yourwizardrockresource Two light-hearted meta songs, two gorgeous songs set during Deathly Hallows (one of which is acapella!), one capable cover and one hilarious, if muddy-sounding, parody. In spite of the midi instruments, Rachel's voice is silvery and sweet, and her lyrics are poetic and memorable. Favorite track: The Bells on Christmas Eve.

Everyone is on Pottermore When the first days clue came via magic quill, I thought to myself, what a thrill Then I stayed up all night with my friends on the line Now I’m sitting here still staring at my inbox and she’s got hers and he’s got his and they’ve got theirs So I have to wonder where the hell is mine I’m like that kid who never got picked for kickball Or the girl who didn’t get asked to the Yule ball Or that Guy from the old man and the sea Like an old maid who never found love Or Michael Jackson’s missing glove Seems like everyone is on Pottermore but me I’m really trying to sympathize When my friend is telling me the sorting had lies Just because it didn’t put him in Gryffindor But it’s getting really hard not to feel jealous When I would gladly play for evil slytherin Just as long as it meant that I belonged in a Hogwarts dorm (chorus) Now I understand how Aunt Petunia feels And I’m forcing down my muggle meals While fighting off the urge to call all my friends freaks I guess I’ll just sit here at my desk Hitting refresh, refresh, refresh and refresh ‘Till my email comes and Jo Rowling finally speaks (chorus)

The Bells Ring out this Christmas Eve They fill the world with warmth and peace They echo through this cold grave yard Where through the frost I'm trying hard to find you My wand is hidden, face unseen They leave no trace of where I've been My best friend's hand clutched tight in mine Can't help but think we're running out of time If you can hear me calling Please show me where to grieve Make my voice ring louder than The bells this christmas eve Hermione's voice calls strong and clear Somehow I know this time you're near My heart is pounding in my chest as I reach the place where you've been laid to rest This marble stone ignites the snow You do not see, you can not know That I cry to you with wasted breath Try to believe you've lived beyond your death Your voices can't sing out to me Can't help me to believe These frozen words read empty as The Bells this Christmas Eve The light is fading through my tears No voice calls out, no sign appears So, I lay a wreath beside your grave Dry my eyes, begin to walk away I thought I heard you call me Just as I turned to leave Like a whisper drowned out by The bells this Christmas Eve If you hear me calling Please teach me how to see The truth I know you've locked inside The bells this Christmas Eve

I’ve been here in Orlando for a while And the Wizarding World does make me smile But, while I know butter beer tastes just fine I can’t help but have something else in mind See, even with all the magic in this There’s one muggle think that I miss I need a starbucks Could use a mocha frappacino lite If there was a Starbucks My park experience would be just right Put in a starbucks And you wouldn’t have to expand it at all ‘Cause there’d be a starbucks In the Wizarding World Consider Harry’s date with Cho Who thought Puddifoots was the way to go But all they got was a crying shame With kissing couples and only themselves to blame The whole reason they fought Lay in choosing the wrong spot If they’d been at Starbucks There’d have been no couples snogging ‘Cause no one kisses at starbucks It’s more of a casual coffee date thing There’s no pressure at Starbucks So I’m pretty sure that Cho wouldn’t have cried If there’d been a Starbucks in Hogsmede Book six had that plot with Draco Malfoy Who became you know who’s chosen boy But the pressure was great, he was freaking out He had to go into Myrtle's bathroom to pout But the tables could have switched With just one little cafien fix If he’d had a Starbucks He’d have had a place to work it through You can’t be evil at Starbucks I know Draco would have realized that too He'd have made the correct choice Then maybe Dumbledore wouldn't have died If there’d been a Starbucks in Hogwarts In conclusion, we can now say That any day can be saved by a non-fat latte So if the ministry falls or your feelin' poor Or your souls been stolen by a dementor There's only one place to go To solve all of these problems you know You should always have starbucks Even Wizards need to work out some strife If they'd had a Starbucks Maybe Harry would've had a nice life If I could nitpick Ms. Rowling I would change just this one little thing There should be a Starbucks in Hary's world

Silence Falls on a frost filled night All alone one lost young man looks towards a light Dawn did not bring this purest glow Nor can darkness fade For there within the snow white glade The silver doe is waiting On she trods both meek and mild On he follows through the forest rough and wild Now stopping by a glassy lake Hidden through the trees Here where dawns light seems to freeze The silver doe is waiting Here she stands on sacred ground Here where earth and water wait without a sound He crosses softly on the hill Crosses weighing cost There beside a golden cross The silver doe is waiting Still she calls to those who seek Still she beckons to the low, the lost, the weak Here song is heard best on the wind, In the suns true glow Her song calls 'Blest are those who know, The silver doe is waiting'
