After three albums, and several EPs, including one from the Wizard Rock EP of the Month club, Harry and the Potters decided to record another EP for the EP of the Month Club. On May 14–16, the brothers wrote an EPs worth of songs. The brothers recorded the extended play in their parents' basement, capturing the songs on a Portastudio TASCAM 424.[2] According to Paul DeGeorge, the album is mainly "about weird inconsistencies and silly nitpicking [in the Harry Potter novels]."[2][3]
Fourteen songs were recorded, but only ten songs were included. The songs "My New School," "Unicorn Blood," "Touch the Brains," and "Maybe Kreacher Will Bring Me a Sandwich" were later released on the compilation album Priori Incantatem. Paul DeGeorge later stated that the songs didn't feel right for the EP.[4]
