New York Order of the Phoenix

Join us at Books of Wonder for an author event (costumes! Q&A! cake! surprises!), followed by a signing. For more about the book, visit Malfoys.com

Please reserve your spot at Eventbrite to make sure you get in!

The official book description:

With his very first sneer, Draco Malfoy is established as the school bully of the Harry Potter series. But how did Draco become so detestable? What was inherited from his parents, and what is unique to him among the Malfoy clan? And what was he thinking all those times when he picked fights with Harry, Ron, or Hermione?

"Malfoy" analyzes Draco throughout his seven years at Hogwarts, as his role in the series grew in prominence. At the same time, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy have their own stories play out, forever scheming and plotting to advance the family’s interests… even when they’re in conflict with each other.

Bestselling author Irvin Khaytman dives deep into the Malfoys’ deeds to answer the two central questions about Draco that remain after Deathly Hallows: Is he redeemable? And was he redeemed?

The concert will also include a lip sync battle that attendees can participate in!

Pizza will be provided, since sustenance will be needed for a long day of wrocking out!

There will be further updates on the event's website.

Please note that this is going to be part of the wizard rock concert, Wrock the Peacock, but we wanted to bring it to your attention so are posting it as a separate event!

If you want to sign up to participate, please do so at this link. We highly encourage everyone to participate, it'll be a silly good time for all!

Note that since this is part of our weekend-long MalfoyCon celebration of all things Malfoy, you are highly encouraged to make your lip sync performance about the Malfoys!

FAQ
Q: Does the song have to be about Harry Potter?
A: No! The fun is picking a song that's not about HP and making it about HP in unexpected ways!

Q: Do I have to sing? Do I have to dance?
A: Neither! You'll be lip-syncing as the music plays, and it's more about vamping than dancing.

Q: Can we perform in pairs or groups?
A: Absolutely! Group numbers are encouraged, since they tend to be even more entertaining. Though solo numbers are also totally okay. It's up to you!

Q: Is it an actual competition?
A: Not really. We'll declare a winner based on crowd reaction and offer a prize, but it's more about having a good time.

Q: Does the performance have to be about the Malfoys?
A: It does not! Though it might help to be on topic for competitive purposes.

Q: Are costumes required?
A: You should have something indicating who you are in the performance, but it doesn't need to be anything elaborate - a blond wig and Slytherin tie would get the point across!

Q: How long does the performance need to be?
A: Aim for under 4 minutes. It can be much shorter if you want, even two minutes or less, but we don't have time for a lip sync of the ten-minute-long "All Too Well."

Q: Will there be space to change?
A: Yes. There's a bathroom down the hall.

Q: Can I write an original song, pay a professional to record it, choreograph a twelve-person dance medley, sew elaborate costumes for everyone, bring a fog machine, and finish with a Flashdance-style bucket of water?
A: This performance is a blank canvas for you - go nuts!

Q: Can I only come to this, and not the rest of the concert?
A: It's still $20 admission to come to the event, but you can arrive or leave whenever.

If you need help with anything - a costume piece, or narration, or whatever else you've thought up - let us know and we'll help as best we can!
