This song's been FILKed before, but I thought I'd send my version
along, FWIW.  

Hogwarts State of Mind 
(Based upon "New York State of Mind" by Billy Joel) 
(Midi: http://www.fladi.de/joel/midi/newyork.mid)

Most kids like to get away
from their homework for a month or two
Hop a boat to the Isle of Wight
 just to enjoy the view.
I can't wait 'til it's over, 
and I don't want to waste more time,
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind.

I'm stuck at the Dursleys, 
with their tidy house and their tiny minds,
trying to do schoolwork 
when I can steal the time
I'm just counting the days now
'til the Express is on the line,
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind.

It isn't easy living day to day
out of touch with the potions and charms.
Right now I'd even welcome Profess'r Snape
or Argus Filch's ugly face.

Stranded here with the muggles,
yes the ennui really gets to me.
Platform Nine-and-three-quarter's all that I want to see.
I'll surely lose my reason living with the Dursleys' kind,
I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind.

'til the Express is on the line,
'cause I'm in a Hogwarts state of mind

Yes, I'm in...
I'm in a... 
I'm in a Hogwarts...State...of...Mind
