This video literally changed the world for internet users everywhere. This video went viral and suddenly the vlogbrothers were everywhere. Because of this video we have Vidcon, Project for Awesome, some of TH-cam's best educational channels... because of this one song.
+Peter Loch but really it was the Helen Hunt song that made john tell hank to write more songs so that he started song wednesdays which made this song real.
I was just thinking that, like "well damn...he just predicted two major twists of a book that hasn't come out yet..." And then decided to see if there were any comments related to it
This is time travel. Amazon was just a bookseller. We didn't have the ending of Harry Potter. We didn't have vidcon. We didn't have crash course. We didn't even have Hank being the king of Tiktok... such a younger Hank. Such a younger world. Much love to all of Nerdfighteria
think of all the things that happened directly because of this video: vidcon, the fault in our stars, project for awesome, millions donated to charities, scishow, DFTBA records, crashcourse, subbable, 2-D glasses, mental floss, lizzie bennett diaries and the whole nerdfighter community... and really, that's just scratching the surface
I actually think that the Helen hunt song is the most important video, that was why they started doing song Wednesdays for hank, if there were no song Wednesdays this video wouldn't exist, thus none of the things you mentioned would exist
Technically, he didn't predict anything, Yes, Hedwig DOES die, but Voldemort aimed the killing curse at Harry, he just missed and hit Hedwig. Harry's brain is not a horcrux, his soul is.
This was the thing that started modern TH-cam with vidcon, and P4A, not to mention Scishow, Crash Course, Lizzie Bennet Diaries, How to Adult and a bunch more and it amazes me that an amazing nerdy guy singing about Harry Potter and his equally nerdy brother was able to help and create so many things that we watch and use and donate to. I love the vlogbrothers, I love John and Hank Green, and I always will but this video will always be one of my favorites.
He also says in the song it was a theory he had no confidence in so he actually got it wrong. Hedwig dying was always the better prediction because that one was less popular; loads of people thought harry would be a horcrux.
I was at Hank's book tour a couple weeks ago and he sang this song and afterwards he mentioned how it was initially supposed to be Crookshanks in the song but it didn't sound as good so he switched it to Hedwig and then yelled "did I cause that?!" -Hank Green
So many comments are over five years old, and talking about how important this video is. I only came to it because of John's video today about the most and least watched videos on the channel. I've been here years, read lots of John's books, read both of Hank's, donated to PfA, bought PizzaJohn paraphernalia, etc. etc. and yet I'd never seen this important video that made it all happen!
***** -Hedwig was killed just for yuks -Harry's brain (and the rest of him) was a horcrux and it freaking sucked -Snape unbreakably vowed to protect that pureblood pus-face Malfoy, among other people, because he was on the good side the whole time 3 of his theories. Close enough.
I think the harcrux was a pretty common fan-theory at the time, as was Snape being a double agent. I'm not positive, I was 10 at the time, but I remember arguing passionately w/ some friends that Snape was somehow a good guy. I WAS 10 AT THE TIME!!!!!!!! OH GOD, I'M GETTING OLD, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Seriously at this age, Riddle had at least 1 horcrux. What am I doing with my life
There's something enchanting about the genuine excitement and passion in this video. I can't quite put my finger on it. But it makes me feel sad and nostalgic for a time that's passed, even though I wasn't there to experience the thrill of the release of the series.
I can't believe that 6 years after this (and the book) came out, people still gripe about spoilers (and the fact the video asks for no spoilers). IT WAS 6 YEARS AGO! Get over it and relish in the glory of Hank being a time lord nerdfighter!
I was 18 years old in 2007, sitting in my parents living room, getting ready to start college when I saw this video for the first time. I had no idea to what this video would lead, but my oh my, John and Hank have had so much influence in my life over all these years.
