Harry Potter Extravanganza: Day 9 Part 1!
Harry and the Potters were the first wrock and that I listened to, and from there I discovered others, like The Ministry of Magic. Because this is such a growing phenomenon, it has caught the eye of popular culture. In the following documentary, We Are Wizards (directed by Josh Koury) follows big names in the Harry Potter wrock scene and fandom, giving people an interesting perspective on the start and acceptance of the fan world of Harry Potter .

Harry Potter Extravaganza: Day 7 Part 2!
One thing EVERY Harry Potter Fan must know is the house they belong too.
I, myself, am a proud Hufflepuff.
To help you all find out your house so you are in appropriate house colors for the big premiere, I present the Hogwarts House Sorting Quiz.
I think it's pretty accurate, and it isn't one of those pages upon pages quizzes or the ones which ask, "What's your favorite color?" And remember, if you think you're a Ravenclaw and you get Gryfinndor it is ultimately up to you to choose where you're meant to be. Harry Potter did it, and so can you!
Harry Potter Extravaganza: Day 7 Part 1!
Ever wonder what the cast of Harry Potter sound like with an American accent? Well it's your lucky day because I've got for you an interview with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Tom Felton giving us their very best American accents! Enjoy!

Harry Potter Extravanganza: Day Three!
I know that there are tons and tons of Harry Potter fans out there. Fans who are so into Harry Pottet that they've made him an important part of their life! Well today I'm going to be sharing a super awesome part of that intense fandom: Wizard Rock!
Wizard Rock, also known as wrock (pronounced rock), is a genre of music based on the Harry Potter series started by Harry and the Potters, Joe and Paul DeGeorge of Boston, Massachusetts, in 2002. They were joined by Draco and the Malfoys in 2004, when Harry and the Potters were invited by Matt Maggiacomo, who later became The Whomping Williows, to a house show in Matt's apartment.
Wrock is really awesome, and all the bands are super inventive. Most of the bands take on the persona stated in their names. For instance Harry and the Potters often take the viewpoint of Harry Potter (go figure). I love most of the bands but there is one band in particular that I really love:
Ministry of Magic
( Not shown in correct release date...sorry)
The Ministry of Magic is a headed by Luke Conard, Jason Munday, Aaron Nordyke, Ryan Seiler, Mark Jennings, and Jeremy Jennings. They make some of (in my opinon) best wrock songs out there!
Below I've posted some of my favorites! If you guys like what you hear be sure to go support the guys! You can buy each of the albums on iTunes, just click the cover and you'll pop over to the site.
Check back everyday for more Harry Potter Extravaganza!!
I might even post more than once so keep your eyes peeled!!!
(P.S. I have in NO way been asked by Ministry of Magic to promote them. I just really like them!!)

Harry Potter Extravanganza: Day Two!
Did you know....
- ...that when Alfonso Cuarón became director for Prisoner of Azkaban, in order to acquaint himself with the three leads, he asked each of them to write an essay about their characters from a first-person perspective. True to character, Emma Watson (Hermione) wrote a 16-page essay, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) wrote a simple one-page summary, and Rupert Grint (Ron) never turned his in.
- ...that Alan Rickman was the only Harry Potter cast member to find out their character's fate before the release of Deathly Hallows?
- ...that Neville Longbottom's wife, Hannah Abbott, became the landlady of the Leaky Cauldron?
- ...that Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore both see the same thing when looking into the Mirror of Erised; themselves happily reunited with their family?
- ...that when Fred and George Weasley bewitched snowballs to bounce off the back of Professor Quirrell's turban in the winter of the 1991–1992 school year, they were unknowingly hitting Voldemort in the face?
