..What people are saying.....


"A tremendous film about the intriguing world of Harry Potter fandom. Alternatively funny and moving this is probably one of the best films I’ll see in 2008.”
--Laremy Legel, Film.com

"Heartfelt and hugely entertaining!" - Aaron Hillis, IFC News

"... a highly enjoyable illustration of how, even in the limited universe of pop culture, people create, refract and remix their own stories."
--Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

"You can't take your eyes off this fascinating documentary."
- This Week in New York

-V.A. Musetto, NY POST

"One of the funniest documentaries I've ever seen."

"Even if you’re not a fan of the Harry Potter series, the characters in We are Wizards will charm you and maybe even convert you to their perspective on the fantasy world of witches and muggles."
--Tim Basham, Paste Magazine

"We Are Wizards isn't so much about Harry Potter as it is about the power of stories to inspire creativity, act as a springboard for careers, and cope with tragedy."
-- Song Hia, Tiny Mix Tapes

"Koury does a masterful job emphasizing literacy and purity of spirit in Wizards, assembling an often delightful documentary that celebrates the tight cultural grip of Potter and its fringe pastimes."

SYNOPSIS:
"There is a raging Wizard Rock scene in this country, and I had no idea until watching the film We Are Wizards. The documentary profiles some of the power players in the underground Harry Potter creative community. I'm not talking sinister meetings in the woods about the Dark Arts. Instead, the film offers us a seven-year-old rock star and his teen pop idols, hilarious audio-commentary set to the movie and online creative writing sites waging war with corporate agents.

The books' themes of good versus evil and using inner strength to overcome challenges serve as a catalyst for many to face personal obstacles, or just to meet like-minded folk and have fun. It is staggering to learn of the different ways people touched by J.K. Rowling's book series are honoring the characters and story with their own ideas, passion and talents. The Harry Potter mythos allows the nerdy, the average, the young, the downtrodden, and the bored a chance to borrow a little inspiration and step out of their respective worlds to be a part of something BIG. Not to say the aforementioned groups are lacking in talent. The fan arena is simply a staging ground for sharpening skills and surprising oneself with the results - much like the epic story of a boy wizard."
