Wizard Rock

Has anyone heard of this band? I just found out about them a few months ago and they are AWESOME! You can hear some of their songs here (http://www.myspace.com/harryandthepotters).

I like 'The Human Hosepipe' best.

"And maybe you shouldn't have brought up Cedric Diggory because I'd rather not talk about your dead ex-boyfriends over coffee."

Oh I love them! Oh and by the way kiwikiss I think your picture is too big, it'll probably get deleted by a mod if you don't change it or make it smaller. :)

I love Harry and the Potters! They're on my myspace friends list...haha. My username somewhere else is actually "Wrath of Hermione", named after one of their songs. The song itself is really annoying...but in a good way!

Voldemort can't stop the rock.

Oh I love the Wrath of Hermione! It was stuck in my head for days though, which was a bit annoying.

Oh trust me, I've had "The Wrath of Hermione" stuck in my head for days too. On their website, beside the link to the song it says "Good for repeating on long car rides"...that would be enough to kill me...

Here's a link (http://www.eskimolabs.com/hp) to their site, in case you're interested.

I have been known to randomly sing "My Teacher Is A Werewolf" and "Gryffindor Rocks". Just 'cause.

And yeah, I've been goofing on my pics lately...so I decided to get a really tiny one! hehe

They're alright musically - not brilliant, but we can't expect great things from a spoof band. By the way, this thread belongs in the Quidditch Pitch or somewhere else. It doesn't live here :).

There pretty good. I wish one of my local music stores would pick up one of their cds. But thats never going to happen.

I think Im gonna cover Human Hosepipe at my schools coffeehouse

Draco Malfoy, what's your problem?!

I've only heard a few of their songs. They're amusing to listen to, but I don't exactly like them.

i love them i discovered them through pottercast and got their 2 cds a couple of weeks ago and have been blasting them. they're catchy even if sometimes they don't rhyme. i want to see them live but unfortunately i'm a long way from boston. their best song is the Godfather part2 everytime i here it i get emo about sirius it captures the essence of harry's feeling about sirius perfectly.
i also love human hosepipe, gryffindor rocks, firebolt, fourth triwizard champion(stuck in my head all the time), the weapon, these days are dark, and the dumbledore won't talk to me anymore song

has anyone seen them live and if so what is their live show like?

i only just heard them the other day. i think there funny. i wouldn't say that there brilliant but there songs are amusing! 'omg u look like a frog, umbridge you're going down!' lol

They suck, but they're hilarious! The pointlessness of "The Weasel" never fails to crack me up.

I want to go to one of their shows quite badly.

They suck, but they're hilarious! That's half the fun! They're definitely not genuises music-wise...but that so doesn't matter. They came around my city once...but I couldn't go...it was so depressing...

??????What???????

*confuzzled at topic*

Musically, they're not that good (I'm not trying to be mean, and I think most people would agree), but I still love 'em!! Their songs are catchy nevertheless, and their lyrics are pretty witty. I saw them in concert this past summer, and let me just say that they are EXCELLENT performers! They're always engaging the audience in, and it's just nonstop fun.

Slytherinborn and ILoveDaniel: Harry and the Potters is a "spoof band", if you will. They're two brothers who write / sing / play music that they write that's about the events in HP. Their site: www.eskimolabs.com/hp.

Funny, but not exactly easy on the ears!

I love them, they're hilarious. They're songs are so catchy too. Was going to go to their concert when they came to Vancouver, but couldn't. I was so disappointed.

They are good!

Never heard of them . . . but thanks for the link! :lol:

I love Harry and the Potters. I wanna join the band! (I'm such a loser)

no really, me too. I have like all their songs. They play in my area and my friends and i are hosting a benefit concert at our school, so we called them and asked them to play. They never called us back though...
my favorite song by them is 'The Human Hosepipe', referring to Harry's date with Cho.
A sample of their lyrics-
Cho Chang what have I done?
I don't care where you and Cedric were snogging
Cho Chang what have I done?
I just want to replay this Valentines Day.

Download it, its possibly the funniest thing EVER.

I LOVE that song!! :rotfl: And "Save Ginny Weasley". (http://www.myspace.com/harryandthepotters)It's great!! I wish they would come over to England, I would love to see them live!! :lol:

i think that these are really kool i also think that they have no life to make up these songs .lol. but i do think that they are pretty funny.

"Save Ginny Weasley" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yeah I get to go see them next Thursday in my hometown.......its gonna ruleHARRY AND THE POTTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (http://www.myspace.com/hurkerandtheflood)

You people buy into anything as long as the name 'Harry Potter' is slapped on it.

Words cannot express how god awful this band is.

Different people have different tastes remember. They might not be the best musically, but they're fun and have catchy songs.

Anyways, my friend got their cds and is really enjoying them.

You people buy into anything as long as the name 'Harry Potter' is slapped on it.

Words cannot express how god awful this band is.

