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.
My Baby
Ministry of Magic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your spectacles are square!
And I knew that I loved you
At the beginning of the year.
I can't deny,
You've got it going on.
And I know that my feelings for you cannot be wrong!
Break it down,
Farther.
Put your hands in the air,
Let's do it right here!
Minerva you're my baby!
Minerva you're my baby!
Minerva you're my baby!
Minerva you're my baby!
I'm in love.
Now you've become
My schoolyear crush.
And I keep checking out your office,
'Cause I can't get enough
(Yeah, baby, what?)
Summer break
Is too long to be apart
'Cause you're the cure that transfigured
My poor lonely heart!
Minerva you're my baby!
Minerva you're my baby!
Minerva you're my baby!
Minerva you're my baby!
I'm in love.
I've never been
Just so sure of anything in my whole life.
I'm in love.
But we're just friends,
So I gotta make sure you know why!
Minerva you're my baby!
Minerva you're my baby!
Minerva you're my baby!
Minerva you're my baby!
I'm in love.
Minerva,
I'm in love.
Minerva.
You're so cute,
I can't deny.
I'm in love.
(And I know that my feelings for you cannot be wrong).
I'm in love,
I'm in love.
Minerva, I'm in love.
Minerva, I'm in love.
The lyrics of Ministry of Magic's "My Baby" is an ode to the beloved Harry Potter character Minerva McGonagall. The singer expresses his love for her, admiring her for her looks and qualities. He describes her spectacles as being square, which only adds to her cuteness. He confesses his feelings, stating that he knew he was in love with her at the beginning of the year. He goes on to say that he cannot deny that she has got it going on and that his feelings for her cannot be wrong. The singer breaks it down, and the chorus repeats several times, with the singer proclaiming his love for Minerva. The Summer break is too long for them to be apart, and he cannot get enough of her.
As the song progresses, the singer declares his love for Minerva once again, stating that he has never been so sure of anything in his entire life. He acknowledges that their relationship remains just friends but feels he needs to let her know how he feels about her. He finishes by repeating the chorus and declaring his love for Minerva.

I have never been
Just so sure of anything in my whole life.

But we're just friends,
But we are only acquaintances
So I gotta make sure you know why!
