Revision as of 13:11, 21 August 2009
- "We wanted to write another couple of verses. But we couldn’t find rhymes for fat and ugly – we wanted to sing about his mother, see…we couldn’t fit in useless loser either – for his father, you know… But you like the Weasleys, don't you, Potter? Spend holidays there and everything, don't you? Can't see how you stand the stink, but I suppose when you've been dragged up by Muggles, even the Weasley's hovel smells okay... Or perhaps, you can remember what your mother's house stank like, Potter, and Weasley's pigsty reminds you of it –"
- — Draco Malfoy taunts Harry Potter about the Slytherins' song[src]
"Weasley is Our King" is a song composed by Slytherin students at Hogwarts in 1995 to mock Gryffindor Keeper Ron Weasley's abilities and thus undermine his confidence. It seems to have been composed by Draco Malfoy, and Pansy Parkinson directed her fellow Slytherins in singing it in a choir at Quidditch matches.
The first time the Slytherins sang this song, Malfoy taunted fellow Seeker Harry Potter about it, eventually encompassing the Weasley family and Harry's mother into his insults, starting a fight that resulted in Harry and George and Fred Weasley being kicked off the Quidditch team by Dolores Umbridge.
Original Lyrics
Weasley cannot save a thing,
He cannot block a single ring,
That's why Slytherins all sing:
Weasley is our King.
Weasley was born in a bin
He always lets the Quaffle in
Weasley will make sure we win
Weasley is our King.
Weasley is our King,
Weasley is our King,
He always lets the Quaffle in
Weasley is our King.
Modified Lyrics
The Gryffindor team eventually revised the lyrics and reversed their meaning to be more complimentary after they won the Quidditch Cup.
Weasley is our King,
Weasley is our King,
He didn't let the Quaffle in
Weasley is our King.
Weasley can save anything,
He never leaves a single ring,
That's why Gryffindors all sing:
Weasley is our King.
