Wizard Rock (Wrock) was more than a musical genre — it was a movement.
Born in the early 2000s, Wizard Rock was a community-driven explosion of creativity inspired by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Bands like Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys, The Remus Lupins, and The Parselmouths didn’t just write songs — they became the characters, building a genre that mixed garage rock, indie pop, and pure fandom joy.
- DIY ethos: Bands often recorded at home, self-released albums, and booked tours at libraries, bookstores, and fan conventions.
- Fandom first: Music wasn’t made for profit — it was made for love of the story and each other.
- Global impact: From basements in Boston to stages in London, Wizard Rock connected a generation across continents.
Wrock was rebellion, belonging, creativity, and friendship rolled into one magical movement — and Squib Girl was there to capture it all.
