- "I'd sing carols while we play, but I don't need to distract you to win."
- — Rowan Khanna talking about beating Jacob's sibling at Wizard's Chess[src]
The Hogsmeade choir singing carols
Carols are a genre of festive music, similar to hymns, that are usually sung at occasions with religious significance like Christmas or Easter.[1] Both wizardkind and non-magic people sung carols, although the carols of one group were usually not very well known to the other, with wizarding carols having generally non-religious themes compared to non-magic people's carols.[2]
History[]
Rowan Khanna knew how to sing various carols, and threatened to distract Jacob's sibling from playing Wizard's Chess by singing carols, but then claimed they could beat their friend without having to.[3]

During the Hogwarts staff's attempts to impress the visiting schools of Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic during the 1994–1995 Triwizard Tournament, they bewitched all the suits of armour in the Castle to sing carols, though they frequently forgot words.[6]
