| | Report and Pics from 'Harry and the Potters' Concert
This past Friday, July 28th, SS Mod Kay, demented_death_eater, attended the Harry and the Potters "Summer Reading and Rocking Tour 2006"! She has very kindly written up a report and given us pictures from the event: "Summer Reading and Rocking Tour 2006" by Kay (demented_death_eater)
Wizarding rock electrified the Muggle hamlet of Riverside, CA on Friday, July 28 as Harry and the Potters, accompanied by Draco and the Malfoys, made a stop on their six-week Summer Reading and Rocking Tour 2006. A crowd of nearly 70 Muggles and Wizards gathered in front of the Glen Avon Public Library in the early evening hours to hear the catchy tunes of the two groups. Draco and the Malfoys opened up the concert to the glee of the many Slytherins in the audience and explained that all of their songs are from the perspective of Harry Potter's rival. Catchy songs, such as "99 Death Eaters," "Broomstick," and "My Dad is Rich," had the audience laughing, singing and dancing along. There were many Muggles who fell under the intoxicating spell of the Malfoys, and the crowd erupted into howling cheers as the group poured all of their energies into "Voldemort is Awesome" and "Hippogriffs Deserve to Die" to end their 40 minute performance.
Between performances, the fans lined up at the merchandising table where t-shirts, CDs, and yes, toothbrushes, were on sale. A few fans scrambled to have their pictures taken with the Malfoys while the Potters were preparing to take the stage.
Harry and the Potters took to the stage amongst deafening cheers and whistles, and immediately jumped into their song "Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!" As they sang, the crowd moved in closer to the band and shouts of "We love you Harry!" could be heard from several audience members. The Potters performed many of their memorable songs, including "Save Ginny Weasley," "Stick It to Dolores," and "SPEW." Their earlier material seemed to be a warm up and they seamlessly moved into playing songs from their latest album, "Harry and the Potters and the Power of Love." The song "Save Ginny Weasley From Dean Thomas" had the audience clapping and dancing along, while "The Hogwarts Tonsil Hockey Team" had the entire audience in hysterics. The band took their final bow as the last few rays of the sunset glowed in the sky and their hour-long performance received a well-deserved standing ovation from the entire crowd.
Throughout their energetic performance, the Potters constantly interjected their message about the power of reading and how it empowers you to make wise and informed decisions. In all, it was truly a magical night and if I had a Time-Turner, I would watch it all over again. The Summer Reading and Rocking Tour 2006 dates and merchandising information can be found at Draco and the Malfoys and Harry and the Potters websites.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

That is so cool! I'm completely crazy for Wizard rock! H&tP AND D&tM rock so hard! My fave right now is Alex from The Remus Lupins.
I love how the boys from H&tP go nuts. It's too adorable!
