Your Alohomora! homework: Write a poem for Gilderoy!





In chapter 10 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Gilderoy Lockhart asked his class to write a poem about his defeat of the Wagga Wagga Werewolf, and today Alohomora! is asking you to do the same.

Write a poem of any length that meets Gilderoy's requirements in the comments below. Our Fan Fiction guru Rosie Morris will read her favorites on the next episode!

You know, I'm not exactly the poetic type... However I gave it a shot and I may as well post what I've got! Feel free to "fix" it up if you find a way :D

The Wagga Wagga Werewolf


"Listen up class. Please get take your seats!
I'm going to read one of my great feats!"
Lockheart waltzed swiftly to the mahogany shelf
And whimsically selected a book on himself.


Trying to be smooth, he risked a quick twirl
But lost his own balance and squealed like a girl
The class erupted with laughter - but it did him no harm
He easily fixed it with a memory charm.


With order restored, he opened his book.
"Oh my" He said. "Just look here, look!"
"It's the tale of that Wolf- the one from Wagga Wagga
And how I managed to slay it while performing basic yoga!"


Hermione shrieked with delight and she fell off her chair.
She ran up the front and joined in with him there!
First came the stretches, then came the poses
And then came some punches he bruised Wagga's nose with.


As the bell finally rang, Harry let out a sigh
It was moments like these that he wanted to cry.
For he knew that detention was with Lockheart tonight
And so the Wagga Wagga dance he would learn to recite.

My poem is incomplete...I just blanked out at the end. ;)


In the city of Wagga Wagga,there lived a deadly foe.
A werewolf of great terror,
now defeated as you may know.


When Lockhart heard the tale,
of this gruesome beast,
he swashbuckled in to save the day,
and end the werewolf's feast.

The battle that ensued
was epic there is no doubt.
But the Wagga Waggans new,
Ol' Gilderoy would figure it out.

The great tussle commenced,
brave Lockhart pounced,
with a howl and a moan,
the beast was trounced.

The village applauded
now safe from harm,
filled with dizzy bliss
from a memory charm.

This must be how it happened,
I'm almost sure of it.
If not, then Gilderoy Lockhart
must be full of…

Lockhart walked through the forest glade.
Stopping to rest by the pond in the shade.

As he primped and admired his reflection
In the sea of blue-green
The wagga wagga werewolf snuck up on
Poor Gilderoy unseen!

Grrrr! The werewolf cried.
Poor Lockhart was so startled he about died.
He saw the werewolf about to bite.
"Oh no "he thought "my beautiful face would be such a horrible sight."

So Lockhart reached deep in his pockets
He threw his hair rollers and prized hair nets.
The Wagga wagga werewolf got all tangled up in them.
Thats as good as it gets!

Wagga Wagga village was riddled with fear,
Their monthly attack was drawing near.
Terror spread as villagers waited...
Would their death be the next one fated?

No one yet had managed to end
This werewolf's obsession of biting his friends.
Its victims included 10 wizards and a muggle,
All of which had put up a struggle.

But suddenly, help was at hand!
From a wizard whose smile is renowned in the land.
His intervention was brave
As he tracked the wolf to a gloomy cave.

Lockhart slammed the menace to the floor,
His golden hair snagging in a long curved claw.
Never ceasing to grin
Lockhart gave his wand an effortless spin.

The werewolf let out a piteous cry...
Then was back as a man within the blink of an eye.
Thanks to Lockhart's complex charm
No more villagers would ever suffer harm!

Gave it a shot xD Wrote it as if it had actually been for Lockhart's class, so talked him up a bit.. for good marks, y'know (Slytherin; sorry xP). Also assumed it was situated in Wagga Wagga (New South Wales, Australia). Did you guys know that this HP-reference is actually on the Wiki page for that city? It's hilarious ^^

For years New South Wales had been troubled;
Their anxiety had doubled
As the Wagga Wagga Werewolf wandered around
The damage inflicted profound

But the state was in luck;
World’s most courageous man had heard and come
Got his stunning features covered in the werewolf’s latest victim’s guck
Then fooled the beast by feigning to be paralysed and numb

Yet Gilderoy knew blood did nothing but enhance his facade
And drew magical strength from the public laud
He knew would soon be his
Even when the werewolf’s claws tore his robes in that one miss

In one swift movement he grabbed his wand
Drawing complex diagrams into the sky as he muttered the Homorphus Charm
Leaving a confused Wagga Wagga-man who failed to abscond
Now bound by Incarcerous-ropes and unable to harm

Thus ends our werewolf-tale
Lockhart’s fame righteously risen
Having ended the fatality-trail
With the Wagga Wagga-man in prison

In the Orient young bulls are tested for the fight arena in a certain manner. Each Louis Vuitton Soldes is brought
to the ring and allowed to attack a picador who pricks them with a lance. The bravery of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he
demonstrates his willingness to charge in spite of the sting of the Sac Longchamp Pas Cher blade. Henceforth will
I recognize that each day I am tested by life in like manner. If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward Longchamp Soldes
, I will succeed.I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a
lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the Gucci sacs à main
sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the Longchamp Sac Soldes
sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
