Every year around the time when Accio Deathly Hallows came out, I release another Harry Potter song. This song is that song! If you want to know more about the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA) go here: http://thehpalliance.org/ they are frikkin great.

 Song


Good morning, John. I've had a question sittin' up here [points to his head] for a little while. And I've got a lot of questions up there, and frankly, I'm kinda a question-y kind of a guy. But this question has been sittin' up in the brain for years, maybe like six or seven years now. So I wanted to get it out, out of my head in the form of a song. I'll share it with you. It goes like this:

Oh, J.K. Rowling
Whattaya doing with your time?
Are you like giving all your money to charity?
And I guess that sounds just fine
But I'm wondering if you got just a couple more jots
Maybe, I dunno, you could crack a laptop
Oh, do it as a favor to me
Do it for the kids or do it for charity
Yeah, do it for the HPA
Oh, I don't really care just do it today

I know that the idea probably stresses you out
I know that I would feel that way
After making something so damn great
For me would be an inescapable cloud of doubt
But don't let that fear get to you
This is clearly something you can do
And the pressure from people like me
Does it get a little old?
Yeah, probably
But hopefully you understand why I pry
So pick your pen, Jo, do it just give it a try

So oh, J.K. Rowling, whattaya you doing with your time?
Giving all your money to charity
And I guess that sounds just fine
But I'm wondering if you got just a couple more jots
Maybe, I dunno, you could crack a laptop
Oh, do it as a favor to me
Do it for the kids or do it for charity
Yeah, do it for the HPA
Oh, I don't really care just do it today

I'm giving you absolute creative freedom
Maybe you could write up a screenplay
Or prequel musical for Broadway
Or collaborate on a comic with Joss Whedon
Or a mini-series for the BBC
Any of that sounds good to me
I suggest you avoid cartoons
Or giving Fox a chance to cancel you
And after considering this one be pretty carefully,
Please don't make a MMORPG
'Cause that would totally destroy my productivity

So oh, J.K. Rowling, whattaya you doing with your time?
Giving all your money to charity
And I guess that sounds just fine
But I'm wondering if you got just a couple more jots
Maybe, I dunno, you could crack a laptop
Oh, do it as a favor to me
Do it for the kids or do it for charity
Yeah do it for the HPA
Oh, I don't really care just do it
No, I don't really care just do it
No, I don't really care just do it today! [something falls]

[end song]

 John and Hank re-union (2:28)


What did I knock over? Oh, just a bottle. Just a bottle. It just fell out of the garbage. I was dancing a little bit. And now I'm gonna get on a plane to see John.

J: Hey! Glorious paternity leave!
H: This is pretty good.
J: It's about as good as it gets.
H: Have you been doing this - is this what you've been doing this whole time?
J: There's been staying up all night as well. But not like in the fun, teenage way. Hank, I'll see you on Friday.
H: You'll see me right now.
J: I know, I just haven't said it in a long time. I was feeling, I was feeling it. Good morning Hank, it's Tuesday!
H: It's my video!
J: I still got it! I still got it!
H: How's Alice?
J: Oh, she's great. She's beautiful. We love her.
H: Good. You seem like pretty good parents; I'll be honest.
J: [laughs] Well, we try hard. I want to thank nerdfighteria for all the good wishes and... We appreciate it. Um but yeah, we're just enjoying being a family of four.
H: Woo!
J: Yay!
H: John.
J: Yes?
H: I'll see you right now.
J: Alright.

[cut to]
H: What just happened?
J: Henry just laughed at a joke for the first time.
H: What was he watching?
J: uh, Annoying Orange.
