Harry and the Potters Wizard Rock Group Celebrate Ten Years with National Tour

by Keith Hawk · July 16, 2012

Hailed as the founders of the wizard rock genre – a DIY music movement boasting nearly 1,000 bands that play songs relating to the Harry Potter book series – Harry and the Potters formed in 2002 with brothers Paul and Joe DeGeorge and have since released three full-length albums and played in over 600 shows all over the world. The DeGeorge brothers also cofounded the Harry Potter Alliance, a non-profit organization that makes activism accessible to young people by using the Harry Potter books as an access point to discuss pressing issues of social justice.

Harry and the Potters are a mashup of pop culture, punk rock, performance art, meta literary critique, and DIY ethics. Using the power of rock and roll as a weapon against evil, they answer the question, what would happen if Harry Potter quit the Quidditch team, stole a Time-Turner, and started a punk rock band with himself from an earlier point in the space-time continuum?

This summer, the group will tour around the country to celebrate its ten years together, and on top of that, they will be touring with Potter Puppet Pals.

Here are the summer tour dates:
