AVPM Script.

Act 1
Scene 1

HARRY
UNDERNEATH THESE STAIRS
I HEAR THE SNEERS AND FEEL THE GLARES
OF MY COUSIN, MY UNCLE AND MY AUNT.
I 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
STUPID RULES MADE BY THE DURSLEYS
HERE ON PRIVET DRIVE
I 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
I GOTTA GET MYSELF TO HOGWARTS
WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS I'M COOL

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!

I'M GOIN' BACK.

I'LL SEE MY FRIENDS, GONNA LAUGH TILL 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
CAUSE TOGETHER WE'RE TOTALLY AWESOME!

RON
AND IT'S GONNA BE TOTALLY AWESOME!
Did somebody say Ron Weasley? Whoo!

HARRY

[they hug]

RON
Sorry it took me so long to get here, I had to go get some floopowder. But we gotta get going, come on, get your trunk, let's go!

HARRY

TOGETHER

RON

DON'T GO FOR WORK, DON'T GO THERE FOR CLASS

HARRY
AS LONG AS WE'RE TOGETHER--

RON

TOGETHER
AND IT'S GONNA BE TOTALLY AWESOME!

THIS YEAR WE'LL TAKE EVERYBODY BY STORM
STAY UP ALL NIGHT, SNEAK OUT OF OUR DORMS!

HERMIONE
WELL LET'S NOT FORGET THAT WE NEED TO PERFORM WELL IN CLASS
IF WE WANT TO PASS OUR OWLS!

RON
God Hermione, why do you have to be such a party kill?

HERMIONE
Because, guys, school's not all about having fun! We need to study hard if we want to be good witches and wizards!

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, THAT IS TOTALLY AWESOME!

THIS YEAR I PLAN TO STUDY A LOT

RON
THAT WOULD BE COOL IF YOU WERE ACTUALLY HOT!

HARRY

RON

HERMIONE

ALL THREE
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 MAGI-COOL!

BACK TO WITCHES AND WIZARDS
AND MAGICAL BEASTS,
