Owls, Dozens Of Owls

Adapted from Food, Glorious Food

THE SCENE: Dursley residence, Number Four, Privet Drive. Harry Potter is waking up in the smallest cupboard beneath the stairs

HARRY:
Should I have a single care?
Since I live beneath the stair
The people called the Dursleys are cru…el!
Ev'ry day I wake up torn
Wishing I was never born
Just because the Dursleys are cru…el!
There is no hope left on Privet Drive
If there were, they'd have killed it by now
But there's something old Vernon can't stop getting through
When I look to the skies, there's an ow…l!

Owls, dozens of owls!
What could they be sending?
Such wonderful fowls
Their messages pending.
Each letter I try to read
My uncle goes crazy.
One letter is all I need
He'll push up daisies.

Owls, dozens of owls!
I'm anxious to listen
In shiny green ink
Each letter it glistens

Always addressed to me
Dear Mr. H. Potter
I pray
Maybe today
Maybe they'll stay
What do they say?

Owls, hundreds of owls!
Drop letters from somewhere
Aunt Petunia scowls

PETUNIA:
Touch one if you would dare!

HARRY:
What bakes a new batch of hopes?
What brings on a sigh?
Piled letters and envelopes
Six feet high!

Owls, hundreds of owls!
Just open one letter
Then maybe I'll know
Could my life be better?
Grab one from the chimney vent
Or from under the door
There's more
Vernon will roar
Shook to the core
One letter more!

Owls, thousands of owls!
I finally hear them
Ten! Twenty-five! More!
Just need to get near them!
They're fluttering overhead
On tiptoe I totter
Each envelope's cover said
Harry Potter!

Owls, thousand of owls
My uncle can't flee them
Wherever we go
The writer can see him
First to an old cheap motel
Next, a rock in the sea
Oh please!
This one's for me!
Just let me see!

VERNON and PETUNIA:
Where can we flee?

HARRY:
What could they be?

HAGRID enters

VERNON and PETUNIA (terrified):
Now who is he?

HARRY (ripping open a letter):
Letters for me!

Hog - A - Warts!

Adapted from O - Li - Ver!

HAGRID (spoken):
Couldn't make us a cup 'o tea? It's not been an easy journey

VERNON (intoned)
I demand that you leave us at once, sir
You sir are breaking and entering!

HAGRID:
Shut up!
(spoken) Well, hello Harry. Happy birthday!

HARRY (spoken)
Who are you?

HAGRID (spoken):
Rubeus Hagrid, from Hogwarts

HARRY, VERNON, PETUNIA (spoken):
Hogwarts!?

PETUNIA (sung)
Stop him!

VERNON (sung):
Lop him!

PETUNIA:
Not there

HARRY:
Not where?

VERNON and PETUNIA:
(to HARRY) We can't hear you!
(to HAGRID) But we really fear you!

HAGRID:
Wait!
You mean the boy don't know a thing!
Does he even know the meaning of his name?

VERNON and PETUNIA (cowering):
Not a thing…

HAGRID:
Hog - a - warts! Hog - a - warts!
This boy is famous and don't even know

VERNON:
Stop right there! Stop right there
Don't care who he is, we will not let him go
To that school of freaks and witches
And hags you call wizardry
If he leaves this household, all of his days
From now on will be misery

HAGRID:
Hog - a - warts! Hog - a - warts!
What will you do when you're beat black and blue
You will curse the day
You got in the way of
Hog - a - warts!

Hog - a - warts! Hog - a - warts!
That is the place Mr. Potter belongs

VERNON:
No it's not! No it's not!
I will not hear anymore of this song

HAGRID:
And to thing we trusted
You to take care of the Potter's child
You had failed them both
The day we left Harry upon your step meek and mild
What will you quickly do
Now that I've found him
And freed him from you
You will curse the day, you did not obey
Hog - a - warts!

We Shall Scream!

Adapted from I Shall Scream!

HAGRID (spoken):
You're a wizard, Harry!

PETUNIA:
He's not going, no way!
To that stupid school of magic
Wish you would just go 'way
Tried to stop my sister Lily
Be a witch so willy-nilly
I will do the same for Harry
Only you are rather scary
He will stay…

HAGRID:
No, he won't

PETUNIA:
He will stay!

I shall scream! I shall scream!
Try to stop me saving Harry, I shall scream!

HAGRID:
Can't believe that you would protest
After sending lettered notice
I will take him very easy
If you'll only let me, pleas-e!

PETUNIA:
I shall scream, scream, scream!

