The Hogwarts Hanukkah Song


Wearing my yalmulka, at Hogwarts for Hanukkah
Let's get harmonic-kah and sing out for Hanukkah!

The Great Hall has twelve fairy-lighted trees
But how about one menorrah, Headmaster, pretty please?

When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree,
Here's a list of wizards who are Jewish, just like you and me:

You should visit Madam Malkin, for robes without peer,
And also Cassandra Vablatsky, the celebrated seer.

Bertie Botts whose Every Flavours make each day a bit sweeter
Josef Wronski who feinted and most likely Rita Skeeter. [1]

Oswald Beamish, who pioneered goblin rights [2]
Was probably one who celebrated Eight Crazy Nights.

You don't need Deck the Halls although Jingle Bells works
But you can buy and sell goods at Borgin and Burke's (spoken:both Jewish!)

Nicolas Flamel wasn't Jewish in history,
But without Abraham the Jew, the Stone would still be a mystery. [3]

One guy who most likely has a 6-point star under his cape
Is our dark-featured hook-nosed Professor Severus Snape!

Perhaps Hannah Abbott, but her beau Ernie Macmillan
I'm sure, would convert before they ever have chillen. [4]

And then there's Ms Brocklehurst whose first name is Mandy
She's a Ravenclaw who could be a Jew and that's dandy.

Jews in the pop group Weird Sisters of show biz--
Orsino Thruston isn't Jewish, but maybe lead singer Myron Wagtail is.

Tell your friend Hermione-kah, its time you celebrate Hanukkah
I hope I don't sound whiny-kah, on this lovely, lovely Hanukkah.

Jews Muggle and Magical marry outside the blood long since
But don't you wonder about the blood of the Half-Blood Prince?

[1] Ok, so her name isn't remotely Jewish, but she reminds me so much
of Joan Rivers I made a jump.

[2] So many civil rights pioneers are Jewish that I made another
assumption.

[3] Abraham the Jew was essential in translating the tablets that led
to the development of the Philosoper's Stone. See

[4] I apologize.
