Previously, we told you about several screenings of the We Are Wizards documentary taking place over the past few weeks, with one large event due to take place this weekend. This film, which focuses on the Harry Potter fandom, is showing at the Boston Independent Film Festival. As noted before, following the screening of the film on Saturday, April 26, there will be a large event featuring several of the people from the films, including Brad Neely and our own Melissa Anelli, as well as a number of Wizarding Rock bands. Tickets to both the film as well as the separate ticket needed for the music event are now available, with additional information on all of this as follows:
Somerville Theatre: Screen 1, Saturday April 26, 04:00 PM. Tickets availablevia this link. Following the screening of the film, there will be a Wizarding rock concert featuring:
Harry and the Potters
Draco and the Malfoys
The Whomping Willows
The Hungarian Horntails
The show starts at 5:45pm, after the film and a brief Q&A. Tickets for this event are available here.
I’m kind of a late bloomer on the Harry Potter fandom scene, so this was a new and terrific experience.
The documentary is very well done. Josh Koury was very nice to answer a few questions by members of the audience, as well as Melissa and 2 more people, whom, I am sorry to say, I didn’t catch their names.
Joe and Paul were awesome… They’re so funny! Here are a few pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/leccia.laurence/WeAreWizardsScreening
And I got to talk to Melissa for a minute. I wish I could have stayed longer :’(. Again: congrats on the book, Melissa, can’t wait… I forgot to tell John: congratulations on your graduation!
I had a great time yesterday, the documentary was really well put together. No one said John was going to be there! It was great meeting him! I’m really looking forward to the saturday one, which looks like it’s going to be even more awesome. :D
so excited! are you guys buying your separate tickets to see the wrock concert ahead of time, or are you just buying them when you get there?
i preordered my tickets to the documentary, but I didnt preorder for the concert! should I?
The documentary was great. It was so well made and it was such a great summary of our lives in the past couple years. I was SO excited that Melissa and John were there, and I got to meet Melissa which I have waited for for 2 years! I’m so excited for the DVD to come out so I can get it and watch it forever. Some parts had me cracking up, and some parts made my eyes water. It was powerful, emotional, funny, and amazing!! I wish I could make it on Saturday for the huge show with so many people I’ve wanted to meet (like the Whomping Willow!), but it’s ok. I got to meet Melissa and John, and that’s enough for me for now :)
Boy, we’re lucky here in Boston – wizard films, wizard rock, real Quidditch via a quick ride to Vermont, quick drive to Broadway and Equus, JK Rowling at Harvard in June, and Leaky Con in 2009! Not to mention an absolutely gorgeous vacation week weather-wise. Come, dring the Kool-aid, live here, it’s the best!
This sounds great! I’ll definitely be there. Although the site says tickets can only be bought at the Box Office now…I hope they won’t be sold out by the time I get there!
The ticket link isn’t working….help!