VERNON:
When his parents were killed
You had thought that we'd be helpful
We're the ones who were billed
Now we're sick of little Harry
And although you're rather scary
We don't want any attention
Brought to us, when we can mention
That he goes
To a school
Called Hogwarts!

I shall scream! I shall scream!
When our neighbors ask "Where is he?" I shall scream!
That our Harry is a wizard
Letters flying like a blizzard
We would like to keep this quiet
'cuz our neighbor will not buy it

VERNON and PETUNIA:
They shall scream, scream, scream!

HAGRID:
Do you think that you farts
Could of stopped the Potter's child
From attending Hogwarts
And to think that your permission
Would be needed for admission

Will you try to un-persuade me

VERNON and PETUNIA:
No…

HAGRID:
Is there nothing to dissuade me
None at all

VERNON and PETUNIA:
None at all

HAGRID:
Is that all

VERNON:
I shall scream - he won't go! Have I not already mentioned he won't go!

HAGRID:
But his life won't be disaster
Under Hogwart's best headmaster

VERNON:
I will not hear anymore
Of that crackpot Dumbledore

HAGRID (thundering):
NEVER INSULT ALBUS DUMBLEDORE IN FRONT OF ME!

(angrily sung) You will pay, Mr. Dursley:
Look this way, Dudley Dursley:
You shall scream, scream, scream!

Dudley dances about, squeals like a pig, and reveals his tail

The Boy Who Lived

Adapted from Boy For Sale

THE SCENE: The Leaky Cauldron, as its patrons notice Harry's scar

HAGRID::
This boy,
The Boy Who Lived
Can you believe?
That he still is with us
After You-Know-Who

This boy
The Boy Who Lived
Defeated him
After James and Lily
Couldn't stand a chance

If I could say his life will be a legend
I could because that's what it really is

ALL:
This boy
The Boy Who Lived
We can't believe
That our Harry Potter is
The Boy Who Lived

Who Am I?

Adapted from Where Is Love?

Spotlight on Harry, all others freeze in background

HARRY:
Who am I?
People stare, I ask them why?
Why am I the only one who can't
Be a passerby?
Who were they?
What happened on that fateful day?
To me my parents' names are only names
Why must it be that way?
What is it that they all see?
What is it that makes me - me?
Will I start to be the person who
Hogwarts thinks will come true?
Who, who am I?

I know that this world's not fair
Sometimes I don't even care
But why can't they share…why the stare
And declare…do they dare
Who, who am I?

Lights fade up, Hagrid taps on the brick wall, a door appears and a busy Diagon Alley bursts into action

It's A Fine House

Adapted from It's A Fine Life

THE SCENE: Opening banquet of Hogwarts school year. The firstyears are lined up in front, and the Sorting Hat is brought out. It begins to sing

SORTING HAT:
Four houses, four houses
Each with a different role
Four paths and four courses
Your future is my goal
Don't worry, don't worry
I know what's best for you
Put me on - I'm furry
I'll tell you what to do

If you like to riddle and read and study
You're a Ravenclaw

CHORUS OF RAVENCLAW STUDENTS:
Ravenclaw!

SORTING HAT:
If your book is always your favourite buddy
You're a Ravenclaw

CHORUS OF RAVENCLAWS:
Ravenclaw!

SORTING HAT:
Wit and wisdom, find it all
Learning it likes it's the law
There are friends to challenge you
There are books to balance you
That's in…

HAT and RAVENCLAWS:
Ravenclaw!

SORTING HAT:
Each house is quite equal
All have their pros and cons
Although in each sequel
Things will dissolve those bonds
But speaking in present
We can agree they're fine
They cozy and pleasant
They're perfect by design

If you're kind of boring but like to work hard
You're a Hufflepuff

CHORUS OF HUFFLEPUFF STUDENTS:
Hufflepuff!

Very true and honest and never grow tired
You're a Hufflepuff

CHORUS OF HUFFLEPUFF STUDENTS:
Hufflepuff!

You will find it hard to blue
For you'll never have enough
Of a different quality
From your house's cup-o-tea
You're a…

HAT and CHORUS OF HUFFLEPUFFS:
Hufflepuff!

The Hat begins sorting the students

SORTING HAT:
Each student is special
Each has a hand to play
But that's why I guess'll
Have to reveal my say
Both Patils -- muy facil!
Each goes to Ravenclaw
Longbottom - I taught 'em
(Pause) Him and… Granger are Gryffindors!

Hat sings over Draco Malfoy

If you're clever, evil, or very crafty
You're a Slytherin!

