Can you name the Harry Potter character described by each limerick? by McSack

Limerick	Character Name
I’ve got less than a widow’s mite/ My dress robes a terrible sight/ I play second fiddle/ In Potter v. Riddle/ But I’m sleeping with Granger tonight
On film I’m a strapping young buck/ In the books I walk like a duck/ I’m the world’s best seeker/ But not a great speaker/ And Hermy-own-ninny I’d like to date
If you’re looking for evil I’m it/ But I really screwed up, to wit/ I tried to kill Harry/ He used love to parry/ I instead killed myself like a git
I live out in the woods in a hut/ I’m really a bit of a nut/ I raise dragons and skrewts/ I hang out with brutes/ And my mother’s a giant, so what?
I thought J.K. thought I was swell/ She was just biding time 'til I fell/She ended my life/ With Lestrange's thrown knife/ I guess I'll see Rowling in hell!
My spell casting skills are quite keen/ My library visits routine/ I’ve got bushy hair/ I’m totally square/ I’m the brightest witch you’ve ever seen
The Marauders consider me weak/ Am I a man or a mouse? Squeak, squeak!/ Ratted on James and Lily/ I guess that was silly/ And now I’m a one-handed freak

Limerick	Character Name
The Prophet prints nothing but ill/ Of the people I quote with my quill/ A bug getting news/ Granger outed my ruse/ Blackmailed me and told me to chill
I have a strong urge to expound/On the way I was easily downed/In dueling I failed/And I sailed through the Veil/I should have just stayed as a hound
Look, am I really that bad?/ I'm less of a jerk than my dad/ I played Harry's foil/ Just like Crabbe and Goyle/ I'm the number one Slytherin cad
A wizarding force in my day/ I wanted Tom Riddle to pay/ But then Snape did me in/ And now I’m a has-been/ It turns out all along I was gay
Im a redheaded dude with a ‘tude/ It’s my brother who really got screwed/ Snape blasted my ear/ But at least I’m still here/ My twin is the one who’s worm food
My hair’s pulled up tight in a bun/ I turn into a cat just for fun/ I don’t take students’ crap/ So sit down, shut your trap/ Because I’ve got a classroom to run
You knew I would be in this quiz/These books are about me, gee whiz/ Well here's a huge hint/ My best friend is Grint/ I think you can guess who this is

	I love this quiz! Most of the Harry Potter quizzes I take are kind of lame, but yours totally just made my whole day.

	McSack:	Jun 23rd, 2011 at 14:42 GMT	21 points
	Thanks for all the great feedback! I had a good time making this one, and there's plenty more characters to write limericks about.

	Bogeiman:	Jun 23rd, 2011 at 15:51 GMT	7 points
	cool.

	LostxinthexMusic:	Jun 23rd, 2011 at 19:04 GMT	41 points
	Loved the second to last! At first, I kept thinking, "'Date' doesn't rhyme with 'buck' or 'duck,'" but then I realized "date" isn't really supposed to be the word

	jojoba:	Jun 23rd, 2011 at 22:01 GMT	14 points
	I LOVE this quiz, my favourite is Dumbledore! Thank you McSack

	alickszandruh:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 01:41 GMT	7 points
	Jonathan why did you leave out Snape? HULLLLL GULLLLL

	ravenclaw:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 02:52 GMT	8 points
	I loved this quiz so much, words cannot begin to describe how I feel :)

	seniormet:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 03:17 GMT	14 points
	these limericks are actually really good and funny

	hpfan12:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 13:25 GMT	10 points
	Really great Quiz must have taken a while to make, but was definitely worth it!

	padawanofpie:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 14:45 GMT	8 points
	awesome! I remember a while back when the books were coming out, the Guardian or something had a contest asking people to submit Harry Potter limericks. I recall sitting down and attempting to write some...it was incredibly hard! It just makes me appreciate this quiz even more!

	eruli321:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 17:03 GMT	8 points
	Well done, I absolutely love the limericks, so funny! Thank you!

	bigpapi:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 22:27 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz. Should be at least 1 minute less, though. Too easy for a lot of people. Less time would put more pressure on 'em.

	happypenguin:	Jun 25th, 2011 at 16:50 GMT	5 points
	awesome quiz, HILARIOUS!!!!

	Benwins:	Jun 25th, 2011 at 18:09 GMT	36 points
	The line "But I'm sleeping with Granger tonight" is pure awesomeness.

	Benwins:	Jun 25th, 2011 at 18:14 GMT	12 points
	As far as actually conveying the character personality through the limerick, I'd say the McGonagall one takes the cake; that one is seriously well done.

	Delilah1Girl:	Jun 25th, 2011 at 19:01 GMT	7 points
	amazing! this quiz had me cracking up! pleeeeeeeeeease make another one with more characters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

	mistrbrwn:	Jun 25th, 2011 at 22:20 GMT	4 points
	Dumbledore's limerick is the best. Nice quiz.

	Handel:	Jun 26th, 2011 at 22:22 GMT	23 points
	I thought it might be a bit late/ To stay up and to ruminate/ But after three minutes/ I'm glad that I did it/ Because this quiz was really great!

	epic_chick:	Jun 28th, 2011 at 15:03 GMT	5 points
	this was EPIC!!!! wish you had one for snape and lily!!!! this was soooo great!!!

	Chuckles28:	Jul 1st, 2011 at 01:39 GMT	5 points
	I am speechless. This is the best quiz I have ever done in my entire life and I now have the limericks memorized. This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

	cae_prince:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 19:23 GMT	6 points
	I was giggling my way through this quiz. Love the limericks; Dumbledore's and Sirius', in particular, made me LOL!

	Scurra:	Jul 3rd, 2011 at 21:35 GMT	3 points
	Terrible scansion on far too many of these. (No, I'm kidding. I appreciate the effort and enjoyed the results.)

	lilihpfreak:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 04:10 GMT	6 points
	as someone who has been obsessed with harry potter since i was 6 and has been writing poems since i was 11, this is hands down the best quiz i have ever seen in my life.

	amb734:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 09:12 GMT	5 points
	this was wonderful! i would suggest either adding more characters or lowering the time by a minute. i especially loved the mcgonagall one! :) well done!

	pndchoc:	Jul 5th, 2011 at 14:36 GMT	8 points

	hilarious

	Blimpyboy:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 20:29 GMT	10 points
	In Krum's limerick, I think it would better convey your meaning (wink wink) to add three dots before the last word, thusly: "And Hermy-own-ninny I'd like to... date"

	trevorthetoad:	Jul 7th, 2011 at 06:38 GMT	4 points
	LOVED IT!!! some made me actually laugh :D

	sakura16:	Jul 7th, 2011 at 19:31 GMT	5 points
