Harry and the Potters are the pioneers of "wizard rock," a DIY music genre born from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter universe. Formed in 2002 by Massachusetts brothers Paul and Joe DeGeorge, the duo portrays fictional "older versions" of Harry Potter himself, crafting catchy, humorous tunes about magical adventures, teenage angst, and fighting dark wizards. Their lo-fi indie rock style—think crunchy guitars, keyboard hooks, and lyrical spells—turned them into cult icons, with releases like *The Enchanted Ceiling EP* and holiday special *A Wizardly Christmas of Wizardry* becoming fan favorites.
Known for energetic library and bookstore shows (like their *Live at the New York Public Library* album), the band leans into participatory concerts where fans shout incantations and debate House rivalries. Beyond music, they co-founded the nonprofit Harry Potter Alliance, blending fandom with activism. Recent tracks like *Hermione's Army* (featuring Kimya Dawson as Hermione) and *The Trace* show they’re still casting musical spells two decades later, proving you’re never too old to rock out with a wand in hand.
