Okay, I was going to make my first blog here something about myself and what I've been doing around the site this week but it turns out I’m not all that interesting at the moment. So instead I’m going to talk about the fandom, and in particular, those who wrock!

So, do you Wrock?

One of the things I love most about the Harry Potter fandom is that it embraces all sorts of people with all sorts of interests and talents. It’s really amazing to me how one series can spark so much creative drive in people. HPFF celebrates Potter people with a fondness for literature and writing, but fan fiction is far from the only creative outlet for fans. I personally have a very soft spot in my heart for all the wizard rockers out there, and there sure are a lot of them these days.

If you by chance don’t know about Wizard Rock, well, it’s pretty much what it sounds like… it’s hundreds of musicians writing and performing songs about Harry Potter. And there is some really amazing talent out there. These musicians put on concerts, sell CD’s and are an ever-growing presence in the fandom. Just like fan fiction authors, these artists use their talents to express their love of Harry Potter. So next time you need a fix of the Boy Who Lived, consider trying out some wizards rock. Drop by a concert, many are free and open to people of all ages, or just download a few songs.

And feel free to let me know if YOU wrock in the comments section...
