I Speak Tree just started touring with The Butterbeer Experience and selling her inaugural album, Got Bark?, so it’s been in my CD player for the past few days. My favorite song of hers is ‘Horcruxes’ because it reminds me of my favorite part about wizard rock – getting a different perspective.
The series is so centered around Harry and his experience that sometimes I find it hard to try and see things from someone else’s point of view. But with bands like Tonks and the Aurors, The Remus Lupins, and countless others, we get the chance to see that. ‘Horcruxes’ is a perfect example of this – a glimpse into Hermione’s thoughts while on that endless camping trip.
“Three horcruxes, what are we going to do?
Three horcruxes, trying to destroy you.
Three horcruxes, with four more to go.
Three horcruxes, and we’re not halfway through.”
I’ve heard and agreed with so many complaints about how long the camping trip seemed to drag on in Deathly Hallows. I think that JK Rowling was trying to show us this desperation and endless anxiety, but I never really got it until I listened to ‘Horcruxes’. I love that Tianna was able to accomplish it in four minutes, and I feel the need to reread Deathly Hallows with this new perspective on things.
Do you have a wizard rock song that really just made you think about Harry Potter in a completely different way?
