HP Fandom 101

[MrFredthelemur]

omg, it's jamie!

[hogwartsismyhoodgurl]

I watched this just because

A. It's Hayley

B. IT SAID HARRY POTTER

I only didn't fit the "don't know much about Harry Potter requirement"

[hogwartsismyhoodgurl]

I watched this just because

A. It's Hayley

B. IT SAID HARRY POTTER

I only didn't fit the "don't know much about Harry Potter requirement"

[watcherofLINT]

LOL, i'm not alone with the spazzing out to draco malfoy!!! YAY

[SSdetectiveagency]

pile of blood? not pool or puddle? what? was it old person sludgie blood?

[cricri06mtl]

Hey! I would like to have recommendations for wizard rock bands!

[scoobyfan1224]

If it wasnt for Harry Potter I wouldnt have found your awesome channel... Now its "over" and this is very sad to watch.

[iluvthevlogbrothers]

esther and abe sang tht song in one of her videos :)

[shelbieeex3]

Oh, my god. Look at the old YouTube layout. I don't miss it as much now that I'm seeing it again.

[aniraangel]

Wizard rock is actually filk, which has been around longer than Harry Potter has been a shadow of a thought. But it's still love.

[ThePugKingdom]

@PigFartsIsOnMars4 absolutely not! ;)

[Liv4Pace]

I don't like harry potter but matt britton....yum

[xXarinkaraXx]

I love this video! Actually, I enjoy all of your videos. And I'm so happy I'm going to the HP theme park in Florida!

[PigfartsIsOnMars4]

....is it bad I knew all of this? x)

[Plottoberry]

@PigfartsIsOnMars4 No, it makes you awesome. 

[MadSockRabbit]

I have an (unhealthy) obsession with Harry Potter and you introduced me to Wizard Rock. You are officially AWESOME! Thank youu :) <3

[rebeccawesome]

The girl at 1:22 looks like Harper from Wizards of Waverly Place

[LittleMissAzula]

118 more days till part two and I had the count down since a day after I saw part one lol

[Jobrosfanish]

What's the name of that song that was played at the end? I need to send it to one of my friends, she's a Draco lover. Anyway Peace

[lunafan1209]

I don't care that it's almost three years old, I love this video =)

[itstotallysarahyo]

Voooolllldemort can't stop. The rock.(:

[omgfreakay]

The 2007 YouTube website is so weird compared to what we have now.

Oh, how times have changed.

[Velocilover]

I knew every reference and I wasn't even watching your videos because of your now obvious love for Harry Potter.

Favorite wizard rock song? Save Ginny Weasley from the Basilisk.

[MeghanOnStage]

And this is why I subscribed to you.

[phoebeshunkerbell]

it's out <3 love it

[TheUnderagedLiar]

3 Days until Deathly Hallows!!!

[KyleCapone]

4 DAYS TILL DEATHLY HALLOWS!

[RunNeonTiger27]

Harry and the Potters came on, and I realized I knew all the words :)

[monkeyaround92]

are you trying to say jamie lawrence and andrew sims are hot? JEEZ what a creep!! O.o

[MrFredweasleysgurl]

WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN FANDOM EVER

[notamuggle11]

@MrFredweasleysgurl HELL YEAH WE DO!

[Sarah12392]

wow. Hayley you have improved so much since then. As in this movie shows your, if you will, preschool knowledge of imovie and now you are a college graduate. It amuses me to know that you were not always the god of video editing and acting in front of a computer. You too were once a newbie. Please never delete this video. kthanks

[Jbuckbeak]

Harry potter is the coolest thing ever! I am glad to know that there r people like me who are just as obsessed with Harry potter as I am!

[craftgrrl14]

what"s the wrock song playing at the end?

[Faithch95]

@craftgrrl14 "The Foil (Malfoy)" by Harry and the Potters

[iEmmazing]

Epic, so epic, i tried explaining the fandom to some of my friends... Unsucessfuly

[fansforfans1900]

whats the song?

[mvapj]

i love that song by harry and the potters :) and thank u! i finally found some ppl who r like me. lol

[nutc11]

thanx 2 u i found people who r like me on the leaky cauldron THANK U!

[OhShizz011]

Am I the only one who cried when they didn't get their Hogwarts Letter?

[PsykoDay]

I love this video,miss the time before the last book came out

[paperweighted]

Ah, April 2007, back before the last book was out... *reminisces* I miss the fandom buzz. Nothing beats the anticipation of a Harry Potter book release = )

[improbcreepingyou]

classic..I am favoriting

[hptwilighter]

I still love this!

