Glad to here that's official!
Hopefully, the picture of Seth Green means one of the other 2 remaining videos other than the JibJab one will be animated by the Robot Chicken guys.

Is it just me, or did anyone else think of Something Wicked This Way Comes, which is Ray Bradbury? That was a book, then a movie in 1983. Probably not what Al's going for, but that was my initial thought.

Yes, it was a play on words to match that book title and has nothing to do with the song...

I don't get why people assume that it would be a reference to Harry Potter. John Williams did use that in one of the songs for the third Harry Potter movie, but as others have pointed out, the Harry Potter movie did not coin the phrase, and I don't know that most people would even make that connection. I agree that the phrase probably has nothing to do with the song.

As I said: Shakespeare.
The phrase "Something Wicked This Way Comes" originates from the play MacBeth.

I really don't associate that phrase with Harry Potter. It's clear to me that the JibJab animators were just using it to be clever. I think it's over-analyzing things just a hair to make the connection to Harry Potter. I was just commenting on the likelihood of a Harry Potter song because of the timing of the release. I still don't think the song will have anything to do with HP, however.

Did not see that. I only saw the original post. Thank you for clearing it up.

I don't think Als gonna make a song about Harry Potter, it just doesn't seem like the kind of movie he would make a song about. I remember back when the first movie came out, there was a bunch of people "Against" Harry Potter because they didn't believe in something in the movie, I even had a friend who was not allowed to watch harry potter, the teacher rented the movie and brought it to school to watch on the last day a few years ago, and we couldn;t all because of him. so theres a chance of something like that happening because of the song, i think
