  • this is my favourite song of all time, it makes me cry and i never cry :(

  • The thing of love most about this song is how well it goes with one of the smartest things in harry potter. Harry, Voldemort and Snape all grow up feeling unwanted and abondoned then find a home at hogwarts.

  • This is the song I hold onto, hoping that one day I can sing it and mean every word.

  • This makes me cry everytime!!!!!

  • this must be how it feels to have a home

  • one bloody dislike!! way to go herman! :/

  • I'm not crying, I've just been staring at my screen for too long that's all.

  • Every time I hear this it makes me cry. Harry was the first person who I ever felt like I could tell my secrets to, and he's come with me since 3rd grade. Without Harry, I wouldn't have followed the path to the one thing that makes my life worth living: my writing. Thank you Harry and thank you Jo, for making me feel that no matter where I am or who I'm with, there's always a place where I know I have a home.

  • *cries*

  • This is how I feel whenever im with my best friend Allie <3 and my boyfriend Brian ^^ they both make me feel like I finally have a place to belong... I have a home.... but I dont really BELONG like I do with them.... the only problem is I dont think they like each other very much XD

  • Omigosh. Love this song.

    Love it more with the Hat shouting Gryffindor at the end.

    Adds to the effect.

    But doesn't take away when it's not there.

  • I get a lump in my throat when he sings '...and I'm trying not cry'. I love how Starkid have ridiculous, fun songs and serious, well-written ones too.

  • casually nailing the 12 second note at the end..

  • I had my headphones on at full volume when he started to sing really loud at the end.. So I screamed; 'Ouch, Darren, that's too much! Take it down a notch, will you?' to which my friend in another room thought I was having sex.. x)

  • Why am I watching this? It's just gonna bring the Proud Mama Umbridge tears back. (Seriously, though, I spent all yesterday fangirling over Darren being on Broadway.)

  • It is 7:25. Darren started H2$'s first show 25 minutes ago. Listening to this, crying my eyes out. *le creys* #BreakALegDarren!

  • I haven't lived the best life, and I've never really had a home. That is, until I started Theatre.

    Starkid is the main reason I got into it, and it's changed my life completely.

    Thank you, Starkid, for helping me find my home.

  • This song is so beautiful :')

    But I kind of spoil it b shouting 'GRYFFINDOR! GRYFFINDOR!'at the end :/

  • 1 dislike? Thanks Herman!

  • I told myself I wasn't gonna cry..

    Then I started listening to this song.

    I can't listen to this song and not cry.

  • The Starkids captured the essence of the books better than the films did.

  • This song reminds all of us of our childhoods. The magic of Hogwarts is sure to live on through each of us and through out the generations to come.

  • Oh crap, I've got sand in my eyes...

  • "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."

    This song makes me cry.

  • I don't know about anyone else, but Harry Potter honestly gives me reason to keep living. I have met so many amazing people through Harry Potter, and the series itself reminds me that love conquers all, and that there's always something greater out there.

  • I saw Darren at Lincoln Center yesterday he played this. :D amazing....I love avpm

  • Every time I hear this song, the first movie ALWAYS plays through my mind! This song makes me cry because like Harry, we all found home at Hogwarts!

  • "whether you come back by page or by screen hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home" that sentence and every line in this amazing song sums up how i feel about my life since i found dog training and starkid and managed to find some friends. so it makes me kinda sob :'(

  • This is the exact epiphany I had when I found Starkid. This song sums it up. Perfectly. Must be how it feel to have a home.

  • I need a tissue... <:'(

  • This song makes me want to cry - it's so touching. It perfectly captures the feeling I think Harry has. :')

  • This song sounds like something that would be in the movie 'Lady and the Tramp 2' :)

  • so, on the other starkid videos, there r funny comments and posts of quotes. on this video, almosy every comment is some deep comment that makes me wanna cry. thanks ;) im glad 2 know im not the only person who tears up at this song

  • At Hogwarts, nobody is dead until every voice that speaks their name and recalls their life falls silent. Nobody is broken until they make the decision not to ask for help.

    Hogwarts is not just a place of magic because of the spells and potions. Hogwarts is a place of magic, because it loves its students, and its students love Hogwarts. That will be true forever.