I kind of agree...a lot of people won't hear a bad word said about the films simply because it's about HP.
Then again, I think H and the Ps are just a bit of fun, and if people wanna buy into I guess that's their deal. Not my sort of thing, but a good laugh none the less. :)

Harry and the Potters actually played at my university last night!

Naturally, I went to the show instead of doing my French homework. It was completely worth it. Not only was their set awesome, but they gave us cookies and Shark Bites. :lol:

And if I were nicer, I might be able to resist the urge to brag, but... TOTALLY MET THE BAND AFTERWARDS AND IT WAS AWESOME HAHA! :D

oh, come on - it's just a bit of fun!! And you know, they may not be the most musically talented people ever, but they're really not that bad!! :lol:

Eat_ Slugs: :wow: Not fair, I want to see them, too!! :rotfl:

They're cool. I mean, it's not meant to be taken seriously. What's wrong with some light-hearted humour in music?

I'm really endeared by 'Dumbledore's Army'. It's cutesie.

I agree with this, but H&TP being a good laugh still doesn't keep me from being appalled that a band like this can become this well-known and publicized while dedicated, passionate, and original musicians from many wide genres of music very often go unnoticed in the mainstream.

Don't get me wrong, if you find this sort of thing fun then by all means... it just seems so twisted.

Haha, my thoughts exactly. I mean, it's kinda amusing and everything, listening to the lyrics. But musically, well they're pretty much horrible. He can't sing, and there's no melody. The **** people listen to these days. :no:

Yeah, and that's MY opinion, and I'm entitled to it.

But they're only well know by fans of Harry Potter, it's not as if many people that don't like Harry Potter like them or something.

I've never really seen why people get so worked up about something like this, people like what they like, who really cares?

Eat Slugs- Cool, must have been fun. Glad you had a good time. :tu:

Eat Slugs, I'm jealous! Those guys seem so awesome, like I really want to give them a hug. haha

But yeah, Harry and the Potters, their songs are darn catchy. I always have a incling to listen to Wrath of Hermione on repeat. I also love the Missing Arm of Viktor Krum. Those two are my favorite.

I heard them for the first time a while back. I think they are great. I love the fact that they are ordinary guys who wanted to something different. I don't understand why people are saying that they are no good? This is what I see...two guys who are big Potter fans and wanted to share there ideas with us. There is no need to be negative. We should be happy for them because they have the courage to stand in front of people and sing for them.

I understand that people have different opinions but lets not be rude about it.

I went to see them live last night, and it was so funny! They really aren't the most talented lyricists I've ever heard, but come on they are a lot of fun! The younger one made me laugh he was quite neurotic. My best friend and I bought 2 of their cd's and listened to them on the way home-many of them are just catchy and funny. Oh and we bought t-shirts, because they were cute! Mine says Save Ginny and has a stick Ginny and basilisk, and hers has Hedwig and says Harry and the Potters. We met them too, very nice guys! We got pictures, but haven't had them developed yet. They are worth checking out, if you don't take life too seriously and expect them to be musical geniuses!

I would hardly say they are "mainstream" as I had never heard of them before they put fliers around my school to promote their show. They seem to travel only in a small area around their hometown, it's not as if they are very popular all over the place. And well, they have a catch. Its not like they will be winning music awards any time soon. But there are a lot of passionate and original musicians and only one Harry Potter band, so that sort of thing is bound to happen.

:lol: I cant believe you met them!
Ive only heared "voldemort cant stop the rock"
Its funny for a little bit, but then it sticks in your head and its really annoying.

EDIT: Ive just heared wizard chess :lol: These guys are geniuses!

I think they're terrible. I'm one of the few Harry Potter fans who doesn't like them. I'm not saying this about all of you, but i'm sure a lot of people only like them because they only sing about Harry Potter, when you get past the novelty, their songs are really bad.

No I've never heard of them.

Yay.
Finally someone who enjoys Wizard Rock.
:]

I personally love Harry and the Potters.
There are so many great bands.
If you go to this page:
Dobby and the House Elves (<table width=350 align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2><tr><td align=center><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" style='font-size: 14pt;'><strong>You Are 17 Years Old</strong></font></td></tr><tr><td><center><img src="http://images.blogthings.com/whatagequiz/cake.jpg" height="100" width="100"></center>);
and scroll down, you'll see a whole bunch of Wizard Rock bands.

I LOVE Harry and the Potters. I found out about them right before their second CD came out. And I went to see them play. They're just so much fun! Their lyrics are hilarious and they have really great personalities. I love having such entertaining music! They're great! :D

When people say they're 'geniuses' they mean the lyrics, not the music! Maybe somebody can remake the songs someday... in any case, it's such a cute idea!

I haven't heard that much of their work. Musically they're not so great, but spoof bands rarely are. They're are funny, though.

