Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - O Children (from Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows) 

I think this calls for another harry potter marathon...

Dumbledore said "happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light" so Harry and Hermione did just that

I wish I could obliviate myself so that I could again read and watch *HARRY POTTER* with the same enthusiasm and interest..... Edit : Omg .... Never expected such lovable response

I wish I could obliviate myself and watch this series all over again

Fun fact: Nick Cave was happy that one of his unpopular songs was featured in Harry Potter, and now everyone knows this song from it.

5:10 Who here is a true Harry Potter Fan? Omg this is the most likes I’ve gotten! Thank you all you wizards and witches!

The love I have for Harry Potter is so strong that it hurts.

Will you love this song forever? "Always".

who immediately searched for the song the moment hermione and harry's dance scene

Anyone listening this on 2020 ? This makes me dance

we’re all here for mostly the same reason. harry potter is more than just a book series and some movies. harry potter is what some of us grew up with or what made us miss being young or what keeps us young forever. harry potter taught life lessons and introduced us to love, friendship, and characters we will never forget.

Who's listening in 2024 ?

when you cry to this song instead of dancing you know sumn is wrong

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Dr. Seuss

this song makes me feel like I need to put on my LED lights, grab my best friend and just dance around my room and probably cry and hold each other afterwards. Harry Potter has done this to me

Pass me that lovely little gun My dear, my darling one The cleaners are coming, one by one You don’t even want to let them start They are knocking now upon your door They measure the room, they know the score They’re mopping up the butcher’s floor Of your broken little hearts O children Forgive us now for what we’ve done It started out as a bit of fun Here, take these before we run away The keys to the gulag O children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice Here comes Frank and poor old Jim They’re gathering round with all my friends We’re older now, the light is dim And you are only just beginning O children We have the answer to all your fears It’s short, it’s simple, it’s crystal clear It’s round about, it’s somewhere here Lost amongst our winnings O children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice The cleaners have done their job on you They’re hip to it, man, they’re in the groove They’ve hosed you down, you’re good as new They’re lining up to inspect you O children Poor old Jim’s white as a ghost He’s found the answer that was lost We’re all weeping now, weeping because There ain’t nothing we can do to protect you O children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice Hey little train!We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun And the train ain’t even left the station Hey, little train!Wait for me! I once was blind but now I see Have you left a seat for me? Is that such a stretch of the imagination? Hey little train!Wait for me! I was held in chains but now I’m free I’m hanging in there, don’t you see In this process of elimination Hey little train!We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun It’s beyond my wildest expectation Hey little train!We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun And the train ain’t even left the station

The best scene on the entire Deathly Hallows Part 1

This song does something to me emotionally that I can’t explain..... it’s like I was there... even tho I wasn’t...

Funny thing; this song was released in 2004 whereas in Harry Potter, Harry and Hermoine hear this song in 1997.

Happy September 1st everyone :) Enjoy your train ride back to the magical world

The scene where Harry and Hermione danced to this song was one of my favourite scenes. My other favourite scene was when Harry saw Snape's memory. :)

imagine having a potterhead soulmate and the two of you dance to this before the day you get married ;-;

I never really understood the dancing scene as a child. I just thought it was an awkward scene, but now that I’m a little older i realize that Harry only wanted to take away Hermoine’s sadness. Even if it was for a couple seconds. I love their friendship.

"Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry. Why should that mean it's not real?"-Dumbledore. May he rest in peace

I think we all know what brought us here 😏😏

I never thought harry potter will have a huge impact in my life

this song makes me cry every time

The best scene in all Harry Potter series. True acting. A scene with intelligence and emotions.

Dobby and Dumbledore and Snape and George and Mad Eye Moody and Sirius and Lupin and Tonks and Lilly and James and Lavendar all dying wasn't enough "tragedy" for you?

Dang another Harry Potter marathon now this song is stuck in my head again

5:10 for the bit from deathly hallows

Rest in peace , our Dumbledore. The song in remembrance to the Headmaster of Hogwarts!

It’s always the “Hey little train we’re jumping on” always has me crying

Lyrics: Pass me that lovely little gun My dear, my darling one The cleaners are coming, one by one You don’t even want to let them start They are knocking now upon your door They measure the room, they know the score They’re mopping up the butcher’s floor Of your broken little hearts O children Forgive us now for what we’ve done It started out as a bit of fun Here, take these before we run away The keys to the gulag O children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice Here comes Frank and poor old Jim They’re gathering round with all my friends We’re older now, the light is dim And you are only just beginning O children We have the answer to all your fears It’s short, it’s simple, it’s crystal clear It’s round about, it’s somewhere here Lost amongst our winnings O children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice The cleaners have done their job on you They’re hip to it, man, they’re in the groove They’ve hosed you down, you’re good as new They’re lining up to inspect you O children Poor old Jim’s white as a ghost He’s found the answer that was lost We’re all weeping now, weeping because There ain’t nothing we can do to protect you O children Lift up your voice, lift up your voice Children Rejoice, rejoice Hey little train!We are all jumping on The train that goes to the Kingdom We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun And the train ain’t even left the station Hey, little train!Wait for me!

