“The Wizard Rockumentary”: turning magic wands into drumsticks

The Grand Illusion this week presents a documentary that sounds tailor-made for Harry Potter fans.
“The Wizard Rockumentary: A Movie About Rocking and Rowling,”
directed by 22-year-old Spokane filmmakers Mallory and Megan Schuyler, explores the world of wizard rock:
bands whose music celebrates the Harry Potter universe.
The Schuylers describe the film on their Web site (www.wizardrockumentary.com) as a showcase of the extent to
which J.K. Rowling’s work has inspired creativity in her readers, an examination of the online fan community built
around wizard rock, and an exploration of the effect that Harry Potter has had on a generation.
By the way, according to the Web site, Mallory’s in Gryffindor and Megan’s in Ravenclaw.
Many wizard rock bands actively promote literacy among young people, and in keeping with that philosophy,
10 percent of ticket sales will be donated to the nonprofit literacy organization Page Ahead.
The filmmakers will host Q&As at today’s 9 p.m. screening and Saturday’s 3 and 5 p.m. screenings.
The band Hogwarts Trainwreck will play between screenings tonight;
Colin and the Creeveys and the Fizzing Whizbees will play before the 3 p.m. Saturday show and
Hogwarts Trainwreck will return to play before the 5 p.m. Saturday show.
“The Wizard Rockumentary” will continue nightly through Thursday at the G.I.,
1403 N.E. 50th St., Seattle; 206-523-3935

The History of Wizard Rock
First and foremost, to explore the history of wizard rock one must ask the question:
How did wizard rock start?
JK Rowling should be considered the inspiration behind wizard rock after mentioning an all-wizard band in her series.
Called “The Weird Sisters,” they presumably play music about being wizards.
Because of this it is considered a rule of thumb for wizard rock bands to play music of a similar theme,
whether from a certain character’s perspective or justabout being a wizard or witch in general.
