  • INTENSE NOSTALGIA. God, I still know all the words to this song, and the references.

  • Weasley adoration! :D

  • you're actually a good singer

  • Oh... oh... That's incredible. To quote you: "What else do I have to say?"

  • I'm gonna have to look up every term in this video. lol

  • LMAO u should remake it with book seven thrown in . . .

  • I LOVE your voice! Although since I'm not a native english speaker I don't know all the abbreviations and stuff... I've gotta look them up ^^ Good job anyway! Loved this parody! I still cherich deeply about HP, it's been a great part of my life, just like now I'm into mangas ;)

  • I've really fallen out of the fandom of the last few years, but it's amazing how much of this I remember. Especially seeing as I'm a teenager and was only a kid when mosty of this was going on. *cries over loss of childhood*

  • Why'd you wright a song about my childhood/life? LOL

  • What happened to 'My Immortal' and 'Imma Wiserd'? Or 'You Life With Ron Weasley'?

  • Niiiice. I now want to write a Leviathan version. I'll credit you for giving me the idea when (read: if) I finish, it, OK? This is awesome!

  • I did Sing along.

    Harry Potter the first true book series of the internet age

  • I kind of want to write a Pokemon version of this...

  • This one still rocks. The fandom will never die, it won't ever be over for real.

  • i have to memorize this before I go see the final HP movie.

    Yeah, Harry Potter fandom is insane.

  • Singing this in line for the final movie tonight.

  • I'm listening to this and it's just flashbacks through my whole childhood and how I've been a part of most of those groups and all of the events like the premieres.

    And now, I have Pottermore to look forward to! (:

  • And soon we'll have Pottermore, whatever that is, to add to the list. :P

  • I just finished writing an HP parody to this song, so I'm looking up other people's rendition. This is exceptionally clever. You didn't just follow the story, but actual event following the phenomenon. Excellent.

  • I really love this song and this fandom. You're all awesome!

  • A Very Potter Musical!

  • @CharletteAndMo FOR THE WIN!!!!!

  • I feel like jumping up and down and chanting this xD

  • What about My Immortal?

    I would have thought Egogy would have been in here...

  • I'm not a fan and I agree that the Harry Potter fans can be a little crazy at times, but I will concede that their devotion is considerably more justified than the twi-tards. Even Stephen King thinks so.

  • Remember when FF.net used to have the NC-17 rating?

    Good times, good times.

  • No Enoby?

  • MAY I WRITE A HETALIA VERSION OF THIS.

    I'll credit you, of course ^^

  • I feel sad I missed the fandom. I was reading the books since they came out but I only really got into the fandom after the sixth book came out (since I didn't know much about online communities), and even then I only stuck to TLC :(

    lol I DO know who msscribe it though.

  • I think I'm going to be humming this to myself all day with the Harry Potter lyrics going round my head. It's brilliant :)

  • Lol so awesome :)

  • Looking back those last ten years... Lord, it's been a ride :o)

  • 46 people started the fandom.

  • This is one of the best things I found today! I danced and sung along with the chorus at the top of my lungs! I think I may have made my room mate angry, but I had a blast!

  • who wrote it?

  • i missed out on soo much becasue i didnt start reading till last year but now i get it and i love it

  • Oh Harry Potter how I love it.

  • Fucking epic.

  • i regularly come back and watch this just for nostalgia. I don't know why. I get depressed and miss back then so much every time. I'm rereading AtE at the moment though weeeee!

  • Oh my. The Harry Potter fandom... It's so insane, and it was such a big part of my life. Harry Potter still is. I love it to death. My kids will be forced to read Harry Potter, whether they like it or not! It's culture! <3

  • @elsaawesome same here

  • Comment removed

  • Loved this first time I heard it. Really cute. I miss new HP books coming out though.

  • I am so dissapointed in myself, I was unaware of HP until the first movie was made and didn't start the books until a month before the third movie was released. I read POA before the movie and from then on read all the books in advance, but I never went on any forums, or did any HP stuff online. I feel like I missed out on the best part of the fandom. :(

    I didn't find the online community until I became a Nerdfighter, and I regret it a lot. I'm too intimidated by the old Potterheads to join in!

  • @Wizbash Join us. We will welcome you with open arms even though you were a late bloomer.

