Harry and the Potters, a nationally-known rock band from Boston that sings family-friendly original songs about the characters and plot-lines of the Harry Potter books, will be appearing on Wednesday, August 16 at Lakewood Park. The opening act will be Draco and the Malfoys, another rock band inspired by the J.K. Rowling books.

This event, dubbed “Magic in the Wood,” is being made possible by the cooperation of many different civic organizations and individuals as a gift to the children and families of Lakewood. It was first conceived by Lakewood Public Library, The Lakewood Observer and Lakewood resident Shannon Strachan, a Lakewood Public Library Foundation trustee who is also affiliated with Lakewood Alive and the Junior Women’s Club, and Cox Communications.

The city came onboard by offering this event to be held on stage at Lakewood Park. The Lakewood Jaycees have also pledged support in the form of volunteers and a donation of glow necklaces, which will be available at the event. Lakewood Early Childhood PTA will be sponsoring some of the prizes for the costume contest; middle-school and high-school volunteers from H2O (Help to Others) will be doing face painting; and Borders will be selling Harry Potter books and other related merchandise.

The music will begin at 6:00 pm and last for approximately 2 hours, but that’s just part of the event. Families are encouraged to come early and have a picnic in the park before the show. There will be a costume contest. Prizes will be raffled off to children and teens who register their costumes with the library in four different age groups: birth to 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 13, and 14-18. A family trivia contest is also planned.
