The Best of YouTube: Harry Potter

If you know me, you know that I am a major Harry Potter fan. I saw Deathly Hallows Part 2 on opening day (not at midnight though). I spent the week before that making a bracelet in all the house colours. I stayed up until five in the morning to get onto Pottermore early. I've read all of the books at least seven times. From reading my blog you should have figured out that I go on YouTube a lot. And of course I love watching Harry Potter videos. I've decided that it's about time I do a post of all my favourite Harry Potter videos.

I'm warning you right now, this is going to be a long post. Enjoy.

Videos and Parodies
How Harry Potter Should Have Ended
Disney and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter Friday Parody - Another amazing parody by the Hillywood show!
The Making of Harry Potter Friday Parody - Although this video is over 20 minutes long, it's definitely worth watching.

Tributes
Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home
Harry Potter Freedom Fighter - Really well done, with awesome voiceovers at the beginning
Harry Potter Tribute, for the last movie
Harry Potter - Through the Pensieve - This is the best Harry Potter tribute I have ever seen!

Music
Harry Potter Meets Metal
Harry Potter in 99 Seconds - Absolutely brilliant! I love how so many different songs were used
Harry Potter and the Theme Song
Harry Potter Tonight Tonight
Wizard Love - This song always makes me think of Severus and Lily
Like It's Quidditch - The Harry Potter version of Like a G6
Alohomora (Harry Potter Remix)

Ministry of Magic
I recently discovered something called wrock, aka wizard rock, and instantly fell in love. Shortly after I heard about a band called Ministry of Magic. They are now my favourite band, and these a few of my favourite songs by them. Well, maybe more than a few.
Snape vs Snape
Pensieve Diggory
The Bravest Man I Ever Knew
Only Power Remains
Gryffindor Rally Cry
Epilogue
Marauder's Map
Lightning Struck Tower
Escape From Azkaban
House Song
Harry Potter is Dead
Don't Leave

Other
These are a few of the playlists I have on YouTube. There are too many videos in them to post individually, so I just linked directly to the full playlist. WARNING, some of the videos aren't appropriate for young children.
Potter Puppet Pals
A Very Potter Musical - This is a must see for any major Harry Potter fan. It's funny, has great music, and stars Darren Criss. It's totally awesome!
A Very Potter Sequel - Just as good as AVPM, with new music and new characters.
Songs From AVPM and AVPS

That's all for now! I'm considering doing another Harry Potter related post soon. Any suggestions?
