Wizard Rock: A Subject Heading
Wizard Rock is many things: music about Harry Potter, a source of unbridled happiness, the most amazing community I’ve ever been a part of, and a Library of Congress subject heading.

An Introduction to the Filk Community for Wrockers, Part 1
Filk, the music that is looked down on. But what is it deep down, what is its relation to wizard rock, and why do I think filkers and wizard rockers have a lot in common? Because both filk and wizard rock have a do-it-yourself and anyone can play attitude, both in theory and in practice.…
