A MAGICAL JOURNEY
(A STORY OF THE BOY WHO LIVED)
Once upon a time there was an orphaned fellow,
Whose tales of adventures would make you cheer
and bellow.
Treated like a doormat – by his uncle and aunt,
He’s left with no choice, but to groan and
grunt.
When taken to a zoo, once he is
He discovers he can talk with snakes, that too
with ease!
The knowledge of his magical ability makes his
guardians worry,
And they fill the boy’s life with woe and
misery.
Then all of a sudden a letter comes his way –
That adds a surprise to an otherwise very plain
day.
However, the letter, he is not allowed to see,
For his uncle reverses his small moment of glee.
So the boy’s life continues to be like hell,
‘Cause with his galling uncle and aunt he has to
dwell.
Soon his birthday arrives, but there’s no one to
wish,
When suddenly a sound could be heard –
Like a thump and swish.
A giant man is seen – like the ones in folklore,
Having arrived at their house, breaking through
the door.
The man introduces himself,
As belonging to the magical world,
And tells the boy that he is a wizard –
Leaving him startled.
The man enlightens the boy about his parents’
death,
And how he got a nasty scar on his forehead.
Then the boy travelled with the man to a
magical world so cool,
And was admitted to attend a marvellous magic school.
Arriving at the school, the boy made great new
friends –
A red-headed lad and a girl whose knowledge knew
no ends.
The boy was sorted in the house of the
courageous and the brave,
A house reputed for brilliant wizards, in the
past that it gave.
And so the boy and his friends’ thrilling
adventures began,
Which would surpass the wildest imagination of
an ordinary man.
As years passed by, with the tales of this boy
we whirled,
As with his selflessness and fortitude he went
on to become –
One of the greatest wizards in the wizarding
world.
With the ceaseless support of his friends and
guidance of his mentor,
The boy defeated the darkest wizard of the time
– Lord Voldemort!
~
The epic tale of this boy taught us many lessons
– big and small,
How love and friendship are the most powerful
forces of all.
So listen ye Potterheads, the boy is no other,
But our very own, the boy who lived – HARRY
POTTER.
Now as the story of The Chosen One has completed
over twenty years,
We all rejoice, both with joy and tears.
For there hasn’t been yet a story told better,
We Potterheads admit in unison,
Still waiting for our Hogwarts Letter!
