| | |  Harry and the Potters encourage reading
VH1 has a new article/interview with Harry and the Potters, a punk band who write and perform songs based on the Potter novels. They explain the purpose of the group and share some of their experiences. Quote:
"There are many purposes of the band," older brother Paul, the other Potter, said. "One is to encourage reading, definitely. We play a lot of libraries and bookstores and things like that.
The other is to kind of open kids up to some new musical ideas through somebody they're already familiar with, [like] Harry. We took these qualities we saw in Harry — he's got a problem with authority, he has a do-it-yourself mentality ... we took all these qualities that we think define a good punk rocker that Harry shares, and we exploit them and play off them in our shows and in our music.
If Harry did have a band, this is what they would sound like — or at least, we think so."
Quote:
"I hear ('Potter' movie actor) Daniel Radcliffe is pretty into punk rock. We hold out that hope that someday there can be three Harry Potters, all rocking out onstage at the same time. That would be pretty rad."
The DeGeorge brothers also claim they would love to meet series author J.K. Rowling, even though they aren't sure how she'd react to their music.
"Maybe she'll show up to a show," Paul chuckled.
When asked whether the brothers had to secure the permission of Rowling before starting the band, Joe similarly laughs it off: "I don't think so."

xxx ^ yes it is!
I went to see them at the L.A. Library. They were hysterical. I bought both CDs and listen to them all the time. My favorites are "The Weasel" and "The Missing Arm of Viktor Krum."

Avril Lavigne is too cute to be punk...which is funny cuz she's just a punk...
Teddy: But a cute punk...remember her singing "Fuel" at the Metallica Bash on MTV?
Ottery: Yeah, that was one of my most adorable moments of the year...*glomps Avril* she's soooooooooooo cute. Quote:

I wish I could hear some of their music. I've read some lyrics and they seem pretty cool!

Harry and the Potters are hilarious.
If you want to listen to some of their music, you can go here: H&P Myspace. They're really silly. They don't really play punk rock, as is said in the interview, but they are really unique.

I just read the article on mtv.com. I really like Harry and the Potters. So far I've heard two of their songs-Stick It To Dolores and Save Ginny Weasley. I love both. They're really cool.
