“The Prisoner of Azkaban”
To the tune of the traditional Carol The Holly and the Yvy
Oh, the prisoner of Azkaban,
A crazy man named Black,
Of all the wizards sent to jail
He alone came back.
(Chorus)
The dementors were so angry,
On the look out everywhere.
The Ministry put posters of him
To make wizards aware.

At the Dursley’s one fine day
Aunt Marge arrived to sup,
She kept insulting Harry’s parents,
So the boy became fed up.
(Chorus)
By involuntary magic,
He made auntie blow up.
He then escaped from the Dursley’s,
Later, the Night Bus came up.

While on the train to Hogwarts,
When all the lights went out,
A dementor came in and Harry fainted,
But Lupin threw it out.
(Chorus)
The dementors were so angry,
On the look out everywhere.
The Ministry put posters of him
To make wizards aware.

Once Harry and his friends
Were safely back at school,
They didn’t know just who Black was
And thought him cruel and a fool.
(Chorus)
The dementors were so angry,
On the look out everywhere.
The Ministry put posters of him
To make wizards aware.

Then inside the Shrieking Shack
Pettigrew was unmasked.
With the time-turner they went back,
And two innocent lives were saved.
(Chorus)
The dementors were so angry,
On the look out everywhere.
The Ministry put posters of him
To make wizards aware.

Oh, the prisoner of Azkaban,
An innocent named Black.
He goes find a hiding place,
And he doesn’t leave a track.
(Chorus)
The dementors were so angry,
They all wanted to kiss Black.
The Minister of Magic dismissed ‘em,
And to Azkaban were sent back.
