It's the Muggle Life (PoA, Chap. 2)

Based on It's the Hard-Knock Life

SCENE ONE : HARRY is back at Privet Drive while AUNT MARGE is visiting. HARRY looks around his room miserably and sings.

HARRY:
It's the Muggle life for me
It's the Muggle life for me
'Steada broomsticks
I see cars
And nobody
Loves my scar
It's the Muggle life!

I want to go to Hogsmeade
So a Muggle life I'll heed
Regular post
'Steada owls
'Steada smiling
I just scowl
It's the Muggle life!

Uncle Vernon told everyone around here
That I go to a Juvenile school
And yet Aunt Marge thinks that is nothing to fear
She thinks that she can carry all the rule
And just like one of Uncle Vernon's dumb drills
Aunt Marge's voice bores right into my head
And it's always been booming and really shrill
I would be much better off if she were dead
Oh

It's a Muggle life
Such a buggle life
Really boring life
Feels like snoring life

Quidditch I wish I could play
Erm, 'Quidditch', what's that I say?
Well life becomes such a bore
When you're stuck at Number Four
It's the Muggle life

It is the last night of AUNT MARGE'S stay, and HARRY is already furious

AUNT MARGE: (spoken): Proud of your parents boy? They go and get themselves killed in a car crash, drunk I expect! You insolent, ungrateful little-

AUNT MARGE stops speaking and begins to swell up

HARRY:
She's gonna be a balloon
Gonna run up to my room
Get my trunk and then my broom
I've had enough, I'm leaving!

HARRY runs up and grabs his things, then comes back and walks to the door

Gonna run out and be free
Because it was such a chore
Being there at Number Four

No more Muggle life
No more Muggle life
Went to Wizard life!

HARRY exits and slams door

Gryffindors (PoA, Chap. 5)

Based on Little Girls

SCENE TWO: At the end of the first night of Hogwarts, SNAPE dreads waking up and having to start the year teaching Gryffindors again.

SNAPE:
Gryffindors, Gryffindors
Everyday I wake I must teach them
Gryffindors, Gryffindors
Every night and day I must see them

I'm an ordinary teacher of Potions
Sometimes the students make me want some beer
And I apply, teach DADA I try
But I'm still Potions teacher through the year

Red and gold, gold and red
Everything has that stupid lion
If I do get my way
All those Gryffindors will be dying

Karkaroff over from Durmstrang
Rides while his students push oars
Lucky me, Lucky me
Look at who I'm stuck pushing
Gryffindors!

How I hate teaching those
Bratty kids will just no discipline
I just know I will crack
Should their cauldrons be melted again

Someday they'll realize I'm the best
And they'll go down on all fours
Asking me to forgive everything they'd done to me
Those Gryffindors!

I know on the next Quidditch match
Potter is going to score
Then I'll pray, right away
For the ending day of those
Gryffindors!

Based on Maybe

SCENE THREE The first class of Divination - enter TRELAWNEY

TRELAWNEY:
Welcome now my dears
Nice to see you at last
Welcome here Divination
We'll study future, not past

And my name, dears, is
Professor Trelawney
And there is no one at Hogwarts
Here who can See as I See

Now you there, boy
Is your grandma well?
I really wouldn't
Believe that she's swell
This term we'll read
Tea leaves best we can
Oh, and dear be-
-Ware a red haired man

And so in second term
Crystal balls we'll endeavor
Easter, someone is leaving for
Ever

The class all begins to practice with tea leaves, and TRELAWNEY goes to HARRY'S cup

Harry, my dear
Let me see your cup
The falcon, you have a deadly enemy
The club, an attack
The skull, danger path
And my poor boy
What is this I see?

My dear you have the Grim!
I've barely caught my breath
The Grim is the most worst omen
Of death!

SCENE FOUR: The first Care of Magical Creatures class

HAGRID: (spoken)
Goteh' great lesson coming up! Come on!

