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 ↴
Don't want to admit it.
Harry is gonna die. What will happen to
The Boy Who Lived?
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord
Only one can live.
You are supposed to save the world.
The lyrics of Ministry of Magic's song Page 784 seem to be referring to the inevitable fate of Harry Potter, the singer of the Harry Potter series. The lyrics suggest that the singer knows what is going to happen to Harry, but they do not want to accept it. This could be seen as a metaphor for the experience of reading the books or watching the movies - we all know that Harry will ultimately have to face Voldemort and potentially sacrifice himself, but we don't want to believe it.
The lines about Harry dying and the question of what will happen to "The Boy Who Lived" are particularly poignant. Throughout the series, Harry has been defined by his status as the only person to have survived the Killing Curse, and his death would represent the end of that legacy. The mention of "the power to vanquish the Dark Lord" is a reminder of Harry's responsibility as the Chosen One, while the final line - "Not get Voldemorted" - is a play on words that highlights the tragic irony of Harry's situation.
