About Wizard Rock/Twi-Rock
In recent years, Wizard Rock (celebrating Harry Potter fandom) and now Twi-Rock (celebrating
Twilight fandom) has grown in popularity. In short: musicians write music about the characters
from their favorite books (and films) and perform the songs – sometimes as the characters
themselves.
MTV recently featured an article about this growing trend in fandom
(http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1561855/20070606/story.jhtml).