I'm back after watching Harry Potter 20th anniversary. Almost 9 years since i first read and watched this amazing series. I still love it with my whole soul

I danced with my daughter to this song yesterday. She loved Harry Potter and now is 14 and growing fast 😢.

Harry Potter was more than just books & films. It really is home, we’re just yet to get there. The longing my heart feels is almost unbearable..

I want this to be playing at my wedding and at my funeral

This song is so hauntingly beautiful. Long Live Harry Potter!

I remember having a friend who was a potterhead. I thought it was dumb, though I had never seen the movies nor read the books. Later on, we grew apart and lost our friendship. I read the Harry Potter books, out of curiosity, and I never-NEVER-thought it would have this big of an impact on me than it did. I finally understand the hype. Thank you to that friend for showing me a world I didn’t know I needed.

I felt too many emotions throughout this scene

This song has a special place in my heart. I always think of this song as a allusion to life itself, to the passing of time; of how the old gets replaced by the new. Poor old Jim is white as a ghost; he has finally 'seen the light': the end. He is going to die very soon, without anyone being able to shield him from his fate. He has to watch his children, the cleaners, take over from him. They can, and they will learn from where he went wrong and do things better. They will grow up, and they will gradually lift up their voices. The train we are all jumping on is death, and yes, it has a seat for everyone. We are all 'having fun' (or, better put, having ups and downs) until that train arrives. The singer realizes this and is no longer in chains but is finally free. That's just my interpretation though. Thank you Harry Potter and David Yates for letting me find this song! I lost count of how much times I have listened to it. It allows me to put any bad day into perspective.

I so love this song. The scene. The HP universe. Hermione. Their dance. Their laughter. All of it is amazing and beautiful. To my fellow HP, life long fans, i love u 2.

2024 anyone ? Edit : life dosent feel real when you dance at this song alone in winter

Song release: 2004 DH book release: 2008 DH Pt. 1 release: 2010 The actual year in the story: 1997

The song sounds, in my head I see Harry and Hermione as clear as water, dancing in a tent, when everything is bad, but they are smiling, at least for a moment... the song stops and their smiles fade away of their faces, they look at each other and without saying a word. They know what they're about to do. They are going to stop the dark lord. (I just woke up and i don't even speak english, but i love Harry Potter and this song an that scene creates some sort of pain on my chest... wich is beautiful and make me wish beeing there). Live a happy life. Even in the darkest of times we can be happy... if we know how to turn the light on. Exactly what Harry encourages Hermione to do. Good bay.

It was a rainy day. Power went out. I had my girlfriend over and the livingroom was lit by candlelight. I turned this song on and we danced to it. Smiled, laughed. A moment of peace and togetherness. She didnt know I was a fan

2024?

There is something in this song,making it beautiful. And the scene is really good,Harry Potter is more than a movie.

I wish i had a boy as a bestfriend..and would comfort me by dancing..xD

i would do anything to be Hermione in this scene

This song is just incredible. You almost didn't expect modern music to be in Harry Potter, but it fit the scene perfectly. And thanks to that I discovered Nick Cave which is just delightful.

sadly no more harry potter for us.

My favorite scene in the entire franchise

honestly, just imagine actually dancing to this with harry

5:57 “hey little train were jumping on. The train that goes to the kingdom” 🙁

Who came here after seeing the song in Harry Potter

Anyone here in 2024?

After all this time ?

Harry Potter the best movies ever made ❤

And suddenly i finished another harry potter marathon😅

This song obviously makes you think of deathly hallows but it makes me think of all my friends who have died young in every possible way imaginable from suicide , homicide, domestic violence, overdose. That they'll eternally be young and to an extent forgotten only remembered by the few close to them. I still hear their voices and see their faces and they're gone. It's strange getting older while they're still young and full of life on the other side.. Its heavy to me.

99%: potterheads 1%: here before they watched harry potter

Harry Potter was the definition of MY CHILDHOOD. 🪄✨ 🔮

I'm hearing this while reading deathly hallows! 😆

"do you imagine dancing with severus and dumbledore, sirius, lilly, fred, james, lupin and tonks to this song?" Always.

We all know why we r here... As a huge potterhead, this song fills me with soo many emotions, it basically kinda describes Harry Potter if u kinda think about it. That even tho it looks like everything is bad, there is hope and everything is ok in the end, and amidst all the drama and bad things, the golden trio have each other, always...

This song makes me calm down and helps me escape from what’s going on in the real world

It's so sad to see most the people are coming to this song don't even understand the significance and meaning behind the song. It is so beautifully written.

5:05 for the Harry Potter fans YOURE WELCOME MY FRIENDS

sometimes i have the feeling that harry potter is not good for me because it hurts so much not to be at hogwarts.its more than a normal book or film ... it's our home

Happy " Back to Hogwarts " Day 2024 ❤💙💚💛

5:10 my heart- i love this song so much. the lyrics seem like something harry would say. the train would be the hogwarts express and the fact that he's "free" from the dursleys. and the "we're happy ma, we're havin' fun" is him talking to his mom. "in this process of elimination" its like him saying even though its a process where he might die he's still having fun. am i the only one that always imagined it this way? also sorry if what i'm saying doesn't make sence lol

That Harry Potter 20th Anniversary special hit different.

being a grown ass man, a song should not make me cry. yet here we are....

