Their story will inspire you to take a chance, do what you love, and see what magic happens. With footage of numerous wizard rock shows beginning at HPEF's Lumos 2006 this documentary delves into the world of wizard rock from the viewpoint of fans, for fans. Wizard rock is a music movement unlike any other, raising thousands of dollars for literacy programs and other non-profits, and inspiring kids to be as fearless as Harry in their creativity.
