— Myron introducing the song[src]

Biography[]

Wagtail was born some time in the year 1970, in Great Britain or Ireland. Attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the year 1981 or 1982, he founded the Weird Sisters alongside his friends Orsino Thruston and Kirley Duke. He was a self-proclaimed fan of Jacob's sibling and invited them to perform with his band without the knowledge of the Hogwarts staff. The band and Jacob's sibling used Ismelda Murk, Ben Copper, and Severus Snape as inspiration for their concert. Myron and Rowan Khanna shared an interest in postmodern existentialist fiction.[3]

During the 1997–1998 school year, Charlie Weasley and Jacob's sibling wanted to throw a party at The 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 the Yule Ball of 1994 held at Hogwarts in honour of the Triwizard Tournament, by which time the band had at least eight members.[5]

Physical description[]

Myron as a student

Myron had brown hair, and wore heavy black clothes with an exaggerated belt buckle. Severus Snape once said that he looked like a half-shaven Hippogriff.[6] On his Chocolate Frog Card, he was dressed in a Georgian-era outfit, with an exaggerated black hairstyle and purple robes.

Magical abilities and skills[]

  • Charms: Wagtail appeared to be talented with charms, as he was able to use the Music Spell to enchant instruments to play on their own accord, and could use the Amplifying Charm to amplify the sound of his voice whilst performing.[3] He was even capable of conjuring a non-corporeal Patronus,[2] a clear mark of superior magical skill and talent given the immense difficulty of casting such a powerful protective charm.
  • Transfiguration: Wagtail was skilled enough with Transfiguration to be able to cast the Cauldron to Guitar Spell and teach it to Jacob's sibling.[3]
  • Singing: Being the lead vocalist for the very popular wizarding band the Weird Sisters, Wagtail was a very talented and capable singer and live music performer.

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.