I've heard of them before, but I just listened to them on myspace. "Human Hosepipe" cracked me up!:lol: I added them to my friends list. The music is terrible, but the lyrics are so funny, I'm still laughing.

They totally suck in a good way. It's cheesy and funny and it's pretty good but they shouldn't audition for american idol.

Have never heard one of their songs, or if I did had no idea it was them :)

To be honest I really don't like the music. It's not that I don't like the subject matter, I just think that their music is really bad. The singer is hopeless and I don't like the guitarist either.

oh god i love them! i was addicted to them once.

"we must save ginny weasley form the basilisk! we must save the school from the unseen horror!"

"oh oh uh-oh-oh, we'll spend our christmas playing wizard's chess!"

heehee!!! and i actually felt REALLY SAD when i heard the godfather part 2? or 3? SO SAD!!!! cry!
"come back now, come back now, come back from beyond the veil! come back now! come back now! com back now! i know you're the-e-e-e-ere..."

i memorize a lot of their songs, such as the one about the krum figurine ron bought.
"...you should know that dismembering figurines of your enemies wont help you impress hermione, she's not interested in mutilated toys..." HAHAHA!

Yeah, its funny, but..

To be honest I really don't like the music. It's not that I don't like the subject matter, I just think that their music is really bad. The singer is hopeless and I don't like the guitarist either.
yeah thats what i think also...the music just dosent fit together well..some songs are better than others, but overall...meh

The lyrics is great, but the music is not very Harry Potter-ish, because it reminds me of american country music.
But the lyrics is really, really great.
If only Franz Ferdinand would use this lyrics...I know I'd be happy

I think they're fine if they're taken in the spirit in which they are probably meant to be taken! I think their lyrics are hilarious - the singing isn't exactly great, but for a spoof band, I quite like them! I love Human Hosepipe!!:lol:

Being so close to Boston, I am determined to go to their show later this month at the Middle East. I really wanted to go to the "Yule Ball" concert they had, but it was just not meant to be.

There is an interview of them on YouTube.com, it's freakin hilarious. I wouldnt listen to their music but to make a HP they must be hardcore fans.

So Wizaed Rock, we've probably know of it even if we haven't heard it, THe Remus Lupins; Harry and the Potters; The HErmione Crookshanks Expierience etc etc etc... Anyone a fan? Anyone a hater? if you haven't heard it you can on My Space music. I have to admit that my favorite and only band on my IPOD is The Remus Lupins. I even bought his CD cause it was so good! I am so in love with Loosen your Tie and Looking for Trouble and while at firsti hated it now i find myself singing Accio Love at work!:clap:

Yes they are quite good... but at the first time it shocked me, you know it sounded strange that there are crazy people running around and singing e.g. Let's Save Ginny Weasly. :lol:

I know! When i first heard of it i was like "oh really? that's nice..." but i had no other opinions on it. It was like fanfic or fanart, something that was bound to happen... fanmusic! Now I love looking to see who else is around, i don't think i've listened to the draco malfoy one... i can't remember the exact name...

But its still a whole lot of fun!

"Stocking up on love potions
thats just fine if you know how to dance
(dance dance)"

It's funny I think. I have to say though, Harry and the Potters aren't too bad actually music wise. I'm actually not too surprised someone would think of singing about Harry Potter. I don't think they will hit platinum or anything, but it's alright

I've heard a tiny bit of it now, and it's pretty fun. Listening to Draco and the Malfoys right now, and the lyrics they have are pretty clever; I guess being on "that side of the fence" allows you to add a bit of extra spice to the texts.

Harry and the Potters' Song for the Death Eaters is also really good, the lyrics are a bit cheesy, but cheesy in an amount that it tips over into the "sing-a-long-cheesy"! Love the organ in that song, btw.

I think The Remus Lupins has the most finely polished songs of those I've heard so far, but the difficulty in finding easily downloadable MP3s gives me a light impression of arrogance. (For anyone who wants to know where I eventually found them, download the broken_wand.xspf (http://theremuslupins.com/broken_wand.xspf) file and open in your favourite text editor.)

All in all, a bit rough, but compensates in enthusiasm ;)

Rather amusing to listen to it. I listen to it when I'm in a goofy type mood.

It's really funny! I have a Harry and the Potters album, and I love listening to it...most of the songs are just really amusing because they're so bad in musical terms, but there are a few which are surprisingly good, and which actually get stuck in my head, and which are great to bop along to, and everything. :lol:

The best is listening to this music while reading these forums...Harry Potter overload! :rotfl:

The best is listening to this music while reading these forums...Harry Potter overload! :rotfl:

What are you talking about? There is no such thing as a harry potter overload. If anything there isn't enough Harry Potter out there!:D

I love TheRemusLupins, Harry and the Potters, and Draco and the Malfoys. I really like the song by HatP, Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock. I don't know, I guess the tunes are catchy.