(sung)
Now first just open up your books

DRACO: (spoken)
Exactly how?

HAGRID:
You can't open, that's what you tell?

DRACO: (spoken)
How do we open our books?

HAGRID:
You've got to stroke them down the spine

DRACO: (sarcastically spoken)
How silly we've been! We should have stroked them!

HARRY:
I hope Hagrid will teach us well!

The class follows HAGRID to the paddock of Hippogriffs

HAGRID:
These creatures are called hippogriffs

LAVENDER: (spoken)
Oooooooooh!

HAGRID:
I really think they are so swell
(spoken)
Beau'iful, aren't they?
(sung)
Does anyone want to come near?
(spoken)
Come on, anybody?

HARRY:
Fine then, I'll do it, might as well

HARRY goes up to the paddock to BUCKBEAK and HAGRID instructs him on what to do

HAGRID:
Harry, now
Come and bow
Look him in the eye
You've done well
I can tell
Buckbeak will let you fly!

Climb on him behind the wing joint

HERMIONE: (spoken)
Oh, I'm not really sure he should do this!

HAGRID:
Pull no feathers or he will yell
So grab onto his side
He'll take you for a ride

RON and HERMIONE:
I hope Hagrid will teach us well!

HARRY rides up on the back of BUCKBEAK

HARRY:
Oh he dips
Well this trip's
Now what I prefer
Min'stry lines
Hagrid's mind
Extremely
Do differ!

HARRY lands, and the class begins to practice with hippogriffs. DRACO takes BUCKBEAK

DRACO:
Well I knew this would be easy

CRABBE and GOYLE:
Well he knew this would be easy

DRACO:
You ugly brute, you're not much hell

BUCKBEAK slashes DRACO

Oh my God, look, oh my
I think I'm gonna die!

HARRY, RON, and HERMIONE:
I hope Hagrid will teach us well!

RON: (spoken)
That was the best Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson we ever had!

GRYFFINDORS: (adlibs)
Yep…Great…Excellent (etc.)

Ah, it's Grandmother Boggart Snape!

HARRY: (appears as Grandmother Boggart Snape and shimmies)
Do do do do do

GRYFFINDORS:

Hogsmeade Street (PoA, Chap. 10)

Based on Easy Street

SCENE SIX: Fred and George are with Harry, and they tell him how he can get to Hogsmeade, to give him his 'early Christmas present'

GEORGE:
We remember the way you said your Uncle
Had never signed your Hogsmeade parchment

FRED:
And so we decided your need is greater
Besides we know this, and its statement

GEORGE:
In our first year, we were carefree and young

FRED:
And Filch got mad for...

GEORGE:
...Our bomb of dung

FRED and GEORGE:
As we sat in his moldy little office
We took this parchment, and its advice to…

Hogsmeade Street
Hogsmeade Street
With all its great shops
Yeah yeah yeah
Can't be beat
Hogsmeade Street
Its one of the tops

HARRY:
Hogsmeade Street…

FRED AND GEORGE:
Hogsmeade Street
Where you'll have your day
Yeah yeah yeah
Off your seat
To Hogsmeade Street
This will show your way

HARRY:
Now I really think that you're winding me up
This isn't cracked up
To what'd it be
There's no way I could ever get to Hogsmeade
It's not possible
You're fooling me

GEORGE:
'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good'

FRED:
The words appear there
Just like the should

FRED and GEORGE:
We owe them, Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs

HARRY:
I'll really get there!

FRED and GEORGE:
It'll help you along

FRED, GEORGE, and HARRY:
Yes!
Hogsmeade Street!

Well who gave it to me?
It wasn't the Dursleys
Oh Ron
Some help here if you please

RON:
Dumble!
Maybe it was Dumble!
Dumbledore's the man who
Could have given you this broom!

