Harry Freaking Potter

[plushalligator]

@katyflynnium well thats freaky, same here. same birthday and everything. wasnt it weird to see posters saying "it all ends" with july 15th on it last year? i had a laugh.

[supertucan20]

The cords are G,C, and D.

....

[ElphieGalindafied]

@supertucan20 Pretty sure that was done on purpose.

[katyflynnium]

At least more than one a Harry Potter movie came out on or around 15th July, which is my birthday. Harry Potter will always be something I associate with happy occasions, and my birthdays. I love being a nerdfighter. <3

[HarryPottergeek12000]

i love it!! ur awesome <3

[stewey2000]

im sure you heard by now, but no its not it. JK is coming out with another book

[frootinator]

The first Vlogbrothers Video that i saw was Accio Deathly Hallows... that made me a nerdfighter, and i'm so thankful for you guys, i love all nerdfighters in all realities...

Thanks,  J

DFTBA

[jaeisrandom12]

I thought this was going to be an AVPS cover, but then I was dissapoint. But then again the song was awesome so yay!

[idiotejit234]

noticed: you said it helped you learn more than G C and D but those were the chords you used the whole song :P

[FosDoNuT]

The first time I heard this song was live at LeakyCon. So awesome!!!

[jah060689]

One can hope.

[jellybelly98rox]

"you're Harry freakin' potter, you don't understand, you're a legend man, to us all!" no? Ok

[willturnerismybf]

@jellybelly98rox every son and daughter SAFE from you youknowwho! all because of you, you were small but i wonder if you can recall

[plushalligator]

my birthday :) BEST. PRESENT. EVER!!!

[Jennatori7]

Hank should cover Harry Freakin Potter from AVPS now because he got my hopes up.

[chexmixultimate]

I'm very particular about lyrics so I was a little iffy about a couple of them in there, but melodically this is my favourite favourite favourite!

[thosefabuloussocks]

Starkid? Starkid? Starkid? No. Disappointed. Liked anyhow.

[yknowthatgirl]

Hank! You tricked me!

[JAMBO4358]

This, months ago, was the first Vlogbrothers video I watched.

[starkidrules7056]

I thought he was going to do a cover of AVPS. I am dissapointed.

[accionerimonstarkid]

I have all those posters behind him :D

[rback057]

This was posted on my birthday. :D

[turtlefan9111]

I have every poster behind him.

[doublevlogcation]

I was hoping for Harry Freaking Potter from AVPS, but awesome as always Hank

[grangerdanger007]

ohhh he's got the harry potter poster book thats gotta be where he got it from! ive got all of those too, i'd recognize them a mile away. XD horray for leakycon! :D

[artyfarty1996]

WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR REMUS/TONKS/WHEREWOLF POSTER?! I want it. So much.

[AlexanderTheNerdling]

Evanna lynch XD eeeeeeeEeeeEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! (fanboy squeal)

[JL4Pope]

You're Harry Freakin' Potter!

We don't prefer Gandalf,

Merlin, or Oz,

You're a whole lot hotter!

-AVPS

[OwlWithNoTree]

I have that same book that all of those posters came from!!

Almost all of them are up on my wall :3

Brilliant song!

[accionerimonstarkid]

@OwlWithNoTree Same! I put all of them on my walls :D

[terrastar12]

Hank used the Ice Cream Chords for this song....I think.

[Tawnyfur]

One of my favourite Hank Green Harry Potter songs yet. :)

[deirdrekearney]

Giraffes have no vocal cords!

[Xshinz123X]

This is so catchy!! Love it! :)

[StigGT2]

Video is called Harry Freakin Potter.

Hank said Accio Guitar.

Squeegasm.

[cookiemonsta188]

I have all the same Harry Potter posters that you have! You probably got the same poster book I did! Cool! I still have that poster book, it has no posters in it though, all the posters are on my wall :)

[hammy8oy]

Hank is awesome

[Potterfreakize]

I just wanted to ask whether you like Daniel Radcliffe?

[emmaissocoollike1]

I thought this was going to be an Avpm cover, I was disappointed when it wasn't, but then it turned out to be totally awesome!

[youcantgotopigfarts]

I got super excited because I thought it would be an AVPS cover... I was disappointed for about 10 seconds, but then I recovered 'cause this song is totally awesome (I wish I could indicate me breaking out into AVPM song).

[halfbloodprincess67]

DId anyone else see this and think that it would be a cover of the AVPS song by Darren Criss called Harry Freakin Potter?

[jellybaby345]

@halfbloodprincess67 so im not the only one!

