Voldemort can't stop the rock
Jul. 21st, 2007 11:47 amLast night we were in Harvard Square and fun was had by everyone. The Hungarian Horntails where, as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peaseblossom said, the most punk thing we've seen in years. A bunch of kids wailing on a guitar screaming about Harry Potter stuff and forgetting the words, making up new ones and occasionally each singing different songs.
Draco and the Malfoys were cuter than I expected singing about evil. The boy rather liked them (and he dances pretty cool). They had a fun stage presence.
Harry and the Potters were probably the dullest act. Quite frankly they aren't very good and are more in the position they are in Wizard Rock more because they were first than any other reason. But heh, it is pretty cool to be able to tour libraries and small clubs to sing songs about books you love. And the kids sang along with all their songs.
It was amazing thinking that all the high school and college kids there have grown up with these books. The first book came out 10 years ago, when most of these kids where 10 or less. And aspeaseblossom said this generation may be so ironic they have no sense of irony. So there were some weird moments, like the guy from the Harry Potter Alliance.
Also, I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was, on how harry potter love has translated into school-girl fetish wear.
We left around 9:45, the starchild was not capable of making it any longer. This morning we headed out and bought the book andpeaseblossom is reading it. We also stopped by the lego store so the boy could exchange a duplicate from his birthday and he and his sister are downstairs building. Not sure what we'll do the rest of the day.
