Audience Member I hate you all, now. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't support or condone Harry Potter rock bands. It's just dumb. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member For fans of J K Rowling's Harry Potter Series - an inside look at the phenomenon of "Wizard Rock" - bands like Harry and The Potters and Draco and the Malfoys tear up the stage across the country as The Potter-craze hits a fever-pitch. The best documentary on the Wizarding World that you've never seen. "We've got to save Ginny Weasley from the Basilisk..." Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member When people ask about why I have such a strong love for the Harry Potter community, I direct them to this documentary. It very accurately depicts why this community is important, how it supports itself, what is important to us. It didn't feel like a professional documentary in many instances, but to be honest I think that's because it was without a lot of the pretentious air that tends to get stuffed into these sorts of films. Much like the community and the people it followed, We Are Wizards is humble and warm, honest and genuine. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The parts with Brad Neely were fucking rad. That screaming kid band made me want to punch someone though. Man were those kids obnoxious. Kind of lame for a documentary though since it seemed like the director couldn't decide what they were saying and the random stock film and music sucked. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty enjoyable documentary depicting the varying levels of fandom that exists among the fervent loyalists of the "Harry Potter" franchise. The film primarily focuses on the musical phenomenon dubbed "Wizard Rock", a musical sub-genre composed of bands who build an entire act around a Harry Potter angle (among the band names are Harry and the Potters, and Draco and the Malfoys, which is essentially the same conceit as the first band, but with songs all written from a central antagonists' perspective). But the film also touches on the fansites and their battle with Warner Brothers to have the right to discuss the source of their mania, and the absurd, hilarious commentary track Brad Neely recorded for the first Potter film, dubbed "Wizard People". Overall it is a competent and amusing exploration of a fascinating nerd sub-culture (and I don't say that as an insult, as I am a nerd myself, but more as an observation).
