Lower-confidence wave

2011 videos did not pass the QA gate (17 %); their analysis is shown but less reliable.

Continuing his yearly Harry Potter songs, Hank sings a letter to Harry Potter asking whether the final film is the end, thanks the series for his career, and answers that it isn't, because the fans are there for each other; then plugs Harry Potter Alliance contests, a charity book and his album.
