Accio Bodyguard Tour May 30, 2008

Back on July 21st, 2007, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final installment in a series that changed the world, was released to the public. On July 22nd, 2007, Harry Potter fans everywhere shut the book for the last time, ready to go out into the world and get as involved as they could in the Harry Potter fandom. When the series ended, excited readers found a reason to get out of their houses and go to meetups and events where they could meet other fans and relive the magic all over again.

The girls involved in the Accio Bodyguard Tour are two of these fans in particular who have been heavily involved in the wizard rock movement in the Harry Potter fandom for years, writing and performing music based on events and characters in the series. One is Lauren, a New Jersey native and member of The Moaning Myrtles, one of the first and most successful female wizard rock bands in the genre, earning a total of seven Wizard Rock People's Choice Awards over the past two years. The other is Lena, a music composition major from New York who started her own wizard rock band called The Butterbeer Experience, who claimed Wizrocklopedia.com's Best New Artist Award for 2008.

Wordsmiths Books is ready for a night of wizardly rockin, with themed treats and goodies and, of course, nothing whatsoever mentioning he who shall not be named. Well also be having a costume contest, so come dressed like your favorite character from the Potter-verse and get entered to win prizes while you (w)rock! This free event is for all ages.
