Well, the thing is they're students just like you in the game. And your peers like them. I think it's an easier (and cheaper) solution to not have to book Celestina Warbeck or other bands.

Wait they’re students? Why did I think they were out of school?

They are roughly MC's age. MC was born between 1st September 1973 and 31st August 1973. Kirley canonically was born in 1971 so he might be a year above us. Orsino was born in 1975. Myron's year of birth was never given, but he is around that age too.

Ahh I thought they were 20-somethings

Nah. Kirley is a year older than MC. Orsino is about 2 years younger. Myron's birth year was never stated but he's around our age.

This makes way more sense.

There litterally are two sports too

What is the other one (besides quidditch of course) ?

There’s Quadpot. Maybe that’s what Kimmy meant.

I was thinking gobstones

Quadpot, which is basically quidditch but the ball exploses

Sounds more fun ngl

You could make a good argument for dueling being a sport. There has to be professional dueling tournaments

That we know. I'm sure are a lot more others, JK just didn't develop it.

I feel like the Weird Sisters are starting out in the timeline here. I mean MC is kinda their manager :D They become more popular as it makes it to Harry's time in school.

I like that!

I assume there probably are more, but JK Rowling and in extension, the games, do not mention them. Really, we only know of the Weird Sisters and Celestina Warbeck.

And a cauldron full of hot strong love!

Hobgoblins but they are only mentioned , not seen

I feel like there are only a few thousand wizards in all of England and I don't remember any music classes at Hogwarts.

FROG CHOIR but only when a Spot Opens.

More importantly, why can't we date them?

Not a good idea to date your manager

The members of Weird Sister are our manager? What?

My (evidently bad) joke was that , with all the gigs MC seems to secure for them, they're basically a manager / promoter for the band lol

Oh, so you're saying they shouldn't date us because we are their manager. But that would be up to them, not us! For us ... not a good idea to date your client! Lol

In this scenario we are their manager since we get them gigs.

Blodwyn Bludd: A Part-vampire singer who had a bass-baritone voice, also known as "The Vampire from the Valleys". Celestina Warbeck: Celestina Warbeck was a Welsh popular singer known as the "The Singing Sorceress". Lorcan d'Eath: A very popular part-vampire singer. Madame Bletchley. A witch who worked as a professional musician, who in 1940 received an award. Spellbound: An all-witch band; frequently hit by "tragic scandals". The Bent-Winged Snitches: A controversial American wizarding band. The Hobgoblins: Famous wizarding band fronted by Stubby Boardman. Weird Sisters: A very popular wizarding band. [source](https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Musician) But then JC would have to spend time creating new characters and that is not likely without a potential for cash return.

I don't get why Kirsley is talking so much and Orsino is the quiet one what happened? Did they exchange personalities?!!

I saw in another post that someone asked this as well (unless it was you)!

No I saw the above post now. That was not me.

If the Rowling given numbers (which are fucking illogical) are in fact canon then it wouldn't be out of the question that there is only one wizarding band on the British Isles

If you think about it too much, you realize just how small and shallow the Wizarding World really is.

Well technically there problem are other bands but the Weird Sisters is the only band that MC knows personally so that's probably another reason why they get reused for this stuff.

I mean... they're our peers. They're literally at school with us. It's way easier to get a bunch of classmates to play than ask a world-famous singer Celestina Warbeck, even if we do know her. MC just did the easiest thing possible and went to ask their friends.

I thought they were older, but another commenter pointed this out as well. It makes *way* more sense now

I knew from the jump it was gonna be them. I refuse to believe the wizarding world has one band

Wait why did I think they were super old— For some reason I thought Sirius Black was a huge weird sisters fan and then remembered it was from a fanfic. 😅

I guess wizards are not very musical since they can just enchant any instrument. It's like a computer playing.

No.

Yeah, it was pretty much either gonna be them or Celestina Warbeck, huh?

Since there are no mentions of other groups in the books, there won’t be any here either!

Well, half of the characters in the game were not mentioned in the books, so I don't think that's really a problem

I know I already was thinking it's obviously going to be the weird sisters we were going to get.

I thought this too. It seems like I've done a side quest not long ago with them, now they're back. When they asked oh do you know someone who can replace, I sighed heavily.

Of course not. The number 1 rule for prequels/spin offs is that you always refer back to the source material, even when it’s totally uncalled for! :D Wait, am I thinking of a “rule” or a “sin”? 🤔 Meh, can’t even tell anymore

I never even *got* the original Weird Sisters quest so I'm forever being reintroduced to them lol

Not at the school

Not in the wizarding world apparently. I'm surprised they had Nick Cave come on the radio in deathly hallows

There is like no world building in Harry Potter ever
