Wizard Rockettes

This Friday, everything is changing for the self-proclaimed "rejects." They're playing to a larger crowd than ever before: the Wizard's Ball at Florida Supercon, an event that's not only buzzing with other wiz bands and screening the new flick Wizard Rockumentary: A Film About Rocking and Rowling, but is also flying in Potter film series celebrities. Natalia Tena (Nymphadora Tonks), Oliver Phelps (George Weasley), Devon Murray (Seamus Finnegan), and Stanislav Ianevski (Viktor Krum) are all going to be there.

"It's a dream come true," exclaims Amber, accenting her words with little flips of her wooden wand.

Some truths remain uniform in music, wizard or otherwise, like the importance of a loyal fanbase. Without driver's licenses, the girls say, the don't have many friends in southwest Broward, but they will have a dedicated Palm Beach posse of school chums caravaning down to cheer them on during their big night. Natch.

Exclaims giddy Amber: "You can't be a band unless you have groupies!"