Watching this brought me back to sitting in my grandparents kitchen a week before the Deathly Hallows was released, reading Harry Potter facts in the Globe and Mail, unable to wait, but also wishing the series would never end... thank you Hank
Yeah, I don't know where he's finding an 'x' in it. With Voldemort, it's just because British people never pronounce French right, but Accio is Latin, and I'm fairly confident that it's pronounced correctly in the movies.
Marianne JKR said Voldemort was pronounced with t since she was mostly chosing the name because it sounded good. The french vol de mort thing is just additional
@@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist I thought the same thing but i researched it and it is actually how Hank pronounces it ( cc before ae,e,oe,i is "tch" otherwise it's "k")
Long time Nerdfighter revisiting for the millionth time. I needed some love and light during our dark quarantine time. #HankAndJohnGreenForLife #HarryPotterLove #NerdFighters And always remember Don't Forget To Be Awesome
It still blows my mind that this was uploaded 4 days before the book came out. I can imagine Hank uploading this when I was 10 and then I picked up my first Harry Potter book two months later. While the story closing for him, it was opening for me. It's just mind boggling.
every time i read deathly hallows, a little part of my brain will still go “yeh got all of muggle kind under yer spell” and then i remember this guy goes on to write two beautiful books and i feel something has come full circle in my life
It is pronounced Aksio, since it comes from latin, and most likely like that. Plus in the audiobooks (came out before the movies), Stephen Fry pronounce it Aksio. So yeah, that's how i think it should be pronounced, so Hank Green is right.
He had no idea that in 5 years he would be standing on the stage of Carnegie Hall and singing this, accompanied by all of the amazing people we call our internet community. DFTBA, I'm proud of you Hank and John Green. Thanks for being so awesome with us.
I remember watching this when I was 17, so pumped for the Harry Potter release. I can't believe it's been 10 years and I can't believe how much these brothers have accomplished in that time. DFTBA
I'm so glad John pointed us back to this video today... it's amazing what an impact this song had considering that it was actually relevant for like, four days, before DH arrived in the world. Also, I totally forgot that Hank said "ax-ee-oh". He remains the only person I have ever heard to pronounce 'accio' that way.
I've been watching (and greatly enjoying!) this channel since 2008--I was 19--and somehow MISSED this gem. (I suppose it's possible that I saw it and forgot I saw it, though it's certainly left an indelible mark *this* time.) Thanks, John, for mentioning it again in your most recent upload.
I am slowly seeing older video's of vlogbrothers as TH-cam algorithm shows them too me. This is I think first of the very first year. And what a beauty it is. Well deserved to go viral 💙
I'm not even a huge Harry Potter fan but I'm glad this song exists for so many reasons, the foremost of which is that it kicked off the massive growth of Nerdfighteria.
Playing Hogwarts Legacy with my husband and I started singing this song. He’s never heard it. So of course it will be stuck in my head for the next 15 years.
I'm doing a lot of inner child healing work right now and coming back to this video and feeling the visceral physical reaction that I first had when I was 15 and the VlogBrothers made me feel less alone is...stunning. I got to meet them on the Tour de Nerdfighting and I am forever grateful.
I skipped this video the first time I watched through their videos a few years ago because I hadn't read all the books and didn't understand most of the song. Now, having just finished the Harry Potter series two days ago, I can fully appreciate how amazing this song is. And I must agree with some of the other commenters that Hank must be a time traveler.
So many right things. Clearly he's either a Jedi, Time Lord, Seer, or got sucked into a temporal vortex. Probably one of the first two, 'cause that's more awesome.
