The Fandom Files is joined by Joe and Paul DeGeorge, the brother duo behind the wizard rock band Harry and the Potters! After over a decade of playing their Hogwarts-inspired hits, the duo are about to release Lumos, their first album in 13 years. They spoke with us about the heady early days of couch surfing and waiting for new Potter books, how they built the genre, and why they decided to finally record and release a new album of originals.
