Harry Potter-Theme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Harry Potter,
Harry Potter,
How is you?"
Said Dobby.

"I have come to warn you,
Do not go to Hogwarts
This year,
This year."

"It's too dangerous,
It's too dangerous,
For you."
Said Dobby.

"A Basilisk will eat you,
You-Know-Who will rise,




From the dead.
From the dead."

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the Harry Potter-Theme song are from the perspective of Dobby, a house-elf who is warning Harry Potter not to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry, being the determined protagonist that he is, dismisses Dobby's warning and returns to Hogwarts, setting the stage for the rest of the story. The lyrics are simple but carry a sense of caution and foreboding, as Dobby warns Harry of the dangers that lurk within the walls of the school.


The opening two lines of the song, "Harry Potter, Harry Potter, how is you?" emphasize Dobby's concern for Harry's safety. This is followed by a foreboding warning not to return to Hogwarts due to the danger it poses. The repetition of the phrase "It's too dangerous" highlights the gravity of the situation, and the final lines of the song warn of the two threats that await Harry should he choose to return to the school; the deadly Basilisk and the return of You-Know-Who from the dead.


Overall, the lyrics to the Harry Potter-Theme song serve as a haunting warning to the singer, adding tension and suspense to the story. The song perfectly sets the stage for the dangers that Harry will face during his time at Hogwarts and creates a sense of apprehension that draws the reader in.