HARRY:
Oh no
He didn't give this to me
The cloak he had sent was
For passing through family

RON:
Hey, just think of Malfoy
He'll be sick as a pig
'Cause this
Is a broom he would dig

Lupin!
Maybe it was Lupin!

HARRY:
Listen Ron
If Lupin had this much gold
Then he
Would go out and buy some new robes

RON:
Well then

HARRY:
Who could this broom sender be?

Based on Tomorrow

SCENE EIGHT: HARRY'S first Anti-dementor lesson. LUPIN tells HARRY what he will be learning

LUPIN:
I'm teaching you a Patronus
It's like what a dementor feeds upon
Hope and sun
And if you do wish to make one
Clearly say the spell, it goes Expecto
Patronum

Now concentrate on a happy memory
And then say the words, and soon
You'll see…

Oh
It's harder with more Dementors
But you must hang onto that Patronus
Come what may

Expecto
Patronum

Protects ya
Patronus
It keeps Dementors away

Several Patronus lessons later, HARRY is still struggling to make one. LUPIN encourages him

It's harder with more dementors
But you must hang onto that Patronus
Come what may

Expecto
Patronum

Protects ya
Patronus
It keeps dementors away

A silvery shadow resembling a stag slightly comes out of HARRY'S wand

LUPIN and HARRY:
Expecto
Patronum

Protects ya
Patronus
It keeps dementors
Away!

SCENE NINE: RON is convinced that HERMIONE'S cat, Crookshanks, ate Scabbers.

RON:
Now Scabbers is gone
Because your cat ate him

HERMIONE:
No, Crookshanks did not
It's just that you hate him

RON:
Hermi'ne, don't pretend
I'll say right off the bat
Face it, your cat just ate my rat

HERMIONE:
You've hated my cat
Exactly from the start
I just don't see why
You've never loved his heart

RON:
You think that monster there
It what you call a cat?
Face it, your cat just ate my rat

Your cat is such a monster

HERMIONE:
Don't you say that again

RON:
Your cat is such a monster!

HERMIONE:
No Ron
That's you

RON:
Since when?

That thing thinks it's a
Massive cat of power

HERMIONE:
Oh no he does not
He's sweet as a flower

RON:
But there's no flower that
Is mean enough as that
Face it, your cat just at my rat

Scabbers is gone forever

HERMIONE:
Go look under the beds
You've had a thing against him
Since he
Fell on
Your head

RON:
You never took your
Cat too seriously
I said he attacked
You don't listen to me

HERMIONE:
You always said Scabbers
Was boring and so fat

RON:
Face it, your cat just at my rat

You act like Scabbers
Has gone on vacation
Stop making up things
From imagination

HERMIONE:
There is no proof to say
Your story is a fact

RON:
Face it, your cat ate him

HERMIONE:
He did not!

RON:
Yes he did!
Face it, your cat just ate my rat!

Tonight my bed curtains had been slashed
Who knew that would be?

GRYFFINDORS:
We always loved all of the portraits
But we loved ours the most for sure

NEVILLE:
I always felt safe in the castle

GRYFFINDORS:
We don't anymore!

TEACHERS and STUDENTS:
We'd like to thank you, Sir Cadogan
For really guarding the entrance
We'd like to thank you, Sir Cadogan
You really had a lot of sense
Sirius Black came to your portrait
He read the passwords off to you
And then you let that murderer in
What a thing to do!

HARRY, RON, and HERMIONE:
We met you the first day of classes

RON:
I really thought you were a git

HARRY and HERMIONE:
A weird knight falling off a pony

RON:
What an idiot

GRYFFINDORS:
Sirius Black had come once before
That's when the Fat Lady had fled
We wanted a nice substitution
We got you instead!
Hey Caddy!

TEACHERS and STUDENTS:
We really think you are quite mental
Changed passwords fourteen times a week
Hi'ring you was an accidental
And listen, you don't have to speak
Come here and we'll tell you a few things
We'll have a nice warm fire too
But Hagrid won't go down and chop trees
Why don't he chop you?

