Harry:
Underneath these stairs I hear the sneers and feel the glares
Of my cousin, my uncle and my aunt
Can't believe how cruel they are
And it stings my lightning scar
To know they'll never
Ever give me what I want

I know I don't deserve these
Awful rules made by the Dursleys
Here on Privet Drive
Can't take these stupid Muggles
But despite all of my struggles
I'm still alive

I'm sick of summer and this waiting around
Man, it's September so I'm skippin' this town
Hey, it's no mystery
There's nothing here for me now

I gotta get back to Hogwarts
I gotta get back to school
I gotta get myself to Hogwarts
Where everyone thinks I'm cool

Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghost and to magical feasts
It's all that I love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts
Hogwarts
I think I'm going back

I'll see my friends
Gonna laugh til we cry
Take my Firebolt
Gonna take to the sky
No way this year anyone's gonna die
And it's gonna be
Totally awesome!

I'll cast some spells
With the flick of my wand
Defeat the Dark Arts
Yeah, bring it on
And do it all
With my best friend, Ron
'Cause together we're totally awesome

Ron:
Yeah, 'cause together we're totally awesome!

Ron, spoken:
Did somebody say, "Ron"?

Harry, spoken:
Ron, what are you doing here?

Ron, spoken:
Hey man, sorry it took me so long to get here, I had to get some Floo Powder. But, get everything you need and let's get going.

Harry, spoken:
Where are we going?

Ron, spoken:
To Diagon Alley, of course!

Harry, spoken:
Cool!

Harry and Ron:
Floo Powder power!
Floo Powder power!
Floo Powder power!
Floo Powder power!

Ron:
It's been so long
But we're going back
Don't go for work
Don't go there for class

Harry:
As long as we're together —

Ron:
— Gonna kick some ass

Harry and Ron:
And it's gonna be totally awesome!
This year we'll take everybody by storm
Stay up all night
Sneak out of our dorm

Hermione:
But let's not forget
That we need to perform well in class
If we want to pass our O.W.L.s!

Ron, spoken:
Oh, Hermione, why do you have to such a buzzkill?

Hermione, spoken:
Because, guys, school's not all about fun and games! We have to study hard if we wanna be good wizards and witches! Ugh!

(sung)
I may be frumpy, but I'm super smart
Check out my grades
They're A's, for a start
What I lack in looks, well, I make up in heart
And well guys, yeah, that's totally awesome
This year, I plan to study a lot —

Ron:
That would be cool if you were actually hot

Harry:
Hey, Ron, come on!
We're the only friends that she's got!

Ron:
And that's cool

Hermione:
And that's totally awesome

Harry, Ron and Hermione:
Yeah, it's so cool
And it's totally awesome!

We're sick of summer and this waiting around
It's like we're sitting in the Lost and Found
Don't take no sorcery
For anyone to see how

We gotta get back to Hogwarts
We gotta get back to school
We gotta get ourselves to Hogwarts
Where everything is magi-cool

Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that we love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts
Hogwarts
I think we're going back!

Ginny, spoken:
Ron! You were supposed to take me to Madam Malkin's and use those Sickles mom gave you for my robe fitting!

Harry, spoken:
Who's this?

Ron, spoken:
Ah, this is stupid, dumb, little sister, Ginny. Ginny, this is Harry... Potter.

Ginny, spoken:
Whoa, you're Harry Potter! You're the Boy Who Lived!

Harry, spoken:
Yeah, and you're Ginny.

Ginny, spoken:
It's Ginevra!

Harry, spoken:
I'll just stick with "Ginny."

Ron, spoken:
Stupid sister! Don't crowd the famous friend!

Hermione, spoken:
Do you guys hear music?

Ron, spoken:
Yeah, someone's coming!

Cho Chang and Friends:
Cho Chang
Domo arigato
Cho Chang
Gung hay fat choy, Chang
Happy, Happy New Year
Cho Chang

Ginny, spoken:
Whoa! Who's that?

Harry, spoken:
That's... that's Cho Chang.