  • This song is so amazing. It really captures, more than any other song, how much Hogwarts really meant to Harry. I mean, AVPS pokes fun at Harry's pre-hogwarts life a lot (and it's funny) but this song actually allows us starkids to realize how heartbreakingly amazing it is for Harry to actually feel like he belongs somewhere. <3 this!

  • this song makes me think of tumblr, Harry Potter, Starkid, Glee, and all of the fandoms I'm in. I've found myself, made friends, made memories, laughed, cried, squealed with you guys. Starkid is my home, and I couldn't thank them more for that.

  • yeah its so cool and its totally awesome <3 love this song

  • Why did I read the comments? Now Im all sad and miss the old days, ya know, before Twilight and Justin Beiber, when real men defeated the greatest evils in the world instead of sparkling with stipper glitter. -.- Im part of the Harry Potter Generation, I learned to read off it, I was there the day Harry Potter 7 came out, at midnight, I was there the day the movie came out, 12:02 AM.

  • Hogwarts will never be gone guys. It will always be there, waiting to welcome us back with open doors and a feast in the Great Hall, so long as we still can call it home. Remember that whenever you feel that it's over.

    Hogwarts will always be home to me. Always <3

  • this song makes me sad that harry potters over:(

  • @HannaahDarlinn SHUUUN THE NON BELIEVER!! Harry Potter will never be over!!!

  • Never in my life have I wanted something so badly...

  • Such a beautiful song. Thank you, Darren, Starkid. Thank you.

  • Okay, so, I've never had many friends, and I've never been close to my family. I've never had a place that I really felt like I was 'home'. I was border line depressed, and had contemplated suicide. I was also developing anorexia.

    Then I met Starkid fans on facebook.

    They've become my closest friends. They have made me happy. They are the reason I'm still here on this Earth. They are the reason I'm trying to recover from anorexia. They are my family.

    This is how it must feel to have a home.

  • @bluerakuchan All I can give you is a thumbs-up, so a thumbs-up I shall give you. Good luck <3 <3

  • @bluerakuchan i wish you good luck as well........ starkid and it's fans are always there for you! x

  • @bluerakuchan Good luck from me too :) starkid fans are always there to be friends to each other

  • @bluerakuchan We are all here for you, good luck with your recovery <3<3<3<3

  • @bluerakuchan

    I don't have it nearly as bad as you, but i know what it feels like to be alone.... I have a loving family that cares about me but i never had many friends and i was always the target of bullying. i was never truly happy... that is until i found STARKID! No matter how sad or own i might be, STARKID never fails to make me smile!! If I'm ever having a bad day or feeling depressed, all i have to do is listen to the wonders of STARKID, and i don't feel so alone!!!! <3

  • @bluerakuchan Can I just give you a hug? That is how my life was until I started watching AVPM and AVPS. STARKID brought a smile on my face and made me feel warm.

  • @bluerakuchan *Virtual Huggles*

  • Goosebumps <3

    I love this song so much. This one and Those Voices give me goosebumps :3

  • I was always a strong little girl. I had to be. And the Harry Potter books kept me going. I rarely cried (in front of people) and I was as tough as diamond.

    On my eleventh birthday, I curled up in a ball and sobbed because my Hogwarts letter didn't come.

    And I am not ashamed of that :)

  • i want 2 go badly now :'( why can't life be like the harry potter books and a giant will come and take me 2 a special school? (wow, that sounds weird.....)

  • Been listening to this on repeat pretty much all day.

  • Out of all of the starkid songs, this one brings me back to the books the most. When the Sorting Hat is yelling "Gryffindor!" with the bells tolling, I just want to curl up and read Sorcerer's Stone in a nice quiet room again :]

  • This song literally gives me goosebumps...it's the first home Harry ever knew...this is my childhood, and this is my childhood's home. Hogwarts.

  • This song makes me cry. :'( But it is sooooo beautiful. :')

  • 1 dislike, thanks Aunt Petunia

  • this song is so beautiful :)

  • The 1 dislike is the person that Hogwarts rejected ....

  • This warms my heart. Makes me think of how much Hogwarts ment to Harry.

  • I need the piano to this! Anyone?

  • Who is the one guy that dislikes this

  • 1 dislike? Draco you little shit!

  • 1 dislike? THANKS, HERMIONE!

  • "To have a hoooooo-"

    GRYFFINDOR!

    GRYFFINDOR!

