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 ↴
I can do anything
This book is so awesome
I am the potions king
Did you hear that Half Blood Prince?
I said I was the king
Did you hear Proffesor Snape?
This book is so awesome
This book is so awesome
I can do anything
This book is so awesome
I am the potions king
Did you hear that Half Blood Prince?
I said I was the king
Did you hear Proffesor Snape?
I can make anything
This book is so awesome
The lyrics of Ministry of Magic's song "This Book is So Awesome" are reflective of the power and magic that can be found within books, particularly those of the Harry Potter series. The repetition of the phrase "This book is so awesome" emphasizes the excitement and enthusiasm that the singer has for the knowledge that they have gained from reading. The subsequent line "I can do anything" speaks to the transformative power of books, particularly for young readers who may feel empowered and inspired by the fictional characters they come across.
The next line "I am the potions king" is particularly interesting as it both references the character of Severus Snape as well as the Half-Blood Prince, a book that is integral to the plot of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This line is particularly noteworthy as it demonstrates how readers can become fully immersed in the worlds they are reading about and feel a sense of ownership and confidence over the skills and knowledge they acquire through those books. The final line "I can make anything" further bolsters this confidence and creativity that comes from reading, and reminds listeners of the limitless potential they have when engaging with literature.
