Harry Potter parody chart-bound?

Harry Potter's musical renditions - the next big thing?

The stars of YouTube parody 'Like It's Quidditch'

As I write this, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 sits atop of both the US and UK Box Office charts, holding off the meagre attempts made by Meet The Parents: Little Fockers and Tron: Legacy effortlessly.

However, when the franchise comes to its climatic finale next year, where does its future lie? Well, based on this rather imaginative and creative parody, a musical career is certainly a realistic possibility. Based on the 2010 top-ten single 'Like a G6' by Far East Movement,  'Like It's Quidditch' is one of the latest videos from YouTube sensations The Station. With such inspirational lines as "The Phoenix gives the orders, down at platform nine and three quarters", it's hardly surprising that the video has almost 2.4 million hits and is sure to be a hit amongst Potter fans everywhere.

Call me crazy, but I could definitely see Harry Potter and Ron Weasley doing this very cover themselves; there's just something about their character interaction that I feel would work flawlessly with 'Like a G6'. On a completely unrelated note, G6 in German is roughly pronounced as "gay sechs", a joke that never got old at a GCSE level. As I said though, totally unrelated.
