HP Fandom unites for Haiti – win our busted old keyboard!
Hey everyone!
We are really excited to be a part of an amazing Harry Potter fandom even happening tomorrow!
Harry Potter fans have joined with members of fandoms from other popular books, movies, and tv series (including Heroes, Lost, True Blood, The Wire and Firefly) to create Helping Haiti Heal, a home-grown effort to contribute to the growing humanitarian aid and charitable relief activities in Haiti.
This Saturday, January 23rd, at 2 P.M. EST, The Harry Potter Alliance’s Potterwatch, PotterCast, MuggleCast, Hogwarts Radio, and FictionAlley will come together for a live fundraising webcast on Livestream to benefit Partners in Health. This four hour live event will feature a donation drive where donors have the opportunity to win prizes (including complete set of signed Harry Potter books anda note from JK Rowling!), live performances from many wizard rockers; leaders in fan communities; personal interviews with Haitian-Americans about the importance of giving to Partners In Health; human rights activists; a representative from MIT’s Media Lab discussing ways that we can donate our time using new media; and much more.
We are excited to be performing as part of this incredible event. We have also contributed to the prizes available to donors! We are donating one of our old busted keyboards!
Be sure to tune in on Saturday to learn more!
Description:
Harry and the Potters’ Badly Used Keyboard
Roland Juno-D model
NON-FUNCTIONAL
Harry Potter Year 4 used this keyboard for nearly every Harry and the Potters show from 7/16/05 to 8/12/06, over 175 shows. It was also used in the recording of Harry and the Potters and the Power of Love. It was replaced after it started detuning mid-song on a very hot day in Dallas, Texas. It does not work (at least properly). It does power up, but won’t output sound. Really smart bidders may be able to fix it though. Does not include a power cable though (that’s long been busted!). We will gladly sign this and provide a certificate of authenticity.
From this picture you can get a sense of how many Juno-D keyboards we’ve used over the years. Ha!
Be sure and tune in Saturday! If you can’t, this auction will be going on until January 31st, so I’ll post more detail later. Did I mention there’s also a complete signed set of the Harry Potter books up for auction! The Mudbloods #1 guitar strap! There is seriously tons of amazing stuff in this auction, so please check it out! More details here!

Hi!
I wanted to tell you boys, that I love your idea of making this project and the courage you have to keep on going with it. Don’t you have a guest book or something? What ever, keep doing, what your doing, Harry Potter fans rule the world! I am from Austria, which is in Europe, next to Germany, so if you could once come to Vienna, that would be so great, I would come to your show and bring a lot of friends!
Thank you for your songs,
I thought I was the only crazy fan in the world,
regards
