What do filks sound like? Well, for starters filks have been around since the 1950's. The actual word 'filk' was coined when folk was misspelled in a newspaper essay by Lee Jacobs. In the decades to come, filking has become popular during sci-fi/fantasy conventions.
Basically, you take a song you like (or come up with an original if so inclined) and come up with lyrics to fit whichever topic you want to sing about. Therefore, filks can sound like anything you want. This show only plays Harry Potter based filks. It doesn't matter what genre of music you choose. It just has to be about something in the HP fandom.

The Hosts:
Delana:
Delana graduated from R.I.T. with a BA in Film/Video. An aspiring director/writer, she is currently in the process of writing a sci-fi novel and develpoing a comic strip, amongst other things. She became a Harry Potter fanatic after reading the first book in 2001. A multimedia connoisseur, Delana also enjoys nostalgia and sleeping.
Currently she has a brand new Etsy shop where you can buy handmade crocheted or knit items. Check it out.
Michael:
Michael graduated from the University of Tennessee with a BA of Fine Arts/Graphic Design. His focus is educational publishing, working for The McGraw-Hill Companies and produces reading programs for Kindergarten to 6th Grade students and their teachers. He is a devoted and loving husband and father and enjoys reading the Harry Potter books (with voices) to his two young children. He has been a fan of the books since 1997. His hobbies include collecting and building Star Wars LEGOs, playing french horn and trumpet, and creating ambigrams, focusing mainly on names. In fact he has created the new logo for Filkcast: Potter Style. He is very pleased with the way the series was completed, but is very happy when new information comes out about his favorite characters. Thanks Jo!.
Nina:
(coming soon!)
Christina:
HermyG13, or the muggle formerly known as Christina, is a junior at the University of Miami, where she was recently named the managing editor of the school paper. When she's not watching her beloved Florida Marlins shock the baseball world despite a young team and limited payroll, she takes pride in the fact that she resembles the true know-it-all spirit of her favorite Harry Potter character.

Hail, FilkCast Potter Style From Across The Vast Reaches Of Our Uncharted Realms... The Ringlords™ bid you Welcome & Well Met!!!
Feel free to stop by any time!... If you want the News Of Import™, we need a regular e-mail to send it to... Try as we might, the formatting gets trashed when we try to post it here...
So, I've been working on filks! Yay! Probably not such a great idea in class, but I'm having fun all the same. My voice is horrible, though, so if you know that anyone's interested in reading them, or singing them, let me know? I can't wait for the next episode! Keep on filking everyone!
Okay, I'm officially a filkcast junkie and I've actually started my first filk.... It's all your fault... Michael and Snape44 just HAD to tell me how to suck the vocals out of a song... The whole fandom can thank you guys for being exposed to the horrors of my voice... :-P
