Music To Get Lost To

by Jenna St. Hilaire on February 11, 2010

All right, all you Lost fans. I admit to getting so creeped out by the episode where Locke “meets” Jacob with Ben that I never saw another, even though—or perhaps because—that was only the fourth or fifth episode I’d ever seen. As your resident wizard rocker, though, I have to apprise you of a fantastic new trend: Lost-themed bands.

Around the Common Room

by Travis Prinzi on July 14, 2009

Check back often today; it’s going to be really busy here at The Hog’s Head! Frequent posts for this day-before-the-movie, including interesting news and the stunning conclusion to our Half-Blood Prince Read-Through!

  • Are you on Twitter? Participate today and tomorrow in the Dumbledore Twitter Challenge, by The Harry Potter Alliance (and don’t forget to follow @thehogshead!); More thoughts on this later in the day if I have time.
  • Lev Grossman writes about Wizard Rock for TIME. A very good article.
  • A new article on Gambon’s Dumbledore, with interview quotes. Fair warning: there’s lots in here for us anti-Gambon folks to get good and worked up about. If he says, “I play myself” one more time, I’m going to call him up and ask him why he chose acting as a career.
  • Spoiler Warning if you click this link: Janet Batchler got to an early screening of Half-Blood Prince and has written her review.
  • Reminder to Rochesterians that I’m at the Brighton Library tonight at 7pm, and I hope to see you at Tinseltown for the midnight showing of Half-Blood Prince!
  • And yes, I’ll be writing my review at 3am when I get back from the film.

Wizard Rocking with Draco and the Malfoys

by Behold a Phoenix on June 13, 2008

Last night I made my way to the Sidewalk Cafe on Avenue A and 6th in Manhattan to see Draco and the Malfoys perform. Before they went on stage, we were treated to performances by Swish & Flick, Justin Finch-Fletchley of the Sugar Quills, and Whompy from the Whomping Willows. It was something to see a small, but devoted group of fans singing to these group’s songs, including Melissa Anelli of The Leaky Cauldron. Harry Potter was very much alive in that diminuitive showroom in the cafe. When Draco and the Malfoys took the stage, you could feel the excitement and energy. I’ve seen them perform last year at the Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden along with Harry and the Potters, and they are awesome. Starting off with “Party Like You’re Evil” and even singing some exclusive songs from their new album, Draco and the Malfoys capped off a great night of Wizard Rock.

You can check their upcoming schedule on their official website or Myspace profile.
