LYRICS:

HARRY:
Is this my real life?
Is this all it will be?
Stuck at the Dursleys’
No escape from this family

WIZARDING CHORUS:
Open it up
Read what’s inside and see

HARRY:
I'm just an orphan, who would be writing me?
‘cause I have no friends, no pen pals
Don’t get bills or catalogs
No library sends me notices about my late fees

WIZARDING CHORUS:
Late fees

VOLDEMORT:
Harry, just killed your mom
Put a wand against her head
Said the curse, and now she’s dead
Harry, your life has just begun
But now I’m gonna throw it all away

Harry, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
But you won’t be alive this time tomorrow
And I’ll carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

VOLDEMORT (spoken):
…except me! Muahahaha! Avada Kedavra!

VOLDEMORT:
It can’t be—my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the sudden
Goodbye Harry Potter—I've got to go
Gotta leave this body behind and hide in Albania
Harry, ooo
I’m not gonna die
I’ll see you again in eleven years or so…

HARRY:
I see a large silhouetto of a man

HAGRID:
Open up, open up, open up the door this instant

HARRY:
Thunderbolts and lightning—very very frightening me

HAGRID:
Harry Potter!

HARRY:
Aunt Petunia!

HAGRID:
Harry Potter!

HARRY:
Uncle Vernon!

HAGRID:
Harry Potter, it’s Hagrid.

HARRY:
Hello

HAGRID:
Hello-o-o-o

HARRY:
I'm just an orphan, nobody loves me

DURSLEYS:
He's just an orphan from a dead family
Spare us our lives from you monstrosities

HAGRID (spoken):
Harry, you’re a wizard! Come to Hogwarts!

HARRY:
Easy come, easy go—will you let me go to Hogwarts

DURSLEYS:
No—we will not let you go

HARRY:
Let me go! To Hogwarts

DURSLEYS:
We will not let you go

HAGRID:
Let him go!

HARRY:
To Hogwarts

DURSLEYS:
We will not let you go

HARRY:
Let me go!

DURSLEYS:
Will not let you go

HARRY:
Let me go

DURSLEYS:
Will not let you go—oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

HARRY:
Oh Aunt Petunia, Aunt Petunia, Aunt Petunia let me go
‘Cause Dumbledore has a spot put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you can make me live under the stairs?
So you think you can tell me my parents were squares?
Oh Dursleys—can't do this to me, Dursleys
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

I am Harry Potter
What does it all mean?
Turns out I’m a wizard
And everyone around here knows me

WIZARDING CHORUS:
You are Harry Potter...
