Clever and fun. :) Reading these made me smile a lot.Thank you. Some were a stretch, maybe, most of them just great. I enjoyed all of them, but a few I didn't recognize, since we don't have exactly the same original rhymes over here in my country. Translated from the English language, I mean. Hugs from another Snape-aholic.:)

Nice one. Beedle the bard should really move over.

Especially loved Hatch-a-snake. Hogwarts students, Go in and stay was unexpectedly...touching. I liked it, and if I knew all the rhymes (which I don't. Wrong side of the globe.), I'm sure I'd have liked it even better.

Clever and some are just intensely unsettling. Then again a lot of nursery rhymes are. I did imagine a production done of these by children holding candles just below their faces on an otherwise unlit stage. I'd like to see that. I don't have any favourites. Enjoyed every one.

Absolute BRAVO! You win my vote for filking queen with these!

Your sure have done a LOT of research-I can never keep up with what all the different "magical creatures" do.

It does sound exactly like the sort of thing a witch mother would croon to her child (some of the milder ones, anyway-maybe not the one about the snake eating a teacher, but...)

I wish I knew the tune of some of the British nursery rhymnes, that I've never heard of (See-Saw Margary Daw; Goosey Goosey Gander; Boys and Girls, Come Out to Play), but even without the tunes, the verses you wrote are fantastic.

Thanks for such a nice New Year's gift!

You are amazing. REALLY amazing. Also? You kind scare me. Really impressive adaptions, though some are a tiny bit of a stretch. Others are as good as the origionals.

What fun to read! And I imagine as much or more fun to write. I especially liked "Sing a Song of Hogwarts", "Mudblood's Slumber" and "One, Two, Stir My Brew".

I'm sure you had a great fun writing these rhymes!
They are very clever and enjoyable, and even if I'm not English I know many of them so I love the way they have turned out after your job: Sing a Song of Hogwarts, This Little Toad and Hogwarts students, Go In and Stay are my favourites.

This is also a further reminder of how much the fame of HP series owes to those who, like you, developed - and are going on finding - new beautiful ways to expand the original story.

Some of these are really clever. I particularly liked Lavender Brown's poem.

Nice, incredibly creative to corrupt nursery rhymes in such a way that they fit the wizarding world created by JK Rowling. Wonderfully sweet and a fairly ingenious idea to make them up. It must have taken you a while to find enough info. to connect the nursery rhymes in such a way and they surprisingly go well. Personally, I enjoyed the "Sing a Song of Hogwarts" myself since it chronicles and summarizes the events of Book I. Continue with your writing and hope you have a happy new year!

Nice :) I like it. Fairly sure "as if she was" should be "as if she were", though (Ducky Ducky Draco)...

Those are so clever! Well done! If I ever have children I think I'll sing them these nursery rhymes. ^_^
