Writing and recording

After three albums, Paul DeGeorge of Harry and the Potters decided to start a subscription-based Wizard Rock EP of the Month club. During March, 2007, the brothers decided to record write as many songs as possible and record them in one weekend.[2] The brothers recorded the songs in their living room. The album was later released on July 2007 through the Wizard Rock EP of the Month Club.[1]

Some of the songs on the EP were actually written before March 2007. "Harry Potter" was written on the band's very first tour and a demo of "Rocking at Hogwarts" was featured on the band's Mail Songs #1.[3] The demo of the latter contains the first recorded mention of the term "wizard rock."[4]