[photosinensis]

Man, this video is missing so much of the history and the wankery of the ancient fandom.

I mean what about Emerson's Harmonian Slaves? Cassie Cla(i)re's plagiarism (and Heidi's defenses thereof)? The eternal flamewar between the Harry/Hermione shippers and the Ron/Hermione shippers? MsScribe and her sockpuppet army of trolls? LaptopGate? CharityGate? The birth of Fandom Wank?

[bambambecky]

i dont think i've laughed this hard in ages XD

[bombshellMartiny]

I LOVE HARRY POTTER and my friends laugh but i know they just dont understand oh godd when will i turn 11?!?!

[mainstdancer08]

i've listened to MuggleCast since March, 2007

[pickles4muggles]

haha!! I remember this videooooo!!! I watched it a whileeee ago! And isn't it awesome how a lot of the people in this video are your best friends now? (Lauren and Kristina) I thinks that's just awesomeee

[katharinethequene]

I do too :-)

[ElphabaPWNs]

Wizard Rock is the one thing I could never get into.

[LillieTellsDaTruth]

OH YES MUGGLECAST!!

[potterpeach]

Looking at the old Mugglenet page with the HP7 countdown makes me want to cry. I wouldn't take that counter off of my desktop until like a year after DH came out, when my computer died. :(

[phililili23]

This video makes me feel like a TERRIBLE Harry Potter fan, lol.

[HannahHeartsHeath]

i love harry and the potters! i saw them twice in concerttt

[HannahHeartsHeath]

omg voldemort cant stop the rock i love tht song!

[bombshellMartiny]

nahh its all about saving ginny weasley

[sgtpeppers10]

ahhhh these old videos are making me so nostalgic! oh, the days i would visit mugglenet 6-7 times... a day! when i would blast mugglecast and talk back to them like i was having a conversation! when i went to wizard rock shows nervously clutching HBP and wondering if i had enough green and silver on! etc. etc. SIGH.

[ISnoggedHarry]

I COMMENTED ON THIS 11 MONTHS AGO.

YES.

[hptwilighter]

i think i might send this to some of my non-Potter friends... it explains the fandom a lot better than I ever could! I <3 you Haley!

[lilyenc]

this is weird, but wrock isn't really unique to our fandom if you count the SF folk songs they did in the early 90s.

BUT. wrock still rocks :D

[HPCrazyGirl]

Your so lucky to have so many friends from the fandom, my friends dont really understand why im so obsessed with the wonderfull wordl of Harry Potter -sigh-

[beckyandahalf]

hp is actually ALL i think about.

IRL friends don't get it so im so glad for people like you :D

[harrypotter4life]

I still can't believe YouTube deleted my Hedwig video.

[joswhatsernameS2]

WOOOOHHH! i love Jamie Lawrence! i cropped a picture of him to sing "Rachel I love you Rachel i do when we're apart my heart beats only for you" yeah pretty wierd.

[the5regularguys]

Wrockin' and Rowling.

Word.

[mydemolitionlover]

voldemort can't stop the rock <3

[Rilaayy]

kristina!

[12194bcv]

lol harry potter runs myy life too. haha ik! lol

[wyatthaplo]

lillix cool i like that song! Im just starting to get into wizard rock at the moment!

[funkygem239]

i like hp, but not that much... :D i luv ur random vids hayley!

[redribbonsERIN]

mugglenet has something else going for them...

:) loved it.

[pinkstarcloud]

SO TRUE FOR OUR FANDOM!

(:

[softballperson]

This is amazing. I was feeling kind of crappy today because I totally and completely embarrassed myself (though it was SO fun) dancing to Voldemort Fangirl at my school dance, but this made it 100% better. Yes they played Voldemort Fangirl. Because me and my friends are awesome enough to make it happen. And then I watched some 5AG. Then I decided "Hey! I'll go watch some of Hayley's other videos!" and I did!

[CoolColossalCanuck]

Wow I still have it. lol

[TheKidWhoLived]

haha i really like the back ground music

Harry and the Potters- voldemort cant stop the rock

[TomPeaceAndCo]

Im Confussed Kindaa.

[Tekkenfreek234]

lol, internet

[EscapingStasis]

I love the whole concept to this (because Harry Potter is my life), but every time I watch the video I crack up at "really biggie". For serious. Very cute.

[Jomoron]

Haha. So true.

