I took a break last month, so this latest #wizardrock round up is a bumper crop! As always, links are currently on the YWRR homepage.

The Fallen Fathers of Goblet of Fire – Harry Potter Lexicon Jo’s portrayal of mothers in the HP books is fairly straight-forward: mother’s love is the be-all end-all of the series, so we can move right along. But her portrayal of fathers, on the other hand, is...

5 days to go until #Malfoy! Today, I'm happy to share an old essay that's just been republished at the Lexicon.

Bess: If you were to set up your dream lineup of bands to play with, who would you include?

Deirdre: You know, I think Irvin does it for us.

Memories of Magic, by Dots and Lines from the album Chiropteromancy

Thinking about this past year as my birthday comes around. One thing I'm proud of is gaining enough skill on my guitar that I have something to show in some of the songs I share.

Behold! Months of planning, and the 2025 Wizard Rock Sampler is ready to roll on September 1! Huge thanks to everyone who contributed, and a special thanks to Whimsey and Zest for designing our album art and Bradley for mastering the tracks!
