Come To Hogwarts

To the tune of Under The Sea by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (from The Little Mermaid)

(Harry is looking uncertainly at Hagrid in the hut on the rock. The Dursleys look on in horror as Hagrid breaks out into song)
Harry, listen to me, the muggle world is a mess,
life at Hogwarts is better than anything they got out there.

The Dursleys, they seem more meaner when viewed from a different world.
They dream of a muggle full world, but that is big mistake.
Just at the room around you, wet boards and a rotten floor.
Such wonderful things await you, come on with me through this door.

Life at Hogwarts!
Life at Hogwarts!
Harry it's better, Your Hogwarts letter will take you to see.
At Privet Drive you work all day,
Harry, let me take you away.
You'll be devoting full time to flying at Hoggy-warts!

At Hogwarts the kids are happy,
As wands through the air they wave.
The kids at St Brutus' are sad cos they in a cell.
But Harry, yes you are lucky,
You in for a better fate
The day when you start at Hogwarts,
You'll find you will find a mate.

Life at Hogwarts!
Life at Hogwarts!
Harry it's better, Your Hogwarts letter will take you to see.
At Privet Drive you work all day,
Harry, let me take you away.
You'll be devoting full time to flying at Hoggy-warts.
At Hoggy-warts.
Since life is magic you won't be tragic with the Dursleys!

Harry believe me when I say,
you will fit in right away.
You got a scar, you'll be a star!
At Hoggy-warts.

Your wand with it's core of pheonix feather.
In hat and your robes, oh Harry you'll go.
A broomstick you'll learn to fly early on,
And then I'll watch you go.

A seeker you'll be, like your father Harry.
A Gryffindor hero no doubt you will be.
You'll earn lots of points, how happy you'll be.
And I will watch you grow!

(Instrumental during which Hagrid conjures up many images of what life will be like at
Hogwarts using his umbrella, while dancing around the hut. It shakes dangerously.)

Oh yeah Harry!
You'll feel so free!
When you get started you'll feel you've parted with nobody!
What do you got? Not a lot!
Right now you have got squat!
But life at Hogwarts will be fantastic I guarantee!
So me tell now Harry, will you be coming with me?

(Harry finally looks convinced and bursts into song enthusiastically)

Of course I will Hagrid!
Hogwarts sounds fab yeah
I'm coming to see it right now
if you'll let me please Hagrid I want to be
madly in love with Hooooooogwaaaaaaarts!

(Harry follows Hagrid out of the hut, slamming the door behind him. The hut collapses on the stunned Dursleys)