Rip Maggie Smith🤍

The song and the scene is kinda depressing

Anyone listening to this now 2019?

2022 and still one of the most powerful songs:>>

I'm back in 2023 it still hurts the same when I heard the song so sad I actually cried this time remembering Harry Potter it's over and will never forget it how I fell in love with this movie😢😢

Whoever decided to add the dancing scene with this song playing is an absolute genius that knew just how to tug at our heart strings. I'm so glad Deathly Hallows introduced me to this song

i always cry when i hear this song

I love it when songs incorporate trains or some sort of metaphor into their lyrics. I dunno why, I don't really have an affinity for trains outside of this

For the people wanting to dance to this at weddings... it is a song about the Holocaust. Maybe not the best choice.

This is one of those songs that make you think about life. About regrets. It's sad in a sense. Hard to explain...

Just finished rewatching all of harry potter movies for the second time since my childhood, and I consider myself lucky to have grew up with such good movies and to have such an amazing and special childhood, peace to everyone reading this comment, never lose your inner child ,never lose the joy you had from your childhood.

5:22 for people who are looking for the part Harry and Hermione are dancing to

As a music producer, I want to say how I love that this track is so messy, so dense and loud yet so beautiful as well. From the strings, guitar and ambience in the beginning then to the loud drums, bass and piano all up to the vocal choirs from The Bad Seeds all blends together perfectly. Everytime I listen to this track I hear something new in the production and to a producer, that just warms my heart. Sorry if it got a lil bit too nerdy, this song is just heaven-sent.

Can someone who’s a real talented artist make an animatic of this and what all of the characters from the story are doing while it plays? * Like start off with Harry and Hermione dancing *Then Ron walking all alone through fields trying to figure out where to go *Ginny’s staring out her window at Hogwarts, a big scar from all the torture on her cheek, an angry look in her eyes *Luna is in the Malfoy’s dungeon whispering it to herself *Draco is in his room wiping his eyes as he stares at his dark mark *Neville is in the Carrow’s office getting the Crutiaus Curse on him and all he can think of while he is is that one happy memory of his mum and dad dancing to this song at their wedding that his gran has told him so much about *Fred and George are cleaning up there building that’s been infiltrated by Death Eaters recently and this song comes on the nearby radio *Molly is weeping in Arthur’s arms as it plays, a newspaper article on the table before them about how awful the war is and all the deaths *Remus is staring at pictures of Sirius, James, and Lily while Tonks kisses his cheek from behind him fondly *Seamus is in his bed staring at Dean’s empty one as the song plays from the radio on his nightstand *Dean’s running for his life from snatchers And just everyone is listening to it at the same time, and they’re all scared because they know what’s coming and they’re not ready and this is their last moment before the war really hits them full force and ahhhhh can someone draw this because now I’m crying!

I love this song so much..makes me sad Harry Potter doesn’t exist😭

Always…

Made my sister dance with me:)

I'm 46 and watched these movies with my now 22 and 18 year old boy's. I just watched the 20 year reunion and bawled my eye's out. Harry Potter brings me back to different time's in the world and people actually got along. How I miss those innocent day's......

i love it how when i listen to this song i remind myself harry potter is not just a set of books or movies,its something that brings joy to every little part of me and plenty other people and this part of me will never leave and i wont forget it.

Anyone listening in 2024??

this song makes me feel so peaceful. I don't know how to explain it, but it makes all my worries go away and it just makes me feel lighter ig. (If that makes sense)

I want this song played at my wedding to remind me that “happiness can be found even in the darkest of time, if one only remembers to turn on the light”

Why does this song make me feel this type of way... I’m happy, depressed, and glad at the same time????

R.I.P Maggie Smith..We raise our wands high so you can see them forever...

I know this song of cource from Deathly Hallows too but whenever I hear it, there is a whole other world that comes to my mind... This song reminds me of my time I had in the army when I had to serve my military service. There were some early mornings where I had to catch the bus that would take us - young soldiers - back to our units after the day off we had. Around 5:30 we were all sitting in that bus, looking tired depressed and very sleepy. We all seemed scared and lost at 18 having to serve was not optional. I had my mp3 player and I would listen to this while waiting for the bus to take off. Even though we didnt know each other, we all were at the same position, day by day we all became friends and we made some amazing memories togehter in that dark envirotment. 'Children' may seem like a word refering to our yet to become adult selves that were struggling to survive this way of growth. And the line 'We're happy, Ma, we're having fun And the train ain't even left the station' I always combined the train with the bus and it was like reasuaring my mother that there is no need to worry that we are happy just based on the friendships that we all had. So it's been a long time to hear this song and now those cold stressful nights come in my mind!
