Combining a passion for J.K. Rowling and the wonders of the digitial age, Ministry of Magic presses the genre of wizard rock into a newer, less visited world: wizardtronic. The music of MoM is a tapestry of orchestra, pop, rock, dance, and hip-hop carefully woven to create a full sensory experience for the type of fan attracted to wizard rock: imaginative, discerning, and filled with an appetite for something more than just the middle of the road.
They were signed to Indytronic Records until that label's dissolution. As of 2010, they have released five albums -- four LPs and an EP. The Triwizard Lp (2007), Goodbye Privet Drive (2008), Acoustiatius (EP, 2008), and Onward and Upward were released under Indytronic Records, and their latest offering, Magic is Might (2010), was released independently. In addition, members Mark Jennings and Jason Munday, along with Jeremy Jennings, worked on a side project under the name "Muggle Relations". Their lone EP to date is titled "I Must Not Tell Lies" (2009).
They have collaborated with a few wizard rock artists such as The Remus Lupins, Kristina Horner from The Parselmouths and The Moaning Myrtles. MoM was also featured on 'Jingle Spells' and 'Jingle Spells 2', two charity compilation albums to raise money for Book Aid International.

Ministry of Magic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Propaganda is putting thoughts in my head
Surely now our, days of childhood are dead
You and Ginny, kept the training alive
Despite the Carrows Dumbledores army is ready to fight
PRECHORUS: (Aaron)
And I can't see why they don't see
CHORUS: (Ryan)
Luna, I wanna take you to the moon
Where it can be just me and you
Oh, Luna Loo
VERSE 2: (Mark)
In the cellar you were tender to Olivander
So perceptive and protective of those you love
Your truth is piercing but welcome in these confusing times
Some say your crazy, but I am crazy for those silver blue eyes
PRECHORUS: (Aaron)
And I can't see why they don't see
And I can see what they don't see in you
CHORUS: (Ryan)
Luna, I wanna take you to the moon
Where it can be just me and you
Oh, Luna Loo
BRIDGE: (Luke)
Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure
But you also had faith through it all.
Friends know you faithful
And constantly able to lend a good and gifted wand
(Ryan and Jason)
I am looking for the kind of witch to hold
And stand with against the dark lord
CHORUS: (Ryan)
Luna, I wanna take you to the moon
Where it can be just me and you
Oh, Luna Loo
The lyrics of Ministry of Magic's song Lovegood are a tribute to the character Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series. The song begins by describing the effect of propaganda on one's thoughts and the harsh reality of childhood's end. However, amidst this despair, Luna and Ginny keep the 'training' alive, hinting at the formation of Dumbledore's army in the series. Despite the threat posed by the Carrows, Luna stays loyal and fights alongside her peers, lending a ray of hope in a battle that seems impossible.
In the chorus, the singer proclaims his affection for Luna and states his desire to take her to the moon where they can be alone. The lyrics in the second verse again highlight Luna's empathy and loyalty, describing her time in the cellar with Ollivander. Her sincerity is portrayed as piercing truths in a time of confusion, making her an alluring character. The bridge of the song mentions Luna's intelligence and faith, endearing her to the singer even further. The song ends with a declaration that the singer is searching for a 'kind of witch' to hold and stand against the dark lord - a reference to the final battle in the Harry Potter series.
