Harry Potter: The Musical

Remember how I get distracted sometimes? And I think of silly things. Like Harry Potter: The Musical. I wish I could write Harry Potter: The Musical. But as much as I love musicals, I can't write music. So, I think about all the songs in musicals that I already know, and I pretend that they're in Harry Potter: The Musical.

Sometimes, I pick the songs based on the titles. Sometimes, I change the lyrics a bit to fit the story. And then I pick the characters who get to sing them. Sometimes, like this time, I get slightly obsessed. And sometimes.... I crack myself up so hard.

So today, I give you

Harry Potter: The Musical

Important Note: I have not divided this play into acts. The songs are not in order. If you are Harry Potter fans, you will know when each song is supposed to happen. In fact, maybe there are some songs that should be in here and are missing. Let's make this a group effort. If there is a song that fits, leave a comment with the title of the song, the original musical play/movie (because I've included Disney music) that it's from, and the character who should sing it.

So here's what I've got so far (with my own adaptations, including occasional lyric excerpts and/or changes--I'll put the original title and musical next to them):

• Just Around the U-Bend (Just Around the Riverbend--Pocahontas) -- Moaning Myrtle

I'll get a fresh start tomorrow, and it's not due til Wednesday, so I'll have all of Tuesday, unless something should happen. Why does this always happen? I should be outside playing, getting fresh air and sunshine!"
• Make 'Em Laugh (Singin' In the Rain) -- Fred and George
