Harry Potter: The Brave or The Blockhead?

"The Boy Who Lived", as they say,

Why was Harry Potter the prey?

And how did he survive his predator?

Are the secrets known, or are still undercover?


Harry Potter, the "valiant", the "brave",

How many people did he actually save?

Was he even really that significant?

Or was he just someone with unwise exuberance?


He was one with courage, I'd agree, of course,

But I'll tell you why he's not in Ravenclaw,

He's filled with nonsensical mindsets,

And dangerous ideas that can make one fret.


Was he as powerful as we were told he was?

I believe it's not real and thus,

I shall conclude that Harry Potter, however,

Is not the figure we all imagine.


But let me stop you right here,

Before you threaten me to boot me with fear,

Harry Potter was famous not because of his power,

But the protection from his mother, just an extra layer.


But Harry Potter was a daredevil, venturous boy,

He showcased personalities none could show or tell,

And he won victory against Voldemort's ploys,

He didn't murder him; but reversed Voldy's spell.


So in the end, in the actual conclusion, 

Harry Potter was doughty and gallant,

But Harry Potter will, always, be,

The most unwise, rash yet a person who is valiant.

    Yes he is a bundle of valour, temperamental, studious, honoring friendship, sympathiser of Toby and elves..... Having all the traits of a normal human. Well articulated

    Awwww!! You broke my heart with this poem , Shriyan!! 💔 let me see if I can make you see things a little differently!

    In chemistry , there’s a concept of ‘activation energy’. You take any chemical reaction , for any changes to start occurring, Activation Energy needs to be provided. In case of photosynthesis , it is the sunlight; in some cases you have to manually stir the reactants in order for them to move and break the bonds they have and thereby start reacting. True, Harry did take loads of help from people at various junctures, but what he did was - provide the ‘activation energy’ to bring about a change. He seeded the ideas directly or indirectly in most cases for people to then build upon and take care of the execution part. That was his core strength. In a few cases , even constantly lamenting about a few things worked out as the initial seeding to set things in motion!

    It is very good to see that you are able to bring forth a point after reading the story, assimilating it and then forming your own conclusion! That is the process that kick starts thought leadership in people ! You are sure to go places da kanna!

    Loads of love to you!!

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...

They

You know what they say, "Practice makes Perfect"?  You know how they say, "Let the past  Be the past"? You know how you feel Knowing something you're doing  Is not right, You know they're watching you ponder, You do, right? They stay around you, you meet them, see them Everyday, They can give glowing smiles, or uncanny looks Depending on the aura around you - Wherever you are, they are there  They are there everywhere. You might think you're alone, somewhere D eserted But you never are They're still there - And they are also probably the ones Who know you, better than you know  Yourself. They say confusing strings, There are lots of songs they sing, They have seen lots of things, There's something, which, to myself I'll always Think, It will either remain unanswered,  Or will be forgotten,  But I shall not think it will be addressed But nonetheless -  They cannot control  Everything you do  Even if the things they have said  Echo co...
