    Assault & Flattery presents

    To celebrate our diamond anniversary, A&F is bringing you our take on the revered classic, the story of Harry Potter. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Peregrinus, Harry and his motley crew of nerdy magic law students fight against the Slythegreens to secure the most desirable jobs that The Magic University of Texas Magic School of Magic Law can offer. Unfortunately, coming to the Slythegreens' aid is none other than Snemily Snadens, Voldemort's ally and the gatekeeper to the highly-sought-after judicial clerkships that all the magic law students sooooo covet. Only after watching the show will you discover who ultimately prevails in the job search! ...And also, who wouldn't want to see Assault & Flattery ruin another one of your favorite stories?
