The Whomping Willows are a Wizard Rock act, and *they* are one guy, named Matt ;O)
He writes and performs songs from the perspective of the Whomping Willow - sounds 
crazy, but he's a great songwriter, and the show last night was fun. 

Here's their MySpace page, where you can hear entire songs, view pix, etc:

You can find them on iTunes, along with many other Wizard Rock bands.

Subject: The Portal - JIM DALE IS PRESENTING AT PORTUS!
Message-ID: <561bdbfa0803091019o76cd386buf0d5dd5b1820acf3@...>

The Portus staff has had their lips sealed for the last few months (a
very hard thing to do!), but we can no longer keep quiet. It is with
the utmost pleasure and greatest honor that we divulge our most
guarded secret?

Jim Dale, the voice of Harry Potter, will be joining us this July at
Portus in Dallas, Texas! We're more excited than a gaggle of
Leprechauns at the Quidditch World Cup!

To celebrate, we are offering a special springtime registration
discount for Jim Dale fans. Register by March 15th and use the special
promotional code WELUVJIM, and you will receive a regular Portus
registration for $180. That's a $40 savings! Imagine all the extras
you can add on to your registration with savings like that.*

For Immediate Release (July 31, 2008)
HP Education Fanon, Inc. (HPEF <http://www.hpef.net/> ) proudly
announces Azkatraz! <http://www.hp2009.org/>

The event formerly known as "Level Two" has undergone an extreme
makeover and is now Azkatraz. New city; new dates; new ideas; new team:
One incredible event!

Azkatraz <http://www.hp2009.org/>  will be held July 18-21, 2009, in San
Francisco, California. Details including hotel, registration rates, and
schedule to follow.
The team of organizers brings together our twin populations of academics
and fans in perhaps our most exciting matchup yet. Formal Programming is
headed by Emma Grant, NQ Donne, and Flourish, who among them have years
of fandom experience, academic credentials, and writing credit. Our
theme, "The Choice Between What is Right and What is Easy," brings the
backdrop of Alcatraz / Azkaban to the forefront of the real issues of
social justice, gender equality, tolerance, and due process, as they are
reflected in the Harry Potter books and the larger contexts of fandom
and the world around us. There will also be programming focused on the
analysis and integration to canon of the forthcoming "Tales of Beedle
the Bard" collections from Scholastic, Bloomsbury, and Amazon.
New to the 2009 HPEF symposium will be a one-day MPA program ?
"Master of Potter Administration" ? which will focus on the ways in
which Harry Potter has impacted business and industry, including
marketing, online ordering, special effects, and more. The track will
run alongside our regular programming, but will feature breakfast, a
special luncheon speaker, and a brief networking reception at the end of
the day. As with all our educational programming, HPEF will endeavor to
make continuing education credit or certification available to anyone
who attends.
Our Informal Programming plans, as implemented by Lauren Johnson, Jodie
Baird, and their excellent team, promise to provide endlessly diverting
ways to understand and interpret Harry Potter's world and the world of
fandom. Proposed events include a History of Wizarding Fashion Show, a
ghost tour and Death Eaters' reception on Alcatraz (no Dark Mark
required!), a pre-event Mixer/Mingler on Friday night before our
official start, the return of the highly successful Fandom Swap Meet,
Common Room programming, and a special concert to "Wrock the Rock".
Also returning next year will be our continued Young Adult Authors'
Readings series, Quidditch, the Ball, Podcasts, the Art Gallery and
auction, cosplay, Cinema Alley, "Diagon" Alley and of course, the chance
to see and hang out with all your fan friends.
We still have many staff positions available, including everything from
Decorations to Registration to Common Room. All positions are volunteer
only, with modest perks. For more information or to volunteer, please
join our Yahoo Group <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/azkatraz_volunteers>
or our Live Journal <http://community.livejournal.com/kickin_azkatraz> .
You can also see our MySpace <www.myspace.com> , Facebook
<www.facebook.com> , InsaneJournal
<http://asylums.insanejournal.com/azkatraz/> , and Journalfen
<http://www.journalfen.net/community/azkatraz/>  accounts, and view the