  • @Wizbash

    I know this feeling ... Although I started reading Harry Potter when I was about five (I'm 18 now) And kept on reading and beeing a true Fan I was stuck in Germany where fandom is something weird you get bullied for...as I had to figure out in my early teenage years-.- I discovered wizardrock just three years ago or somewhat...but I have never been in a forum ...allthough I read and wrote fanfictions... I don't feel as If i belong to all that maybe because I'm stuck in germany-.-'

  • It is true. Our Fandom is insane. But we are still the best fandom out there. People just have to ignore the really insane ones...

  • And what's the "grave sex" thing?

  • @DixieManda There is a fanfic (do not ask me where because I do not know and will never read it again anyway) in which Harry and Sirius dig up James' body and have sex with it.

  • @JefferyAhearn Ha, thanks. For both the explanations. As for the 'grave sex' thing, that's... interesting.

    The "One True Way" refers to Remus and Sirius, right? Or is it just shipping non-canon ships in general?

  • @DixieManda One true way refers to the Ron/Hermione ship, I do believe since that was like the only ship throughout the series that was never in question. You knew that those two were going to get together at some point. It was like destiny.

  • @JefferyAhearn Good job there man.You really seem to know your fandom.:).I have a question for you now.:PWhat do they mean by Ginny Weasley stealing socks?Never heard of it before this song.

  • @SnitchSeeker There are several stories in which Ginny steals Harry's socks as a sign of affection. It was popular in fanfiction stories between 2003 and 2007. I noticed it a lot on SIYE in 2005.

  • @JefferyAhearn I know that fic!....though now I feel guilty for knowing it

  • I understand most of this song, which is suprising because I jumped on the HP nerdness train a little late.

    Can anyone explain the "Maury is a love child" thing?

  • @DixieManda First, jumping on the good ship does not refer to the Harry Potter series as a whole. It refers to the relationship pairing (known as a 'ship' in fanfiction) of Ron and Hermione. 'Maury is a love child' I do belive comes from a fanfic where Hermione marries Ron only later to find out he has a love child named Maury

  • I'm happy to say I only started taking part in the fandom after reading the last book. Glad I wasn't around for all the craziness. So far it's been fun, and a little scary.

  • I love it, but the chorus not having singing pissed me off.

    But yeah, someone should make similar songs for Hetalia: Axis Powers, Naruto and Twilight.

  • There are so many new people in the fandom, I want to force them all to watch this video...No one knows this stuff anymore. I feel so old. I miss these times. <3

    ... I definitely just looked this up so I could have a moment of nostalgia.

  • half the stuff is about the ms scribe/cassandra claire/fiction alley/sugar quill/gryffindor tower/charlotte lennox fiasco xDD awesome.

  • sorry but thats gay is the singer a balllkicked boy or a girl?

  • @brainboss14

    Girl :p

  • "Ginny Weasley stealing socks"

    "Draco wearing leather pants"

    "Shipping terror online"

    This is so going to my playlist :)

  • I lol'd so much at "Draco wearing leather pants"

  • Yo this vid was awesome!!!!! that was soooo cool!!!!

  • Draco wearing leather pants? O.O I feel like I missed out on something ;D But this vid made me feel... well, only a half-baked fan. I know only around 1/3 of the words&shorts mentioned T.T Probably being a non-english fan doesn't help >.<

  • @naoko100 Draco wearing leather pants refers to a fanfic by Cassandra Claire that was apart of the "Draco Trilogy". Don't bother looking for it, though. Cassandra removed all her stories after the plagarism scandal. Any version you do find is unauthorized and is probably not the original

  • @JefferyAhearn I found it once... and promptly vomited.

  • EEEEEE HARRY POTTER COMES OUT TONIGHT!

  • If only it was written after the park opened! :D

  • I remember when I was in third grade we had to do a book report. We could choose any book the teacher had. I was the last person to pick a book. And low and behold Harry potter book one and some otherbook was on the shelf. I picked Harry Potter. And I have to think that was the best choice I have ever made in my entire life. Now I am out of school and still a die hard HP fan. And I am proud to say I rode(still am) the crazy rollercoaster of Harry Potter fandom.

