We Are Wizards, don't believe meh?!

I no longer have anything substantial to add to this blog so I'm just gonna type whatever's on the tip of my fingers. Hanging out on the edge today is... drum roll, please: Harry Potter.

Yes me friends, I was born for Harry Potter. In 7th grade the staircase to my loft-bedroom was plastered with picture, upon bloody picture of Harry Potter. Anything that had to do with the friggin series. Lions, snakes, pre-pubescent pictures of Daniel effin Radcliffe. Yes my readers, I was a bona fied freak obsessor. Oh do I have some tales about it. But I won't bore you with them tonight.

Instead, I'm going to pimp a new movie: We Are Wizards. The HP fandom has grown to such an absurd level that it needs to be documented. Are you aware that there is a musical genre known as "Wizard Rock"? It is true. I believe we have a band called Harry and the Potters to thank for that. Since their start, fans of this magical boy have gone on to create Wizardtronica (Ministry of Magic), and WizardCore (As I Lay Dobby). They're are probably more genres but there are also more than 300 damn wizard rock bands so I don't feel like looking through all of them. But I really like Harry and the Potters and Ministry of Magic. Just sayin.

Anyways. Back to We Are Wizards. It documents the phenomenon of Harry Potter and the many, many musicians, writers, artists, film makers and other obsessive people that have contributed to spreading the HP love.Inlcuding The Hungarian Horntails who I forgot to mention in the previous paragraph and I do not feel like scrolling up. They are two brothers that are part-time elementary students, part-time wizard rockers. It's cute. The film is going to South By Southwest this year.

Check out the trailer. You know you're curious.
