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.
