Now it's always once upon a time
In Hogwarts Castle
It's a big old, maze-like, haunted school, it's true
But the friendships are contagious there
They'll turn you into mages there
There's knowledge in the pages there, for you

The journey will begin once you have boarded
Hogwarts Express, between platforms nine and ten
No one cares that only yesterday
You were spell-less, now you're on your way
To a once upon a time that never ends

So, Harry, now, don't be shy
Get your broom and go fly
You never know 'til you try
How great is your skill!

Magic's no crime
Not once upon a time
Once upon a time in Hogwarts Castle

If it's always once upon a time
In Hogwarts Castle
Why does summer find you feeling sad and blue?
How can you believe in magic still?
With no owls at your window sill?
And the Dursleys claim, that no one cares for you?

But Harry, don't you despair
Though it seems as though no one cares
You have plenty of friends out there
Who see that you're special!

Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in Hogwarts Castle

And it's always once upon a time
In Hogwarts Castle