I love Harry and the Potters and The Remus Lupins. I love the song "Save Ginny Weasley". that is a awesome song!
LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER!

I'm listening to Harry and the Potters right now! Their new cd is so good. I love Flesh, Blood and Bone and Phoenix Song the best. I wish I could see them in concert, but they've never played anywhere near where I live. The Remus Lupins are so good too.

Long live the wizard rock!!!

I love it!
Me and my friends are going to try and go see Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoys when they come here in August. That's going to be fun!.

My favorite would have to be The Remus Lupins. "Loosen Your Tie" is my profile song on Myspace.

It's not fair that I haven't seen Harry and the Potters in concert yet. :(

No offense, but I think that is the work of over obsessive HP fans.

No offense, but I think that is the work of over obsessive HP fans.
Harry and the Potters are two great guys trying to promote reading by rocking out and I don't see that as being over obsessive.

I think the stuff is really funny. I've heard Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoys. From what I heard, my favorite is "human hosepipe."

At least from the songs I've heard (1 or 2 from each of these groups):
Effort = good
Promoting Reading = the attempt is good, but I seriously doubt there are many people who are big fans of these groups that haven't read the books already, so the attempt is moot
Entertaining Lyrics = hit or miss, sometimes funny, sometimes extremely generic
Musicianship = bad
Singing = hit or miss again, more like "passable" or miss

I'm pretty picky and critical about music though, comes from having two music teachers in the family.

You should try to listen to Harry and the Potters newest cd. There is a vast improvement from their first. I just think their music is so fun and it always makes me smile. As for promoting reading they play in librarys most of the time as to draw kids in there.

I really like their music. I don't think they'll ever make the top of the charts, and I think you'd probably have to be a true HP Fanatic to really appreciate them. But I like them. They really make me laugh.

As for being an over obsessive Potter Fan. Is there even such a thing? We're not obsessed, we're potterphiles! Muggles just don't understand.

Oh i've listened to Harry and The Potters and they are actually really good! I found them on myspace and next time they are in town i'm going to try and see them

hehe yea true muggles just will just never understand

Haha, yeah, I know!Promoting Reading = the attempt is good, but I seriously doubt there are many people who are big fans of these groups that haven't read the books already, so the attempt is mootAs Muahahaha pointed out, Harry and the Potters make a point of playing at libraries, and in places like New York City, a free concert at a library can be a draw for kids who may not ordinarily spend alot of time there. There is alot of effort nowadays to get kids into libraries. I'm a member of a teen library board, and we are hoping to have Harry and the Potters come and play sometime this fall or winter. I hope they will, that would be sooo awesome! :clap:

Speaking of H and the P's, I just wanted to point out my favorite song of theirs: "These Days are Dark" is so good, compared with their some of their other stuff. It's fun to sing along to, even if it does get a bit long and repetitive at the end. "The Weapon" is my second favorite, even though it's corny. I also like "Draco Malfoy" (great rythym!) and "Dumbledore's Army." :D

I fully understand the attraction to HP-related music, I've tried searching for songs online that related to the books in some way. I am a great music-lover in general, and an even greater HP fan.

When I heard about this band on Mugglecast (apparently they're playing at Lumos) I went to look for them online, figuring they must be good to be booked for such a big event. How wrong I was. I think they only got the gig because of their name, to be honest.

They're terrible!

The lyrics are repetetive, uninteresting and annoying (especially that "oh my god you look like a frog", it's been stuck in my head ever since the one and only time I listened to their songs over a month ago). I'm tone-deaf, can't hold a note to save my life, and I'm pretty sure I could sing better than them. The music makes my ears hurt. The combination of all three makes my skin crawl and makes me want to retch.

I understand the desire to listen to HP-related music, but it would be nice if this "band" learned to use their instruments, bought a rhyming dictionary, and found someone who could sing to join their group, before subjecting us to this horror.

I love Harry and the Potters...their songs are so funny! I sent a letter to them a year or so ago and they sent back a letter and thisweird handmade cloth thing with their symbol on it. I also bought their cds and a shirt!(lol)

I really like them. They make me laugh so much. And yeah its probably true that i wouldn't look twice if they weren't singing about HP, but what does that matter. I'm not lying when I say I like them even if i do only like them cause of HP. They aren't amazing musicians, but they seriously aren't that bad. They look like a couple of guys who just wanted to have fun with Harry Potter. Is that such a crime? I really don't think, even they, take themselves that seriously. They're fun to listen to. That's the point really.

They are my favourite band to listen to. When I put one of their cds on I just can't stay upset or angry.

Its so funny that this band exists. Not really my type of music though. But thankz for giving me a good laugh at 2 in the morning lol.

Me and my friends are going to try and go see them when they come to town.
I'm excited.

People,
There is a band called Harry and The Potters.
It is sooooo cute, and i think everyone needs to listen and tell JK Rowling about them, they r funny.

