Beedle the Bard Ballad writing contest

This is a finalist's entry of the competition mentioned above, initiated by Amazon.com. The prize is a trip for two to London, England and a weekend with "The tales of Beedle the Bard."

I think it's a really sweet and cute entry! A poem about Harry Potter.

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.
