Bond With Your Wand (from HP/SS, Ch. 5)

(To the tune of Put Your Hand in the Hand)

(The Scene: Diagon Alley, in front of Ollivanders, "Makers of Fine Wands
since 382 B.C." Enter HARRY and HAGRID, both carrying a large number of
shopping bags]

HAGRID
Harry's now a wizard, having reached the age of 11
We've been shopping in the Alley ever since the clock struck seven
But we've one more stop, and it's at a shop of which I'm very fond
It's the shop of Ollivander, who's the maker of the finest wands

[They enter Ollivanders.  The shelves of the tiny store are filled with
countless boxes, each one containing a wand.  Behind is the counter is MR.
OLLIVANDER, who, as if expecting their arrival, rises to greet them)

HARRY & HAGRID
Get your wand from the hand of the grand Mister Ollivander

(Dozens of the boxes fly off the shelf and land in front of Harry, who takes
each wand out of its box, and waves it in succession, without effect. Mr.
Ollivander snatches each one back as soon as it's clear that the wand didn't
"click" with Harry)

MR. OLLIVANDER
Find a wand to respond to as all of my stock you're shown
Each wand's unique and the one you seek will be yours and yours alone

ALL
Form a bond with a wand, and that wand will choose you for its own

MR. OLLIVANDER
I create a wand, in order to ensure a clean mix,
With unicorn hair, dragon strings and the feathers off a phoenix.

(Harry, to the delight of all, creates a stream of red and gold sparks when
he waves one particular wand.  OLLIVANDER examines at its box)

That wand you found is the best by far, but isn't this bizarre?
It's the brother of the wand that gave to you your famous scar

HAGRID AND HARRY
Get your wand from the hand of the grand Mister Ollivander

HARRY AND MR. OLLIVANDER
Get your wand at the store once patronized by Voldemort

MR. OLLIVANDER
Your wand shares its core with Voldemort's

HARRY
                                                            What'll happen
if they go to war?

MR. OLLIVANDER
I'd love to tell you more, but you'll have to wait until Book Four

ALL (singing and clapping)
You've a wand from the hand of the grand Mister Ollivander
You found a wand to respond to that can never be outshone
That wand's unique, and good technique will make it yours and yours alone
Form a bond with your wand, for that wand has chose you for its own
Oh yeah!