Malfoy steps down

CHORUS OF SLYTHERIN STUDENTS (other houses boo and hiss):
Slytherin!

SORTING HAT:
Though their dungeon hall is a little drafty
Still it's Slytherin

CHORUS OF SLYTHERINS:
Slytherin!

SORTING HAT:
Even though there's been a few
Rotten eggs like You-Know-Who
You'll get used to Severus
And exclude the rest of us
Not in…

HAT and SLYTHERINS:
Slytherin!

SORTING HAT (interrupting)
If your brave and daring and courageous
You're a Gryffindor

CHORUS OF GRYFFINDOR STUDENTS (raucously)
Gryffindor!

SORTING HAT:
And you're Slytherin's enemy of the ages
You're a Gryffindor

CHORUS OF GRYFFINDORS:
Gryffindor

SORTING HAT (slower):
In each house a destiny
And you've left it up to me
Every house is qualified
So in me you can confide
It's a fine…

ALL HOUSES:
Fine…house!

The Hat is put on Harry

SORTING HAT (spoken)
Potter, did you say? The Harry Potter? Hmm…difficult. Very difficult..

(sung slowly, like the first verse)
Much talent, strong courage
Smart, but a lot to prove
Nice parents, good lineage
Famous, great things he'll do

HARRY (sung)
Not Slytherin! Not Slytherin!

SORTING HAT
Why! You'd be fit for power!

(Sung like the last few lines of song)
But if it's not Slytherin
That you'd like, well, then you're in…
You're a Gryffindor!

The Gryffindor tables cheers loudly

Consider Yourself

Adapted from Consider Yourself

DUMBLEDORE (spoken):
Welcome! Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. Here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!

Applause

Ahem - but first a few more important words as well - start of term notices…

(sung) Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We hope that you not roam
The hallways forbidden to all but some
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
A lot of it is alive
Oh well, with caution you will survive

If it should chance to be
You should see
A ghost a around
They will most abound
Watch out!
Always a chance you'll be chased around by Mister Peeves
He will tattle, scream, and shout!
Consider yourself our mate
We don't want to have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state…
Consider yourself one of us!

TEACHERS:
Consider yourself

STUDENTS:
At home

TEACHERS:
Consider yourself

STUDENTS:
One of the family

TEACHERS:
Remember that you

STUDENTS (sarcastically):
Won't roam

TEACHERS:
The hallways

ALL:
Forbidden to all but some

TEACHERS:
Consider yourself

STUDENTS:
Well in

TEACHERS:
Consider yourself

STUDENTS:
Part of the furniture

TEACHERS:
A lot of it is…

ALL:
Alive!
With caution, we will all survive

DUMBLEDORE:
Always remember that the forest is forbidden here
Things are hidden here, that's true
Magic is not allowed in the halls or corridors
Mr. Filch will see that through
Consider yourself our mate
We don't want to have no fuss

TEACHERS:
For after some consideration we can state

ALL:
Consider yourself one of us!

Food appears, the students sing and dance between mouthfuls

STUDENTS:
Consider yourself at home…
Remember that we can't roam…
Consider yourself well in…
A lot of it is alive

DUMBLEDORE:
On more announcement here
Listen here
I'm serious
Not delirious
Or crude
The corridor on the right above the stairs
Is off limits! Don't be rude!

STUDENTS:
Consider yourself our mate….
We don't want to have no fuss
For if we listen, just a little, he can state
Consider yourself once of us!

Dancing and eating

DUMBLEDORE (spoken)
Dismissed! First years follow your house prefects!

PERCY:
Consider yourself

FIRST YEAR GRYFFINDORS:
At home

PERCY:
Consider yourself

FIRST YEAR GRYFFINDORS:
One of the family

PERCY:
We've taken to you

ALL:
So strong
It's clear were going to get along

PERCY:
Consider yourself

FIRST YEAR GRYFFINDORS:
Well in

PERCY:
Consider yourself

FIRST YEAR GRYFFINDORS:
Part of the furniture

PERCY:
A lot of it is alive!

ALL:
Oh well, with caution we will survive

We are all serious
But curious
About the rules
We are not all fools
Or saints
But what is it that Dumbledore is hiding here
What a picture that he paints!

Consider yourself all right
We don't want to have no fuss
But what is hidden secretly away from sight
Consider yourself… One of us!

