If there’s anything we’ve learned from ABC Family’s Harry Potter Weekends, the Boy Who Lived is a natural element to any holiday season. We’re taking it one step further by arguing that your holiday is not complete without a little wizard rock.
For those whose ears have not yet been blessed by the magic that is wrock music, it’s a musical movement dating back to the early 2000s celebrating songs about the Harry Potter series. It’s as amazing as it sounds.
Fortunately for you, some of the quintessential wrock bands still going strong today — Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys, and more — have made it easy for you to celebrate the holidays with some pretty cool seasonally appropriate gear. Check it out!
1. Harry and the Potters Limited Edition Holiday Sweater
If you’ve ever listened to a Harry and the Potters song and thought to yourself, “man, this music is so good I want to literally wear it everywhere,” then this sweater is for you. Available only for the 2015 season, this sweater is gone for good once it sells out, so grab it now or regret it forever!
2. Harry and the Potters Christmas Album
If you’re getting sick of the boring, repetitive Christmas music you’ve been forced to listen to your whole life then it’s time to bring so magic back to the season with “Harry and the Potters present: A Wizardly Christmas of Wizardry with Harry and the Potters.” Your ears will enjoy awesome tunes like “XMas Rulez, Voldemort Droolz” and “Hedwig is Coming to Town,” and you’ll never be able to tolerate the typical Christmas fair again.
3. Draco and the Malfoys “Evil Tidings” Wrapping Paper
Delight the evil wizards in your life by wrapping their holiday gifts in this dastardly festive wrapping paper decorated with various Draco and the Malfoys album covers. It’s sure to brighten up the pile of presents under anyone’s tree, and will definitely remind the recipient just how lucky they are to have you in their life.
4. The 2015 Yule Ball
The 11th annual Yule Ball is already promising to be a total blast. The first show takes place December 19 in Brooklyn, NY at The Bell House and will feature Harry and the Potters with Potter Puppet Pals, Draco and the Malfoys, Tonks and the Aurors, and Ashley Hamel. The second show will be in Cambridge, MA on December 20th and will feature Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys, Jason Anderson, and Blue Milk Run. Tickets to both shows are $20, and $5 of each ticket sale will go straight to the Harry Potter Alliance. You can find ticket information here. What better way to get in that magical holiday mood, right?
These are just a few festive ways to bring wrock into your family’s holiday traditions, but you don’t have to stop there! Check off everyone on your Christmas shopping list by picking up all kinds of wrock swag from artists like Tonks and the Aurors, The Whomping Willows, Lauren Fairweather, and more.
