RealWizardRock.com is (was?) a wizard rock lyrics site. Created initially as a resource site for Harry and the Potters the site grew into a massive lyrics database for songs by almost 100 wizard rock bands.[1][2]

As of August 2012, the site is offline.

History

"RealWizardRock.com was created in July 2006. The original idea was to provide a site for news, tour updates, and lyrics for Harry and the Potters. After hearing a song off the Magical Christmas of Magic CD, I soon fell in love with the evil wizard rock side of things - Draco and the Malfoys. I just had to include them in the new site.
It wasn’t long before I discovered what was the rest of the growing Wizard Rock community. I found The Remus Lupins, The Moaning Myrtles, and The Parselmouths, followed by more and more. My updates on Harry and the Potters news were slipping as I finished adding lyrics for Draco and the Malfoys. By November, I was done adding lyrics for both The Remus Lupins and The Moaning Myrtles. This was the point where I realized what I wanted the main focus of the site to be.
I knew there was no website where Wizard Rock fans could go to find lyrics for all of their favorite Wrock bands in one place. I had to change that. I collected lyrics for several bands and started a MySpace for the site, where it became much easier to get in touch with the bands to ask for lyrics. I appreciate all the bands who are on the site so far for being such a tremendous help and motivation.
RealWizardRock.com is constantly in the process of adding more and more bands to the site. Our goal is to have lyrics up for every Wizard Rock band out there. I’m sure we can accomplish this task with such amazing people in the Wrock community. If you are part of a Wrock band and would like to be added to the site, go ahead and send in your lyrics and we’ll get them up as soon as possible. Thanks so much to everyone for your help and support! Wrock on!""[1]
