Hank Green - This is not Harry Potter lyrics

Something just occurred to me while I was reading Another book that I had heard could be the next big thing I thought what would I give, if that could be true If I could ever feel again the way I felt when I read you I'd pay a million galleons I'd dress up like I go to Beauxbatons I'd tattoo my head with a lightning bolt I'd pawn my wand and Firebolt But no matter how many good things I'm told Everything I read turns out to be leprechaun gold It's been so many years no matter how I try To read more young adult fiction I keep coming up dry It's like water water everywhere and not a drop to drink My frustration and my agony have pushed me to the brink I keep tilting back the gla** but I never taste the water It seems no matter what I read I think, "This is not Harry potter." This is not Harry Potter I was pretty impressed with Frankie Landau Banks But compare saving the world with a couple epic pranks There is no monopoly on non-human people There's faerie's buggers talking cats and Nac Mac Feegle And Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes Was fantastic but my sneakoscope Would be flashing and spinning if I said That it was the best book I've read And you gotta know that this is no joke When I also read lots of books that my own brother wrote It's been so many years no matter how I try To read more young adult fiction I keep coming up dry It's like water water everywhere and not a drop to drink My frustration and my agony have pushed me to the brink I keep tilting back the gla** but I never taste the water It seems no matter what I read I think, "This is not Harry Potter." This is not Harry Potter And in the darkest hours, of my darkest nights I found myself curled up with Twilight And I couldn't help but wonder as I ravenously read Can you Avada Kedavra the undead Because Edward Cullen totally has it comin' And if he saw Voldemort then he'd better start runnin' There's not much that the Dark Lord and I Could agree on but I think that we would both hate that guy And Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington Is a character name that by itself is better than anything in Breaking Dawn It's been so many years no matter how I try To read more young adult fiction I keep coming up dry And Diagon Alley is cooler than Ankh Mor Pork And President Snow is no Voldemort And Lyra Silvertoungue is Mrs. Coulter's Daughter That's a good plot twist but it is not Harry Potter. No, it's not Harry Potter!
