lyrics

Ten Galleons on you Harry
I don’t even have them to spend
But Penny wants to bet and she’ll be dead broke
When you leave with that snitch in your hand

Back in his first year his first flying class
Malfoy was there being the usual git
The remembrall he sent it soaring
Potter took off just barely snatching it

What happened then you could call fate
He is about to change the rules are about to change

Harry Potter his true home is out on the quidditch pitch
Harry Potter I heard when he was born he flew out on a broomstick
Harry Potter the first first year to play flying is in his bones
Harry Potter when he grabs that snitch we'll both be grabbing gold

My finances well I’m a Weasley
I’ve barely ever had galleon to my name
But with you Harry I know there’s no risk
When the snitch shows you’ll be ending the game

But she doesn’t think you can beat Cho Chang
Well she is about to change yeah she’ll be cheering your name

Harry Potter

Let’s all go down to the quidditch pitch
We all know Griffindor is going to win
Because Harry has got the eye for that golden snitch
He’ll be bringing me home lots of galleons

about

Percy and the Prefects Norman, Oklahoma

You didn't know Percy Weasley, Lucius Malfoy, and Remus Lupin were in a Wizard Rock band together?

It all started when Percy found an old portrait of Cedric Diggory. Together they started the band Percy and the Prefects.

Cedric's portrait had other dreams to pursue, so Percy found Lucius and Remus to complete the band.

Past Prefects:
Tom Riddle, Albus Dumbledore, Horace Slughorn ... more

When The War Came

A gorgeous second album that holds up well to the high standard set by the first. The sweet love songs are back, along with an ode to Ron Weasley, a gorgeous metawrock song (and I'm not usually a big fan of metawrock), a couple of spiritual successors to songs from the debut album and one of my favourite DH Chapter 34 songs ever, among other gems. The fact that Avery is a songwriting genius cannot be understated. yourwizardrockresource

How Airplanes Fly

The moment I heard 'Forget the Girl' on a mix years ago, I fell in love, and I was so delighted to find more music by the same band. Avery's lyrics are a standout in the world of wizard rock, and I don't say this lightly. His grasp of characters and the heartfelt, poetic songwriting and delivery are second to none. I adore songs about canon relationships that give me new insights, and this album does that so well. yourwizardrockresource
