    The way he starts off - "This is gonna be so hard...I can't believe I'm doing this" lol Darren's so humble. It's okay to forget the lyrics - it's a looooonng song, and they weren't all his lyrics in the first place anyway! I'm amazed that he could play through the whole thing on guitar. I would've been forgetting chords all over the place!

      i know ive tried learning the other parts, and trying to do only Ron or Harry's or Hermione's part, so it's no surprise the audience harmonized because it's good to know the other parts. love how Darren ends up not doing his part for the chorus though. he actually had the harmony. but can't blame him, it's been so long

    With him forgetting some of the lyrics, in his defense, it is a really long song with a lot of stuff going on during it. Also, since it is a group song, he can't be penelized for not knowing everyone else's lines. With that being said, he totally rocked this song out of the park, straight into pigfarts! This little, dorky fanboy is totally awesome! :)

    Darren always messes up, that's kinda his thing. Mostly in this song, because it's 7 minutes long and has lots of lyrics with the same melody. He usually sings it with the starkids, it must be hard doing the whole song by himself. Don't be so hard on him.