I just finished Harry Potter for the first time ever tonight. I feel like I'm transported back to this moment in time, when fresh-faced TH-cam (and Hank!) were merely about joy and explosive creativity and love. Thank you, Greens, for so many years of love, and for having finally, at long last, encouraged me to fall into the make-believe of such a heartwarming, brave coming of age tale. Accio many more years on TH-cam, you giants of internet video-making.
Hey it’s 2021 and I’m rewatching this video and remembering watching it as a young 12 yr old. Now I consider myself as semi adult, and love revisiting these :) always love the death cab reference. Thanks to all that the vlog brothers did for me, literally informed my adolescence. Thank you john & hank. This some still slaps, can’t believe how right hank was! What if Harry’s brain was a horcrux!
I said this the first time I saw it and I'm saying it again. thank you hank! for making my life so much more worthwhile, thanks for existing, its always been hard to put my feelings into words but I always read comments by people saying they cant stop crying and I just scroll and I get it now, vlogbrorhers is my fettish/obsession, thanks for making my small feel empowered! and somehow today I feel exactly like you did at rhe end of this video. I get it now.
Okay, Hank is a wizard who specializes in fortune telling. You will never convince me otherwise. Because he does this stuff a lot where he gets it all right.
WOW JUST WOW TEN YEARS AGO TODAY!! I could not imagine my life without this community thank you for creating this amazing part of the internet. It makes me so emotional to go back and see this because hank and John you both have shaped my world and the internet to what it is today and created such an incredible community that helps so many people like myself and is so kind and generous and AWESOME!!! Hank, John I cannot thank you enough DFTBA P.S 🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢
I come back here when I feel like being nostalgic and in need of a hug or a good memory. Excited I was here (under a different account) when it all started. Warm fuzzies for sure.
when people subscribe to vlogbrothers now because of TFIOS I feel like we all need to let them know that the reason vlogbrothers is successful the way it is, is because of Hank Green singing his heart out for a book that he loves
This was one of the first TH-cam videos I remember seeing. And while I have become huge fans of the green brothers, it wasn’t until recently that i realized this was Hank Green singing this.
I think this is a great example of coming back to witness a piece of actual internet history. The algorithm doesn't give this kind of video the attention it deserves, but we give it attention. F*ck J K Rowling, bless the Vlogbrothers.
For those of you too young to remember, after Half Blood Prince came out, there were theories that Harry was a Horcrux and Snape loved Lilly. Neither of those are surprising for Hank to mention. Hedwig dying, though... :
Two days ago, I led a jam sesh of Accio Deathly Hallows with all the wizard rockers and other attendees at the wizard rock cafe at LeakyCon. So amazing to see so many fans singing along to this song so many years later. It still holds a place in our hearts!! But the real reason I came to this video bc I wanted to see how you pronounced "accio" and I was NOT expecting "aksio' lol. I hear so many ways but I'm glad no one judged how I said/sang it in front of them lol
This video literally changed the world for internet users everywhere. This video went viral and suddenly the vlogbrothers were everywhere. Because of this video we have Vidcon, Project for Awesome, some of TH-cam's best educational channels... because of this one song.
True. This song literally changed the world.
+theboyisanalien changed the youtube world
Quenten Schoonderwoerd I'd say the whole world. Nerdfighteria has had a huge impact on the world not just youtube.
+Peter Loch but really it was the Helen Hunt song that made john tell hank to write more songs so that he started song wednesdays which made this song real.
+Grace Carroll Thank you, Helen Hunt.
Scary how he guessed that Hedwig died and how Harry was a horcrux, seemingly entirely by accident.
+SaraMargret YES BECAUSE THIS VIDEO WAS UPLOADED *2 DAYS* BEFORE THE BOOK WAS RELEASED!
I was just thinking that, like "well damn...he just predicted two major twists of a book that hasn't come out yet..." And then decided to see if there were any comments related to it