    GRYFFINDOR!!!

    "oooommmeeeeeee!"

  • @candygirl725 I cried my eyes out when I heard that for the first time.

  • One freaking dislike?! Thanks alot, Herman.

  • Why should a guy like me cry over a guy like potter._.

  • @FeelingGoodFilms Because Harry Potter has touched just about everyone in some way. And it's an amazing song sung by an amazing person. Because we can call relate to it. Because there's a little Harry in us. Yeah, that's right. I"m being all philosophical on 3 hours of sleep.

  • @Ithilfey Thank you. :')

  • @FeelingGoodFilms Hey, there's no crime in feeling. *hug*

  • I'm trying not to cry...ah too late :'(

  • i honestly think that someone was saw this song didn't have a dislike so they hit it just to cause a stir among comments

  • I CANT BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE COULD DISLIKE THIS SONG!

    but some starkid hater has probably gone through all of the songs and disliked, coz they all have 1 dislike!!! Its not fair, this song makes me cry even thought "Im trying not to cry"

    eep opp ork ah ah <3

  • @starkidshani All I have to say is...THANKS HERMIONE.

  • 1 person doesn't know what its like to have a home

  • Comment removed

  • 1 person is a butt trumpet...THANKS HERMIONE!

  • "And I'm tryin' not to cry..." the first time I saw AVPS I teared up at that line... it sounds genuinely like Darren is choked up awwww

  • If there would be one thing I could change about anything from Starkid... it would be the fact the soundtrack version of this doesn't have the "GRYFFINDOR!" at the end. It loses a lot of its beauty without it.

  • 1 dislike? thanks Hermione...

  • Everytime he says "I'm trying not to cry" ... my eyes water up. This whole song is so damn touching. 

  • I'll be at home once i get my pottermore email (;

  • "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home." ~ JK Rowling <3 :')

  • i find that JK's creation of Hogwarts is very clever in that it taps into the dream of every child, that there is something bigger, better and sparklier than their little world. JK managed, more than any other author, to give children that through Hogwarts - something to dream about that will stay with them - us - all our lives. And if that isn't true magic, I don't know what is.

  • @swansong95

    yeah.. that just made me tear up lol. i wasnt a harry potter maniac as a kid because i never understood anything in the books. but now that im older (18) i understand it more. lol so im starting to get into it. and your totally right. these stories give kids hope, and fuels their imagination. im mean seriously. even at being an adult now i still wish hogwarts was real!... JKR is a genious for coming up with this amazing story about friendship and finding your place. :) <3 <3

  • @swansong95

    also.. the starkids do an amazing job at portraying in 2 (going on 3) plays what JKR wrote about in 7 books. kudos to them and theyre amazing acting and singing abilities :)

  • one person doesn't have a home.

  • Oh damn, I'm crying! Dx

  • Couldn't help but think "GRYFFINDOR! GRYFFINDOR! GRYFFINDOR!" at the end.

  • This explains me alot..I may have parents and siblings but I've always felt alone and a outcast..just imagining a place like Hogwarts to have as a home..wow but of course Hogwarts isn't real..well I wish.

  • @NEKOK1TTY I agree completely. I have parents and siblings, and a "home", but I feel alone, too. I wish Hogwarts was real.

  • @vickycara :) yeah...shame it isn't. Well Hogwarts will always be in our hearts~

  • @NEKOK1TTY your right, no matter what, we'll always have a home at hogwarts.(:

  • @vickycara And we will pass the magic to our other generations!

  • Damn Darren, I need a cigarette now!

  • This sounds like an inspirational Disney song. Love it :)

  • @Kbells88 Starkid kicks Disney's ass! LOL!

  • @CelevonTeardust Yeeah, true

  • There's one dislike because you forgot to text Umbridge back. :D

  • 1 dislike? THANKS hERMIONE!

  • I'm going to wait for Pottermore to officailly open in October. I'll be more grateful that way. I love this song. It's like Harry's angst over his parents rolled up into about four minutes. So lovely.

  • :O what is this pottermore and why have I no heard of this before?!

  • @mcrjade It's an online Harry Potter experience thing. One million people are selected to beta-test it.

  • @mcrjade look it up, it's really cool

  • Just got my Pottermore account. Someone linked me with this song. It's bloody raining on my face. Tears of happiness.

