Yup! It's that time again! Time for more random nerdiness. Obviously, today's theme is Harry Potter!
This is one of the best book series I've ever read. I can't recall reading other series that made me laugh out loud, tear up, and keep me reading because I have to know what happens next.
I didn't start out with Sorcerer's Stone. I starte with Goblet of Fire. Which in some ways was better than others. GoF was the half-way point of the series, and it introduced Voldemort as a serious threat. But I was confused as all get out about somethings. Like why Sirius was called Snuffles; or why he was on the run, for that matter. I had no idea what Quidditch was, and a whole sort of other things. So I had to go back to the first three books to answer my questions. And then, I was hooked on Harry Potter.
A good friend of mine suggested I share this, since it's nerdy and all and totally hilarious. This is a ABC poem I wrote waaay back my senior year in high school.
The Last Chapter
ABC Poetry
As
Harry walks
Back
into the forest, I
Clutch
my book
Dearly,
begging him not to.
Everything
has led to this moment in the
Forest;
I wait, maybe
Grawp
will come.
“Harry,”
I
whisper through the pages,
“Just
wait a minute.” But he can’t so many
have been
Killed,
fighting for freedom.
Leaving
everything he loves, he
Marches
into the wood,
Not
knowing the final ending
Of
his story.
“Please,”
I beg. “Let Harry be okay.”
Quietly,
the Death Eaters plan genocide.
Rowling
is a genius.
She’s
got me, completely ensnared at Hogwarts.
Too
soon, Harry makes his last stand.
Understanding
it must happen, I think of the
Various
betrayals that brought Harry
Where
he is now.
Xenophilus,
Quirrell, Wormtail, Draco, Snape.
Yawning,
I force myself to close the book, seeing Harry’s
Z-shaped
scar, peek between his hair.
And
now, the seven part saga has reached its end.
Mischeif Managed.