This is time travel. Amazon was just a bookseller. We didn't have the ending of Harry Potter. We didn't have vidcon. We didn't have crash course. We didn't even have Hank being the king of Tiktok... such a younger Hank. Such a younger world. Much love to all of Nerdfighteria
Hey you came too after Johns new video!
Yeah I hadnt seen this before. It's amazing!
@@SkillsofAWESOMENESS same as a relatively new nerdfighter I completely missed this! Also I was 4 back then so😂
Funny how this was considered viral back in the day and now 2 million might not even make the trending page
++
I'm still amazed at how much Hank got right
I was just listening again and thinking the same thing!
Cupcake Without The Icing Definitely a better seer than Trelawney
Cupcake Without The Icing UKR
Me too, it was amazing how much he got right.
Very much so
think of all the things that happened directly because of this video: vidcon, the fault in our stars, project for awesome, millions donated to charities, scishow, DFTBA records, crashcourse, subbable, 2-D glasses, mental floss, lizzie bennett diaries and the whole nerdfighter community... and really, that's just scratching the surface
Wow. You're so right. This is when the Vlogbrothers became popular. Good job Hank, JK Rowling!
Ashley Meijer Thank you Harry Potter!
Anthony Stuart Project for Awesome sort of started before this. The Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck already existed by this time. At least in theory.
Scott Korin true, but this is the song that made them gain viewers and have a bigger community which made those things more of a success.
I actually think that the Helen hunt song is the most important video, that was why they started doing song Wednesdays for hank, if there were no song Wednesdays this video wouldn't exist, thus none of the things you mentioned would exist
We are gathered here today, 13 years after the fact due to the mysteries ways of the TH-cam algorithm.
Exactly lol
Hi
I think John’s latest video got a lot of us feeling nostalgic ❤️
Hi
Yep
This is like the third time he successfully predicts the future.
He is very smart like, that
GBD1000 Smart man, that Hank.
+Nate Baldauf *tear* i'm not crying i'm just... um... sweating from my eyes
Technically, he didn't predict anything, Yes, Hedwig DOES die, but Voldemort aimed the killing curse at Harry, he just missed and hit Hedwig. Harry's brain is not a horcrux, his soul is.
+Samuel Mayerhofer Was it even Voldemort who killed Hedwig? I always thought it was just some random Death Eater.
I find it weird that there are less views on this than subscribers to the channel. I thought that this was like essential nerdfighter viewing
Indubitably...
It got more views in the first year than it has in the last 6 years.
Holy crap when did they get 2.2 million subscribers!? Last time I checked they only had 350k...
I don't know, but last time I looked they were gaining like 2000 a day
TFIOS.
I wonder how much Hank freaked out when he read that Hedwig actually did die...
Or that Harry Potter was a horcorux.
This was the thing that started modern TH-cam with vidcon, and P4A, not to mention Scishow, Crash Course, Lizzie Bennet Diaries, How to Adult and a bunch more and it amazes me that an amazing nerdy guy singing about Harry Potter and his equally nerdy brother was able to help and create so many things that we watch and use and donate to. I love the vlogbrothers, I love John and Hank Green, and I always will but this video will always be one of my favorites.
Had to see what the fuss was about lol
he got so many things right, spoiled without him knowing :0
No Spoilers?
Harry's Brain is a horcrux?
Hmmmm... Interesting...
You do know this was a theory as it was posted before the book came out.
Yeah, I just found it funny.
There were no spoilers, just speculation from before the book was out.
He also says in the song it was a theory he had no confidence in so he actually got it wrong. Hedwig dying was always the better prediction because that one was less popular; loads of people thought harry would be a horcrux.
"If Voldemort kills Hedwig just for yuks" HAPPY TENTH LMAO
:(((
Hedwig does die though
ramywiles and Harry"s brain is a horcrux... (sorta) Happy Almost 11th!
I was at Hank's book tour a couple weeks ago and he sang this song and afterwards he mentioned how it was initially supposed to be Crookshanks in the song but it didn't sound as good so he switched it to Hedwig and then yelled "did I cause that?!" -Hank Green
“If Voldemort killed Hedwig just for yucks” and “If Harry’s brain is a horcrux” were actually accurate
And Snape vowing to protect Malfoy
So many comments are over five years old, and talking about how important this video is. I only came to it because of John's video today about the most and least watched videos on the channel. I've been here years, read lots of John's books, read both of Hank's, donated to PfA, bought PizzaJohn paraphernalia, etc. etc. and yet I'd never seen this important video that made it all happen!
Who's here in 2021 because John mentioned this video in today's video?
that would be me
+
Ayyy who’s visiting after John’s latest vid? :P
Good to see friends here.
Must be a lot of people doing that, because it was in my recommended feed today ❤️
I only through the TH-cam algorithm after everyone watching it back. Thanks to all this people for guiding me the way
@@catherinecase1142 oops I Just said the same but longer
@@catherinecase1142 Same!
HOW DID HE KNOW ABOUT HORCRUXES AND HEDWIG AND OMFG WHAT IS THIS SORCERY I THINK I SMELL A SEER.
Wow, there were some fairly accurate predictions here. lol
HANK GREEN FOR THE WIN!
It's fairly eerie.
Annette Blodgett when he said voldemort kills hedwig just for yucks i was like nope! too soon
Olivia Gonzales It wasn't Voldemort, though. =P
It is hilarious how he actually gets some them correct!!!😃 he is soooo musically talented!!! 🎶🎼🎤
watching 27 year old hank in 2020 is a bizarre experience. i’m 26 now and i was 13 when this came out
But... but like 4 of his theories came true...
I know.... Hank are you a psychic?
*****
-Hedwig was killed just for yuks
-Harry's brain (and the rest of him) was a horcrux and it freaking sucked
-Snape unbreakably vowed to protect that pureblood pus-face Malfoy, among other people, because he was on the good side the whole time
3 of his theories. Close enough.
I think the harcrux was a pretty common fan-theory at the time, as was Snape being a double agent. I'm not positive, I was 10 at the time, but I remember arguing passionately w/ some friends that Snape was somehow a good guy.
I WAS 10 AT THE TIME!!!!!!!! OH GOD, I'M GETTING OLD, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

