Harry Potter Sayings

Julia and one of her friends came up with a FANTASTIC idea yesterday during their play-date: create a collection of "Harry Potter sayings" and send them in the mail to J.K. Rowling herself!!

Julia even wrote a sweetly earnest cover letter:

"Dear J.K. Rowling,
I really like your Harry Potter books, so my friend and I (and more friends like your books too!) decided to wright Harry Potter sayings.  I even had a Potter Party with one of my friends!  I hope you like them!
Love, Julia Rowe
P.S. In first grade I was Hermione for Halloween!"


Now, you may be wondering what exactly "Harry Potter sayings" are.  Basically, Harry Potter sayings are little poems that Julia and her friend made up, with heavy emphasis on making things rhyme over making total sense. 

Here are a few of the "sayings" Julia came up with:

"Hermione says, 'in the morning when we here Ron snorring,' Ginny says, 'We find it rather boring!'  They both say, 'We have a new friend, Monnet.  When Ron wakes up, he's in a bonnet!"

When struggling to find a rhyme, simply make up a totally fake, but rhyming, name for a character who is not actually in the books.  Works like magic!  Pun intended.

"Hermione says 'Ginny, oh Ginny.'  Ginny says, 'Oh, I'm so skinny!'  They both say, 'but when you say that you look so grinny!"

Wait.  Ginny and Hermione both say that?  It seems a little weird to me that Ginny would say, about herself, "but when you say that you look so grinny."  Is there a third, unnamed party in the room, who says that with Hermione at the end?  I'm confused.  But hey, it rhymes, and that's what matters when you're writing Harry Potter sayings, right?

"Hermione says 'Good morning!'  Ginny says 'Take Warning!'  They both say 'Voldomort is storming!"

Nice!  I like this one.  It's got a spine-tingling sense of foreboding to it.

"Hermione says, 'Roses, roses, super red.'  Ginny says, 'Voldomort looked so tired I thought he was dead.'  They both say, 'That's why we cursed his bed!"


Mwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa!  Hermione and Ginny are going all super dark with the curse-casting here.  They might be spouting sweet poetical sayings like "roses, roses, super red," but don't let that fool you!


Julia is desperately hoping that J.K. Rowling likes her Harry Potter sayings.  I now have an envelope with the fan mail address for J.K. Rowling on it, ready to go in the mail.  Since the fan mail address is to her publisher in New York City, I'm *SURE* J.K. herself will truly be reading these sayings.  Right??


Julia is not the only kid turning one of her obsessions into an extra project.  I discovered, at Madeleine's school, that SOMEONE (can't imagine who) drew and kindergarten-spelled the names of the Power Puff Girls on a big sheet of  
classroom project paper:

That's right, it's Budrcap, Bulsam and Bubls to the RESCUE!