[paperlily7]

Where can i get this song!!?!?!?!?!?!

[legslikelegolas]

i think i will stop procrastinating now

[graybutcolorful]

this is the first time I've heard this song since my post-Potter depression. Let's see if I can listen to it without crying.

[stude444]

Whoa! d-minor, crazy.

[shewontshutup]

yeah, this didn't make me tear up.

:|

[bubsisbetter]

Okay, I'm gonna go watch AVPM again.

[Aprower]

This is my favorite of your songs. Even four months later I can't stop listening to it.

[heyyheyyzzbuds]

For Halloween I am going to be Nymphadora Tonks. If you don't know who she is, you are NOT a true HP fan. P.S. I have bright pink and purple hair

[lulo354]

Where is the Whovian nerdfighter like???? Unite!!!! DFTBA

[Double2Edged]

"Accio Guitar"

"Harry Freaking Potter."

We need Hank to become a Starkid, now. Don't Forget to be Totally Awesome! STARKIDNERDFIGHTERS UNITE! <3

[4LiveLifeWithLove4]

Okay, just so you know: I'm watching through every Vlogbrothers video so I've never seen this one before. Second: I am a HUGE Starkid fan, and all you others out there will no why I spazzed out when the title said Harry Freaking Potter!!!

[longdistancebamboo]

Baby boomers, gen x, gen y, and now gen HP

[ElphieGalindafied]

@longdistancebamboo Except that people from all of the previously mentioned generations would make up that HP generation. The HP fandom isn't just one particular generation. People from all different ages are in this fandom, and many more will be in the future. I don't know about you, but I'm planning to have my future children grow up on HP just as I did.

[greeneggsandsam93]

nothing like harry potter will ever happen again in our lifetimes, maybe never again. and we can't let it end

[plutoisaplanetorelse]

It will never be over. Not as long as those who remain are loyal.

[ShalingahyphenLing]

I love the bit about Daniel pretending to fight the war

[lizzibellroar]

And now the tears start. Again.

[theadorable1205]

I couldn't stop thinking about 'is this it?' by the strokes...

[4lifeNerdfighter]

@natdot2804 His ulcerative colitis.

[SuperCoolFunnyVideos]

Freaking amazing song. Thanks for creating this. So perfect.

[jellybaby345]

222 dislikess? thanks Hermin :P

[jellybaby345]

@stephstarkidweasley YES!!!

[matzobalIsoup]

I cried almost the whole movie.... :( but it was sooooo good!

[camoblackhawk]

it is nice to know us harry potter fans find this is most definitively awesome

[Narglesonamistletoe]

I just wanted to say that, I'm also hugely in debt to Harry Potter. You see, after i had finished reading the last Harry Potter book, I wanted a Harry Potter interested friend. So at Girl Scouts, i asked a girl what her favourite book was. She said Harry Potter. We've been best friends ever since.

[camoblackhawk]

the last movie was awesome

[geeze96]

i would kill for those posters :/ i cant find any where i live :/

[AppicNick1221]

Is it just me, does this happen to you, when I play it in my head I cant end with 'this ain't it' I always have to end with 'and now I'm at leakycon

[madforbooks]

"Accio guitar!"? "Harry Freaking Potter"? SO MANY STARKID REFERENCES! This is TOTALLY AWESOME! :D

[xILoveLancelot]

creys this is amazing. rewatchin/re-reading yay

[ThisisAidan]

I think I need to go re-watch Deathly Hallows. :)

[TheProjectWeird]

Would be nice if Pottermore accepted me....

The weird thing is that I didn't care about it untill I found the quill, out of luck!

[Kristina4568]

Yuo say Accio the same way I say it!! :D

[ryukthekid]

I can't stop listening to this!

[KzarGames]

isnt it "Ackio" and not "Assio" O.o

[ShilohProductionsUSA]

@KzarGames No, the movies are wrong.

[ThisisAidan]

@KzarGames Yes, it is. It was bothering me too. Haha

[Narglesonamistletoe]

@KzarGames There is Assio, and Ackio and Acsio. I prefer Acsio, but i think Assio is the correct one.

[affionge]

holy vlogbrothers you can sing!

[AlwaysAPotterhead]

Bravo Sir, bravo. <3

[ryukthekid]

Awesome. Love the way you sing.

[harrypotterislife95]

Is this song going to be on Ellen Hardcastle?

[patrickai]

I WANT THIS ON ELLEN HARDCASTLE :"(

[AsplundhFamily]

I need Pottermore now.