LISTEN HERE :
http://www.myspace.com/harryandthepotters

come on guyz!!!!!!!!!

:nc:




They are intresting. . . . lets just say that

well, they aren't great,
but whatever,
just thought it would make a laugh D:

There's just something you have to love about a band, thats about Harry Potter!! :lol:

thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's awesome!

The thing is, I don't think they're half bad, I'd buy their CD.

i agree !

they r good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think they're so funny....i bought their cd and shirt a year or so ago and I sent them a fan letter and they sent back one with this weird thing they made for me

Does anyone know if you can download their music? Say, on LimeWire?

I absolutely love "Harry and the Potters" there songs are really good.I pecially like "i got the firebolt" and if anyone wants to download their songs limewire's the best option.

Does anyone know if you can download their music? Say, on LimeWire?

You should give them your support by actually buying their music. They could use it!

Ok so i will post it here but i must say that this isn't Wizard rock it is Wizard metal there is a clear difference :D ... So anyway


I was looking through norwegian metal bands on Encyclopedia Metallum( i was a bit bored ) and i found a band called Voldemort!
I was thinking that this couldn't be an coincidence so i looked at the band and the members names confirmed that this is no coincidence:
Lord Dolohov Mulciber-Vocals
Count Draco Horcrux-Guitar
Lady Lysandra-Bass, Backing vocals
Muggleslayer( )-Drums
and the band comes from Durmstrang, Norway

Genre is listed as Heavy/Black/Thrash metal so if you don't like bm already i advice you not to listen to them because i'm guessing that their lyrics might be a bit shocking .
I just thought of informing all of you that there is wizard metal in the world !

edit: they have 4 songs on myspace: At The Graveyard, Mayhem At The Ministry, Dementor and Slaying Trevor. They sound sort of like Mercyful Fate/King Diamond so its really not my cup of tea but the lyrics make it alright (but still the lyrics are bm:ish so be careful)

LMBO!!!!

This really is a funny thread! *rolls around on floor laughing!*

Harry and the Potters were giving away free Harry and the Potters toothbrushes to people who came to their shows with a book report on one of the books they list on their website. How is that not promoting literacy? They are the two coolest guys. I'd love to meet them.

As Muahahaha pointed out, Harry and the Potters make a point of playing at libraries, and in places like New York City, a free concert at a library can be a draw for kids who may not ordinarily spend alot of time there. There is alot of effort nowadays to get kids into libraries. I'm a member of a teen library board, and we are hoping to have Harry and the Potters come and play sometime this fall or winter. I hope they will, that would be sooo awesome! :clap:


So basically that'll draw in anyone who already loves going to the library, or goes to any concert even if it's at a library and they've never heard of the band. :lol: Although considering my friends I suppose there really are tons of people out there who will go to ANY concert nearby no matter what

I read some of Harry and the Potter's lyrics from their newer CD, and they do seem a lot better, though the lyrics weren't really "bad" to begin with.

I love wizard rock! I have two Harry and the Potter albums and a Draco and the Malfoys album. I'll admit, they are definately not great musically and if they weren't singing about Harry Potter I wouldn't like them at all but the lyrics make up for it! :D The lyrics are hilarious.

I need to hear some more wizard rock groups. :D

There's more of their songs at www.myspace.com/ineedmoreharryandthepotters. I love Stick it to Dolores

I want to buy the CDs, but I can only afford one. Which one would you reccomend?

I've only heard some of Harry and the Potters songs. Can someone send me some links to any other band's music? You can listen the Harry and the Potters' music at www.myspace.com/harryandthepotters and www.myspace.com/ineedmoreharryandthepotters.

I like stick it to Dolores too, My faviote part is, "O my God, you look like a frog:elaugh:

I know, I was bugging my sister by turning that part up really loudly for hours!

There's more of their songs at www.myspace.com/ineedmoreharryandthepotters. I love Stick it to Dolores

I want to buy the CDs, but I can only afford one. Which one would you reccomend?

I totally reccomend getting their latest cd, Harry and the Potters and the Power of Love. It's really awesome. There's a big improvement from their first two cd's. The first couple were great too, but the latest one is the best by far!:tu:

Thanks! Anyone else got an opinion?

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=90759887
Here is the link for Voldemort. Don't take them too seriously :lol:

They were actually playing at a bookstore in my city just a few weeks ago, but sadly, I had to work. I was so disappointed. I hadn't even heard any of their songs yet, but I just thought it would be fun to go and watch. Oh well. Perhaps I'll order one of their CDs... I love supporting independentish musician types. :)

i was supposed to go see them today with some friends, but it didn't end up working out.
i'm so sad!

i'm sad.
Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoy's were in my city a couple days ago and i wasn't able to go see them.

Thanks to Corvus for the link. They're kind of creepy.