  • Someone should do this for Naruto

  • @librabeauty23 There needs to be one for every show. Legit. Naruto would be great though.

    If i had kept up with it still, I'd offer to write you one. I'm pretty good at parody writing... but I got into DN and FMA when shippuden started nothing about it, so I know close to

  • uhmmmmm... where can i download this????

  • hahahah APRIL FOOLS!!!!

  • This video is made of win! Love the HP fandom despite of some craziness. :P

  • Love it! I remember when I started reading it years ago~ Original fan here and I'll always love the books!

  • this-is-beyond-awsome! like this if your a proud member of the fandom :)

  • Oh gosh, the memories. Ever since I was 4, I have been obsessed with harry potter. and yes, the fandom is insane, but that's because it's so legenday. at least that's what I like to think. I see Harry Potter as a life-long obsession. I love the new lyrics XD they are amazing.

  • I waiting hours upon hours to get into the WWoHP on opening day. It was worth every minute. Listening to this again, after all of this time, I can't believe how much we've changed in the past 13 years. 12 in the States, though.

    THIS IS NEVER GOING TO END, NO MATTER WHAT!

  • This is amazing. Thank you for putting it up here.

  • You forgot My Immortal. 8D

  • @ChocolateBowl And Potter Puppet Pals. XD

  • xD Oh my god that was fantastic!

  • I'm so upset that I was too young to get into REAL fandom stuff until just recently. For a little reference point, I was seven when OoTP came out.

  • This is amazing, I love it so much. Well done, mate!

  • Can someone explain the Switchblade Kittens reference? Did they do something to piss off fandom?

  • @laurashambles The sang the first Wrock song "Ode to Harry"

    /watch?v=Gi9duM3N26Y

  • too bad this was written after the park opened in florida. i waited eight hours in line for that park :P

  • @chesiregirl 6 hours was good enough of a wait for me! Then you spent more than half your time in lines IN the HP area! It was worth to go to the opening though.

  • now that they finished filming i had to listen to it again. omg how many memories!! and there are many friends I found because of the fandom. (: i remember talking about DH on forum... reading fanfictions all the time... god it was posted in 2006, 4 years ago... I cant believe my childhood has come to an end. unbelievable. I cannot say in words how much the whole Harry Potter thing means to me. even my kids gonna read it lol :D but it wont be the same...*off to reread the books*

  • "Draco wearing leather pants" :D awrrr *__*

  • holy crap. i can't believe its been 4 years since this video was put up, i remember when i first saw it :o

  • Wow, coming back and listening to this after finding out a few things I missed in HP fandom really helps understand the song.

    Oh my Rowling. Harry Potter Fandom, you really are something. <3

  • Haha...brilliant! I love it! =)

  • god this never gets old~

    the only thing I never understood was tower of the queens...

    i still have no idea what that is

  • I first saw this song in my Flash Animation/Digital Graphics class it really inspired me =) love its beat!

  • what are sycophants?

  • is this seriously in order?

  • So many memories! Love this.

  • I used to listen to this song all the time a few years ago! It's AWESOME!

  • lol

  • Such a great song, it made me giggle

  • That's amazing, I was blown by the nostalgia bomb just now.

    I sticked around the Brazilian fandom for the most part, but the repercusions were the same, and I started to follow the fandom as a whole after OotP. So much wank and so much fun. Years of my life spent in forums and fanfics, and I still don't regret it.

  • This is amazing. It brings back memories.

  • This is so amazing. I wasn't even around for half of it, but I still feel nostalgic!

  • The best thing I have seen in ages. It's like ten years of my life... On youtube!

  • freaking AMAZING!!! this video always makes me happy :)

  • Wow. Really thi sis just awesome.

  • Awesome : )

  • AMAZING! love love love it! all the big name fans should sing it together like band aid but for Haiti, on saturdays big donation drive on live stream! be there guys,

  • hilarious

    Draco+leather pants=DOOM

  • Harry Potter 1-4

    start a fandom shipping war: The perpetual war between Hermione/Ron and Hermione/Harry Shippers that continues today.

    Nettiquette: Rules of etiquette for the Interwebz. Wikipedia it.

    Extricate: No idea

    HP4GU: Harry Potter for Grownups. Yahoo group.

