Straight from the Dinah Saur’s Mouth Vol. 10
Vol. 10: The Life and Times of an Aspiring Wizard Rocker I apologize for the slight lateness of this volume.

As those following the Wizard Rock movement have noticed, the scene just…

Julia got the idea when she wasn’t too pleased with the official Harry Potter calendar for 2008 and…

Some Things Are More Important Than Wrock

Straight from the Dinah Saur’s Mouth
In Which the Swedish Scene Takes on the Rest of the World Sweden isn’t exactly the largest country in the world, nor is it the most regularly thought of. To be perfectly honest, if someone had mentioned the words “Sweden” or “Swedish” to me more than a year ago, I would have taken a moment…

Song Round Up
Due to time constraints, it is apparent now that a weekly edition of the Song Round Up may not always be possible. New song announcements will continue to be posted at the beginning of a week as often as possible. “The Boy Who Lived” and “Dobby the House Elf” by The Wizarding World. “The Locket”,…

The Whomping Has Begun!
Most of you know that recently The Whomping Willows and Justin Finch-Fletchley and the Sugar Quills started their tour, Whomp the House, part deux. Living in Pittsburgh, I am incredibly lucky; we get a show both on the way out west and on the way back east. Another bonus is the fact that within a…
