The Patronus Charm
To the tune of I Feel Pretty
LUPIN and HARRY are practicing the Patronus Charm.
LUPIN: I'm teaching you
A useful spell
That spell is called the Patronus Charm
If you use it
The dementors will leave you unharmed
First say the words
The magic words
They go Expecto Patronum
Wave your wand then
And part of the magic will be done
Then prepare yourself for the harder part
Think of something very happy
If you concentrate really hard on that, they'll leave you alone, which means victory!
They try to suck
Good memories
And every happy thought out of you
But outsmarting dementors is what you'll do
HARRY tries the Patronus Charm, but passes out.
HARRY: I thought of a nice, happy memory
The first time I got on a broom
I felt really light and so cheery
And my heart went on a journey to the moon
But it didn't work
And I still passed out
LUPIN: So try something else
You'll get it, no doubt
HARRY tries again and still passes out.
HARRY: Last year when I won
The Gryffindor House Cup
That was really great
But still not enough
HARRY tries again and manages to remain conscious and to get a silvery Patronus out of his wand.
HARRY: Now I got a thought even better
When I read my first Hogwarts letter
I got away from
The Dursleys for a year
That memory worked
My Patronus appeared!
LUPIN: Now you've mastered
This advanced spell
The spell that's called the Patronus Charm
HARRY: I will use it
And dementors will leave me unharmed
LUPIN: First say the words
The magic words
They go Expecto Patronum
Wave your wand then
And part of the magic will be done
HARRY: Then I must prepare for the harder part
Think of something very happy
If I concentrate really hard on that, they'll leave me alone, which means victory!
BOTH: They try to suck
Good memories
And every happy thought out of you
But outsmarting dementors is what you'll/I'll do!