    Canon-thumping: I assume this refers to fanfic writers that insist that unless the fic specifies that it is AU, then all characters and situations should be totally canon.

    Three-year wait: 3-yr wait between books 4 and 5...

  • Sorry for the double post but *sigh* does anyone else ever kinda miss before the 7th book came out? I loved the 7th book but I sometimes miss wondering what will happen and stuff...

  • That's why I've stalled reading it XD

  • @LikeSoTotallyRandom yes... TOTALLY. and i miss the mid parties. *sob*

  • @TheAMG123 At least theres still the movies. The midnight parties were AMAZING. One of my best memories actually

  • @LikeSoTotallyRandom: oh can you please tell me what its is like - I never went and I cannot regret it more than I do!!! Have you ever been to a midnight movie release because I am thinking of going to a DH one but I don't know if they even do that in Australia?

  • @kateclaudia I don't know if there would be in Australia but I don't see why not! If you get a chance definitely go. For the last movie we got there about three hours before midnight but we weren't bored (I was there with two friends). There were some people dressed up, but more people did that for the book release than the movie. At one point before the movie started, two guys stood in front of the screen and had an epic 'wizard duel' and one person read some pages from the book. :)

  • @LikeSoTotallyRandom: that sounds amazing! I would have loved to see that wizard duel :)

    When I read the books (for the first of many times :) ) I was young but we couldn't afford the internet so I just had no IDEA that any of these parties happened or they had midnight releases for books and movies and people dressed up because I just didn't know how big the HP fandom actually was!

    Can't wait until DH!!!

  • @kateclaudia I can. In fact I almost don't want it to come out because then the fandom will be over :( I suppose theres two parts though :D

  • @LikeSoTotallyRandom I read fanfiction every single day of my life, so even though I know everything about the real books, I can't stop wondering "what will happen". It never is as good as the real story, but sometimes I can fall in love with fanfiction plots so much that I almost forget Harry Potter is over.

  • @DrFrank1e I don't read much fanfiction, because once I found this AMAZING HP fanfic that was actually really great, and one day the author went mysteriously MIA... it was years ago but I still remember that story better than some real books, and the writer never updated or even left a note on their profile. :(

  • @LikeSoTotallyRandom I know, its terrible when they do that. That's why I always check if a story is completed before I start reading it. Which fic was that? Is it still unfinished?

  • @DrFrank1e I checked too, but it was actually the sequel that was unfinished. I think it was called reading between the lines, it was about this girl that found herself in the HP world but she accidentally screwed things up and prevented the books from ever being written, so in the sequel she was supposed to try and fix that.

  • I <3 Harry Potter!

    Idk what a few of these mean though, is there somewhere I can go to see them all and what they mean?

  • This was epic! Nice!

  • SLYTHERIN! I love the person singing this and whoever wrote it. And if they are the same person then I love them as if they were two people.

  • i didn't understand all of the references, but i think that My Immortal needed to be mentioned.

    unless i missed it from not paying attention.

  • Anvils and Delusional... hehe :-D

    Love this song (though there are quite a few references I don't understand.)

  • If only I knew what half the abbreviations in this meant....

  • yeah, me too...

  • GRYFFINDOR FTW.

  • Love it!!! :-)) i'm totally obsessed with Harry Potter

  • LOVEE THIS!! Oh, how awesome the Harry Potter fandom is.

  • Oh my...this is so ADORABLE, and true!! :D And it's making me awfully teary and nostalgic!!

    Harry Potter = BEST FANDOM EVER!! I'm so proud to have had the chance to grow with those books. We rock XD

  • TheNaive here.

    Crap, I can't listen to it. Error. I'll try later.

  • I just found this video and it's really interesting! I began reading the books when I was in 3rd grade and have been invested in the fandom ever since. I didn't get involved online until much more recently, though so some of these references are really confusing. Any chance someone could explain them?

  • send me a message with what you dont understand I'll help you out. Ive been in the fandom since I was 10 which has been 12 years now :P HP for life even got harry potter tattoos :P

  • Can you help me, I don't understand alot of it, I should I've been a fan since I was in 2nd grade, but I'm not that smart when it comes to abreverations

  • what is a mary-sue?

