Be a Wizard

[Albus Dumbledore had gotten to his feet. He was beaming at the students, his arms opened wide, as if nothing could have pleased him more than to see them all there.

"Welcome," he said. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are..."]

So you wanted to be a wizard
Let me tell you that you've come to the right place
For transforming a frog to a lizard
See McGonagall, our transfiguring ace

If the way Snape treats you is frightening
I suggest you work to mix your potions well
Flitwick's small but he charms like lightning
Now relax, lean back, and sit down for a spell

You'll fly when the magic of your broomstick takes you higher
You will shrink, enlarge, make water, and make fire
As you're building brand new friendships
You'll feel fine

Just keep your eyes focused on the magic you must learn
You will need to practice well every spell that you have earned
It's a strong and true vibration
It's a warmth beneath your skin
So come and take your wand
And in your class
We will begin
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooooooooooooooo!

Very soon you will be a wizard!

["Thank you!"

He sat back down. Everybody clapped and cheered. Harry didn't know whether to laugh or not.

"Is he -- a bit mad?" he asked Percy uncertainly.

"Mad?" said Percy airily. "He's a genius! Best wizard in the world! But he is a bit mad, yes. Potatoes, Harry?"]
