Dear Mr. Potter
http://www.dearmrpotter.org/

So I watched Deathly Hallows part 2, of course, yesterday, and I want t talk about it, but I have a hard time doing it without crying at least a bit. It was really amazing to see it with some of the most die-hard Harry Potter fans in the world.

There was a lot of crying going on...I think I actually hyperventilated near the end, I was shaking and tingly.

It was a very important moment, I'm looking forward to seeing it in a less emotionally-charged room to see if I can be a little more analytical about it. Right now, my overall feelings are "BGHAAHRGLUH"

LeakyCon has been amazing, I'm about to go to a hugemongous Nerdfighter Gathering and I'm very excited. Glad I got my video up in time!!

Hope you like the song. The chords are Dm C G throughout the whole thing.

LYRICS

Dear Mr. Potter.
I got a lot to say to you
I don't expect you to listen
after all that you've been through
But I'm saying it for me, I'm not saying it for you
And yes I'm sayin' it for a few other people too
It's true that overall you get a positive review
I but I hope you don't mind I've got just one question for you

But is this it? Is this the last piece of the pie
the pie that all of us have been eating most of our adult lives
is this it? Is this what we've been waiting for
To watch as Daniel Radcliffe valiantly pretends to fight your war
Is this it?

Dear Mr. Potter
You did a lot for me.
You helped me pick up this guitar learn more than GC and D
You launched my whole career, in actuality
If it weren't for you then basically none of this would be
so I am hugely in your debt. there's no doubt about that
But I'm sorry if it seems like I won't get off your back

But is this it? Is this the last piece of the pie
the pie that all of us have been eating most of our adult lives
is this it? Is this what we've been waiting for
To watch ask Alan Rickman tells us all why Snape killed Dumbledore.
Is this it?

Dear Mr. Potter
I hope that you don't mind
But it turns out it's been years since we left you behind
We're here because we love you, but we're not hear for you
We're here to learn and sing and make videos for YouTube
But more than any of that, we're here to be with our friends
And that is clearly not the sort of thing that will ever end

So this ain't it. This place was built to last.
We have more fun in our future than we have in our past
Yeah this ain't it. We're to watch and sing and play
We're gonna love these books and each other until our dying day
Cause this ain't it

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]
