Founded in Norwood, Massachusetts, in 2002, the group is primarily composed of brothers Joe and Paul DeGeorge, both of whom perform under the persona of the title character from the Harry Potter book series.

The band is often backed up by musicians such as Ernie Kim, Andrew MacLeay, Brad Mehlenbacher, John Clardy, Mike Gintz, Jacob Nathan, Ben Macri, Phillip Dickey, Jason Anderson and Zach Burba. The band's most recent songs feature drummer Mike Harpring and bassist Paul Baribeau.

Harry and the Potters est un groupe de wizard rock américain, originaire de Norwood, dans le Massachusetts. Formé en 2002, le groupe transforme les romans de J. K. Rowling en chansons de rock, afin principalement de rendre le succès des livres plus accessible à travers de la musique.

Ce groupe se compose de deux membres, Joe DeGeorge et Paul DeGeorge ; le premier dit être Harry Potter dans sa quatrième année à Poudlard, le second est Harry dans sa septième année. D'autres membres ont complété le groupe, principalement des batteurs, mais ils ne sont pas restés de façon permanente. Harry and the Potters a créé un nouveau genre musical, le wizard rock, qui s'inspire de l'univers de Harry Potter.