And to Kedavra_Kelsey: How awful! I ALMOST got to see JKR in NYC, but my mom held it off until the last minute and we were too late to buy tickets!!! I don't live in NYC though, so it's not as bad at as it would've been.

harry and the potters are good

I think the Switchblade Kittens are the best. Their Weird Sister's album (http://www.myspace.com/theweirdsisters)
http://www.myspace.com/switchbladekittens

yes they are all quite good.

nice!!!

Hey (:
Do you know all the "fan-music" all the bands that has popped up?
I love them, I hate when you can't download their music :/
NM. Do you know others than these?
(+ What do you think of them?)
The quality of these bands are very different. But that's how that is :D
I think they're all "collected" here (http://www.myspace.com/wizardrock_MUSIC)

Wow, I'd only heard of Harry and the Potters before, I had no idea there were so many. That's awesome!

i've heard of harry and the potters, draco and the malfoys, remus and the lupins, and a few others, but that's about it. unfortunately i have never heard any of their music witch makes me sad 'cause i really want to!!

I love them. I have some Harry and the Potters and some Draco and the Malfoys on my ipod from their myspace sites but thats the only place i can find them

Dobby and the House Elves are really good. They're kind of techno based. But Harry and the Potters will forever be the best wizard rock band!

I wish they would get more original names. "Harry and the Potter", "Draco and the Malfoys", "Dobby and the House Elves".

I love their names. :)

Voldemort isn't on that list... Voldemort is the only HP band that i have listened.

I had never heard of these before until this thread. I went to download music from some of the bands and I must say that it actually is nice to listen to. This may also be because I am an obsessive HP fan and, incidently, I adore/chesrish/worship anything to do with the series in question.
Cheers, to all of you fans, for introducing me to these HP bands!

Thestral!!

Here's a link with a bunch of wizard rock bands:
www.myspace.com/wizardrock_MUSIC

Draco and the Malfoys are the best of the lot in my opinion. Harry and the Potters kinda get on my nerves, and any of them with female leads just seem to laugh and giggle a lot. Excluding the Hermione one that's not bad.

Draco and the Malfoys are great too. Broomstick is my favourite ditty of theirs.
Man I wish I could have seen them in concert, but they never came any where near where I live. :(

I like Draco's My Dad is Rich because it is just so PERFECT for Draco!!!! But my faveorite will ALWAYS be The Remus Lupins because they were the first i heard!!! And yeah, if they weren't singing about hp they may not have made it as far, but so what? They are singing these songs and they are good, AND the only people who would truly get some of these titles and references are the book fans! Its just another way for us to obsess! If we can draw them and write about them (skewer them even) why not sing of them!

I don't like Harry and the Potters as much as I like The Remus Lupins, but I like their lyrics and its funny to see my non-Hp fan family's reactions when they don't get what they are singing about!

Draco and the Malfoys your family is poor! haha
I was listening to Harry and the Potters on Myspace and It came to Human Hosepipe and I was laughing so hard. Now for an excerpt:

"Cho please stop talking about your dead ex-boyfriend on our date... If you want Rodger Davies he's sitting right over there."

Personally I have never heard of these music bands, but I think it is a bit funny to make up a band from Harry Potter. When I became a fan, I thought of the HP books as very serious and not very popular, but now that I have so many new friends and that I have seen all of these HP fan sites, (MuggleNet and COS are my favorites!) I have found that HP is very popular, but I never heard that there were actually bands going to be named after Harry Potter. I think it's very unique and cool!

-Simon

haha I was just listening to The Remus Lupins and they are by far the best band of HP!

I am a fan of Harry and the Potters and The Remus Lupins. I enjoy their music. I think its great that someone has come up with song lyrics about Harry Potter. I wish them luck with their music and can wait to see them live.

Draco and the Malfoys your family is poor! haha

I like that song too :D

I love Harry and the Potters. Especially Cornelius Fudge Is An (Rear End) ;)

I saw that Wizard Metal band called Voldemort on the internet. It is actually really odd, don't like it very much.

Actually i was thinking of a harry and the potter song that i remembered laughing at but i couldn't remember the name, but i realized it was "three headed dog" i LOVED that one!!! i couldn't stop laughing!!!

voldemort can stop the rock alright... dont think much would stop these guys

i've had 'gryffindor rocks' stuck in my head for AGES... its funny the worst songs musically are the most catchy for example - 'the dark lord lament' tho they are gettin better musically..

my fav - 'the missing arm of viktor krum' an ' the blood of a prince'

hear the blood of a prince at their myspace

Wow, I had no idea there were so many wizard rock bands out there until I started reading this thread. I had heard of a few, but didn't realize how huge it was. I think Draco and the Malfoy's lyrics are particularly hilarious. Also like Harry and the Potters, but The Remus Lupins are the best musically that I've heard.

I really like the Remus Lupins, Draco and the Malfoys and Ron and the Weasleys.

