Myron Wagtail was the lead singer of the wizarding world's popular band The Weird Sisters. He, along with his band, performed at the Yule Ball of 1994 held at Hogwarts in honour of the Triwizard Tournament. Little else is known about Myron or his bandmates.
Behind the scenes[]
- Jarvis Cocker portrayed Myron in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
- Jarvis also appeared in the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox as Petey along with Michael Gambon playing Franklin Bean, Helen McCrory playing Mrs. Bean, and Alexandre Desplat composing the music.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, a character named "Vocalist" can be unlocked. It is safe to assume that Wagtail is the "Vocalist".
Etymology[]
The name "Myron" is derived from Greek μυρον (myron) meaning "sweet oil, perfume". Myron was the name of a 5th-century BC Greek sculptor.
