I’d Never Forget Your Birthday
      
I’d never forget your birthday
I’d like your hair just fine
I’d buy you lots of clothes that fit you
If you were a nephew of mine

You’d tell me tales of magic
I’d listen with pride and glee
Heaven knows you’ve already cast
Your special magic on me

You’d have a lovely photograph
Of your parents beside you at night
And I would tell you stories
That would fill you with delight

You will be a great wizard
And do the things great wizards do
Now the whole world knows your birthday, Harry
So many happy birthdays to you

Boundless Appeal
      
A bright blue Harry Potter cap sat firmly on his head
This nine year old who could not see, and his mother proudly said
He’s read all the books in Braille

Age is but a number, language, culture matter less
And each is read at least once more while waiting for the next
Big day when they go on sale

I think the children of our children, this hobby will engage
As those who once would not have read devour every page
And “why is this”, you say?

Is it the characters, treatment or plot that planted the seed?
The words and lines and chapters seem to make us want to read 
Harry is here to stay!
