Harry Potter 7

(Poem 244 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

This time what struck me was
the intimacy of Hermione and
Harry’s friendship as young
adults trying to endure hardship.
They leaned on each other for
support and inspiration and
literally for survival in dire times.
To have even one friend you
would trust with your life and vice
versa is a miracle, yet this story
depicts those depths of friendship
as the norm…what an aspiration.

Harry Potter 4

(Poem 241 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

I think what I noticed most this
time around the Goblet of Fire
was just how good a young man
Cedric Diggory was depicted as.
He was the lad every girl would
want to bring home to meet the
parents and the British version
of the quarterback All-American—
a man’s man, rugged good looks
and charm, kind to everyone and
if he could be so effortlessly killed,
what did that say for everyone else?

Harry Potter 3

(Poem 240 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

Scabbers lived the good life
for 12 years with the Weasley
family, a suspiciously long
time for a rat with teenage
boys for primary caretakers.
Enemy of Crookshanks for
false accusations of ratricied,
motivation for Sirius to flee
Azkaban after spotting him,
found in Hagrid’s cabin where
he hid like the coward he is,
an Animagus whose unforgivable
betrayal created orphans of
too many children to count.

Harry Potter 2

(Poem 239 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

Sneaky, sneaky little red-head
naughty girl, how did I not notice
you before with your guilty looks
and furtive glances as you wrote
with Tom in your evil journal?
As many times as I’ve watched
this movie, I’ve never noticed
the full-grown adult man who
slipped the diary into your books,
and started you down the dark
path that nearly cost you your life.

Harry Potter 1

(Poem 238 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

This time around, what struck me most
was how utterly alone Harry was before
finding his family and place at Hogwarts.
A boy of 11 should not have to bear the
cruelty he endured at the hands of his
neglectful relatives in the cupboard under
the stairs at 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging.
Told his whole life he’d amount to nothing
and best make himself scarce, then told
he’s famous, the boy who lived, a magical
miracle admired and marveled at by all,
is enough to warp the mind and heart.
Yet, this little boy is willing to face any
enemy, that others might live without fear.