Ron, spoken:
Yeah, that's the girl Harry's been totally in love with since Freshman year.

Hermione, spoken:
Yeah, but he won't say anything to her.

Ron, spoken:
Well, yeah, you never tell a girl you like her, it makes you look like an idiot!

Ginny, spoken:
Konnichi wa, Cho Chang! It is good to meet you. I am Ginny Weasley.

Lavandar, spoken:
Bitch, I ain't Cho Chang!

Ron, spoken:
That's Lavender Brown! Racist, sister!

Cho, spoken:
Oh, that's alright. I'm Cho Chang, y'all!

Harry, spoken:
Ah... she's perfect.

Ron, spoken:
Yeah, but too bad she's dating Cedric Diggory, though.

Harry, spoken:
Seriously, who the hell is Cedric Diggory?

Ron, spoken:
He's that guy, you know, he's just, like, huge and tall-

Cedric:
Cho Chang
I am so in love
With Cho Chang
From Bangkok to Din Daeng
I'll sing my love aloud
For Cho Chang

Harry, spoken:
Ugh, I hate that guy!

Draco, spoken:
Did someone say Draco Malfoy?

Harry, spoken:
Malfoy, what do you want?

Draco, spoken:
So, Potter, back for another year at Hogwarts are you? Maybe this year you'll wise up and hang out with a higher caliber of wizard!

Harry, spoken:
Listen, Draco. Ron and Hermione are my best friends in the whole world, I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Draco, spoken:
Have it your way. Wait, don't tell me; red hair, hand me down clothes and a stupid complexion. You must be a Weasley.

Ron, spoken:
Hey! Lay of my sister, okay? She may be a pain in the ass, but she's my pain in the ass.

Draco, spoken:
Oh, isn't this cute? It's like a little loser family! Hogwarts has really gone to the dogs. But luckily next year, I'll be transferred to Pigfarts!

(sung)
This year, you bet
Gonna get out of here
The reign of Malfoy is drawing near
I'll have the greatest wizard career
It's gonna be totally awesome

Look out, world, for the dawn of the day
When everyone will do
Whatever I say!
And Potter won't be in my way
Then I'll be the one who is totally awesome

Goyle:
Yeah, you'll be the one that is totally awesome

Hermione, spoken:
Guys, come on! We're gonna miss the train!

Students:
Who knows how fast
This year's gonna go?
Hand me a glass
Let the butterbeer flow

Harry:
Maybe, at last, I'll talk to Cho!

Ron:
Oh no - that would way too awesome!

Student:
We're back to learn everything that we can
It's great to come back to where we began
And here we are
And Alakazam!
Here we go, this is totally awesome!

Come on and teach us everything you know
The summer's over and we're itching to go

Neville:
I think we're ready for
Albus Dumbledore

Student:
Ahhh...

Dumbledore:
Welcome
All of you to Hogwarts
I welcome all of you to school
Did you know that here at Hogwarts
We've got a hidden swimming pool?
Welcome, welcome, welcome Hogwarts
Welcome hotties, nerds, and tools
Now that I've got you here at Hogwarts
I'd like to go over just a couple of rules

(spoken)
My name is Albus Dumbledore and I am Headmaster of Hogwarts. You can all call me "Dumbledore." I suppose you can also call me "Albus" if you want a detention. Nope, I'm just kidding. I'll expel you if you call me "Albus!"

Students:
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that I love and it's all that I need at Hogwarts
Hogwarts

Back to spells and enchantments
Potions and friends
To-

Gryffindor students:
Gryffindor!

Hufflepuff students:
Hufflepuff!

Ravenclaw students:
Ravenclaw!

Slytherin students:
Slytherin!

Students:
Back to the place where our story begins
At Hogwarts
Hogwarts

Dumbledore:
I'm sorry, what's its name?

Students:
Hogwarts
Hogwarts

Dumbledore:
I didn't hear you, kids!

Students:
Hogwarts!
Hogwarts!

Harry, spoken:
Man, I'm glad I'm back!