How many people came back to watch this today?
I'm spending the entire year watching the corresponding video for each day it's great

I was wondering when I'd run across someone else feeling a little nostalgic. Can't believe it's been 10 years

Little did he know...
coconutcore HE WAS A WIZARD
Watching this brought me back to sitting in my grandparents kitchen a week before the Deathly Hallows was released, reading Harry Potter facts in the Globe and Mail, unable to wait, but also wishing the series would never end... thank you Hank
I like how he predicted that Hedwig was gonna get killed and that Harry is a Horcrux. That part about Hedwig made me sad though. I like Hedwig :(
Remember when we all realized that Hank is a timelord?
oh to go back to when loving harry potter was a simple and wholesome thing
I was 13 when Hank made this (and immediately became a fan), now I'm a little older than he was when he made it
i wonder if jk rowling has ever seen this? and if she knows how much awesome stemmed from this one song going viral...

THE HEDWIG FEELS
It’s wild to think that this video is, in a way, the reason why I’m passing biology.
Pretty sure his Accio wouldn't work. Maybe it'd summon a puppy-sized elephant or something, but he definitely didn't pronounce it right.
Accio doesn't summon anything it makes things come to you, do you mean a patronus?
Yeah, I don't know where he's finding an 'x' in it. With Voldemort, it's just because British people never pronounce French right, but Accio is Latin, and I'm fairly confident that it's pronounced correctly in the movies.
Marianne JKR said Voldemort was pronounced with t since she was mostly chosing the name because it sounded good. The french vol de mort thing is just additional
@@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist I thought the same thing but i researched it and it is actually how Hank pronounces it ( cc before ae,e,oe,i is "tch" otherwise it's "k")
Crying at the intro because both Hank and I have changed so much in the past 15 years.
Love ya Hank
Long time Nerdfighter revisiting for the millionth time. I needed some love and light during our dark quarantine time. #HankAndJohnGreenForLife

And always remember Don't Forget To Be Awesome
It still blows my mind that this was uploaded 4 days before the book came out. I can imagine Hank uploading this when I was 10 and then I picked up my first Harry Potter book two months later. While the story closing for him, it was opening for me. It's just mind boggling.
“No spoilers” - proceeds to predict to big book events
every time i read deathly hallows, a little part of my brain will still go “yeh got all of muggle kind under yer spell” and then i remember this guy goes on to write two beautiful books and i feel something has come full circle in my life
Question: How did he know everything before it came out? Answer: tardis
jessica burt nah Time Turner don't you know
This video makes me cry every time.
I feel ya... I thought accio was "AK-kio"
You were SO close with the book predictions!
It is pronounced Aksio, since it comes from latin, and most likely like that. Plus in the audiobooks (came out before the movies), Stephen Fry pronounce it Aksio. So yeah, that's how i think it should be pronounced, so Hank Green is right.
Pascale Audette OMG! Stephen Fry does the audiobooks? I've missed out!

Jim Dale does another version too.
Who's Jim Dale?

Thanks for being so awesome with us.
Discovered Vlogbrothers through this video 10 years ago!! WOw!!
I remember watching this when I was 17, so pumped for the Harry Potter release. I can't believe it's been 10 years and I can't believe how much these brothers have accomplished in that time.

Am I really the first person to come revisit this today?
Just kind of felt like returning to the video that brought y'all into my life was the right move today.
That's why I'm here too.
Holy shit... how did he know? How did you know Hank... Oh my god, he is the Doctor...
Hank is most definitely the Doctor. Who needs wizardry when you're already a Time Lord nerdfighter?
"Wait till you read book seven, I cried." - The Doctor in the episode "The Shakespeare Code"
My six year old just watched this for the first time and now wants to read HP, thank you! 😌
I wish I'd been older during tbe book releases. My sister talks about such wonderful times
Happy 10 year anniversary of this video. Thank you so much for this song and the effects that it has made ❤️
I skipped this video the first time I watched through their videos a few years ago because I hadn't read all the books and didn't understand most of the song. Now, having just finished the Harry Potter series two days ago, I can fully appreciate how amazing this song is. And I must agree with some of the other commenters that Hank must be a time traveler.
Okay...so what? DEATHLY HALLOWS CAME OUT 8 YEARS AGO?! WHAT THE FLIP?? No way. Time really does throw us for a loop.

2021 john sent me here by reminding me of this greatness
So many right things. Clearly he's either a Jedi, Time Lord, Seer, or got sucked into a temporal vortex. Probably one of the first two, 'cause that's more awesome.
Who’s here in 2023 and remembers the original release. What a time to be alive
I just finished Harry Potter for the first time ever tonight. I feel like I'm transported back to this moment in time, when fresh-faced TH-cam (and Hank!) were merely about joy and explosive creativity and love.

