Hogwarts State of Mind
To the tune of "New York State of Mind" by Billy Joel

SCENE: #4 Privet Drive, last day of summer.  Harry is anticipating his
return to school.

HARRY:
Some kids don't like to be in school,
They don't think it's cool, that is what they say.
When they're there they just cannot wait for the holiday.
But I'm hopping that red train between platforms ten and nine--
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind.

I've been where the Dursleys are,
With their Muggle car and Majorca home.
In Knockturn and Diagon I've been known to roam.
I've been many places, but they're nowhere near as fine --
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind.

Oh, it's not easy doin' the Dursleys' chores,
Being stuck here in the summertime gloom.
Oh how I'm longing for the Quidditch scores,
The Sorting Feast, the Common Room...

No matter what I have to face,
It's my favorite place, it's the place I fit.
Don't care if Snape's on my case, or Malfoy's a git.
Good-bye, Little Whinging, I'm done with your daily grind!
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind.
