"Goin' Back To Hogwarts" Lyrics

Lyrics by Darren Criss

HARRY:
Underneath these stairs
I hear the sneers and feel glares of
My cousin, my uncle and my aunt.

Can't believe how cruel they are
And it stings my lighting scar
To know that they'll never ever give me what I want.

I know I don't deserve these
Stupid rules made by the Dursleys
Here on Privet drive.

Can't take all of these muggles,
But despite all of my struggles,
I'm still alive.

I’m sick of summer and this waiting around.
Man, it’s September, and I’m skipping 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.
Gotta get myself to Hogwarts,
Where everybody knows I'm cool.

Back to wizards and witches, and magical beasts,
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts.
It’s all that I love, and it's all that I need.
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 a flick of my wand
Defeat the dark arts, yeah bring it on!
And do it all with my best friend Ron, 'cuz together we're totally awesome

RON: yeah, and it's gonna be totally awesome!

Dialogue

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 were together--

RON:
-- gonna kick some ass

HARRY & 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 OWLS!

Dialogue

HERMIONE:
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, 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 back to Hogwarts
Where everything is magic-cooooool

EVERYONE:
Back to wizards and witches, 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

HARRY, RON, HERMIONE:
--- I think we're going back...
CHO’s POSSY:

Dialogue

CEDRIC:
Oh, Cho Chang
I am so in love with Cho Chang
From Bangkok to Ding Dang
I sing my love aloud for Cho Chang

Dialogue

MALFOY:
This year you bet I’m gonna get outta here
The reign of Malfoy is drawing near
I’ll have the greatest wizard career,
And its gonna be totally awesome

Look out world, for the dawn of the day
When everyone will do whatever I say
And that Potter wont be in my way, and then
I’ll be the one who is totally awesome!

GOYLE:
Yeah you’ll be the one who is totally awesome.

HERMIONE: Come on guys! Were gonna miss the train!

ALL:
Who knows how fast this years gonna go?
Hand me a glass, let the butterbeer flow

HARRY:
Maybe at last, I’m gonna talk to Cho,

RON:

ALL:

It’s great to come back to where we began
And here we are, and alakazam! here we go, this is totally awesome!
