The Ballad of Harry Potter
by Andy Poe



Lost both his parents in the Wizard War.
Started using magic at the age of four.
Then he went to Hogwarts, trained with Dumbledore
To fight the final battle 'gainst Lord Voldemort.
HARRY!  HARRY POTTER!
The boy who had no peer.

His first year at Hogwarts, it was kinda swell
Played Seeker at Quidditch and he played it well.
To save the Sorceror's Stone, he cast many a spell
To find the villain wasn't Snape; it was really Quirrell!
HARRY!  HARRY POTTER!
The Dark Lord was getting near.

His second year at Hogwarts was quite a hook
With giant snakes and spiders everywhere you look.
To clear Hagrid's name, a flying car he took
And he rescued Ginny Weasley from a cursed book.
HARRY!  HARRY POTTER!
Saved by a phoenix tear.

His third year at Hogwarts, well, it wasn't slow
Even though to Hogsmeade he was forbidden to go,
But a bunch of new people he got to know
Like his god-dog, a rat-fink, and a Seeker named Cho.
HARRY!  HARRY POTTER!
The hippogriff makes us cheer.

His fourth year at Hogwarts, he couldn't hide
>From his duties as a Champion and he had to confide
In Myrtle and in Dobby, and though he really tried
To vanquish the Dark Lord, still Cedric died.
HARRY!  HARRY POTTER!
The Yule Ball's his greatest fear.

His fifth year at Hogwarts, couldn't find his niche.
Kicked off the team, couldn't catch the Snitch.
And though writing lines made his right hand twitch,
He still saved Hogwarts Castle from an evil witch.
HARRY!  HARRY POTTER!
That prophecy was mighty queer.

His sixth year at Hogwarts, how could it be?
Draco fixed the Cabinet, set the Death Eaters free.
He watched Dumbledore die and his murderer flee.
He vowed to take a year off with Ron and Hermione.
HARRY!  HARRY POTTER!
His quest was hardly mere.

And in his seventh year, he was really pissed.
His NEWT examinations, he certainly missed.
"Horcruxes, not Hallows," his friends did insist.
And Voldemort died; one more corpse on the list.
HARRY!  HARRY POTTER!
The end is finally here.

And so the Harry Potter series comes to a head.
Good triumphed over evil, just as Dumbledore said.
Now it's time to relax, put the children to bed.
There can't be no more books—'cause everyone's dead!
HARRY!  HARRY POTTER!
Enjoy your last butterbeer!
