Shake ups in the Wizard Rock world
On top of all of the news we've been bringing you today out of the wizarding world, it's time to highlight a big part of our fandom that looks to be crumbling apart quickly.Several Wizard Rock bands have announced major changes to their bands. Here are a few of them:
- Harry and the Potters have announced they will be breaking up and releasing solo albums.
- The Remus Lupins have announced they will be changing to The Snapes. Additionally, Alex will no longer give hugs.
- The Whomping Willows, who is made up of solely one person (Matt), will be breaking up. No word yet on how one person splits up his own band, or a reunion.
- Draco and the Malfoys have announced that they are actually the Original Harry and the Potters.
If any more disturbing announcements occur, we'll let you know here.
Update: The Whomping Willows have announced that the earlier announcement was, in fact, an April Fools joke designed to draw attention to their real news: Warner Brothers has signed Matt on to an exclusive recording contract and will be setting him up as the "Official Band of Wizard Rock." His new name will be M-Bezzle and he is adding four other men to his line up.
Further Update: Matt has posted another blog informing his fans that as the pressures of the major recording contract proved too much to handle, The Whomping Willows are officially over. He will, however be continuing a solo project to be called "The Whomping Willows".

I LOVE YOU, MUGGLENET
not funny, as much as some of the others. At least you tried.
How is Matt (Whomping Willows) exactly gonna do that??
3rd! pretty good, but keep trying!
I LOVE MUGGLENET TOO! WROCK ON!
OMG. i love mugglenet. this is awesome stuff. ANDREW-- you're awesome
I think you guys are missing the point - these are THEIR pranks, not ours. Visit their MySpaces and you'll see.
When I only read the "Harry and the Potters" one and the "Remus Lupins" one, I actually thought it was real... but, I started doubting when one guy would break up his one-person band... I actually thought about how that could happen...
Poor Matt from the Whomping Willows. It sounds like he is going to self-splinch himself. Painful.
Alex Carpenter won't give hugs anymore? no! ALEX!!!! As for the Whomping Willows... don't wanna know. Happy April 1st!
they are a lot of april fools jokes this year. this is really funny
sorry, Andrew. You scared me.
LOL! Who's winning Micah or Andrew?
I love you Mugglenet! Alex not giving hugs would be pretty rough...
OMG, I believed this until I started reading the comments . . . this is an April Fools joke right? OH THE TERROR! If this wasn't April first, I think I would be bawling right now.
april fools =P haha i heard today that Miley Cyrus and one of the Jonas Brothers were engaged today and i believed it until i remembered what day it is.
I don't buy it! Not for a minute!
hahaha what's actually so funny is that all of the bands have actually done this. Well I don't know about Draco and the Malfoys but the rest are. But no more hugs from Alex... sucks :(
I visited their Myspaces before it was posted andrew. I think you're awesome for posting it as I was trying to find all the pranks alone and it was getting hard.Thats why I declared my love to the site.
First of all, how is Matt going to manage to do that? One person can't split up......or should I say splinch, a band that is made up of that one person. Second, I can't believe that Harry and the Potters will be breaking up.
all the people asking how matt is going to do that...that's exactly the point of his prank
clearly, my life has ended. haha those silly kids. but this isnt the mugglenet one; these are all on those guys' myspaces.
The funniest one yet!!! I see in the above comments that it was the bands' ideas, but still... amazing!!
ha, i just looked on their myspaces. looks like everyone is in the spirit of april 1st.
I believed all this news til I read the comments
I believed all this news til I read the comments
This is my favorite. I love wizard rock. But really, Alex not giving hugs? That would be terrible.
OMG! This has to be the best yet! I was like "ALEX NOT GIVING HUGS?! NOOOO" even tho I knew it wasn't true. Nargles, you believed it? I was really panicked about the harmony one, but I remembered it was april fools day (Fred and George's 30th B-Day!) and I checked the comments and it comfirmed suspicions. HAPPY B-DAY GRED AND FORGE!
I would so love to see a one man band split up...must be an interesting sight.
No Alex-hugs?!? darn you MuggleNet, for reporting this news! XD
APRIL FOOLS! Good one, Andrew!
No this has to be a joke i cant believe that my favorite bands are splitting!!
Ohh... Matt's making horcruxes now? Never a good idea- here we go again. Someone call up James and Sirius Potter...
hahahaha hillarious! keep them coming...
i actually yelled "WHAT?!?!?!?!" then i was like.... wow.... it's april fools day
Noo..Alex I need your hugs LOL! =] Good one Andrew.
I don't know what to believe today!!! I love it all too much!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
LOL. This is pure gold. Alex cant not give hugs >;).
You guys are all so sillly!!! (alex not giving hugs! NOT FUNNY)
okay, i am not dumb or anything, but now i can't tell if they are joking or not. somebody help me out here. please, ill be ur best friend. jk (just kidding) -------samantha
bwahahaha, the updates are hilarious!!!
Hahahahaha! Very funny, especially the Whomping Willows thing.
Good one!!!! I hope everyone has a good time in reading this. HAPPY APRIL'S FOOL!!!!!
another gem andrew (even if you got it from their myspaces!) i am so excited for the next mugglecast!!!
i love it! lol i cant wait either.... lol i hope everyone gets to read them b4 ppl start telling the truth
man if the DeGeorges split up that would actually be amusing, all my friends would be torn between which of them to pay homage to... and I would miss the massive concerts every summer when they're home. Maybe Draco and the Malfoys will actually get a drummer now though...
oh! thank god thats an april fools, wow i feel sooooooooooo stupid!!!!
hahahahahaha that's funny stuff xD
