Hi, Valky! The Weird Sisters (as in Wyrd, Fate, of course) were the three witches in 
MACBETH. This is quite probably the reason for the name of the WW rock group.

One of the things I love about the HP series, all these cultural references which children 
will either go and look up or will, eventually, come across and say, "Hey, I read this ages 
ago in HP! Great!"
