

[Rihannaiskool1]

Y WONT U COME TO ENGLAND?!

[eibbore]

It costs a lot of money. And he is not being sent their by a publisher.

[loonygrl90]

...This just makes me sad that I couldn't go, dang it.

[sydneyca]

*sigh*

[chewbobington]

Oh man oh man oh man oh man, I want to see Harry and the Potters again SO BAD. I do heart the Bella Cullen Project (search for them on YouTube! They are from my hometown, and while they cannot wrock like that, they ARE staggeringly adorable), but my soul needs some good wizardly rocking. OH HOW I LONGED TO GO TO LEAKYCON. *sigh*

[acciocaitlin]

'Call me when you can (w)rock like that.'

I am using that one against my friends. Thank you.
