(Dun dun, dun dun, dun duun, dun dun! duh-duh duh-duh duh-duh duh)

The Harry Potter theme becomes the American Idol theme!

"Welcome everyone! This is Ryan Gillyweed here hosting Hogwarts Idol!" said the host as the spotlight swung across the stage. "We have gone through many stages of auditions, and finally, we've reached our top twelve! But before we meet our contestants, let's give a round of applause for the judges who have brought us through these first few weeks!

"Give it up for out judges!

Randy Jarvey!" Randy waves at the crowd as they applaud him.

"Paula Abduel" (Get it? Duel?) Paula smiled and took a sip of butter beer.

"And Simon Cauldron!" There was a mixture of applause of booing as Simon just sat there with a smile on his face.

Ryan waited for the applause to die down, before he said…

"Now let's welcome the best of the best, the only twelve who have survived the harsh criticisms of judges these past few weeks. Our contestants are….

"Harry Potter! Ginny Weasley! Hermione Granger! Ronald Weasley! Draco Malfoy! Nymphadora Tonks! Parvati Patil! Lavender Brown! Angelina Johnson! Luna Lovegood! Ernie Macmillan! Aaanndd…Seamus Finnigan!"
