The last Wizard Rock concert was held in the afternoon on the third day, in one of the ball rooms in the hotel. It featured Riddle TM, the Mudbloods, the Moaning Myrtles, and my favorite band, the Remus Lupins. I only saw the Moaning Myrtles and the Remus Lupins since I was at one of Andrew Slack’s Harry Potter Alliance events.
The Remus Lupins have always been my favorite Wizard Rock band, so I was most looking forward to their performance. As much as I love their CDs, they are even better in concert. I heard all my favorite songs (which I have videos of that aren’t on Youtube yet, I know it’s taking me a while) and some ones that I hadn’t heard before.
Alex Carpenter ended the concert with a most epic event. He took his awesome guitar and poured lighter fluid on it. Then he tried to light it on fire. I thought this was rather ironic given the fire drill we just had that morning. It wouldn’t ignite. He then proceeded to smash it on the stage and then throw the pieces into the audience. My sister got one. I was jealous. One of my friends got one of Toby (the drummer)’s drum sticks, which was also awesome.
I can’t even do it justice in describing it. Here’s a link to it on Youtube. Epic Guitar Smash. Even if you’re not into Harry Potter or Wizard Rock, watch it. It was such an epic ending to the three days of Wizard Rock.
Melissa Anelli said it was the ultimate example of organized chaos.
