Today, I caught up on a challenge issued by fellow vocal media creator L.C. Schäfer. The original publication is linked below if you’d like to read it:
Dollar Challenge (August/September 2024) - Let the Magic Begin
L.C.’s challenge immediately drew my interest: Write a short story of 300-600 words and include a quote inspired by the Harry Potter books or films. Well, I am most definitely a Harry Potter nerd (I’ve even been sorted into Slytherin and have my own Patronus), so needless to say, I was extremely excited to enter this challenge.
I decided to go with a humorous parody in which our hero, Harry, is a bodybuilder. I changed the names of many popular characters and weaved a story about a gym rat trying to set the local record on a chest press machine. The ending is funny, with a twist on a famous line by Mr. ‘Albus Dumbelldore.’ I think fans of the franchise will enjoy it. To read it, click the link below and be sure to let me know what you think!
