| | |  Finalist voting for Beedle the Bard contest
Amazon.com has posted the two finalists for its Beedle the Bard contest. Go here to vote and help determine which lucky fan will wing their way to London to see The Tales of Beedle the Bard in person! Quote: Ages 13-17:
Rhiannon D., age 16, Australia
When I was six, he was eleven
I learnt how to be brave.
When I was seven, he was twelve
I learnt to misbehave.
When I was eight, he was thirteen
He taught me how to cry.
When I was nine, he was fourteen
He showed me how to try.
When I was twelve, and he fifteen
He taught me to forgive.
When we were fourteen and sixteen
I learnt what it was to live.
When we were fifteen and seventeen
He showed me he could bleed.
But growing up with Harry taught me, mostly, how to read.
Ages 18 and Over:
Laura H., United States
Harry Potter presents us
with these seven themes:
Live life to the fullest;
don't dwell on your dreams.
Be there for your friends
in fair weather and rain.
Don't trust anything
if you can't find its brain.
Background's not important;
we all can go far.
It's our choices in life
that define who we are.
Though the fight against evil
may claim your last breath,
Stand up for what's right!
There are things worse than death.
Have faith! There's a Plan,
even if you can't see
Every thread woven into
the grand tapestry.
The winner will be announced on May 22.
Thanks to Blog Hogwarts for the tip!  | |

I may be biased but Rhiannon's poem stood out among the entries when they were published (she's an Aussie too!)
Go Rhiannon!!

I've to say Rhiannon, it's really beautiful. And it reminds me of how an amazing writer Jo is, and how glad I am, that I read Harry Potter. I really agree with her!

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Rhiannon is really not that young since she's 16 years old. Though I do wish that the age would've been given for Laura because 18 and up is a huge category.
I like both. Rhiannon's is a bit more personal and creative. Laura's is somewhat word-for-word for themes but still very good.

Mm, I agree. They are both really good, but Lauren's is kind of word for word. It doesn't take someone that special to do that, no offense. It's a great poem, but it wasn't all that creative. I like Rhiannon's. *goes to vote*
