Twilight – Friend or Foe?
We all know of the rivalry that’s been going on between Harry Potter and Twilight fans for the past few years. And most of us have been guilty of adding wood to the pyre at least once (Don’t try to deny it. I know I’ve been caught in the act numerous times.). It can be…

The Wellspring of Wrock
I like to think of the Wizrocklopedia as not just a news site, but a place that tells the story of wizard rock and its community. Most people know the story of how wizard rock started, with The Switchblade Kittens‘ song and then the DeGeorge brothers’ backyard concert. Of course, like most music, wizard rock…

When’s the next wrock show again?
As a small preview to the wizard rock gift-buying guide that I’ve put together, I took a moment to talk with Julia from the PwnCast of WRock, who have designed a wizard rock themed calendar for 2009. Julia got the idea when she wasn’t too pleased with the official Harry Potter calendar for 2008 and…

Some Things Are More Important Than Wrock
With some of my past articles, I’ve given the impression that the wizard rockers might wish that there wasn’t something in their life that limited their participation in the wrock community. Recently, I got the chance to talk with Russ of Creevey Crisis and Stacy of Swish and Flick about being wizard rock parents. As…

Your “Muggles and Wrock”
Not too long ago, I shared with you my experiences with explaining or talking about wizard rock to my Muggle friends and family. I asked all of you for yours, and the response was amazing! Much like me, many of you seem to have at least a few people in your life that understand and…