God the intro alone :((
This was an era and I miss it so much
Rip the Hank Green who thought this video didn't contain spoilers 😂
Who's here after John's video about the most and least viewed vlogbrothers videos by year?
Hi!
Me!
i was searching for this video, and it's incredible to find a TH-cam video before the last HP release.
Hey it’s 2021 and I’m rewatching this video and remembering watching it as a young 12 yr old. Now I consider myself as semi adult, and love revisiting these :) always love the death cab reference. Thanks to all that the vlog brothers did for me, literally informed my adolescence. Thank you john & hank. This some still slaps, can’t believe how right hank was! What if Harry’s brain was a horcrux!
Waw you watched couple days before John mentioned the video and guided us all here
After John's video today I re-visited this. I feel old now :(
excited for Hank to make a "Depulso JK Rowling" followup
I said this the first time I saw it and I'm saying it again. thank you hank! for making my life so much more worthwhile, thanks for existing, its always been hard to put my feelings into words but I always read comments by people saying they cant stop crying and I just scroll and I get it now, vlogbrorhers is my fettish/obsession, thanks for making my small feel empowered! and somehow today I feel exactly like you did at rhe end of this video. I get it now.
So, you're telling me that Accio Deathly Hallows was a Song Wednesday this whole time? Fascinating.
Dude. He's freaking psychic.
"Voldemort killed Hedwig just for yuks..."
Excuse me while I lock myself in the bathroom to sob.
HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE
I love that this pops up in my recommended again every now and again
This is such a significant video. I feel like I'm watching history being made.
Lol, he predicted, like, half the shit in the book
Lmao, I kept thinking that as I watched!
Okay, Hank is a wizard who specializes in fortune telling. You will never convince me otherwise. Because he does this stuff a lot where he gets it all right.
WOW JUST WOW TEN YEARS AGO TODAY!! I could not imagine my life without this community thank you for creating this amazing part of the internet. It makes me so emotional to go back and see this because hank and John you both have shaped my world and the internet to what it is today and created such an incredible community that helps so many people like myself and is so kind and generous and AWESOME!!!
Hank, John I cannot thank you enough DFTBA
P.S

What is this doing on my recommended today?
Happy, regardless.
Hank, how you do this?????? Proof he has his time machine for EBO!!!
And seven years later I got to see Hank perform this song with his band in a club in San Francisco. I bet 2007 Hank never thought that would happen.
I come back here when I feel like being nostalgic and in need of a hug or a good memory. Excited I was here (under a different account) when it all started. Warm fuzzies for sure.
Hank, you were surprisingly accurate in your predictions for Deathly Hallows.
I am still amazed that he got so many stuff in the book RIGHT! Damn! LOL
This is surprisingly accurate seeing as it came out 4 days before Deathly Hallows did
Totally. Although people had a long time to think of these. I started reading after they all came out. I was too young before.
Yeah me too. I was only 7 when it came out
Cassie Tennyson n me too.
3, actually
And now I'm playing this on loop. Happy 10 years!
when people subscribe to vlogbrothers now because of TFIOS I feel like we all need to let them know that the reason vlogbrothers is successful the way it is, is because of Hank Green singing his heart out for a book that he loves
I love the fact that the title claims to have no spoilers, then he goes and guesses most of the frickin book.
And just when you thin it can't get any better...
Hank, live long and DFTBA
This was one of the first TH-cam videos I remember seeing. And while I have become huge fans of the green brothers, it wasn’t until recently that i realized this was Hank Green singing this.
I think this is a great example of coming back to witness a piece of actual internet history. The algorithm doesn't give this kind of video the attention it deserves, but we give it attention. F*ck J K Rowling, bless the Vlogbrothers.
New video brought me here :D As a rather new (2 years) Vlogbrothers follower, I'd never heard it before :)
a belated welcome to nerdfighteria then, I hope you enjoyed it here so far :-)
Thank you :) I have indeed. The Green's went from unknowns in my book to must watch TH-camrs :)
For those of you too young to remember, after Half Blood Prince came out, there were theories that Harry was a Horcrux and Snape loved Lilly. Neither of those are surprising for Hank to mention.
Hedwig dying, though... :
Two days ago, I led a jam sesh of Accio Deathly Hallows with all the wizard rockers and other attendees at the wizard rock cafe at LeakyCon. So amazing to see so many fans singing along to this song so many years later. It still holds a place in our hearts!!
But the real reason I came to this video bc I wanted to see how you pronounced "accio" and I was NOT expecting "aksio' lol. I hear so many ways but I'm glad no one judged how I said/sang it in front of them lol
