    Story Behind the Song
    Why I wrote this song...

    Not only have I read all the Harry Potter books but I bought them as a presents for everyone I know. I read the books outloud to the band when we have to travel long distances, so the band has been read all four Harry Potter books! At first they complained and then one day when I was talking on my cell and not reading on the drive, Pep said to me "So what's going on with Harry?" Now we have Harry Potter debates. I am of the personal opinion that Fleur will be the next Dark Arts teacher. But only time will tell....

    I wrote this song because I love the Harry Potter books and because I thought Ginny Weasley was not getting a fair shake. Ginny is always around and Hermoine, Ron, and Harry do not include her, yet she is a very sweet person. I think of all the characters in the book Ginny has the possibility of becoming a true riot grrl. She is going to stand up for herself and I hope it is someday (or somebook) soon. I wrote this song from the point of view of Ginny Weasley. It is about loving Harry Potter through her eyes.

    Love is a very strong emotion and Ginny could draw on that strength. I hope this song becomes not Ginny's sadness but her triumph. Just like Led Zeppelin did an homage to Lord of the Rings, this is Switchblade Kittens' homage to Harry Potter.
    Hope you like it.

    Drama :( :)

    Lyrics
    "Ode to Harry Potter"

    I can't help but blush when you're near me
    But you just exclude me from your circle of three
    I'm right in front of you, but you don't see
    You treat me like I'm a Colin Creevey

    I have swallowed so much love my hair grows red
    Come over to my house to see my brother instead
    You didn't get my Valentine, didn't know what it meant
    Every page about you my diary's read

    Even though you're the one I adore
    Next year at Hogwarts you'll see I've transformed
    I will hold my head up high, I'm a Gryffindor
    And you won't need to save me anymore

    Chorus:
    I love you
    But it seems you don't love me
    My friends say you're so brave
    And I know
    You will see that we were meant to be
    When you miss me it will be too late
