HARRY POTTER SONG!

2010-11-18 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Pop culture · comedy performance

On the eve of the first Deathly Hallows film, Hank sings 'This Is Not Harry Potter': however much young adult fiction he reads, even good books and his brother's, nothing matches how Harry Potter made him feel.

What is said

00:00:00 — Greeting; tired of the pre-movie media blitz, tickets bought on Fandango; Deathly Hallows Part 1 opens tomorrow; Song Wednesday

  • ★★ Hank says the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out tomorrow night, he is very excited, and it's Song Wednesday. — 00:00:00 · Song Wednesday

00:00:47 — Song 'This Is Not Harry Potter': YA books, his brother's books and Twilight all fall short of Harry Potter

  • ★★★ Hank sings that however much young adult fiction he reads, nothing makes him feel again the way Harry Potter did: everything he reads is not Harry Potter. (playful) — 00:01:22 · Harry Potter > «It seems no matter what I read, I think this is not Harry Potter.»
  • ★★ Hank sings he was impressed with Frankie Landau-Banks, though her epic pranks don't compare with saving the world, and that 13 Little Blue Envelopes was fantastic but not the best book he has read. (playful) — 00:01:22
  • ★★ Hank sings that, no joke, he also reads books his own brother wrote, and they too are not Harry Potter. (playful) — 00:01:22 · John Green

  • ★ Hank sings that Diagon Alley beats Ankh-Morpork, President Snow is no Voldemort, and Lyra's parentage is a good plot twist, but none of it is Harry Potter. (playful) — 00:03:02

00:03:33 — HankGames: Hank will play and talk through Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, idea taken from Toby Turner; sign-off

  • ★★ Hank says he will play the new Assassin's Creed while talking and post the videos at YouTube.com/HankGames, admitting he stole the idea from Toby Turner. — 00:03:33 · HankGames
  • ★★ Hank invites anyone who wants to watch him play Assassin's Creed to come by HankGames, hoping it will be somewhat entertaining. — 00:03:33 · HankGames

Humor (dominant)

  • Hank sings what he would give to feel again the way Harry Potter made him feel. — 00:00:47 > «I'd tattoo my head with a lightning bolt.»
  • Curled up with Twilight in his darkest nights, Hank wonders about Edward. — 00:02:39 > «Avada Kedavra the undead Cause Edward Carter totally has it coming»
  • Hank says he and Voldemort would both hate Edward, and turns to Hogwarts ghost Sir Nicholas. — 00:03:02 > «Mimsy Porpington is a character name that by itself is better than anything in Breaking Dawn»
  • Hank names the new Assassin's Creed game, whose subtitle is Brotherhood. — 00:03:33 > «Assassin's Creed Brotherhood 2.0. Isn't that what it's called?»
