Draco and the Malfoys, a wizard rock band founded in Rhode Island in 2004, gained popularity for their Harry Potter-inspired music. The group, composed of half-brothers Brian Ross and Bradley Mehlenbacher, performed under the personas of Draco Malfoy from the book series. Their lyrics, written from Draco's perspective, were initially meant as a parody of wizard rock but quickly found success. They embraced Draco's Slytherin character, donning green and silver ties and mocking Harry Potter and his friends through catchy pop songs. The band's anti-Potter lyrics resonated with fans, and they toured alongside Harry and the Potters. Draco and the Malfoys released several albums, including their self-titled debut in 2005, and earned a dedicated following in the wizard rock community. While their last show took place in 2011, the band left a lasting impact on the genre, delivering an entertaining and unique musical experience for Harry Potter enthusiasts.
