With Confidence stand up to fear itself with their track “Voldemort”
With Confidence’s hit “Voldemort” clearly holds a reference to the wizarding world, and frontman Jayden Seeley says the track is inspired by the name Voldemort itself. “‘Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.’ Voldemort is my personification of mental illness and this song is a big, happy and carefree fuck you to Voldemort.”
From First To Last channel the Marauder’s Map with “I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good”
Harry Potter fans will recognize From First To Last’s reference to J. K. Rowling’s magical series—and the Marauder’s Map reference. The map first appears in the third book of the series, Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, and in order to reveal the map, you must vow, “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”
Broadside's Oliver Baxxter shows his love (basically) 24/7
Broadside's Oliver Baxxter is a longtime fan of the series—whether he's walking through the courtyard of the actual Hogwarts or celebrating the release of their new album, Paradise, with a season pass to Universal Studios to visit The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter as often as he pleases, there's a good chance Baxxter has a butterbeer in his hand.
Tom Felton is a fan of Movements and Silverstein (and they’re fans of him, too)
Whether or not you were a fan of the Slytherin House, it’s clear that Tom Felton has good taste in music. He was spotted at The Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver during Good Charlotte's tour stop with Silverstein, Palaye Royale and Movements. The actor snapped pictures with both Shane Told of Silverstein as well as Movements, and both featured the special guest on their Instagram pages. Now this is truly magical.

Set It Off may have been touring the U.K., but according to guitarist DeWall, it’s actually the land of Harry Potter, and, TBH, we agree. There’s also this tweet:

Eric Lambert of blessthefall pays his tributes through shreddage
The blessthefall guys are always showing off their newest additions to their pop culture collections — whether it’s The Lord of the Rings– and Final Fantasy-themed tattoos, Star Wars-inspired music videos (and tattoos), or NHL-themed tours (and tattoos). This time, lead guitarist Eric Lambert rocks out with a Deathly Hallows symbol on his guitar pick.

Frontwomen Kristen May (flyleaf), Sherri DuPree-Bemis (Eisley) and Yasmine Yousaf (Krewella) all sport the signature Deathly Hallows symbol proudly—and permanently—by declaring their love for the mischievous wizard with tattoos. The symbol represents the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility, told by Emma Watson’s Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One. May and Yousaf take it one step further by also grabbing merch and donning a costume.

Even the people of Pinterest can’t resist the Potter fandom, creating their own OTP house choices with their favorite lyrics from Panic! At the Disco’s “Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off.”
Harry Potter even inspired its own type of music
Dubbed “wizard rock,” fans of the Harry Potter series brought together their love of literature and music by forming their own bands and creating a whole new space for the stories to live on. After seeing Harry and the Potters in concert, one woman told NPR, “Their music just captures the essence of the books so much better than any sort of other media has been able to do. That's why I love it. It's great.” Many more bands have resulted from the series, like Draco and the Malfoys and the Whomping Willows.
