Lumos is Harry and the Potters' first full-length album since 2006's Harry and the Potters and the Power of Love. Using the magic of rock and roll, it chronicles the events of the seventh and final Harry Potter book where J.K. Rowling's teen wizard and his friends are on the run from a xenophobic, authoritarian regime and must work diligently to take down a dark wizard who capitalizes on fear and emboldens supremacist wizards. Lumos is an album for this political moment. For the parents raising a younger generation reading these books for the first time, it's an opportunity to connect the dots: the systems facilitating oppression in the wizard world - state-run media, children being separated from their mixed-blood parents, surveillance systems, and pureblood supremacy - strongly echo the daily reality of creeping neo-fascism. For the generation of Harry Potter fans that have grown up into a world where cartoonish villains occupy the halls of power, it's a reminder that there is a pathway forward. Now is the time for Dumbledore's Army, for the Order of the Phoenix. We are being called upon to become the heroes that this moment necessitates.
