Biography[]
Myron Wagtail on hisChocolate Frog Card
Wagtail was born some time in the year1970, inGreat Britain orIreland. AttendingHogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the year1981 or1982, he founded the Weird Sisters alongside his friendsOrsino Thruston andKirley Duke. He was a self-proclaimed fan ofJacob's sibling and invited them to perform with his band without the knowledge of the Hogwarts staff. The band and Jacob's sibling usedIsmelda Murk,Ben Copper, andSeverus Snape as inspiration for theirconcert. Myron andRowan Khanna shared an interest in postmodern existentialist fiction.[2]
During the1987–1988 school year,Charlie Weasley and Jacob's sibling wanted to throw a party atThe Burrow and invited Myron and the Weird Sisters to play for them. Myron was in a creative slump when Jacob's sibling asked, but when Jacob's sibling reminded them of the unnerving things in life, it cheered Myron up and he agreed to play. During the party he gave Jacob's sibling a special shout out from the stage as thanks.[4]
Wagtail, along with his band, performed at theYule Ball of1994 held atHogwarts in honour of theTriwizard Tournament, by which time the band had at least eight members.[5]
