The post below this is an April Fools joke!  Haha!

Sad news everyone. After nearly 6 years as Harry and the Potters, we've decided to call it quits. It has been an incredible journey and we want to thank each and every one of your for being a part of it!

We always knew our band had a finite time-frame in which to work, and with the publication of the 7th and final Harry Potter book last summer, Joe and I found ourselves split on a future direction for the band. So even though creative differences have torn us apart as a band, we want you to know that we're still best pals and we're still brothers, so everything will be OK. There is just no more Harry and the Potters to look forward to.

But, it's not all bad news! Freedom from the constraints of HATP has allowed creativity to again flourish, and I'm happy to report that Joe and I will both be releasing solo records!

Both albums will be available starting June 25th.  Watch our website for details.

Thank you again for 6 awesome years!  We will miss you!

Your friends,

Paul and Joe (x-Harry and the Potters)