We'd like to thank you, Sir Cadogan

GRYFFINDORS:
Thank you Caddy

TEACHERS and STUDENTS:
Fore really guarding the entrance
You are so insane
You've got no brain
Cadogan, you sure are dense!

(spoken)
Thanks a lot, Cad!

LUPIN: (spoken)
So?

SNAPE:
His parchment told me things real absurd!

LUPIN: (spoken)
Oh, really?

SNAPE:
Full of Dark Magic
Tell me where he'd get it!

LUPIN (simultaneous with below):
Full of Dark Magic?
I really doubt it
Just an amusement
Insulting parchment
And so I implore
It's from a joke store

SNAPE: (simultaneous with above)
Oh
Indeed such
A thing
I think he got
It from Manu-

I know that parchment!
I'm really on to you!

LUPIN:
Oh

SNAPE: (spoken)
Take that parchment and get out of here!

Based on N.Y.C

SCENE THIRTEEN: We are in the Shrieking Shack with SIRIUS, LUPIN, HARRY, RON, and HERMIONE. SIRIUS finally tells his story.

SIRIUS:
Azkaban
What was it about you?
You're big
And cold
And theft
Azkaban
You're such a damp island
And then
Somehow
I left

While I was in there the dementors sucked
Happy thoughts out of me
And if it wasn't for one little thing
Then I'd have gone crazy
In Azkaban
But I was innocent
Became
A dog
Slipped out
And went
Escaped from
Azkaban

See that rat?
It's an Animagus
By the
Name of
Peter
Yes, that rat
Is a man named Peter
Who turned
A Death
Eater

Harry, I had as good killed your parents
My friends Lily and James
And after all this, I do truly know
That I'm the one to blame
For I had been
Their first Secret Keeper
And I
Told them
'Change to
Peter'
They obeyed
Now they're gone…

LUPIN:
Oh enough of this now
Ron, you
Give me
That rat

SIRIUS:
We'll make you see somehow
That your
Rat's such
A prat

LUPIN:
I will just force your
Rat to show himself
Because
He tries
To hide

SIRIUS:
And if it turns out that's really Peter
He should be terrified

LUPIN:
Well this is how
We will prove what happened
The truth
You'll gain
Pete will
Explain

SIRIUS:
Or else
He'll go to-

LUPIN forces SCABBERS to show himself. There is a bunch of white light, and then in SCABBERS' spot is PETER

PETER:
Hello friends
I'm barely conceiving
That it
Is you
I see
But Remus
Say you don't believe him!
He did
Try to
Kill me!

I always knew that
He'd come after me
And he'd be back again
'Cause he has tricks
He learned from You-Know-Who
He learned them who knows when!

SIRIUS:
That's a good one
But right in Azkaban
They think you're dead
If they
Knew you
Are here
You'd reach death bed!

LUPIN:
Pete, they know
What really had gone on
You were
They spy
Don't try
To lie

SIRIUS and LUPIN:
And now
You'll fin'lly
Die!

Based on Dumb Dog

SCENE FOURTEEN: Upon hearing SCABBERS' true identity, RON has freaked out, and looks at PETER with disgust

RON:
Dumb rat!
I can't believe what you are
I learned it all from the
Guy with the name of a star

You lived in my house for
Twelve years just like he said
And, eww!
You had slept in my bed!

Dumb rat!
They were right
You're a prat!

You're the most disgusting rat
A rat you truly are!

Based on We Got Annie

SCENE FIFTEEN: SIRIUS and LUPIN are so excited that now they can kill Peter that they break out into a song and start dancing. Be sure to picture them dancing elaborately like in the movie, and singing loudly. They dance spontaneously around the Shack, and aren't really aware that HARRY, RON, HERMIONE, and PETER are watching them in shock. Feel free to get out your CD from the movie so you can really get an idea of how the dance break goes.

