Puppets of Harry Potter and the Land of Oz

The following puppets appeared in a puppet show billed as Professor Cooper's Defence Against the Dark Arts Puppet Show, secretly entitled Harry Potter and the Land of Oz. In 2005, I gave three performances at a mall in Ann Arbor, Michigan as part of a bookshop's release party for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In 2007, I gave three more performances in Toledo, Ohio as part of another bookshop's release party for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with one new puppet added. At this time I do not have any photographs of either date, but I hope these suffice for now. In the future I shall post photographs of the stage that was used, and possibly some "dramatic reenactments."
