author_by_night | Harry Potter .gifilk: The Stars Look Down/The Boy Who Lived

I love filks. I also love fanvids, but alas, I cannot make fanvids.

But what if I can find a happy medium?

Feel MORE THAN free to do this! even call it .gifilk.

Today's is "The Stars Look Down" from Billy Elliot, Harry Potter style. Some images from other media will be used. (Including from the original Billy Elliot film.) Arthur Darvill is intended to be a young Arthur Weasley. Lucy Davis and the actor I am unfamiliar with are intended to be Alice and Frank Longbottom. The idea is that it takes place at the beginning of the first HP book.

(Disclaimer: I don't own any of this. Do you really think if I owned all this, I'd be making .gifilks and not drinking Mojitos on a beach somewhere?)

Note after finishing: This is more of a fanvid image style than a filk, FYI. But I did change some lyrics.

Through the dark
And through the hunger

Through the night and through the fear

Through the fight and years of hardship
Through the storms and through the tears

And although your feet are weary
And although your soul is worn

And although they'll try to break you
And although you'll feel alone

We will always stand together
In the dark, right through the storm

We will stand shoulder to shoulder
To keep us warm

And the stars look down mean and hungry
And the stars look down and show the way
And the stars look down and we'll stand together
To see a day

When the stars look down and know our history
When the stars look down and know our past

And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we stand as one, beneath the sun

Though our words are rebuffed and weakened
Though some wands are turned to dust

And our hearts are near to breaking
We will never forgo the trust

We will fight through pain and hunger
Every cauldron, every knife

And we will never give the hope up
Of a proud and honest life
So we will always stand together
Through the frost, the hail, the snow

The stars are our redemption
And some know

The stars look down upon our struggle
Look down in the heart of night
And the stars look down and give us vision
To see the light

The stars look down when we're abandoned
Look down in the heart of night

And the stars look down to give us vision
To see the light

The stars look down upon our struggle
The stars look down and know our past

The stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we stand as one, beneath the sun

All out together
All out as one
All out for victory
'till we've won

All out together
All out as one

All out for victory
All out 'till we've won

Ten years later...

Raise me up
And hold me gently
Raise me up
Not with a rake
Get me out of that cupboard

At least it seems
I talk to snakes
And although he's been rejected
And he caged like an outcast
Will he break free from the cage
And find his way to Brazil at last?

And we will stand up proudly
And we will never walk alone

And we will be returning
To our true homes

And the stars look down at their reflection
And the stars look down and there's a light

When the stars look down they'll see the justice
And the right

And the stars look down and see the struggle
And the stars will look down and know the pain

And the stars will lead us back to where sun shines again
Where we'll stand as one beneath the sun

When we stand as one
All out together

When we stand as one
All out as one

When we stand as one all out for victory,
When we stand as one 'till we've won

When we stand as one 'till we've won

When we stand as one all out together

When we stand as one all out as one

When we stand as one all out for victory,
When we stand as one 'till we've won

When we stand as one all out as one,