That's Debatable

Adapted from That's Your Funeral

THE SCENE: Professor Snape's Potions classroom, Snape enters as Harry is talking

SNAPE (sung):
Harry Potter you've finally come
Acting smart when you're really dumb
Think you are special, just because you're famous
Acting high and mighty, trying hard to shame us
Well in Potions class you will learn
That the tables I quickly turn
Slicing through the icing
You had thought was yours to earn

Harry Potter, what a hero
That's debatable

MALFOY and SLYTHERINS:
That's debatable

SNAPE:
You-Know-Who will run in fear, oh!
That's debatable!

MALFOY and SLYTHERINS:
That's debatable

SNAPE:
All the wizard world believes that in you they can trust
Maybe someday they will realize hope in you is bust
As for me, I won't believe it
Some will leave it plausible
That's a load of bull
That's negatable

SNAPE and SLYTHERINS:
That's debatable!

SNAPE:
Let me see if you are clever
(Aside) That's debatable!

MALFOY and SLYTHERINS:
(snickering) That's debatable!

SNAPE:
Now your pride I'm sure to sever

HARRY (underbreath):
That's debatable

SNAPE (overhearing) That's debatable!

Powdered root of asphodel and wormwood brew them up
What will happen to a bezoar when you've used it up
Wolfsbane, monkshood, I thought you would
Know, are they comparable?

Are they sharable?
Are they edible?
Are you credible?

HARRY:
I don't know what you are saying

SNAPE:
That is typical! Oh so typical!

HARRY:
But Hermione's hand is swaying

OTHER STUDENTS (laughing):
It's centripetal, it's centripetal

SNAPE:
For your cheek, I'll have to sneak
A point from Gryffindor
Harry Potter is there something else - could you say more!
I hang wizards by their gizzards
When they act insatiable
That's upgradeable
That's updateable

That's de…
MALFOY and SLYTHERINS
That's de…
BOTH
..batable!

We Got To Break A Rule Or Two Here

Adapted From You've Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two

THE SCENE: Hermione catches Ron and Harry sneaking out to duel Malfoy and Crabbe for Neville's Remembrall

HARRY (spoken):
You see, Hermione…

(sung) Malfoy wins when he cheats
Snape can give out his treats
Why should we drool about the rules
We've got to break a rule or two here

We've got to break a rule or two here
We've got to break a rule or two here

RON:
We don't drool about the rules
You've got to break a rule or two here!

HERMIONE (spoken):
But you'll lose Gryffindor house's points!

(sung) Don't you see what you do
Has a price for us, too
All of us here well need to fear
When you break a rule or two here

You shouldn't break a rule or two here
You shouldn't break a rule or two here

RON and HARRY:
(sarcastically) All of us will here need to fear
When you break a rule or two here

RON:
If we don't show up now
Malfoy wins, takes a bow
He will win fame, we'd be to blame
Unless we break a rule or two here

We've got to break a rule or two here
We've got to break a rule or two here

RON and HARRY:
He'll win fame, we'd be to blame
Unless we break a rule or two here

HERMIONE (spoken):
Fine! But…
(sung) I won't leave you alone
Until you've come back home
When you get caught, I'll say I sought
To stop you breaking rules around here

You shouldn't break a rule or two here
You shouldn't break a rule or two here

RON and HARRY:
If we're caught, I would think not!
Leave us break a rule or two here

HARRY:
Wait a sec, look outside
Neville's there, trying to hide
Let's get on track and come right back
Let's all break a rule or two here

ALL:
We've got to break a rule or two here
We've got to break a rule or two here

In the hallway

Get on track and come right back
Just breaking a rule or two here

Harry, Ron, and Hermione run the hall where they are interrupted by Peeves

PEEVES:
What is this? Students out
What is this all about?
Let me just call and rat you all!
(shouted) Students breaking rules over here!

Students breaking rules over here!
Students breaking rules over here!

Filch and Mrs. Norris appear and give chase

Dialogue:
HARRY: Run!
RON: Quick, over there!
HERMIONE: That's the forbidden corridor!
RON: Who cares! Open it!
HERMIONE: Alohomora!

HARRY, HERMIONE, and RON:
(sung) Just to keep us in the clear
We have to break a rule of two here!

The noise of Peeve's, Filch, and Mrs. Norris fades, but is replaced with heavy breathing, Fluffy wakes up and they rush off stage

Quidditch Rules

Adapted from I'd Do Anything

THE SCENE: The stadium, as Oliver Wood explains the rules of Quidditch.

WOOD (spoken):
Alright, Quidditch is easy enough to understand, even if it's not so easy to play. It goes this…pay attention!

