Take that, Lord Voldemort!!!
You know what rocks? Libraries.
Know what else rocks? Punk rock.
Know what else rocks? Teenagers who have the guts, foresight, and
intelligence to put together a project like Harry and the Potters, the
only band in the world whose recorded output is dedicated to J.K.
Rowling's massively popular franchise. These guys tour libraries
nationwide playing punk rock songs about the students, teachers, and
creatures of Hogwarts, and have a rabid following you would not
believe.
Yesterday, Harry and the Potters and (with special permission from
Lord Voldemort) their rival band Draco and the Malfoys (boooooo!),
played the Donnell Library Center's main auditorium. What impressed me
most was the fact that the auditorium was packed and overflowing with
supposedly jaded Manhattan teenagers who sang along heartily with
every single word of every single song. That rocks.