    See ya all at Hogwarts :)

  • I just logged into Pottermore. Merlin's beard, I'm crying

  • @AnetteSeraphitaVee is it awesome? please tell me it's awesome! Pottermore is screwing me over and won't send me my "forgot username" email. *cries*

  • @OtakuDances51 It's not really up yet, I think they're waiting for the Magial Quill challenge to be over. D: That totally sucks! I really hope you can get on it.

  • this song make me cry. Im gonna listen to this when i register for Pottermore.

  • "Whether you come back by page, or the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home" ~ J.K Rowling <3

  • Oh my dead wizard god...

    Darren is such a sex god.

  • @candygirl725 LESS THAN 3!!

  • @meganinjapillow Correction. Darren Criss is a SEXGOD.

  • @hsfle1 hes jus so supermegafoxyawesomehot lik its so hard to explain :L

  • They should have included the Sorting Hat shouting out "GRYFFINDOR!" during the end there. That's what did it for me when I was watching the sequel. Because I know technically Hogwarts was his first HOME, but Gryffindor was his first FAMILY. And didn't the books teach us that where there are friends, there is a home?

  • @Swagge21 i think i love you lol jkjkjkjk that's just such a perfect view of everything HP

  • It's weird, the first few times I heard this song I didn't really like it, but now I love it XD

  • cant listen to this without crying </3

  • darren criss is musical god.

  • @meganinjapillow Correction, He is a wizard god! ;)

  • @KurtHummelXx wait-! god's dead!!! :O *Starship* :D

  • mhmm I love it when he like growls the words out

  • i cry.

  • 1dislike!!!!!???

  • @superGLEEKbobo thanks herman

  • This scene in the play never fails. It always makes me want to cry

  • how did you find this song? because on the starkid website it's not part of the free partial album

  • @roxinadiva14 Its on iTunes.

  • @roxinadiva14 for me, i found that some songs from avps are on a very starkid album, and those that arent are on a separate album called 'avps soundtrack' - both should be available on itunes :)

  • All I could think about in DH part 2 was this song, and seriously could not stop crying.

    So emotional!

  • I'm beyond depressed that Harry Potter is over. But, to get all cheesy, it'll never be over, will it?

  • @ImagineRevolution64 No, That's the thing about Hogwarts. No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. *Cue Get Back to Hogwarts music*

  • @ImagineRevolution64 Nope :) It's not over yet!

  • "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home" Thank you Jo <3

    

  • listening to this right after seeing deathly hallows part 2 is HEARTBREAKING

  • @vmarier1

    i think reading your comment just killed me inside. haha i'm sobbing now

  • I love this song!!

  • this song breaks my heart every. single. time. 

  • This song is simply amazing. This is exactly how I feel about Tumblr. I've never really felt like I fit in anywhere but when I joined, I met so many amazing people. Tumblr is my home now.

  • *Cries* SINGS ALONG *cries*

  • this song, i just can't even. it's exactly how i feel when it comes to harry potter and the whole fandom. i'm so grateful and incredibly glad to be a part of this generation to have grown up with harry potter and all its awesomeness. <3

  • brb, bawling my eyes out.

  • Omg this song is rlly sad. Whoever I get into a fight with my parents and cry I put this song on and it makes me feel so much better.

  • I really have the urge to shout out gryfindor at the end.

  • @xxmoodymolexx As do I, as do I

  • @xxmoodymolexx I kind of did... :) between the sobs, you know.

  • from 1:42 to 2:10 Darren should be a Jazz singer

  • 1 person didnt respound to umbrides text

  • @chlownotchloe I sometimes actually shout GRYFINDOR out loud.

  • 1 person doesn't have a home

  • Whenever I'm having a bad day, this seems to make me feel better :) Listening to this I know someday I'll find a place called home.

  • I love all the music in these musicals, but am I the only one who wished they they could have added a music box-type song? You know, something like "I'm Not That Girl" in "Wicked"? A simple, beautiful, quiet song like that never hurt anyone! This came close- also "Those Voices." I'm not saying the songs are bad, I'm just saying that the Starkids have great voices that would sound great in a song like that.

  • @Razmatini  yes, i completaly agree!

  • Get it Darren.

  • He's like an angelic god or something.. he's crazy amazing

  • I was tearing up, until Darren did his sexy singing voice.
