Former Members

Gareth Aubrey Left due to "Creative Differences." Is currently pursuing a solo career which is doing quite well in Japan, though his Japanese fiancee was killed by a Imperiused Meaghan McCormack in the summer of '98. He's still having a tough time with that one. Gareth met Myron almost immediately after Myron left school and he joined The Weird Sisters early on in their career. Being a few years older than Myron and much older than most of the other band members, he was often dissatisfied with them, claiming the band was "too immature" and "driving him crazy." After a large argument in the recording studio while working on the second album, Aubrey finally left the band, which surprised no one. He claims "creative differences" while they claim it was "that git's ruddy enormous ego."

Fun Facts about the Weird Sisters

Original drummer Gareth Aubrey left the band due to "creative differences" during the recording of the second album.
Lead Guitarist Kirley Duke is the son of famous Quidditch star Catronia McCormack and brother to World Cup star Meaghan McCormack.
Kirley Duke was made several offers from Professional Quidditch teams but turned them down to pursue music.
Donaghan was married in the fall of 1995. He and his wife separated for two years, though are now back together.
Heathcote has been charged with being in possession of dragonclaw more than two dozen times.
While playing with his previous band in an "alternative lifestyles club," Orsino was approached by Myron and believed him to be hitting on the drummer at first.
Merton left school after his OWLS and never took NEWTS.
The entire Tremlett family is vegetarian
Gideon Crumb worked at a zoo as a zoo-keeper and occasionally playing concerts with his brother. He was discovered there by the Weird Sisters where Herman and Heathcote recognized him from school, and soon after he joined the band.
The band was targeted by an unknown assailant during the Second War in the summer of 1998. Former member Gareth Aubrey's fiancee was killed by presumably the same assailant.
Merton Graves has never done an interview without the full band. He once fell asleep during a full-band interview.
Heathcote Barbary was jailed for a month during the summer of 2001 for possession of powdered dragon's claw.
Gideon Crumb was once kidnapped by an ex-lover who claimed she was behind the attacks of 1998.
Donaghan Tremlett briefly dated Gwenog Jones of the Holyhead Harpies during his separation in 1997. They still remain good friends.
"Expectation" was written by Gideon Crumb in midst of a breakup.
The extra song "Heathcote Smokes Dragoncrack" that was only on the Wizarding-release of the Muggle Album is considered highly ironic since he went to jail for dragoncrack barely a month after the tour ended.
