Harry and the Potters
Potter Was a Rolling Stone: The Hogwarts School of Rock, by Rachel Deahl. The Book Standard, May 27, 2005.

"Paul DeGeorge would never describe himself as an obsessed Harry Potter fan. Paul, [25], who works as a scientist for a vaccine manufacturer, moonlights as a Potter-styled rock star in his band, Harry and the Potters. The group--in which Paul plays guitar [as Harry Year 7] and his 17-year-old brother Joe plays keyboard [as Harry Year 5] (they both sing)--has played shows around the country and released two albums' worth of songs inspired by J.K. Rowling's bestselling series. ... The band has performed in over 30 libraries around the country, with plans to hit a few more on its upcoming summer tour. While the band provides a welcome, if somewhat raucous, presence at these shows, Paul says the unique venue offers young kids the rare chance to see live rock 'n' roll. ... Harry and the Potters is currently gearing up for its show at the Randhurst Mall in Mount Prospect, Ill., where a crowd of some 30,000 is expected to be on hand to celebrate the July 16 midnight release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."