(sung) When you play Quidditch
You've got to feel that itch
To fly above the pitch and soar
It's easy
Just remember this
And you will be in bliss
A game you'll never miss
There's more
(spoken) Listen up Potter! On each team…

(sung) Seven players swoop…

HARRY:
Seven men

WOOD:
All around three hoops

HARRY:
Three hoops

WOOD:
Which the Quaffle zooms…

HARRY:
Quaffle zooms!

WOOD:
From the chasers brooms!

HARRY:
Like basketball!

WOOD (spoken) What!?
(sung) I'm the keeper who
Protects the hoops for you
So we can finish through

HARRY:
Quidditch rules

WOOD:
Quidditch rules for you!

(spoken) Alright, that's the first part. But there's more, much more. You see, there's these Bludgers…

Wood releases the Bludgers, and sings while singing while dodging them

Bludgers are nasty balls
They find you - make you fall
They're black, erratic, but they miss
For every Bludger
A Beater tries
To save you from demise
Our Weasleys are very wise, at this

Have you got this all?

HARRY:
Getting there!

WOOD:
Can you play this fall?

HARRY:
I'll be there!

WOOD:
Don't mind if you fall?

HARRY:
Kind of scared

WOOD:
The best part of all…

HARRY:
What! There is more!

WOOD:
Yep!
Your job on the team
Your skills will be supreme
And make your future beam

HARRY:
What is it?

WOOD:
Seeker! It's your dream!

He releases the Golden Snitch

The best Seekers need…

HARRY:
Seekers need

WOOD:
Flying skill and speed

HARRY:
Skill and speed

WOOD:
When the Snitch is freed…

HARRY:
Snitch is freed

WOOD:
Let your sense lead!

HARRY:
Let senses lead!

WOOD:
The Golden Snitch anoints
One hundred fifty points
Ends the game case and point

HARRY:
Quidditch points!

WOOD & HARRY:
Quidditch rules for you!

Adapted From Oom - Pah - Pah!

THE SCENE: After the victory over Slytherin. Harry, Ron, and Hermione enter the Gryffindor common room

LEE JORDAN (spoken over the cheering):
Ladies and gentlemen, wizards and witches all! I draw your attention to our Conqueror of the Quidditch Field, The Swallower of the Snitch - Harry Potter! (cheering) How about a song, Weasleys!

FRED and GEORGE:
Alright! Alright!

FRED (sung):
Little Harry Potter
Has finally won a spot here
Especially after following and swallowing the Snitch!

GEORGE (sung):
He gave us the big game
And won himself some big fame
Clearly disappearing, now which Potter's which!

ALL:
Gry-ffin-dor! Gry-ffin-dor!
Finally won
Gry-ffin-dor! Gry-ffin-dor!
Slytherin's done!

FRED and GEORGE:
Potter the legend we couldn't thank more
When he saved Gry-ffin-dor!

FRED:
For too many years, oh
We've lost, so many tears, oh
But now with Harry Potter, we'll slaughter again!

GEORGE:
Never beaten Slytherin
But now, I guess they're done in
And second place in this race is clearly a win!

ALL:
Gry-ffin-dor! Gry-ffin-dor!
Finally won
Gry-ffin-dor! Gry-ffin-dor!
Slytherin's done!

FRED and GEORGE:
Potter our hero made our spirits soar
When he saved Gry-ffin-dor!

LEE JORDAN:
As I was announcing
The balls were all a-bouncing
The game it was intense and the fence was a roar!
It was quite a close call
But now we've got to boast all
The greatness and the grandeur of old Gryffindor!

ALL:
Gry-ffin-dor! Gry-ffin-dor!
Finally won
Gry-ffin-dor! Gry-ffin-dor!
Slytherin's done!

LEE JORDAN:
Now Harry Potter no one can ignore
Since he saved Gry-ffin-dor!

ANGELINA JOHNSON (spoken):
Okay now, let's listen to the coach!

WOOD:
Potter's not the best of us
Don't forget the rest of us
Every player fought for and sought for a win
Every player did it
That's how it works in Quidditch
But Harry, I'll just what a way to begin!

ALL:
Gry-ffin-dor! Gry-ffin-dor!
Finally won
Gry-ffin-dor! Gry-ffin-dor!
Slytherin's done!

END OF ACT I

ACT II

Who Am I (Reprise)

Adapted From Where Is Love (Reprise)

THE SCENE: Harry stands in front of the Mirror of Erised

HARRY:
Who is she?
Staring calmly back at me?
I look into the mirror and I see
What I want to be

Who am I?
Standing here about to cry
Seeking only love, asking why
Who am I?

