"MacGonagall's unique poetic talent". Surely you jest. But keep it up, great stuffPing 11:06 29 May 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Wow

I'd always heard that McGonagall was bad, but I had no idea just bad. I haven't laughed so much in ages. Gosh. Maccoinnich 02:58, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

Hey, could we have a native Dundee Scottish speaker read the poem? With all due respect, the current reader sounds a bit too south of England to me. --212.56.114.4 18:39, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Who say's his bad? We need proof people. I like him! Seriously. He's a good poet. We need citable proof from people with renowed poetic knwoledge that he's bad.

Hear, hear! I think he's a great poet! Gorovich 18:08, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think sources would be very difficult to find for those interested enough to search for them—I'm not one of them. This geocities-hosted bibliography[1] might be a start. Searching Google, Google Scholar, etc, informally confirms that he is indeed widely regarded as the worst or at least very bad, even though I haven't dug up specific sources. And I concur. His poetry is essentially prose, broken up into lines that rhyme. EldKatt (Talk) 18:26, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