[osmosis21]

long live katg

[Angieanything]

You have apparently always rocked... Yeah?

[stockman214]

hayley, it's interesting watching this vid (one of your first i suppose) and seeing how much you have improved your craft.

even here you can see obvious talent and comfort in front of the camera... but you have really honed your skills and now can boast to making truly well executed and fun to watch vids.

here's to progress! bravo

[gogglefroggle]

did you have a script because you never looked at the camera

[hayleyghoover]

Haha, no-- this was the first video I made with my webcam, and I had no idea where to look. It bothers me a lot to watch this. I just want to scream to myself, "It's up! UP!"

[j0ames]

That is exactly what I did with my first vlog! I just stared at myself in the screen. I really really hate looking at it now but can't delete it!

[BadAssBassGod]

Wizard Rock is most definitely not unique to the HP fandom. Music has been made about many beloved works of fantastical literature and film. For a long time. Like the Wizard of Oz. It's just that none of them were ever even nearly as famous.

[UmYeahCool]

OMG OMG OMG.

Andrew and Jamieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[LeftyHandedGuns]

So this has probably been asked before, but what's the name of the Wizard Rock song? lol

[notfromaway12]

same!

iwas introduced to your channel too from

charlieissocoollike.

(vlog tag game)

great!

[ANTHONYRAPPISAGOD]

...I actually was too...

If not for Charlie, I would never have heard of 5AG... :0!!!!

[EmilyTakesontheWorld]

this makes my heart smile.

<3

[mixymo]

haha aww awesome

wrock is the best

and you are such a mugglecast fangirl! =P

[chewyness24]

Hahaha I was introduced to yer channel through charlieissocoollike, and you're awesome!

[MrsStephanieSnape]

OMG YAY!!!!!!!! PPP!!!!!! I LOVE Neil :DDDDDD lol

I love the fan art :DDDD

And OMG I LOVEE Wizard Rock!!!!!!! I'm like OBSESSED!!!!!!!!

[hayleyghoover]

You too! <3333

[wannabeinhogwarts]

I love the dancing at the end, because I totally do that when I listen to wrock...only I don't film it.

[UmYeahCool]

So...I guess I'm one of the people who really doesn't understand you guys...because I'm definately not new to the HP fandom. But I was shocked to discover my lack of familiarity with those, um...guys associated with MuggleNet. (Besides gods) are they the creators?

[hayleyghoover]

They work for the site and its podcast.

[NeoWerFilm]

yey HP <3

[Ifancyharrypotter]

its funny cuz its true

[ISnoggedHarry]

I fucking love this.

[Bak3dB3an]

WOW.......no life lol, 'lifeless' haha

Just kidding, it's good that u have a passion. You don't go insane that way hehe blah.

[hockeybbot]

Nice video. I feel funny knowing this but the themed music is not only from harry potter, Filk is the sci-fi equivalent and has been around for a long time. They have HP songs in fact. Nice video again.

[LizelleIbns]

... I'm uploading some Harry and the Potters songs onto my iPod. Heehee.

[defyinggravity89]

hayley! are you going to terminus? haha i know this is really random but i was just wondering. i am so excited for it! woo! =D excellent vid!

[BrummieAvenger]

I'm a big Harry Potter fan, it's my 2nd love, but I'm not as mental(in a good way) as others, although I am an admirer of any type of erudite enthusiasm towards any type of venerable institution, (I love dictionaries.)

So I think this is all brilliant.

If you're wondering, my 1st love is British comedy, check it out.

[citygurl14]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY monty pytyon!! i have quite a few inside jokes centered around that...

[BrummieAvenger]

Hooray!! It's true that the world would be a much less funny place if it weren't for the Pythons.

"Now I'd just like to point out that this film is showing a distinct tendency to become silly!"

[redribbonsERIN]

I LOVE MONTY PYTHON!

[BrummieAvenger]

I think anyone who doesn't like Monty Python isn't to be trusted.

Isn't it funny that we're talking about Monty Python on a Harry Potter related video?

[redribbonsERIN]

It is funny. But totally jokes too.

[DLCBJE]

Epicly jokes.

Sorry, I thought I had to get in on this.

Circy Flythons Pything Montus.

AND I'M OFF.

[LizlikesHPalot]

i can't believe this is the first time i've seen this. vurrry nice. love it

[ThreeofThree]

haha I remember when my friend Danny had me listen to some wizard rock. I was in utter shock. XD

[devilishlypure]

I love our fandom. And yaaayyy I'm kind of in this one. I feel special!