Harry stares into the mirror and Dumbledore appears behind him

(spoken) I didn't see you, sir.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken): Strange how nearsighted being invisible can make you. (pause) So, you, like hundreds before you, have discovered the Mirror of Erised.

Harry nods

I supposed you realize what it does.

HARRY (spoken): It shows me my parents.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken): Yes, because you've never knew them but you want to. Let's see...the happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror like a normal mirror, does that help you understand it.

HARRY (spoken): Somewhat, it shows us what we want…whatever we want…

DUMBLEDORE (spoken): Yes and no. It shows us nothing more than the deepest, most desperate desire of our heart. However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge nor truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or not.

The mirror will be moved tomorrow and I ask you not to go looking for it again, unless it is by accident. Harry, you don't need a mirror to find what you truly want - even your parents' love.

Love Is Strong

Adapted from As Long As He Needs Me

DUMBLEDORE:
As long as love is strong
You will always belong
Your spirit sings a song
Whenever love is strong

Your parent's love is near
It helps you fight your fears
It will bring joy and tears
Whenever love is strong

You miss them terribly
I understand
But they are clearly
At your right hand

Because their love is true
It's always helping you
Find love you never knew
As long as love is strong

Remember that they died for you
Your mother's tears, she cried for you
She put your life above
Her own that's love

As long as love is great
All hatred dissipates
The void that hate creates
Is gone when love is strong

You should not have to cry
Or ask the question why
Love is your greatest try
As long as love is strong

If you are lonely
Along the way
Remember only
What I've to say

Love won't betray your trust
It's kind, it's true, it's just
Love will go on, it must
For love is always strong

On Hogwarts Ground

Adapted From Be Back Soon

THE SCENE: In the library

HAGRID:
Hello gang how have you been
I have heard that you've been peeping
At books about Flamel
I can see, I can tell
Didn't I say you should stop
Seeking for what Hogwarts's keeping
Don't you looking 'round
On Hogwarts ground

RON:
We're sorry but
The secret cut
Suspicion from the get go

HERMIONE:
It's true that I've
Not yet derived
The reason Flamel would let go

THE TRIO:
We know the Sorcerer's Stone
Is hidden in this place
We'll just look around
Above - underground
On Hogwarts ground

HAGRID:
I can tell this is not good
But let me tell my secret
Please meet me after class
Let no time, come to pass
Come on over, come on by
And you'll see my newest pet
And don't let out a sound
On Hogwarts ground

Hagrid leaves with a stack of dragon books

HARRY (walking to Hagrid's hut)
I wonder what's up
With Hagrid's cup
Of secretive deception

RON:
Hagrid looks
At dragon books

HERMIONE:
Then calls us up for reception

THE TRIO:
We know that Hagrid's hobby
Is keeping pets around
The secrets are here
They always are near
On Hogwarts ground

The Trio arrive at the hut as the dragon egg is hatching

HAGRID:
Hello kids, glad you have come
I welcome you to witness
My little dragon's birth
His name shall be - Norbert
When he hatches he'll be strong
He'll have health and life and fitness
Don't let the word spread 'round
On Hogwarts ground

HARRY:
Hagrid, this is nuts!
He must leave your hut
Today, perhaps tomorrow
We'll miss him too
It's what we must do
Regardless of your sorrow

THE TRIO:
We'll help you smuggle Norbert
We will not raise a sound
He'll be better off
When we get him off
Of Hogwarts ground


HAGRID: THE TRIO:
With a passion that's intense
I don't like this plan at all
I don't think it's fair and even
I will not follow through
No matter what you say or do

But if this is
What it takes
To keep you all from leaving
Just stop this looking 'round
On Hogwarts ground
When we've followed through
You'll say thank you
Because we've saved you sorrow
Now could you speak.
How we could sneak, past Fluffy
And what will follow
Just tell us who's behind it, and we won't
Say a sound
What should we fear when we get near
On Hogwarts ground


HAGRID:
There's nothing more to see here
I cannot speak a sound
Take care of my dear
And send him clear
Of Hogwarts ground

HARRY:
There's more to be said
Some light to shed
On Hogwarts ground

THE TRIO:
There's more to find out
What's hidden about
On Hogwarts ground

They take Norbert, whistle up to the tower, send him off to Charlie in Romania, and are subsequently caught by Mr. Filch. Gryffindor loses One-hundred and fifty points, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Malfoy receive detentions with Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest

His Name

Adapted From My Name

THE SCENE: The Forbidden Forest. Harry sees Voldemort drinking the slain unicorn's blood, and is rescued by Firenze

Dialogue

FIRENZE: Are you all right?
HARRY: Yes - thank you - what was that?
FIRENZE: You are the Potter boy are you not?
HARRY: Yes
FIRENZE: I thought perhaps you would have recognized it then.

