Just started this for a bit of a laugh.
Just Potter-esque singles, albums, songs, whatever.
David Bowie did a song called "Letter to Hermione" very early in his career.
I didnt know this, just a mate of mine pointed it out last friday whilst we
were boozing. (He had snorted in contempt when I recommended the books to
him. Now he cant get enough of JKR's output !)

Actually, "Letter to Hermione" was a really good song. It's off his
1969 "Space Oddity" album. What's funny is that the only "glam" song
off that album is the title song. The rest of the album is kind of
"middle-of-the-road".

There are a couple of others in the same genre: Black Sabbath (1970)
"The Wizard" (good album BTW) and Uriah Heep (1972 ) "Demons and
Wizards"

Fleetwood Mac (in their early days) charted with "The Green Manalishi
with a Two-Pronged Crown". Now, I know that technically we haven't
read about such a creature yet in the Harry Potter books, but it's such
a good name for a monster that I thought I'd include it here. :-)
Cheers,
Andy
