SPOILERS For Books 1-6.

Contains content from books 1-6.

It will not be updated with content from Book 7 (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). If/when I create a blog that contains content on the seventh book I will create a new blog and will link from here.

This will forever be frozen as "Pre-Deathly Hallows." There are no Book 7 spoilers here (except for the guesses and predictions developed from these tables of earlier content).

The Hogwarts Song

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot."

Other:
We haven't heard the school song since the first book. Did the teachers rebel against it?

Dumbledore called for the school song when he was feeling particularly buoyant, but times are becoming ever darker in the wizarding world. Should Dumbledore ever suggest a rousing encore, you may assume that he is on top form once more.