[yourworstnightmar231]

@AsplundhFamily yeah, i know, me to, i'm one of those people who dressed up to go see the movie on opening day, it was funny when i ran into these nerd hating people from my school dressed as luna lovegood

[TheProjectWeird]

@AsplundhFamily I know!!!!

[EmoWolfMaster]

is there a place where i can download this? if someone knows please tell me!

[birthdaygirl1126]

ok Nerdfighters my mind was just blown! by an episode of Doctor Who! the episode is called "the shakespeare code" and in it the Doctor mentions Harry Potter!!! and that he cried while reading the seventh book!!!! my nerd worlds just colided in fantastic awesomeness!!!!!! all i have to say is MIND BLOWN!!!!

[JonesIantoJones1312]

@birthdaygirl1126 Oh my god, that episode is amazing! EXPELLIARMUS!!!!

[RuthieAndHerTardis]

@birthdaygirl1126 although when that episode was aired the book wasn't out yet...

[birthdaygirl1126]

@RuthieAndHerTardis yeah but hes a timelord! so he could have read all of them before they came out. you know? and i think that was kinda supposed to be like pre-release hype too bcause hes like "wait till you read the seventh book" and like it hadn't come out yet!

[spinnever]

now i have two songs stuck in my head. one was in this video

[miyluv1]

This is my new favroite song written by Hank!! I loved it!

[Simpsonrach]

I LOVE HARRY POTTER

[ryanm6060]

Beautiful voice! (Not to mention catchy song.) You lost me at some of the yelling parts though.

[RichartI]

He reminds me of Tobuscus :)

[joepic85]

If harry potter taught you how to not just play C, D, and G.. Then why are you only playing C, D, and G??

[mearaskye]

@joepic85 oh, but it's D MINOR! xD

I definitely noticed that right after that line.

[AccountTredecim]

@mearaskye I did, too! Awesome :D I was just about to comment about it, but I decided it was best to check and see if someone else noticed first.

[sensaeneo100]

its funny because it is essentially C D & G

[wallflower357]

I HAVE THOSE POSTERS! I find this really exciting.

[ThePoofer15]

Wow that song was good! Have ya'll seen A Very Potter Musical or A Very Musical Sequel?

[FlyingPigscanfly711]

i have one of those posters!!! EPIC HAPPY!!!!!! ^_^

[cougar33333]

does anynoct else know that he is playing d minor c and g?

[aethersimiles]

@cougar33333 Well, I mean, he said that that's what he was playing...

[ChibiClover1]

His gutar says "this machine pwns noobs"

[hedgehog4808]

i have the same posters!!!!!!

[princessspdl]

I think everyone was expecting to sing AVPS... =)

[Tubekid200]

keep pressing 1 for a finding nemo moment!

[sophers444]

but you did just play D C and G chords...

[CompulsiveOrigami]

@sophers444 In this song yes, but he knows other chords as well. (For the record, that's a D minor, not a D major :])

[FloatOn23]

What does his guitar say D:

[CompulsiveOrigami]

@FloatOn23 "This Guitar Pwns n00bs" after the famous guitar played by Woody Guthrie, which says "This Machine Kills Fascists"

[azh0lez]

i wanna push his glasses up his nose..

[Kristina4568]

221 people tried "Accio Guitar" and it didn't work...

Stupid Freaking Muggles... ;)

[mandyadf]

FRENCH THE LLAMA! I got a book with all those posters in it the day before the hp premiere... one of the posters contained almost every character from the series but Tom the bartender... did you try and figure out who was missing too???

[seturner12]

AVPM is one of the best things ever besides Vlogbrothers!

[KiaraLightcore]

Some people see this as a song about Harry Potter. I see it as a song about pies.

[FrankyTheKat]

Harry Potter will never end. The movies and the books will but the fandom will never die out.

[minipinkelegleek]

"Did somebody say Harry Potter? Rita Skeeter here, from the Daily prophet, reporting to you LIVE dear readers, from platform 9 3/4, where I just happened upon the original Wiz-kid himself, Harry Potter, the Lad who Lived!! Now, let's you and me get on the level, HP, where've you been for the last ten years? Are you excited to go to hogwarts? Are you frightened for your life?"

Yes, I memorized this whole dialogue... :) but it's too long to put in a comment

[scoobyfan1224]

Harry Potter will never be gone as long as people here are still loyal to him. <3 So this ain't it.

[SadlyRandomSarah]

I thought this had something to do with the Starkid show A very potter musical ( really harry freakin potter was in AVPS, but who cares really) due to the title...I had a fan girls moment...so thumbs up for fangirly confusion...?

