Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare
And full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us stuff worth knowing,
Bring back what we forgot,
Just do your best
We'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot!
1: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2: Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3: There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4: Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5: Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6: His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7: The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8: The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9: The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10: More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11: Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12: Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13: Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
| I kept looking at my copy of Goblet of Fire over and over again thinking, "I'm not imagining it am I ... or maybe I got some fluke rip off copy?" But Joshua's paperback copy also has the same thing as mine (Lily coming from Voldy's wand before James in "Priori Incantatem") So ... the intrigue mounts ... how could this have happened? and which is the "true" version? The one JKR really meant to write? |

post a commentI think the "normal" one is the one she meant to write. My reasoning: if she meant to have it be a big clue like I originally thought then she wouldn't have messed it up the first time. Therefore she must have changed it to the "normal" version to avoid it becoming a false clue.
I found the answer just now on Mugglenet. Basically JKR acknowledged that she put them in the wrong order. So it wasn't a clue after all. The way I found it was by using a google search on these terms: "priori incantatem" +lily
