Molly Weasley is one of my favorite characters from the Harry Potter series. She is the ultimate Mama Bear and she adopts Harry as one of her own long before he realizes it himself. There are some people who see her the way Draco does, as a dumpy, poor woman, but most people see who she really is.
Who is Molly? She is a sister, wife, and mother. She is also fierce, loyal, loving, and kind to those who she loves and feels the need to protect. And I’d never want to get a Howler from her because it would be full of fury and truth, as Ron Weasley found out after taking his father’s Ford Anglia for a joy ride from King’s Crossing station to Hogwarts school, although he and Harry did a pretty good job of rationalizing why they needed to “borrow” the car, and he never meant for it to become feral in the Forbidden Forest.
Mother’s Day is just days away here in the US and I’ve decided to honor Molly as my favorite mother in this series. To do so, I’ve used ChatGPT to create a poem about her. I’d do one myself, but trust me when I say that my ability to write poetry rivals my ability to do art, which amounts to glorified stick figures.
Using ChatGPT can be challenging to get your desired results, which I found out during this project. It took a few tries before I was satisfied with the result, which you can see below and I had to play around with different prompts until I got this.
Honoring Molly Weasley on Mother’s Day
In a quaint little house, where warmth resides,
Lives Molly Weasley, with love as her guide.
With a flick of her wand and a twinkle in eye,
She weaves magic around, reaching for the sky.
Seven bright stars in her motherly sky,
Each child a treasure, she’ll never deny.
From Arthur’s embrace to her bustling brood,
Her love, a potion, forever renewed.
In Burrow’s embrace, where laughter rings clear,
Molly’s the heart, drawing loved ones near.
With knitted jumpers and homemade treats,
Her care and affection, no one defeats.
Through trials and triumphs, she stands tall,
Facing dark times, she gives it her all.
With courage undaunted and spirit so true,
Molly Weasley, a Gryffindor through and through.
So here’s to the mother with a heart of gold,
Whose love and kindness, a tale untold.
In Hogwarts’ tapestry, her legacy gleams,
Molly Weasley, the stuff of dreams.
