You're Harry Freaking Potter!

I love a LOT of things about this school, which I'm not going to even bother listing. One of these things is our bell tower. I have always had a love affair with carillon bells, to the point that one of the things I'm looking for in a future home is close enough proximity to a church that I can hear the bells. I expect that conversation will be interesting with the Real Estate Agent. "If it's close to a Mormon church, that'd be really excellent, but can you just get me near some non-mormon church with an old bell tower? No, no, I'll be attending the Mormon church. Half and hour to the nearest stake center? No problem. Five minute drive from the catholic church with the bells? Uh, that's a little far..."

Back to our carillon bells! Every hour on the hour they play Come, Come, Ye Saints and then at other times they have little mini-concerts called programs where the organ majors get to rock out to a large variety of different songs. Last year I actually got to go in to the belltower during one of these programs and played a few notes! Very poorly, but I still played them, which counts!

Yesterday, as inspired by a rather brave facebook event and some likewise gutsy organ students, the belltower chose to honor Harry Potter's 7th film release instead of the normal regimen.
This was what we heard every hour, on the hour:


Ohhh BYU. You are so weird and nerdy and AWESOME. :)

And by the way, I wasn't able to go to the midnight premiere. Sadness, I know, but everything was sold out within weeks... however, once I find someone with a car, I WILL see this. It WILL happen. Until then, I'm satisfied to go to a school where random students are STILL walking around in Hogwarts robes and where the hour was rang in with movie music for an entire day. It's almost as good. :)

"Harry Freaking Potter" is from "A Very Potter Sequel", which can be found on YouTube as a sequel to "A Very Potter Musical", which I recommend.
