Soar on your Firebolt 3000 to a magical place conjured from thin air in downtown Tucson to celebrate the arrival of Harry and the Potters. Join the pioneers of wizard rock for an enchanting evening filled with sorcerously good fun. Apparate to the all-ages event from 5 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, July 19 at Hotel Congress, 311 E. Congress St. Dress in your best wizard robes to the concert that even "You Know Who" wouldn't miss. Hogwarts students don't have to be third-years to visit our Hogsmeade, which will sell butter beer and wizard wares and doling out divinations.
Pima County Public Library (PCPL), Bookmans Entertainment Exchange and Hotel Congress partner to bring back this fun fest. The concert starts at 6 p.m. and admission is free. Wizards and muggles alike can look forward to:
* Bookmans – Presenting a photo booth with costumed characters and themed merchandise
* 9 Queens – Hosting and instructing Wizards Chess
* Katana Games – Leading lessons for video game Quidditch
* Silver Seas – Selling their mystical jewelry
* Seven Cups – Divining the future with tea leaf readings
* University of Arizona Potter Alliance – Providing information on social justice issues
About Harry and the Potters: Imagine if Harry Potter quit the quidditch team and started a punk rock band. Take that one step further and imagine that he stole a time-turner and decided to start that band himself from a different point in time. Brothers Paul and Joe DeGeorge started Harry and the Potters in 2002 and have played over 500 shows in the United States and overseas. For more info visit http://harryandthepotters.com

I would love to study Potions because it's like Chemistry, only cooler!

My favorite subject would have to be Care of Magical Creatures. What would be more fun they playing and taking care of all the different creatures in the Harry Potter World.

I would go with Defense Against the Dark Arts. It seems like that be the most useful if I was ever in a battle against Dark Arts.

The magic plants class - since I love to garden.

My favorite subject would be potions! I am very inclined in chemistry, and I also have a humungo crush on Snape! My favorite potion to make would be Felix Felicis. You can never have too much liquid luck!

My favorite subject at Hogwarts would be Defense Against the Dark Arts. Not only would I get to learn many practical skills (in the case of all professors besides Umbridge) but I would also get to experience a variety of wizards, creatures, and gadgets. I think this course combines so many elements of magic that it would be the most interesting - and since it is practical based, it would be the most fun too! Plus, who doesn't want to find out what their boggart would be??
