LeakyCon Remembrance, Day 2: Wizard Rock Night
Continuing with Part Two of my remembrance, I take a look at Wizard Rock Night. The next night, if you can believe it, was even better than Evil Night, and for me, the very highlight of the conference. Wizard Rock Night featured Tonks and the Aurors, Gred and Forge, the Whomping Willows, and the indelible…

LeakyCon Remembrance, Day 1: Evil Night!
Exactly one year ago, as I write this, I was on my way to Boston, Massachusetts to attend LeakyCon 2009, the very first conference put on by The Leaky Cauldron. Prior to that, I had only attended one other conference, which was Prophecy 2007 in Toronto, Canada, so I had very high expectations. In many…

Get Sweet this #WrockWednesday…
…with the Sweetwater All-Stars! Now this is a band that I have enjoyed getting to know over the past year. Not only does the band consist of a fantastic and extremely fun individual, but this self-same individual is currently writing her Master’s Thesis on Wizard Rock! Whaaaaaaat!? So entirely rad, am I right? I’m pretty…

Rocking the Classics for #MuggleMusicMonday
For today’s triumphant return of #MuggleMusicMonday, I would like to send you all the way of Bonnie Tyler. Now, for those of you who were at LeakyCon with me, you may recall a specific song being played twice in a row at midnight hour on Mr. Carpenter’s birthday. That song, my friends, was ‘Total Eclipse…

Creevey Thursday
While looking through the recent posts to the ‘pedia’s flickr page I came across this picture. It reminded me of why I got into Wizard Rock, and eventually, photography, in the first place. Major kudos to -eClair- for her great shots of The Hallows and Horcruxes Ball.

Let’s Hope this Wizard Party lasts Forever!!!
Now I’m not normally a fan of multiple exclamation marks, but for the sake of The Whomping Willows’ new album, I suppose we can make an exception. Last year, The Whomping Willows put out an album departing from the traditional wizard rock album that we’re accustomed to seeing. Each song was a different part of…

Question Tuesday
Have you been reading The Wrock Snob? The Wrock Snob is a no-holds barred blog that reviews wizard rock with absolute honesty. The reviews seem to be mixed so far – from “this is too mean, I won’t read it” to “glad to see someone is saying these things”. But, here’s the kicker – it’s…

Question Tuesday
Another year of the WRPCAs has come and gone, and you guys have had a lot to say about the winners. We were hoping you could take a second and think about the process of voting this year – what did you like? What worked/didn’t work? Any categories you think should be removed/added?

Muggle Music Monday: A Musical Education?
I know not everyone has had the same musical experiences, so this week’s Muggle Music Monday is about a band that I need to make sure everyone knows about – the Ramones! I’m pretty sure most of you do know a Ramones song, though. The Whomping Willows’ ‘Ginny is a Punk Rocker’ is actually a…
