Dumbledore Dead!

Professor Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, passed away last week. It was only a week ago that the Dark Mark was hanging in the sky over Hogwarts, the blazing green skull with a serpent tongue hovering directly over the Astronomy Tower.

Weird Sisters Concert in Honor of Dumbledore

"Ah, music! A magic beyond all we do here!", one of the many pearls of wisdom that the late Albus Dumbledore gave us. It is only fitting that some of Dumbledore's own fans would gather to pay tribute to him musically. The Weird Sisters, fresh off their "Hoaxes Pocus" tour, did just that last Saturday night to a small crowd in Fallsbrough Park just outside Woodrow.