  • a mary sue is a main charcter in a fan fic that is never in the book, but some how be cause the focus of one of the main charcter, falls in love with them and saves the day. this make sense?

  • yes it does thank you...I have realized that sometimes mary sues are okay but sometimes they are annoying. 6 more days till the release. lol

  • It's a character in fan fiction without any flaws at all. It's usually a bad female author putting herself in a story without giving herself any flaws. They're usually the center of attention and all character love them for no good reason.

  • Mary-sue is a fanfiction refrence. It's when a new character is introduced to the previously igisting plot of Hary potter with no explinasion. Usually this is followed with the character being either A: All powerful, B: Every cannon (Character writen by original author) character falls in love with them, or a combination of the two. It is the bane of all fanfiction readers.

  • I was really pissed when Sirius died, but I'm so getting two dogs, and call them Sirius 'Snuffles' Padfoot Black, and Remus Moony Lupin. ^^

    My children shall be forced to read it XD

    Great song! And yeah, we've enjoyed the ride :3

  • I have a cat named Lupin too! :)

  • Cute :)

    I wanna get a cat called Tonks, because she rocks :P

  • No way! I've also decided to get a black dog, Padfoot, and a silver or white-ish dog- Moony!

  • Cool =D

    Long lost Potter Twins XD

  • Haha, yes, that's brilliant! :D

    And I'm a Hufflepuff by the way.

    (Not that it really matters, it just seemed relevant)

  • Gryffindor =3

  • Ah, good times.... good times, indeed....

  • We've been through sooooo much hahahahah <3 FANTASTIC VIDEO

  • That was great!

  • It is missing My Immortal, but apart from that this was truely orsum :D

  • This song is missing d69! Holla if you remember what that was!

  • Pumkin Pie yaaaaay!

    Lol, there should be a page with all these references. I was there for some of this but not others. It's all so amazing though. The HP fandom ride has been an amazing rollercoaster.

  • this is totally amazing I almost fell outa my chair lauging 10 outta five stars!

  • This is amazing!

  • You are awesome.

  • This is so awesome! *Replays it over and over*

    8D

  • I love this. i would love to cover it for my band, kwikspell. is that okay? please let me know ASAP!

  • aint no crazy like hp crazy.

  • This video is awesome.

    People say Harry Potter is just a fad...

    I sincerely hope they're wrong.

    No, I KNOW they're wrong.

    TWILIGHT is a fad.

    Harry Potter will live forever! I will make my kids read it; I will make my sister's kids read it; I will become a teacher and assign it in class, making kids study it like I did!

    I'm sure all you guys will, too?

  • Yessss definitely!! I'm naming all my pets after my favorite Harry Potter characters (I want a dog so bad to name after my favoritee- Padfoot. If I get another dog he'll be Moony). I want to name my kids after Harry Potter characters too.

    I will always read the series. I also want to be a teacher, and I'll base the curriculum on the House points and Cup.

    And I need to go to a wrock concert. That's one of my life goals.

    This fandom never ends <33

  • Yeah I'm totally naming my daughter Fleur and when I get my own house I'm going to buy HEAPS of fish and name them after HP characters because they don't cost a lot. Yes I will FORCE my kids to read it! And I will disown them if they ever say Twilight is better than HP. As if, I mean seriously!?

    I loved this song! Haha I'm orange crush :) But I got really sad with the Sirius part.

  • YOU GO GIRL!

    XD

  • @lologirl419 EPIC FAIL. I hate both, but Harry Potter is worse than My Immortal.

  • @lologirl419 YEAH!!!

    

  • Epic win with this song.

  • I-N-S-A-N-E. If you had to descibe Potter fandom in one word, that would be it. Trumps every other fandom in terms of sheer psychosis. But yes, it *is* awesome :)

  • ¡Oh, sí! Todas las teorías, la expectación, los shippers, los reviews, las Mary Sues, los actores cambiando sus voces, las entrevistas a J.K., ¡los libros nuevos! Y todavía estamos aquí.

    Oh yeah! All the theories, the expectation, the shippers, the reviews, the Mary Sues, the actors changing their voices, the J.K. enterviews, the new books! And we're still here.

    Joanne Killer Rowling, you took Sirius away from us, but we'll never stop bringing he alive again! Long live to the HP-FANDOM!
