'Harry Potter' Author J.K. Rowling Writes New Piece on Singing Sorceress for Pottermore
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is giving her fans an inside look at another lesser-known character from the Harry Potter seres, Celestina Warbeck, in a new 500-word piece on pottermore.com.
Rowling nicknamed Warbeck the "singing sorceress" in the Harry Potter books and calls her "one of my favorite 'off-stage' characters in the whole series."
Along with the writing, Pottermore visitors will also have access to one of Celestina's tracks, "You Stole My Cauldron But You Can't Have My Heart." This is the first song that has been posted on the website.
The press release states: "Celestina is referenced in three of the Harry Potter books. The first mention is in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) when Harry hears her name on the Wizarding Wireless Network (wizard radio) while visiting the Weasley home. She's referenced again in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) when she appears on a wizarding radio Christmas broadcast and once more in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)."
Celestina is never seen during the whole seven volumes of the Potter books, but Rowling always imagined her to resemble Shirley Bassey in both looks and style.
Celestina Warbeck
Birthday: August 18
Wand: Larch and phoenix feather, 10 1/2 inches long, flexible
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Special abilities: Ability to drown out a chorus of banshees, tap-dancing, fancy baking

The internationally-acclaimed singing sensation Celestina Warbeck (sometimes known as 'the Singing Sorceress') hails from Wales. Her father, a minor functionary in the Muggle Liaison Office, met her Muggle mother (a failed actress) when the latter was attacked by a Lethifold disguised as a stage curtain.