Harry is stunned

The scar - it burns when he's around, doesn't it.
HARRY: You mean, that - that thing was Vol -
FIRENZE: You should not mention his name so freely. But, yes…it's true

(sung) You-Know-Who is always lurking
His dark powers still are working
His malicious grin is smirking
Nobody mentions…his name!
In dark corners people mutter
When they hear his name they shudder
He's the one who killed your mother
Nobody mentions…his name!

Tonight
Mars is shining bright
You-Know-Who is on the rise
You saw
Him live on through fright
Even with your very eyes

You have witnessed his frustration
With his murderous illustration
He is working up his station
Just to live up to…his name!

(whispered) Voldemort!

(sung) You should leave the forest quickly
Even though his form is sickly
You scar's getting very prickly
Just when you mention…his name!

Watch out!
Always be on guard
You will have to fight to win
Your fate
Is looking rather hard
But you might as well begin

Harry - you could be a saviour
Destroy You-Know-Who's behaviour
But, now, I will have to save you
Life from the likes of….his name

What is it? Who was it? Who is he?

Voldemort!

Hog - A -Warts! (Reprise) - Hag - R - Id!

Adapted From O - Li - Ver! (Reprise)

THE SCENE: Hagrid's hut

HARRY, RON, and HERMIONE:
Hag - r - id! Hag - r - id!

HARRY:
Where did you say you found your dragon egg?

HAGRID:
The Hog's Head, The Hog's Head

HARRY:
What did you say to that man, please I beg!

HAGRID:
I'm not sure because he constantly gave me another round

HARRY:
Did you mention anything that's particular hiding on Hogwart's ground?

HAGRID:
He did ask, if my task
Of keeping Fluffy was ever a chore
So I told him that
A little music
Makes him snore!

HAGRID (spoken): I shouldn'ta told yeh that! Forget I said it! Hey - where're yeh goin'?

It's A Fine House (Reprise) - This Is My House!

Adapted From It's A Fine Life (Reprise)

THE SCENE: Gryffindor common room. Neville catches Harry, Ron, and Hermione sneaking out again

RON and HERMIONE:
We're going! We're going!

HARRY:
Fine! But we've have to leave

RON and HERMINONE:
Your cloak is all knowing!

Fine...

HERMIONE:
Sorry!

The boys hold their pitches, Hermione shouts Petrificus Totalus! - Neville freezes - They glissando down to finish and exit through the portrait hole

Reviewing The Situation

Adapted From Reviewing The Situation

THE SCENE: The Trio enters the forbidden corridor

HARRY (spoken):
Well, we've got to play some music to get past Fluffy!

The music begins

(sung) This is the door - finally!
Opened before - possibly!
From this point we no longer can turn back, give up, call it quits
Jump through this tunnel, the real trial starts, this is it!

They jump down the tunnel into the Devil's Snare plant

RON and HARRY (spoken):
What is this?

HERMIONE:
(sung) I'm reviewing the situation
This is Devil's Snare, stop moving, just relax
I am thinking of the solution
Got to put to use Sprout's herbologic facts
It's Devil's Snare that likes the dark
If I could find a little spark
We light a fire by the plant
But with no wood, I guess we can't

RON (muffled):
Maybe you should use your wand

HERMIONE (excited):
To summon light - release your bond!
Good thing that I have studied once again!

Hermione's wand bursts with light, Ron and Harry are freed

RON (spoken mockingly):
Start a fire, honestly!

HARRY (spoken):
Do you hear that?
(sung) The next task is there - finally!
Wings in the air - possibly!
Yet another door locked and another new challenging room!
A fluttering host of wings, why have they left us a broom?

I'm reviewing the situation
I'm the youngest Seeker that this school has seen
Flying quickly but with patience
Just like Quidditch I could find the "Snitch" -- the key
There it flies above with broken wing
It is no match for my flying
I'll catch it high above the floor
And use it to unlock the door
This flying key with wings is through
I'll catch it easily, I knew
That Quidditch practice would help me again!

Harry flies and catches the key, the large door opens on a dark room that slowly dims up

RON (spoken) What's this? A giant chess board! We'll have to take their places and play our way across the room!

