LYRICS:

HARRY:
Is this my real life?
Is this all it will be?
Stuck at the Dursleys'
No escape from this family

WIZARDING CHORUS:
Open it up
Read what's inside and see

HARRY:
I'm just an orphan, who would be writing me?
'cause I have no friends, no pen pals
Don't get bills or catalogs
No library sends me notices about my late fees

WIZARDING CHORUS:
Late fees

VOLDEMORT:
Harry, just killed your mom
Put a wand against her head
Said the curse, and now she's dead
Harry, your life has just begun
But now I'm gonna throw it all away

Harry, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
But you won't be alive this time tomorrow
And I'll carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

VOLDEMORT (spoken):
...except me! Muahahaha! Avada Kedavra!

VOLDEMORT:
It can't be—my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the sudden
Goodbye Harry Potter—I've got to go
Gotta leave this body behind and hide in Albania
Harry, ooo
I'm not gonna die
I'll see you again in eleven years or so...

HARRY:
I see a large silhouetto of a man

HAGRID:
Open up, open up, open up the door this instant

HARRY:
Thunderbolts and lightning—very very frightening me

HAGRID:
Harry Potter!

HARRY:
Aunt Petunia!

HAGRID:
Harry Potter!

HARRY:
Uncle Vernon!

HAGRID:
Harry Potter, it's Hagrid.

HARRY:
Hello

HAGRID:
Hello-o-o-o

HARRY:
I'm just an orphan, nobody loves me

DURSLEYS:
He's just an orphan from a dead family
Spare us our lives from you monstrosities

HAGRID (spoken):
Harry, you're a wizard! Come to Hogwarts!

HARRY:
Easy come, easy go—will you let me go to Hogwarts

DURSLEYS:
No—we will not let you go

HARRY:
Let me go! To Hogwarts

DURSLEYS:
We will not let you go

HAGRID:
Let him go!

HARRY:
To Hogwarts

DURSLEYS:
We will not let you go

HARRY:
Let me go!

DURSLEYS:
Will not let you go

HARRY:
Let me go

DURSLEYS:
Will not let you go—oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

HARRY:
Oh Aunt Petunia, Aunt Petunia, Aunt Petunia let me go
'Cause Dumbledore has a spot put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you can make me live under the stairs?
So you think you can tell me my parents were squares?
Oh Dursleys—can't do this to me, Dursleys
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

I am Harry Potter
What does it all mean?
Turns out I'm a wizard
And everyone around here knows me

WIZARDING CHORUS:
You are Harry Potter...

[ronniebutlerjr]

Brilliant you guys. Just brilliant. I'm sharing and tweeting.

[hpsockopera]

@ronniebutlerjr Aww, thank you!

[JellybabyProductions]

Subscribed immediately. The puppets are adorable, the scenery gorgeous, the lyrics brilliant and the singing well balanced between voice acting and musicality. Hints about your future plans?

[hpsockopera]

@JellybabyProductions Thanks so much! The plan as it stands now is to tell the whole story of HP&SS through Queen songs. Then, after that... who knows? :)

[toadlessgirl]

That was fantastic! The singing, the scenery, everything! Can't wait for part 2 :D

[hpsockopera]

@toadlessgirl Thank you! We're hoping to film part 2 around the end of August. I wish we could make them faster, but unfortunately apparently we have to spend time at our real jobs too.

[meggyliz96]

It's like AVPM and PPP had a baby. C:

[iWALKtheLINEx3]

This is absolutely brilliant! I particularly like the stag and doe on the walls of Harry's bedroom- what a nice touch!

[LilyFalls]

Why's Lily green? Anyway, great work! Can you make more? :)

[LilyFalls]

2:57 Voldemort begins freaky dance. >:)- lol

[Alatarielle]

this is awesome!! well done, guys!!

[Smogget]

I liked that you had the banana peels and potato chip bags in the fireplace :)

[efenwealt]

Lots of nice little touches. I especially like the Leaky Cauldron appearance. 

[redvinesron]

Harry has an afro. Whoa. XD

I'm telling J.K. Rowling about this in the letter I'm writing her. (: And about AVPS and AVPM and Potter Puppet Pals. HPSockOpera is like PPP but a musical... ^_^

[DomnioEffect]

I can't believe this is a month old and still only has 5,000 views. I can't wait to see the next in the series.

[MorL76821982]

Genius! You guys are freakenly talented! :-)

Hope to see more of your *magic*! ^^

[aduck8myshoes]

This is amazing! I can't wait for more!
