I wrock?

Those of you who know me know that I have long been a fan of the Harry Potter series. Frankly, who in my generation isn't? Harry Potter transcends all superficial dividers; the geeks love it, and it's the only book the near illiterate cheerleaders have ever read.

I was quite hardcore in my dedication to the books, but I stood at the fringes of the fandom never entering. For instance, I would go to those crazy midnight book releases, but mainly keep to myself; I would lurk on forums.

But no more! Now that the books are done and some argue the fandom will soon die, I'm ready to jump in head first! That's right, I'm gonna write wizard rock!

The books provide such a deep well of material to work with, which is great for someone like me who can't think of ideas on her own *cough* songsfromahat *cough* So far I've written one song and have a bunch more in my head.

But in all honesty, the most alluring thing about wizard rock is not necessarily the content (though I have been immersing myself in it for the last couple days) but how much frakkin fun all those wizard rockers have! They record and tour which is basically my DREAM at the moment (demand me on myspace!) and look like they have a blast doing it.

So, at the moment, I'm incredibly insecure having never written a song about harry potter before, but if you dare, take a listen and tell me what you think!
