new genre watch?

I’m an unabashed Harry Potter fan. I’m so excited about the fifth movie and seventh book being released that I’m nearly shaking. I’ve been listening to HP podcasts while I knit at night, in the quiet time after The Toddler goes to bed and before The Husband comes home. And apparently there are “wizard rock” bands. Real, legitimate bands, whose music is inspired by the world of Harry Potter. Bands like Hogwarts: A History, Draco and the Malfoys, and the Moaning Myrtles.

I find it fascinating that a book series has inspired an entire genre. Not just the movie soundtracks, which are quite good, but aren’t anything new in general, but a whole new category of music, entirely inspired by this world that Rowling created. Wonderful.