[bluepickledsnakes]

I'm a Potterhead, and I approve this video.

[Randomex8]

british films FTW!!!!

[bluepickledsnakes]

@Randomex8 Awwwe yeah.

[howisitnot0]

I LOVE YOUR SHIRT.

[MustBeAWeasley]

This is the first song to make me cry since "Stole" by Kelly Rowland.

[CaremelWithABite]

i like how he doesn't say accio like they do in the movies because theyr WRONG!

[TheVozderazon]

here is spelled wrong towards the end of the lyrics...sorry, i had to. i loved the song though!

[gracefulnerd]

You cannot honestly say that you have not watched A Very Potter Musical/Sequel! I just watched a video of you dancing like a crazy person on a stage containing the likes of Evanna Lynch and THE ENTIRE CAST OF AVPM/S at Leaky Con!!!!

[gracebieber98]

Wow u kno ur a big harry potter fan when u say accio wrong!!

[Syvelocin]

@gracebieber98 You can't say Accio wrong actually. They're all debatably correct because they've all been used in some form. The American audiobooks say it with 'ss,' while in the movies it is 'kk.' However Stephen Fry says it 'ks.' There really isn't a right and wrong pronunciation.

[climbordie7]

Sorry I had to laugh when you had a goofy grin plastered on your face when saying John was sick? lols

[GaryOldmanfan23]

I love you man! really cool

[Chippiej]

1. What is the song called?

2. WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT BECAUSE IT DECREASES THE SUCK IN MY WORLD

[EmoWolfMaster]

DUDE I WANT THIS ON MY MP3!!!!!

[MustBeAWeasley]

Is there somewhere to download this song yet?

[zakesterly]

you need glasses that stay on your nose ;)

[lexchristina99]

I HAVE THOSE HARRY POTTER POSTERS!:-D

[PaakVsCaroline]

Hank, your voice has gotten amazing. I would never have said so, but when you started making songs you weren't the best singer. You've definetly gotten much better.

[LoBlazor]

no comment on PotterMore???

(///_^)

[KIRAKIRACHINGCHING]

I have the same posterbook.

[AprilWaterston]

Anyone else think of 'A Very Potter Musical' when they read the title of this video? :P

[MsTeg10]

i want your poster wall too!!

[auriianna]

To watch as Daniel Radcliffe valiently pretends to fight your war. Sooo true X3

[pokecrazygal]

here is what i say about the movie. IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THE BOOK! GO BY THE BOOK PEOPLE!!!! FRED DESERVED MORE!!!!

[Ajordan111]

I have ALL those Harry Potter posters on my wall too!! :D its from a poster book, I bought mine at Borders.

[pokecrazygal]

@Ajordan111 wh-wh-wh you have them all! when can i buy one!

[Ajordan111]

@pokecrazygal Try amazon and type in Harry Potter Poster Book, I have the link I'll message you.

[pokecrazygal]

@Ajordan111 thankies!!!

[mathstalio]

This is NOT IT. And never will be.

[lianneinthebigworld]

This song made me cry... again XD Anything Harry related seems to be doing that these days ^^

[TheIzzyAsuka]

I was looking at the posters in the back of the video thinking how familiar they were. Then, I remembered that I bought the exact same poster book for my Potter Party a month and a half ago. And that I was staring at most of them at that moment. I feel cool.

[dustymew]

I read the title and freaked, screaming. "STARKID POTTER! OMG ITS A VERY POTTER MUSICAL!" then I was greatly disapointed... :(

[HausOfMousie]

I just got that poster book!!!!

[thor2003to2009]

To be honest, Harry Potter didn't really teach me much of anything.....

[janinabnm]

OMG I stayed at that hotel when I went to florida O.o

[katiekalokass]

I have all thoes posers aswell =D Great song!

[thesuzymonster]

holyFRICK, Hank. This song is beautiful.

[jazzelineknox]

this song is making me cry so much more than i did when i watched the movie, it's ridiculous.

[myvampireweekday]

you say accio like an american personn

I say akio not asseo.

this is the most boring comment ever.

sorry.

[GinngaRon]

I have the same posters from the same harry potter poster book

[doodlehh]

Oh, Hank. Why must you cling to the pronunciation "ah-see-oh"? Listen to the audiobooks.

Also, you are awesome.

[DarkestFaye]

Best frickin' Harry Potter song eva!

[OMFGexpedience]

No, this ain't it. They'll be sucking the brand dry for another decade- then it's over.

[badwandproductions]

LOL that background is AWESOME!!!!
