Wizard Waltz was a gramophone album released on the Spell-O-Fonix label,[2] which featured a slow, orchestral waltz.[1] The label sticker on the record warned that it "may cause serious dancing fever on the dance floor," that it will "subject to make you rumba your bumba," and that it "may cause magical moves."[2]
History[]
Remus Lupin owned a copy of this record,[3][4][5] as did Minerva McGonagall, who had Argus Filch play it during a dance lesson she gave the Gryffindors in preparation for the Yule Ball in 1994.[1][2]
Behind the scenes[]
- The design of the label on the prop record featured in the films was based on a label design used circa 1950 by Cetra Records,[6] an Italian company which released opera recordings from the 1930s to the 1960s.[7] An identical design was used for the prop record Witchita Banana from the made-up label Incantation Records.
