My Best Goal (QTTA, Chap. 6) 

To the tune of My Best Girl from Jerry Herman's Mame 

THE SCENE: A British Quidditch field, 1883. The Department of Magical 
Games and Sports ignites controversy when they force teams to adopt 
standard-sized baskets to replace the beloved baskets of yore

QUIDDITCH PLAYER (to his old-style basket)
You're my best goal, and you're neither too big or long
No matter how strong foes be
I know they'll never score to win
`Cause you're too small to sink it in

And when we play, our other goal, as you see
Is as large as the great Welsh Green
You won't disappoint, I'll score my ten points
In my goal.

MINISTRY OFFICIAL:
It's your last game with baskets of different size
It's a national disgrace
We say to all of you wise guys
The time has come to standardize
In this next game a new goal post I've installed
Is taking your basket's place,
Despite your dismay, we're doing away 
With your goal.

PLAYER
And one this day when every fan runs amok,
You'll need to escape post-haste,
If baskets you burn,

PLAYER & MINISTRY OFFICIAL
And dare overturn
Our/Your best goal...
Our/Your best goal...
