How do beloved Taylor Swift‘s songs connect with the unforgettable characters from the Harry Potter franchise?

We’ve got your full breakdown regarding all the most important characters and their relations to Taylor’s catchiest songs.

Harry Potter: Long Story Short.

Harry survived when Voldemort tried to murder him as an infant. And he survived again when he fought Voldemort as an adult.

Taylor sings, “Long story short, it was a bad time. Pushed from the precipice. Climbed right back up the cliff. Long story short, I survived.”

Harry was always meant to be a survivor, regardless of how fearsome his enemy was.

Hermione Granger: Marjorie.

Hermione often ended up being the smartest person in every room. As a woman, there’s no doubt she intimidated the men around her often.

Taylor sings, “Never be so polite, you forget your power. Never wield such power, you forget to be polite.”

These lyrics from Taylor came as wise advice from Taylor’s grandmother, who happened to be named Marjorie. Hermione never dimmed her shine or forgot the power of her intelligence.

Ron Weasley: I’m Only Me When I’m With You.

Ron was an incredibly loyal friend to both Harry and Hermione. There was a stretch of time when Ron dipped on the friendship because he was sick of feeling like he was always going to be living in Harry’s shadow.

But ultimately, he returned and prioritized his friendships.

Taylor sings, “I’m only up when you’re not down. Don’t wanna fly if you’re still on the ground. It’s like no matter what I do.”

She continues, “Well, you drive me crazy half the time. The other half, I’m only trying’ to let you know that what I feel is true. And I’m only me when I’m with you.”

Ron can resonate with these lyrics regarding his perspective on his friendships with Harry and Hermione.

Lord Voldemort: I Did Something Bad.

Voldemort was the worst. From start to finish. And he liked being the worst.

Taylor sings, “They say I did something bad. But why’s it feel so good? Most fun I ever had. And I’d do it over and over and over again if I could. It just felt so good.”

Voldemort liked going after Harry because he wanted to feel more powerful.

Draco Malfoy: Mean.

Draco was the school bully who treated Harry terribly. He was never pleasant to be around because he was always being a D-bag.

Taylor sings, “You. Picking on the weaker man. Well, you can take me down with just one single blow, but you don’t know what you don’t know. Why you gotta be so mean? You with your switching sides and your walk by lies and your humiliation. You are pointing out my flaws again as if I don’t already see them. I’ll walk with my head down trying to block you out.”

These lyrics are words Harry could’ve easily been thinking in his head whenever he interacted with Draco.

Albus Dumbledore: The Great War.

Dumbledore went through a lot while running Hogwarts. There was a war brewing and he was someone with endless responsibilities on his shoulders.

Taylor sings, “To that bloodshed, crimson clover. The worst was over. My hand was the one you reached for. All throughout the Great War. Always remember. We’re burned for better.”

When Taylor references getting burned for the better, it relates to the fact that Dumbledore died as a sacrifice for Harry.

Ginny Weasley: Hey Stephen.

The magic of Harry and Ginny’s love story was precious to see in Harry Potter movies.

Taylor sings, “Come feel this magic I’ve been feeling since I met you. Can’t help it if there’s no one else. Mmm, I can’t help myself.”

Replace the name Stephen with Harry, and this love song makes so much sense for Ginny since she ends up as Harry’s wife.

Severus Snape: Anti-Hero.

Snape was a true anti-hero since he was easy to root for and easy to hate at different times throughout the movie franchise.

Taylor sings, “I should not be left to my own devices. They come with prices and vices. I end up in crisis, tale as old as time.”

His conflicting and heartbreaking storyline makes him the easiest character to label an anti-hero.

Rubeus Hagrid: It’s Nice to Have a Friend.

Hagrid was a good friend to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, even though he wasn’t a fellow student at Hogwarts.

Taylor sings, “School bell rings, walk me home. Sidewalk chalk covered in snow. Lost my gloves, you give me one. ‘Wanna hang out?’ Yeah, sounds like fun. Video games, you pass me a note. Sleeping in tents. It’s nice to have a friend.”

His willingness to be a friend to Harry, Ron, and Hermione was beyond critical to the kids as they grew up.