(sung) This is the board - possibly
I have looked forward - finally
To using my wizard chess knowledge to win us the game
If I beat this chess board, my brothers can't treat me the same

I'm reviewing the situation
Harry takes the bishop, I will take the knight!
With my wisdom, our foundation
I am sure that will all come out alright!
Hermione now you take your place

The white pawn begins to move

As castle and keep up to pace
Now Harry move diagonally
And I will kill triumphantly

Pieces begin moving and getting smashed

I see it now my last device
Will have to be a sacrifice!

Harry and Hermione protest

I think that I have triumphed once again!

The Queen smashes Ron's knight

RON (spoken):
Go on, Harry! I'll be alright!

The King lays down his crown, Hermione and Harry move on

HERMIONE (spoken):
Look! A message!

(reading and singing) This is the task - finally!
From potion's class - you will see
That this puzzle is solved as riddle with logic in use
Seven jars, potion or poison, for you to deduce

I'm reviewing the situation
Three are poison, two are helpful, two are fakes
Process of elimination
Making sure as not to make mistakes
I'll have to solve this paradox
And always think outside the box
The outside jars are not the best
I'm analyzing all the rest
I cannot leave this up to chance
This little jar is for advance
Oh Harry - go now through the fire
And save us when we're on the wire

I hope that you can beat him once again!

Harry walks through the fire and sees Quirrell standing by the Mirror of Erised, they fight being underscored by music. Dumbledore arrives and saves Harry. Blackout. Light fade up in hospital wing, Dumbledore sitting beside Harry

As Long As Love Is Strong (Reprise)

Adapted from As Long As He Needs Me (Reprise)

THE SCENE: Pomfrey's infirmary. Harry wakes up, with Dumbledore beside him.

DUMBLEDORE:
You fought the fight, you found the Stone
This lesson you will now have known
Has taught you more than fate
Will make you great

As long as love is strong
It shows what's right and wrong
It helps us all belong
Whenever love is strong

The Flamels made the Stone
To buy a life on loan
But now they can move on
Knowing that love is strong

That death
Is only a passing through
A great adventure
That will come true

The love of those who care
Protects you everywhere
It hovers in the air
You know that love is strong

Hogwarts' Final Banquet

Adapted from I'd Do Anything (Reprise)

THE SCENE: The Great Hall, at the end-of-year feast.

DUMBLEDORE (spoken): Now, as I understand it, the house cup here needs awarding, and the points stand thus: In fourth place, Gryffindor, with three hundred and twelve points; in third, Hufflepuff, with three hundred and fifty-two; Ravenclaw has four hundred and twenty-six and Slytherin, four hundred and seventy-two.

Cheering and booing

But, I have a few last minute points to dish out. Let me see….

(sung) To Ron Weasley, yes
For the best game of chess
And daring excellence
Fifty points!

Cheering

And also
Granger for her skill
Cool headed logic will
Receive this lovely bill
Fifty points!

More cheering

Let us also praise, Harry Potter
For his daring ways - Harry Potter
Let him fight his days knowing that
Sixty points are his!

But wait once more

Neville Longbottom
You may forget 'bout him
His courage has bought him
Ten more points for you!

(spoken) Which means, we need a little change of decoration!

The music continues over the cheering as Gryffindor banners appear all around the Great Hall

Reviewing the Situation (Reprise)

Adapted from Reviewing the Situation (Reprise)

THE SCENE: The next and final day at Hogwarts

HARRY:
Back to the world - adversely
From which I've been hurled - the Dursleys

All my newest companions and friends
I will leave them behind
But only for summer
Then I will be back here to find

The music continues as Harry boards the Hogwarts Express

FINALE: Owls, Dozens Of Owls (Reprise)

Adapted from Food, Glorious Food (Reprise)

THE SCENE: The Hogwarts Express

CHORUS OF HOGWARTS STUDENTS:
Owls, dozens of owls
We no longer hear them
Great glorious fowls
Can't wait to be near them
One summer we'll have to spend
At home far from Hogwarts
But summer will surely end
When school starts

HARRY (shouted):
See you next year!

Consider Yourself (Reprise)

Adapted from Consider Yourself (Reprise)

THE ENTIRE CAST:
Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We hope that your mind won't roam
From Hogwarts, where we can get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
A lot of it is alive
Oh well, with caution you will survive

Though there is danger here, lurking 'round in every hall
Dangers great a small
Why care?
With a friend at hand, loving everyone and all
All our troubles we can share!

Consider yourself our mate
We don't want to have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us!