Draco and the Malfoys are hilarious XD

I never really paid any attention to the "Wizard Rock" bands. I thought it was a neat idea but I personally never looked into them or went out of my way to listen to their work, BUT.....

Lately Pottercast has been playing some of the music from The Remus Lupins, which is extremely catchy so I decided to look "Him" up, and I've got to say I am really impressed. I'm actually considering buy the album.

Since getting into The Remus Lupins I've been checking out other wizard rockers. I've listen to all of the bands I could find involving Harry Potter and so far The Remus Lupins is by far my favorite. I also am liking Hollow Godric, Draco and the Malfoys, The Whomping Willows, The Half-Blood Princess, The Sectumsempras.

the sectumsempras... i'm sure they're pleasant ;)

the sectumsempras... i'm sure they're pleasant ;)

They are labeled as Alternative / Gothic / Electronica. I really like their sound (even though I'm not into Gothic) and the female lead vocals sound great. The name of the group really does reflect the darkness of the music though.

I love all of those bands to DEATH... Cannot explain how much I adore them.

hmm, are they on myspace? or is there a link? You've intrigued me! Let's go dark wizard rock!

Ha that's funny I'm listing to Dumbledore's Army by the Harry and the Potters when I found this thread, they are cool. What they stand for is very cool, And I'd love to go to one of their shows.

I was listening to human Hosepipe with my best friend and we couldnt stop laughing, i like them. Me and my friend are contemplating starting a band named something like, 'Sirius Black', or 'the Shrieking shack' *(its a punk band)

I have stumbled across them sometimes on other sites. Its odd, I dont like them, but it is fun to listen to.

I love Wizard Rock bands! I found the Harry and the Potters MySpace sites. I downlaoded the eight songs they posted and I love them! Once I found tehm, I started looking at a bunch of other HP bands, too. My sister loves DJ Luna Lovegood. I personally, love Expecto PatrAWESOME. The music sucks, but the lyrics are hilarious!

No I haven't

I just listen to them, don't like there music but I think there still cool in there Harry Potter way :D

I love Draco and the Malfoy's 99 Death Eaters and Your Family is Poor!
I also love the Moaning Myrtles! They're hilarious!
Go to http://wizrocklopedia.com/ for a complete list of wizard rock bands.

I think Draco and Malfoys are pretty good. Hermione and the Grangers are so-so and Harry and the Potters rock, especially for "Save Ginny Weasley." I think my friend has all of their songs. The lyrics are so much fun to listen to.

theres a website!! 8O

Awesome!

Wow! What a great way to promote literacy. I can't wait to get some of these groups' CDs. My daughters are convinced that I am too obsessed. Is it possible to be too obsessed?!

When it comes to books movies and music there is NO SUCH THING as too obseesed!!!

well, i tell myself that everynite to prove that i am not insane... :lol:

I've decided to create a HP musical using a lot of the wizard rock songs around with Ginger98.
I'll put it up on Flourish and Blotts when it is done.

ooh! Can't wait!!!

Me neither.
I hope you will like it.

I can't wait either. It sounds like a lot of work. Good luck.

They're awesome, but the Remus Lupins are WAY better!

My favorite band is The Remus Lupins. http://www.myspace.com/theremuslupins.
They're the best band ever!

I just checked out The Remus Lupins and they're suprisingly really good !! nice some new listening material!

Ha! i never knew wizard rock existed, thanks for enlightening me!

I wanna hear these songs, where can I find them?

moonfoot this is the link to the Harry and the Potters website...http://eskimolabs.com/hp/
This is their MySpace address...
http://www.myspace.com/harryandthepotters
From their MySpace you will find links to an assortment of other Wizard Rock bands. Have fun!

this is the first i have heard of such a thing!

What about the actual Weird Sisters from the movie OotP. You can download their songs.. So far I got Do the Hippogriff and THe Last Chance song

I wonder if wizard rock will ever be listened to and recognised as part of the fandom by Jo, WB and Warner Music?

I really doubt it. It surprises me that Warner Brothers hasn't done anything to stop it yet. I mean they told Mugglenet to stop selling t-shirts with images and words relating to Harry Potter. It's the same for these bands. But then Warner Brothers would have to take on Myspace and that would be monumental.

and now andrew has one :lol:

I havent actually heard them but I heard they are really good.

Here's a link to a cute little song from Gossip at the Gryffindor Tower!
http://www.myspace.com/gossipatgryffindortower

I love the Whomping Willows and the Parselmouths. Oh, and another great band for a good laugh is the Hungarian Horntails (http://www.myspace.com/thehungarianhorntails). The lead singer is seven years old! Love it.

Ha ha I love them.
"we got Sirius Black and he's pretty serious now that the dark Lord's back...."
that line always cracks me up for some reason lol.
oh and "are you petrified.....of being...petrified...?"

I have most of their songs, alas none from Power of Love yet.
I know a few off by heart as well.

