Hogwarts Wizarding School

by Faerie Green

A song in praise of Hogwarts... to the tune of "The Fool on the Hill." (My most sincere apologies to the Beatles and to J.K.Rowling for the butchering of their art.)

"Hogwarts Wizarding School"

Each year our school honors its bonds,

Filled with the wizard youths we're teaching magic with wands

Nobody knows where we are

But they know that the work we do

Is teaching all of their children

And the classes we teach are like magical fuel

So the students all love Hogwarts Wizarding School

Here we teach class, from Potions to Charms

Defense Against the Dark Arts in case we all take up arms

Arithmancy, Transfiguration,

Care of Magical Creatures too

(And those classes are just samples)

And the classes we teach are like magical fuel

So the students all love Hogwarts Wizarding School

The founders all built our school from the ground

With magical goals to keep our staff and students spellbound

They each came with diff'rent values

And talents they wished to share

It was thus they were brought together

And the classes we teach are like magical fuel

So the students all love Hogwarts Wizarding School

Houses were named for the founders four

The points that we give and take determine each house's score

Brave Gryffindors, shrewd Slytherins,

Hufflepuff's a hard working crew,

And Ravenclaws all love knowledge

And the classes we teach are like magical fuel

So the students all love Hogwarts Wizarding School

If you get an owl with the Hogwarts seal

Come to our school and see what your first year will reveal

You may not fight a dark wizard

Or win every quidditch match

But we're sure you'll enjoy the magic

And the classes we teach are like magical fuel

So we're sure you will love Hogwarts Wizarding School
