Well, I can't say that I've ever listened to terribly much of this, so I don't really have an opinion one way or the other. I have perhaps heard teensy snippets here and there, but not enough to say whether or not I like it as a genre. However! Due to circumstances completely unrelated to HP, I actually stumbled across a really cool musician who was a former Wrocker once upon a time. I was tootling around the YouTube one day when I came across a video titled "Alex Reads Twilight" which I have passed on to several of you on my flist. 'Twas a very funny video wherein the aforementioned Alex (Day) reads and mocks Twilight (pointedly). Anyhoo...I was so tickled by the video I sought out more things he'd done, discovered that he was a musician, also discovered that he used to be at least somewhat involved with the Wrock band the Parselmouths, and then discovered his original music. Never really ended up listening to much of the Wrock, but have become a pretty engaged fan of his original music. For your enjoyment (even though it's slightly off topic), a video of him performing "The World Is Mine (I Don't Know Anything)" off his recently released album of the same name: Hear Alex HERE.
06. Your favorite character(s)
Um. To quote from the Potter Puppet Pals: "Ron. Ron. Ron. Ron Weasley!!" Really, there was no contest. Though I am also awfully fond of (and identify most with) Hermione - and Luna and Neville would not be far behind either - there's just no one who can compare to the funny, insecure-yet-brave, bighearted youngest Weasley boy in my book. And the lovely bloke in my icon who plays him ain't too shabby either. :D
