The Harry Potter Alliance has once again kicked off one of their most popular and successful campaigns in Wizard Rock The Vote!

The goal of the campaign is to help get out information on voting – how to register, where to register, and excite voters on exercising their civic duty to help shape their future.

Every campaign the HPA runs is designed to raise awareness of current social issues affecting the world, and this time is no different. And just like with many other campaigns, backers can get some sweet perks for helping the HPA, including an exclusive charity compilation “Fantastic Beats and Where To Drop Them” for backers who pledge $15.

As the name suggests, the compilation will heavily feature the beats. Matt Maggiacomo, Executive Director of the HPA (also known to wizard rock fans as The Whomping Willows), let us know that this comp is going to be wizhop heavy, in relation to the average HPA compilation.

In fact, what makes “Fantastic Beats” an appealing perk is the simple fact that in addition to a few well-known wizhop bands, a number of decidedly wizard ROCK bands will be included, putting their own spin on wizhop!

At the time of this article’s publication, confirmed bands include:
Tessa Violet
Swish & Flick
Big Whompy
Draco and the Malfoys
Tianna and the Cliffhangers
Tonks and the Aurors
Flitwick and the Charmers
Kirstyn Hippe
Ashley Hamel

Matt let us know that a few more bands were potentially going to be involved in the comp, including a few possible surprises that backers will get the exclusive right to hear!

The Harry Potter Alliance is currently celebrating its 11th year of existence, which is extraordinary for a group that was borne of a DIY punk rock desire to help and has now grown into a worldwide organization. In addition to helping get out the word about voting, the HPA has helped stock libraries, provide assistance to impoverished areas, promoted fair-trade goods, and so much more. All of these efforts have been successful because of volunteer efforts and donations from fans of Harry Potter and wizard rock around the globe.

“Fantastic Beats and Where To Drop Them” is just one of many perks available to the Wizard Rock The Vote campaign backers. Other options include awesome HPA shirts, howlers from fandom personalities (including Luna Lovegood herself, Evanna Lynch!), Cursed Child tickets, and more.

Backers who choose the “Fantastic Beats” perk will also get one entry into the signed Deathly Hallows contest! That’s right, both the comp AND a chance to win a book signed by JK Rowling for only $15.
