With my Harry Potter obsession, and my growing obsession with wizard rock, it’s rather surprising that I’ve never devoted a whole post to any specific wizard rock bands. 

Harry and the Potters were my introduction to wizard rock (henceforth known as wrock), and they are one of my favorite bands.  They were the only band I had ever heard of, as far as wizard rock goes, and they’re definitely a great place to start. 

One of the things I love about wrock (besides the band names) are the song titles.  Based on the song titles alone, I’d say some of my favorite songs are Hermione Screws Up The Polyjuice Potion, Never Going To The Bathroom Again, Smoochy Smoochy Pukey Pukey, We Save Ron’s Life, Part 8, the Hogwarts Tonsil Hockey Team and the Human Hosepipe. 

Other favorite songs include Bertie Botts, I Am A Wizard, Phoenix Tears, and Harry Potter.  As for my favorite album, I honestly can’t pick because they’re all good, but The Enchanted Ceiling is probably the one I’d start out with. 

They’re pretty creative, because all of the songs are from the perspective of Harry Potter, and they’re all about Harry Potter.  Anything that can inspire a whole genre is pretty awesome in my book.  If all of the different bands can do music in character, there’s no reason why I can’t write a harry potter fanfic. 

Hopefully they’ll come out with something new soon, since I’m always looking for new wrock.  I may have to start taking a look at the multitude of compilation albums.