-Lauren Myrtle

[Ifancyharrypotter]

You Are Special!=)

[soulastar]

how fun!

[hogwartsgirl96]

i love this video. i am a HUGE HP fan.

[Ariial]

Yaay Mugglecast! Jamie is so cute. What a great discovery I made yesterday: you, and since I am watching a big part of your videos, I should probably stop commenting now before I start looking obsessed with you. But I am not, only with Harry Potter!

[ladyamanda123]

LOL That was awesome! And highly educational...well...not to me, I'm already a fan...but trying to look outside the fandom and back in....excellent!

[jessicalestrange]

I'm pretty sure that you make my life.

[crazylittlebookworm]

this video just made me realize how awesome the harry potter fandom is. and how sad I am that deathly hallows is out...the end is near!

[HappilyHarry]

The Remus Lupins are the best but I love that Harry & the Potters song.

[gnomesweetgnome]

I LOVE HARRY AND THE POTTERS :)

[but i don't read the books]

[avadakedavra16]

I had to favorite this, it was so entertaining. Great video.

[MimeSquad]

I loved your video! I'm really involved in the Harry Potter fandom, also, but I thought your video was hilarious!

[emilypotter09]

haha girl this was so funny. And all so true :]

[gyteram]

lmao...ur such a nerd ;p in a good way...??

[magpie379]

def just saw harry and the potters in concert

[likeluce]

man i hate those people hu dont understand us! lol

[MugglePrefect]

aha yay! yah..6 more days till deathly hallows now *sniff*

[randomcrazy]

Lolololololol; this made me laugh. I'm a HP obsessive myself. ^.^

And this was a really good video.

WHY AREN'T YOU FAMOUS AND WHY DON'T YOU HAVE MILLIONS OF SUBSCRIBERS? D<

XDD Yeah, just my two cents. Also: Moaning Myrtles=God. =)

[Modo3000]

Im going to use this to show people what my life is really about, it is Amazing in every way, and if you (the non-hp obsessed I show) don't like it I dont care. I wish you the same fate as umbridge

[starsandsun101]

But Leaky does have John Noe, he's the funniest person ever. (Daaaaaawlish)

[huffleclaw91]

so do you like mugglenet or not? it sounds like you don't and then it sounds like you do

[hayleyghoover]

Haha-- yes, mugglenet is my news site of choice. :)

[arthurweasley]

Perfect.

(and there are currently 38 days left)

[MugglePrefect]

AAAAAAHA! so true! :) hp fan fer life

[dugiefrsh08]

ha ha i tell my techers and all my friends how many days are left till both come out everyday!..... needless to say they hate me for it lol

[potterfreak0515]

I applaud you! And at the time of this comment, there are 68 days until Deathly Hallows! I write it on my hand everyday and squee to my friends.

[Hippieelfchic]

aha, yes. Perfectly explained.

[HPobsession7]

I love this video.

[NotThatTrendy]

wow, hayley... you have to be the most punkrock person ALIVE.

[hayleyghoover]

No, Anna, Harry Potter is the most punkrock person alive. Or, like... Remus Lupin. If he were my teacher, it'd be more like gawk-at-mr.-gorgeous-werewolf class.

[Czechmetz]

Hahaha!! I love, love, love it!

[littlephoenix1115]

this was awesome...

you are awesome...

i like how soo right you were about fandom guys knowing the countdown dates... and you were really cute about knowing the number yourself

[utugenegene]

Funny !

[italktosnakes]

OMG you are totally totally awesome, and this video rocks. I am subscribing and we should be youtube buddies hahahaaa.

And might I add I am totally flattered and feel incredibly cool to be mentioned in this video. Wheeee. People think I am famous. :D

[xXxMagicalMandixXx]

This video pretty much says it all in under 3 minutes. That's amazing.

[hottiefacee]

i wish i was that cool.

i have a wizard rock band -_-

hahahaha (:

[harrypotter4life]

omg i cannot stop watching this

haha

[harrypotter4life]

i love this video

...and not just because i'm in it, lawlz.

that bit at the end about knowing how many dyas left and you just happening to know made me laugh for some reason.

[ifancythetrio]

Hahaha, yes, the real reason MuggleNet is popular.

And I'm totally in this video, that's awesome. I've been meaning to make a video like this for a while, I think you've inspired me.

[1YellowHippo]

hahaha, I liked the part about why mugglenet is good!!! too true.

[remibroadway]

94 days!
