Though Celestina and her Banshees have been performing since late 2020, audience participation has been suspended since that time due to COVID-19.

During her regular show, Celestina has been performing just three of her songs — “A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love,” “Beat Back Those Bludgers, Boys, and Chuck That Quaffle Here,” and “You Stole My Cauldron But You Can’t Have My Heart.” Prior to 2020, she also performed “You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me,” but has been skipping this song for the last three years.

As of this week, “You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me” is back. At the beginning of this song, Celestina selects an audience member (usually a man) for her Banshees to bring on stage and dance with.

She even gives him her blue boa to wear.

“You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me” is the third song in Celestina’s performance, which guests can catch periodically throughout the day in Carkitt Market, an off-shoot of Diagon Alley.

In the winter, Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees also perform a selection of her holiday songs.

Celestina, a.k.a. “The Singing Sorceress,” is Molly Weasley’s favorite performing artist and she’s referenced a few times in the original “Harry Potter” novels. Celestina attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor.