SIRIUS:
Peter…
We got Peter!

LUPIN:
We got Peter!

SIRIUS:
Yeah!

We finally got the rat
I'm living like that
No more
Now I'll kill him
What I was impris-
-Oned for!

LUPIN:
We got Peter!

SIRIUS:
We got Peter!

LUPIN:
We got Peter!

And so Peter was the spy
Who made James and Lily die
Betrayed his friends, he'll come to an end
Goodbye!

SIRIUS:
We got Peter!

LUPIN:
We got Peter!

SIRIUS and LUPIN:
We got Peter!

SIRIUS and LUPIN begin to dance victoriously around the Shack

SIRIUS and LUPIN:
We got Peter!

SIRIUS and LUPIN dance faster around the Shack, and dance more excitedly

SIRIUS and LUPIN:
We got Peter!

The dance begins to slow down, then has a quick punch of excitement, then slows down again. HARRY, RON, HERMIONE, and PETER can only stare at them

LUPIN: (spoken, with his dignity returning)
Now then, what were you saying, Harry?

Something Was Missing (PoA, Chap. 20)

Based on Something Was Missing of course

SCENE SIXTEEN: CROOKSHANKS, LUPIN, PETTIGREW, RON, SNAPE, SIRIUS, HARRY, and HERMIONE are making their way back to the castle. SIRIUS begins to talk to HARRY, wondering if HARRY would like to live with him, and then SIRIUS begins to sing.

SIRIUS:
My name is such mud with
The women and men
Been slandered and disgraced
Again and again
Yes, something was missing
That I always knew
That something was someone, but who?

Everyone thinks that I'm
A mass murderer
If only they knew it
Was really Peter
Oh something was missing
Before I got through
That something was someone, but who?

Where would that someone be?
When would I learn their name?
Would they so believe me
How I was not to blame?

The world seemed to suck out
All of my life's fun
Who knew I'd recall it
In my own godson?
Though something was missing
My dream did come true
That something is no one but you

Would they so believe me
How I was not to blame?

The world seemed to suck out
All of my life's fun
Who knew I'd recall it
In my own godson?
Though something was missing
My dream did come true
That something is no one
But you!

Patronus Reprise (PoA, Chap. 20)

Based on Tomorrow Reprise

SCENE SEVENTEEN: The dementors are closing around SIRIUS, as HARRY & HERMIONE try to help him

HARRY:
Lupin taught me a Patronus
It's like what a dementor feeds upon
Hope and sun

SIRIUS: (spoken as he trembles from the dementors)
Nooooo…..noooo…please….

HARRY:
And since I do wish to make one
I will say the spell, it goes Expecto
Patronum

Now I concentrate on a happy memory
And then say the words, and soon I see

Oh
It's harder with more dementors
But I must hang onto that Patronus
Come what may

Expecto
Patronum

Protects ya
Patronus
It keeps dementors away!

SIRIUS faints

HARRY: (spoken)
Hermione, think of something happy!
(sung)
Lupin taught me a Patronus
It's like what a dementor feeds upon
Hope and sun
(spoken)
Hermione, help me!

HARRY and HERMIONE: (Hermione singing weakly)
And if you do wish to make one
Clearly say the spell, it goes Expecto
Patronum

HARRY: (spoken)
Hermione, listen!
(sung)
Now concentrate on a happy memory
And then say the words, and soon
You'll see

Oh
It's harder with more dementors
But you must hang onto that Patronus
Come what may

HARRY and HERMIONE: (Hermione singing weakly)
Expecto
Patronum

Protects ya
Patronus
It keeps dementors away

HERMIONE passes out

HARRY:
Expecto
Patronum!

Protects ya!
Patronus!
It keeps dementors
Away!

