Wizard Rock Song of the Week 2006-11-18 23:23:00 You know, there are so many cool Wizard
Rock bands out there, and some weeks it's really tough trying to figure out which one of them to feature, and especially which song! But this week, I thought we should feature a band with the nifty name of "The Hinky Punks", who have a sound just as nifty as their name which they describe as "slick and catchy". The band hails from Las Vegas and consists of Patrick (Guitar/vocals/other sounds) and Mike (Bass/Guitar/vocals).So the song I picked from them to feature this week? "In the End".You can hear the song on our Myspace, or you can check it out on The Hink Punks' Myspace as well as their other great songs. Currently they have a new album coming out titled, "A Wizard's Diary", and you can go ahead and pre-order it on their page if you like their music! (And you really should, really.) Make sure to friend them and spread the word!If you're a fan of Wizard Rock

It was emailed to us by one of our readers, Kandy (thank you!!), who also sent us a bunch of others that will be featured shortly. This particular one is set to "Welcome to the Family" by Little Big Town, and it uses the premise that Harry and Ginny are getting married, and the Weasleys are welcoming him to their "hillbilly" family! The clips fit the song perfectly, almost too perfectly. Hope you guys enjoy!Video by LostInNarnia.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fanfic of the Week 2006-11-19 18:29:00 This time we're focusing on the Marauders for our fanfic of the week: James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. I've always loved fics featuring those four and their adventures before Harry Potter was even in existence, but this one...this one is just special.Some Things Are Better Left Unknown by GiesbrechtSummary:Fifteen-year-old Sirius perfects a spell to send the Marauders 25 years into the future -- and right into Harry's fifth year. At first, it's lots of fun, but the truth can be a terrible thing.Small Excerpt:"Alright, Padfoot, what did you cook up this time?" James watched with some amusement as Sirius scampered about the Gryffindor common room, arranging some very odd looking objects. He had been doing this for the last half-hour. "I'll tell you in a minute," said Sirius, excited and quite breathless. "Looks like some odd treasure hunt," observed Peter, "except we can all see where you're putting stuff, and its not even hidden." "It's a charm Read more:Fanfic
'PoA' Director to Possibly Direct Future HP Films? 2006-11-19 18:04:00 Remember Alfonso Cuarón, the director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? Well in a recent interview with Rope of Silicon in the press junket for his new film (Children of Men), the subject of Harry Potter was brought up, of course! This is what Mr. Cuarón had to say about it:"I would love to have the opportunity to revist the Harry Potter universe," he said. "It's an amazing experience to do those films because while you are doing those films you are surrounded by this amazingly beneficial energy. Everything that is surrounding J.K. Rowling's creation, and I'm not talking about the film franchise, but J.K. Rowling's creation is so impregnated with this amazing beneficial energy. For me it was two amazing years of my life and I wouldn't mind at all revisiting that."Whether or not we'll actually see him directing the 6th or 7th film is definitely the question, although he did talk a little more about it in the article.Thanks HPFZ!---------------------------------- Read more:Director
