Photo Mondays: 2006 Yule Ball

Photo Mondays: 2006 Yule Ball

From now on every Monday I'm going to post a picture (from the 10,000 I've got on my hard drive) of or about the Harry Potter phenomenon: today it's about wizard rock. We have Draco and the Malfoys and a looking-on Whomping Willow, backstage at the 2006 Yule Ball in Cambridge, MA. This was the second night I'd ever met the Malfoys, though the first we ever really talked, and the first time I'd ever met Matt. We both got bad impressions of each other from this night, which in retrospect is ludicrous, because we're close friends. Similarly this is one of those pictures where Brian's doing his "bad boy wizard rocker" face, and I'd soon come to learn what a big fat lie that is, because he ranks among the sweetest and most soft-spoken people I've ever met. (Sorry to ruin the myth for the three people who still believed it, Brian.)
