Love

"Magic"

Wands at the ready
Incantations on the tongue
The power of magic
Has only just begun

02

Love

"Golden Snitch"

Fluttering wings
A blur of gold
The snitch eludes
Yet we never grow old

Chasing after it
Our hearts in a race
For catching the snitch
Is our ultimate grace

Love

"Hogwarts"

Towers reaching high
Gargoyle guardians in the sky
Mysteries unfold
Secrets untold

Hogwarts stands strong
In the face of danger
A beacon of hope
For every Hogwarts stranger

04

Love

"Patronus"

A silver light
In the darkness of night
My Patronus so bright
Fights off every fright

With a flick of my wand
And a happy thought in my head
My Patronus appears
And fills me with dread

For it reminds me of fear
And the memories I hold
But with my Patronus by my side
I can be brave and bold

The Sorting Hat

The Sorting Hat sits high on the shelf,
A wise old wizard's gift to himself.
It knows the secrets of every heart,
Deciding where each student must start.

Four houses it divides them into,
Each with its own traits to stay true.
Gryffindor, brave and chivalrous,
Hufflepuff, loyal and generous.

Ravenclaw, wise and intellectual,
Slytherin, cunning and ambitious.
But no matter which house you're in,
You'll learn magic and make great kin.

So put on the hat with trust and grace,
It'll guide you to the right place.

The Forbidden Forest

Beneath the moon, the forest looms,
A place of secrets and spine-chilling booms.
The path is perilous and treacherous,
Leading to the home of mysterious creatures.

The centaurs roam among the trees,
Thestrals glide on the lightest breeze.
Werewolves howl and unicorns shine,
And giants make their stomping decline.

But beware the whispers of the dark,
By Death Eaters, it's left its mark.
Keep your wits and stay alert,
And from the evil keep alert.

So venture in, with caution and awe,
Let the mystery fill your heart's great craw.

The Hogwarts Express

On the first of September, at Platform 9 3/4,
A magical journey sets the happiest score.
The Hogwarts Express, with steam and might,
Takes the students to the castle's sight.

With chocolate frogs and pumpkin pasties,
Excitement fills the air, no one is hastie.
The compartments are filled with friends,
And for the journey ahead, the fun never ends.

But listen close and hear the tales,
Of triumph and loss, of new friendships' trails.
Hogwarts awaits with its grandeur and pride,
And Harry Potter taking his heroic ride.

So board the train with delight in your heart,
And embrace the magic, you'll never want to depart.

The Boy Who Lived

In a world of magic and wonder,
Lived a boy who was born to thunder,
His name was Harry, a wizard in need,
But he was orphaned with no one to heed.

Darkness loomed, a prophecy foretold,
A chosen one, whose fate was bold,
The wizarding world was in great distress,
For the Dark Lord's reign, they could not suppress.

But Harry Potter, the boy who lived,
A glimmer of hope, the prophecy believed,
He may be young, but he was brave,
With his friends by his side, they will save.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
A place for young witches and wizards to be,
Here Harry found his friends, Ron and Hermione,
Together, they'll fight for a world in harmony.

First year, they battled a troll,
While Voldemort planned to take control,
Second year, a basilisk was the quest,
While the Dark Lord's diary caused unrest.

Third year, they met Sirius Black,
But soon they learned it was a trap,
Fourth year, the Triwizard Tournament,
With Voldemort, the final opponent.

Fifth year, the Order of Phoenix was formed,
To fight the Dark Lord, they were warned,
Sixth year, Harry learned about Horcruxes,
Seven in all, they must destroy to defeat the causes.

Seventh year, the battle was nigh,
The Dark Lord's army, ready to die,
But Harry, Ron, and Hermione,
Faced the darkness with bravery and unity.

In the end, love conquered all,
The Dark Lord defeated, the world stood tall,
Harry Potter, the boy who lived,
Brought peace to the wizarding world, his legacy survived.