HARRY faints

He Won't Get His Soul Sucked At All (PoA, Chap. 21)

Based on You Won't Be An Orphan For Long

SCENE EIGHTEEN: HARRY and HERMIONE sit in the Hospital Wing, and become determined to go rescue SIRIUS before the dementors suck out his soul.

HARRY:
Well the man is my godfather
So don't think that I won't bother
He really was an inn'cent one
Which is why this thing can't be done

HERMIONE:
So Harry
We will go back in time
And we will stop this evil crime
And we'll save Buckbeak too
Sirius will get rescued

HARRY and HERMIONE:
And he won't get his soul sucked at all

HERMIONE:
The dementors can ruin a day

HARRY:
Oh yes that's true

HERMIONE:
But they will not get in our way

HARRY:
Cause I will do

HARRY and HERMIONE:
A protecting Patronus
That is going to shield us
And he won't get his soul sucked
No he won't get his soul sucked at all

And though it will not be easy
We're gonna set Sirius free
And though him we'll sorely miss
We will save him from the kiss
And he won't get his soul sucked
No he won't get his soul sucked at all!

A New Defense Teacher

Based on A New Deal For Christmas

SCENE NINETEEN: The word is out that LUPIN is a werewolf, and that he is leaving the school. All of the GRYFFINDORS are thoroughly miserable that he will be leaving. So, even though this is meant to be a happy song, there is a new twist on it, and when everyone sings 'a new defense teacher' they are all very sad.

HARRY:
Lupin's the best teacher of Dark Arts

HERMIONE:
From all that he taught
We learned a lot

RON:
And he really has a lot of smarts

HERMIONE:
He really taught well The guy is so swell

HARRY, RON, and HERMIONE:
But I've heard a terrible rumor
He's gonna leave here
And we'll have a new Defense Teacher next year

HARRY goes to visit LUPIN'S office

LUPIN:
Well Harry, I'm leaving, that is true

HARRY:
But you cannot go
You're the best we know

LUPIN:
Yes, but you understand, don't you?
That during last night
Could have gave a bite
The parents will not want me teaching
I'll ease them their fear
And you'll have a new Defense Teacher next year

The GRYFINDORS sit in the Great Hall, all looking very depressed

GRYFFINDORS:
No no no no no no no no!

DEAN: (spoken glumly)
Maybe we'll get a vampire

SEAMUS: (spoken glumly)
Or maybe a ghoul

NEVILLE: (spoken glumly)
Or maybe a hag

GRYFFINDORS:
We wish Lupin was staying!

DEAN: (spoken glumly)
Or maybe a banshee

GRYFFINDOR BOYS:
What will we get next year

GRYFFINDOR GIRLS:
Maybe a
Lycanthrope

GRYFFINDOR BOYS:
Just like
Prof. Lupin is

GRYFFINDOR GIRLS:
But even
If it was

GRYFFINDORS:
It would not be the same

He was the best teacher ever
And though he dressed shab
He really was fab
We wish that he had stayed forever
'Cause he was the best
He beat out the rest
Not only has Professor Lupin left
But so has our cheer

GRYFFINDOR BOYS:
We're getting a New Defense Teacher

GRYFFINDOR GIRLS:
Getting a New Defense Teacher

GRYFFINDOR BOYS:

Harry (PoA, Chap. 22)

Based on the song Annie

SCENE TWENTY: DUMBLEDORE tells HARRY how he did make a difference in the last night and how important he was. The last line of the song is sung in a slightly operatic style

DUMBLEDORE:
Harry
Harry
Harry
Look what you've done last night
Harry
Harry
Harry
Some things will come out right
Saved an inn'cent man
From such a
Terrible fate plan

And it was
Such a
Noble
Thing saving Pettigrew's life
And now he
Owes you his life

Harry
Harry
Harry
They'll come a time you're glad
Harry
Harry
Harry
You had done what you had
In time of trouble
You called your
Dad on the double

Prongs rode then
When you
Recalled
You dad like you wanted to
You found your
Father
In you!