I like The Remus Lupins better, but Paul and Joe are awesome, too! I actually e-mailed them and asked them if the could come to Chicago and Paul e-mailed back and said he was working on booking a place in early March. Squee!

This is my 'review' on wizard rock.

The Wierd Sisters (JKR/WB): I see them as the Rowling Stones or such, which Molly still dances on when she's cooking and also Tonks, Harry and friends can enjoy. Especially good for annoying my brother (I now I’m 26)

The Hungarian Horntails - The First Task
An artist, truly, with takes some time to get used to, as thirst you want to take of your shoe off to hit that cat very hard.

Voldemort - Evil Is Sexy
A little Rammsteinish, Ompa Til Du Dør, western movie theme and many more. Of course dark, but with a twist and diverse. Love it.

The Remus Lupins:
A man with his guitar. Good lyrics, only heard snippets, look forward to hear more.

Draco and the Malfoys:
Guitarband. Lyrics good be stronger. But what I have seen (on video) great live.

Harry and the Potters:
Crazy guys, would love to see them live some time.

And many more to discover.

Tip: If you are really interested check out the Wizard Rock EP Of The Month Club.
There are also some good filk artist.

filkcast is a podcast where people submit filks, its quite fun to listen too and you get some great ones in too! totally makes you want to make your own filk...

No offense, but I think that is the work of over obsessive HP fans.

You're probably right, but why is that a bad thing? :lol:

Since joining mugglenet I checked out a few of these bands and while they aren't specifically my cuppa I'm dead impressed by them! These folks clearly love the books and are pretty darn talented to turn their hand at writing and performing such creative stuff.

Oliver Boyd and the Rememberalls: http://obatr.rocks.it/

That's all I'have to say.

Haha... they surely don't have the best singing voices, but their songs's lyrics are "bloody brilliant"! My favorite song is "The Human Hosepipe" for sure.
"And maybe you shouldn't have brought up Cedric Diggory because I'd rather not talk about your dead ex-boyfriends over coffee."

I have only heard the Remus Lupins and Harry and the Potters and they both ROCK!

They're a little cheesy aren't they? :td:

personally, i love them and the lyrics are awesome hhahax

nice band name:lol:

haha I love Harry and the Potters. They're so funny and they take their Harry roles in the shows so seriously.

http://a723.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00724/22/70/724400722_l.gif
They even stayed after the show for pictures

I recently bought Spells from a Broken Wand by The Remus Lupins a few weeks ago…Unfortunately, I haven’t received it yet.

Wizard Rock is probably the only reason I ever visit Myspace. The Remus Lupins own my soul, pretty much. "Loosen your tie 'cause it's time to get crazy"... awesome. I love the idea that our little (um, yeah *looks at CoS membership stats nervously*) community has its own fan made soundtrack. So much fun.

Do you think Jo has heard any wizard rock? She really should.

I like the Remus Lupins a lot...

subscribed to the wizard rock ep of the month!!!!!!! My cd's will be here mid-late june!!!! I CANNOT wait!!!!!! 6 wizard rock cd's are headed my way!!!!!!!!!!


SQUEEEEEEEE

haha..yes they are pretty kool

I don't know how many of you have heard of the band Ministry of Magic. If not, have a listen here: http://www.myspace.com/ministryofmagicmusic

These guys are really talented! They are quickly developing their fan base in the genre of wizard rock.

Check them out. Also they just announced they are taking pre-orders for their new CD!

Last Tuesday, my mom took me to Boarders to reserve our copy of Book 7 and I spotted their Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock! Cd. Of course, I had to buy it. :p I think it's very amusing and they're voices grow on you a lot after repeat listings. My favorite songs buy them that I've heard are Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock! and The Weasle. On a side note, does anyone know where I can find one of The Remus Lupins cds in the U.S.?

At first I thought they were rather stupid and cheesy but now I enjoy listening to it. They are just really catchy and cheesy and it's just fun to sing and laugh.

Here's a link to a cute little song from Gossip at the Gryffindor Tower!
http://www.myspace.com/gossipatgryffindortower

Hey thanks for the link that song rocked. It sounded like a cross between the Mountain Goats, Elliott Smith and late-period Bright Eyes, except it's happy. The Remus Lupins are a rocking band.

I'm in love with Harry and the Potters! Of course they are the best singers but they're congs are so catchy and cheesy. I love the Wrath of Hermione: "Rita Skeeter better shut her mouth before she gets in trouble!"

I'm going to their show tonight and I can't wait to see them live!

I LOVE THIS GROUP!!!

They are almost as creative as The Potter Puppet Pals. ^___^

The Potter Puppet Pals are awesome. "Angst, angst, angst.." :lol:
If anyone hasn't seen the video's they should google it immediatly.
My 100th post, wow, I'm done my freshman year!

The Moaning Myrtles, Harry and the Potters, The Remus Lupins and Muggle and the Casters are my favourites.
