I am an immense Queen fan of course, but I thought I'd take a moment to indulge another great passion of mine - Harry Potter. I am a GIGANTIC HP freak, and I sometimes disagree on Youtube videos where people do character theme songs. Plus, there are never any Queen songs on those videos. I've fought back by doing this. Obsessive, I know, but it was great fun to do it, and if any Queenzoners out there are obsessed with HP as I am, look at this list of songs. Argue or agree with me. Your choice. Harry - Don't Stop Me Now (Self-explanatory) Ron - It's A Hard Life (It's a hard life for him coming from a large family AND living in Harry's shadow) Hermione - Under Pressure (She's under pressure from hassling Harry and Ron all the time) Ginny - Tie Your Mother Down (Ginny gets irritated with Mrs. Weasley A LOT, and plus I've always felt she's a rocker at heart) Neville - IWBTF (Self-explanatory, I think - look at the stuff he's gone through) Luna - It's A Beautiful Day (Listen to those lyrics... SO Luna-esque! It's stupid NOT to put this song to her. Case closed!) Sirius - The Show Must Go On (Again, self-explanatory. TMSGO reflects the desperation felt by Azkaban prisoners) Remus - '39 (Think of him as an Order volunteer. And he tried to keep Tonks away at the Final Battle. *sniff* R.I.P both of them) Tonks - Play the Game (Look at her unrequited love for Remus in the sixth book. This pretty much sums it up.) Dumbledore - The Prophet's Song ("Listen to the wise man", doy! And few other lyrics in there could fit too...) McGonagall - Killer Queen... maybe. But I'm thinking that would fit Umbridge more... someone help me, I'm stuck on this one!!! Snape - Stone Cold Crazy ("Gotta get from this stone cold floor..." - we realise he's done with being Dark in the end) The reason I outlined Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna as the main students there is because of the Department of Mysteries (where they kick SUPREME ASS) but if anyone can think of any more students' theme songs, I'd be happy to hear! And any other members of faculty. And any other characters you can think of. I'm thinking of Friends Will Be Friends for Susan Bones, true Hufflepuff that she is... but I've got to end this late-night ramble before I slam my head into the keyboard from tiredness. |

I HATE Harry Potter....in fact, everytime it's on TV or my mrs (a huge Potter fan) has the DVDs playing I remind myself "Don't Try Suicide" as it makes me want to slit my wrists lol |

I thought Under Pressure was a great choice for Hermione! I think Killer Queen would be most fitting for Umbridge. How about: Hagrid & his brother - Ogre Battle Voldermort - Death on Two Legs Peter Pettigrew (aka Wormtail) - Great King Rat (of course) Bellatrix - March of the Black Queen (well ... she is vulgar, 'buse & vile) Anyone Slytherin - Innuendo (opening portion) Dumbledore's Army - Princes of the Universe The dark arts Instructor who wrote his own book and was so vain (?) - Millionaire's Waltz Rita Skeeter (?) - Scandal George & Fred Weasley - Put Out the Fire! Crookshanks - Delilah (just kidding!!! - I know it doesn't fit) Sorry I could not recall all the names and for the spelling of names! A fun topic, thanks. |

queenUSA, thanks for your contributions! I have to say, Scandal for Rita... superb, just superb. That song isn't a favourite of mine, so it didn't really cross my mind, and I did post the thread at midnight. But now I fully realise it, Scandal's great for Rita. But Millionaire Waltz for Lockhart... hmm... interesting. I'd put SWAFIB, once Ron's wand backfires on him. Thistleboy1980, if you hate HP, why are you answering to this thread? Unh! It really irritates me when people stick their noses in something, only to criticise it. |

Lockhart though,, i would give I'm going slightly mad, for very obvious reasons. :P Ogre battle for Hagrid and Grawp, excellent choice. :) --- Now Moody, id give the Hitman, you know,, because he's an auror. Harry, to be honest, I would give 'The Hero' , much better choice for him. Voldemort, id give him 'Flick Of The Wrist' , because he's like the sheffield brothers in the way of promises. :L Of course, I'm not a massive fan of the movies, i'd prefer the books any day,, i've read them a million times, miles better. |

Thought the "lol" may have been a give away!!! I could have been sarcastic at this point and said "Uhh! It really irritates me the people that have had a sense of humour bypass in here" or something like that, but I am above such behaviour :) Btw, I haven't "stuck my nose in"....'tis a public forum lol As it happens, HP is growing on me....just haven't thought about linking Queen lyrics to their character traits. |

MASSIVE Harry Potter nerd here...and I mean obsessed. I think that there are some excellent, excellent choices here! I'd really have to sit down and think whether I'd have different ones or not...Sirius is my <3 and I agree that The Show Must Go On is the best song for him. I'll think on the others though....I agree with most of the ones already listed! And um...not to be an ass...but to those of you who hate Harry Potter or think it's childish or have no interest - why are you even bothering in this thread? Just to spread hate? It's unnecessary - your energies might be better served in a good way. |

I can't beleive no one has said '' A Kind Of Magic'' :) |

OK, I've thought of some more. I kind of take back picking FWBF for Susan. I might put Scandal instead. Think about it. Her aunt was the first causalty of the war and people started pressing into her, and she couldn't take it. As fans know, Scandal's a Brian composition. I picked a Brian-penned track deliberately. Can anyone figure out why? There's a very subtle joke hidden in the reasoning. Anyway, moving on... how about Sweet Lady for Cho Chang? Imagine that the lyrics are from Harry's P.O.V and you'll get it. She totally deceived him. White Man for the Death Eaters is an appropriate decision. And although this isn't a true Queen song - it's a Brian solo song - The Guv'nor for Dumbledore. |
