In Gryffindor dorm you might find
A talking red fireplace
Ron’s shoe lace
A cauldron filled with a random green potion
Hermione’s blue lotion
Harry’s scarf
Eel barf
Jasmine tea
A willow tree
Harry’s owl
Someone’s towel
Ron’s orange hair
A secret lair
In Gryffindor dorm
You'll surely find more
What we noticed:
Have you noticed how much we love lists by now? Great lists and list poems are selective. In this list the writer has chosen items for their magical qualities and what they tell us about the characters. She has also chosen to use rhyming couplets and then has chosen to surprise us at the end with an almost-rhyme.
