JK Rowling Shines Spotlight on Less-Known Character ‘Celestina Warbeck’ in New Pottermore Story
Harry Potter fans now have a music idol to go gaga over - "Celestina Warbeck."
In her latest piece for the famous "Harry Potter" website "Pottermore.com," author J.K Rowling went on to shine the spotlight on one of Harry Potter's lesser-known characters , Celestina Warbeck - a star, a performer, a sorceress songstress.
Warbeck was never really seen in the books but apparently was a part of "Harry Potter" ever since its conception. Warbeck was a part of the "Daily Prophet" - a short-lived series that was written for an equally short-lived fan club.
But today, Pottermore went on to reveal some exclusive details of Celestina Warbeck. Reason? Apparently, it's her birthday today! Check out some cool facts about Celestina Warbeck below (courtesy: Pottermore.com)

Warbeck is pretty famous in the wizarding community. She is the muggle equivalent of Beyonce (probably). According to Today.com, she goes on frequent tours always appearing with a chorus of banshees behind her. Her concerts almost always sell out and her tickets often are sold in black.
Warbeck's blockbuster songs include "A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love" and "You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me." Her album "You Stole My Cauldron but You Can't Have My Heart" was apparently a global success.
She is famous for her strong voice and majestic style. One of her new singles is available on Pottermore.com now and Warbeck will soon be performing at the just inaugurated Diagon Alley at the Universal Studios' Orlando, Fla.
Here is a sneak peak of her performance at the studio:
