Bitchin' Witches Rock!

I know many of you Blatherscopians have been Harry Potter fans since The Beginning; well, The End is nigh, and signs of its Apocalypse are among us: the 5th movie just opened in theaters (very pretty, I must say), actor-embodiment Daniel Radcliffe is old enough to show his Harry Potter in public, and wizards are branching into the Magic of Music. If you think punk rock is Magical.

Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys, The Whomping Willow, and The Remus Lupins all try to cast a spell on You with songs such as "Smoochey Smoochey Pukey Pukey" and "In Which Draco Malfoy Cries Like A Baby." This is an incredible punk-lit-music-nerd movement, the like of which has not been seen since...well, Wagner, actually. I heart the nerdy adoration of literature. Especially nerdy adoration that spills out as song.
