BRANDON GARNER is a HALF-BLOOD in SLYTHERIN and he is in his SIXTH YEAR at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is portrayed by ELLIOT FLETCHER and is OPEN.

Brandon’s home life is quite standard. His mother is a simple woman, owns a bookstore in town, while his father is a well-known Potioneer. Living in both worlds he sees the good in both and wouldn’t be against the two worlds merging. Being able to create potions for muggle everyday problems could be a promising field. His parents were very open about both their lives and it’s that openness that had Brandon curious about everything around him. During his third year his mother announced that she was having a baby and nine months later, Stephanie Garner was brought into the world.

Since then everyone in the household has been doting over her and Brandon isn’t afraid to admit he brought in photos of her to school to show off. Most of his time is spent bettering himself but he does put aside time to practice for Quidditch. He holds his Prefect position close to the chest and is very proud of his accomplishments. Obviously, Brandon excels in Potions and hopes to one day follow in his father’s footsteps. He has small quirks others find strange but Brandon is a firm believer in routines. If that means that he has to first lay out all his study materials neatly then fuss it all up before actually studying, then he’ll do it. Staying level-headed, he’s able to diffuse a situation and resolve the problem at hand. Many wonder how someone could be so calm all the time. His motivations can seem strange but he finds himself best when he’s in the center of a problem or conflict.

Full disclosure: I won this particular edition of Wheel of Karaoke... and I had a sublime time doing so. I intended to just hang out, hearing a buzz for the show since it was launched in August 2014 (originated in the Bay by Krista Fatka and Jonah Th'Mole before landing at the Make Out Room (and beyond))***. I'm for singing in public, but it's not my moon and stars. It's more like my comet, fun every once in a while. I was ill prepared even as a spectator. Wheel of Karaoke is a hybrid game-variety-comedy show that, in all its silliness, takes itself seriously. I assumed I'd enjoy myself and the night exceeded expectations. In a way, it was the perfect way to experience people singing at a bar. Karaoke is intimidating in the City: so many lifers who actually know their key range, know their favorite KJ by their non-KJ name, have their standards on slips before they even order their first Dark and Stormy. Then there are birthday parties—or large groups of people in general—that inevitably become roadblocks of whooping obnoxiousness. Or it's a dead night and you end up having to make friends with an old dude with a B+ Frank Sinatra. In other words, the social element is very overwhelming if, like me, you're an introvert that's just trying to get their "Train In Vain" on.
