Goin' Back to Hogwarts - A Very Potter Musical | Piano Tutorial

Piano tutorial for 'Goin' Back to Hogwarts' from A Very Potter Musical.
So this took me more hours to do than I care to admit! I know it's not 100% perfect but it's as close as I'm ever going to get! This song lends itself to a bit of improvisation particularly during the dialogue parts so you really don't have to follow the video exactly. I was thinking about adding captions with the lyrics to make it easier to follow, let me know if that would be useful :)
If you use this for any kind of cover it would be ~totally awesome~ if you could link back to this video/channel. Have fun playing!

Lyrics: 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.

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 [ALL] 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!

[CHO CHANG & 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. [LAVENDER, 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.

[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! [STUDENTS] 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!

Welcome, welcome, welcome Hogwarts Welcome hotties, nerds, and tools Now that I've got you here at Hogwarts I'd, um, 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!"

copy and pasted from a website, i’ve seen the website bud, you ain’t fooling me www.google.ca/amp/s/genius.com/amp/Team-starkid-goin-back-to-hogwarts-annotated

[@uselesspaperclip9421]

veellia I don’t think they ever said they wrote the lyrics themselves, word for word. They just put this here so people wouldn’t have to switch back and forth between going to a website and coming back....

[@vivianhagedorn2793]

I'd love it if you could do "Granger Danger" (AVP) or "I wanna be" (Starship) or like any other starkid songs, haha (Firebringer especially). Love this!!
