Written Rap Battles of Literature: Lyra Belacqua vs Harry Potter

 HARRY POTTER

How about that? A wizard vs a little brat!

Don't need a rabbit to pull out of this hat.

Your author pales in comparison to mine

She's rich, she's beautiful, and she dines fine.

As far as bestsellers go, I have no equal

And I'll mess you up hard like PP did in the sequel.

You're an anti-intellectual ragamuffin, I'm a great wizard

You wandered around in the middle of a great blizzard.

LYRA BELACQUA

And I thought I pulled pranks, now you’re taking the piss

Firstly, most importantly, don’t diss this miss!

And they think killing God was an utter travesty

But you’re just the bane of adolescent fantasy!

You're forgotten, your writer's a blatant homophobe

Whereas my name's getting fame all over the globe!

My author's not rich, but at least he's more educated

Your Auror career should have just dissipated. 

HARRY POTTER

Now you listen here, you little Dido Shite

Neither your film nor your show could get you right.

I made JK Rowling a millionaire overnight

Whereas Hollywood mocked your author out of spite!

You always run around, getting into trouble

I'll Stupefy you so hard, you'll be seeing double!

You can't even know what you're supposed to do

But your entire book series runs on "boo-hoo!"

PAN

Lyra, don't you think we should get Will on this one?

LYRA BELACQUA

Nah! Hush, Pan, I know we can get this done.

Now Harry, I know you cannot call yourself a stranger

But what on earth did you do to Hermione Granger?

You're spoiled, entirely dependent on magic

But your backstory's really unnecessarily tragic.

You trashed Dumby's office, you yelled at your friends.

And you let Voldy use you for his own ends.

HARRY POTTER

What about you? You were born out of wedlock

But your mother, oh, she can suck my kokk

She drugged you in a cave, tried to make you a slave

It's a wonder you didn't end up as depraved.

You blunder your way through life and everyone lies to you

Your writer's horrid blog posts remind me of goo.

You became so dependent on Will you lost your character

Your Ayn Randian fantasies soaked up you up hereafter.

LYRA BELACQUA

Before the telly I walked through radio dramatisation

While you became soaked in gross commercialisation!

You're just as prone to deception and lying

At least readers of my third book were all left crying!

I saved an abandoned child from a hut up north

You couldn't even find a friend who had proper worth.

Tom Natsworthy just called and he wants a spot

So I think I'll give him the pedestal you've got.

WHO WON?

WHO'S NEXT?

WE'LL SEE!
