Draco and the Malfoys, a "Wizard Rock" band out of Rhode Island, is a current musical project designed to advocate reading and literature through rock and roll. Thier album, "Unsorted", consists of 12 tracks each based off the "Harry Potter" series. Made up of two brothers, Brian Ross and Bradley Mehlenbacher, the group performs at bookstores, libraries, and schools and also has made their music accessible on iTunes.
"My Dad is Rich", a song on the album, talks about the rivalry between two characters from the J.K. Rowling series: Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. Though sung in a whiney, teen-like tone, "My Dad is Rich" conveys important plot information from the series. One line of the song, "How's your mommy doing in the Mirror of Erised?", recalls a scene from Rowling's first novel when Potter gazes at his mother's reflection in the magic mirror.
Though the musical quality is not quite up to par, "Draco and the Malfoys" can definitely appeal to fans of the "Harry Potter" series. The tracks lend a catchy tune to the books, giving a unique personality to the plotlines and characters.

About Me
- Alissa
- I'm Alissa. I should have totally lived in the 1940s. Writing is part of who I am, but not the only part. I'm inspired by the city, by its people, and by its glory. I know where I am going, and no one or nothing is going to hinder me. The one thing I desire most, what I strive toward... is a new beginning and a happy ending.
Punchy writing; a quick and informative read. Watch your comma/quotation marks relationship
