It does seem strange.  The only thing we've seen the kids reading for
pleasure is Ron's "pile of comics which all seemed to feature *The
Adventures of Martin Miggs, the Mad Muggle*", from Chamber of
Secrets.  

That same book gives us a glimpse of wizard radio: "[T]he old radio
next to the sink had just announced that coming up was 'Witching Hour,
with the popular singing sorceress, Celestina Warbeck'."  I'd like to
know more about wizard radio.  Does it come by magic through Muggle
radios in wizarding houses?  Or are wizard radios different,
constructed to pick up the magical channels?

Besides the Weird Sisters, we've heard of the Hobgoblins.  In Order of
the Phoenix, Harry reads in "The Quibbler" that one Doris Purkiss is
alleging that "Sirius Black is actually Stubby Boardman, lead singer
of popular singing group The Hobgoblins".

It does seem surprising that teenagers aren't more interested in the
world of entertainment -- particularly the Muggle-borns, who go still
spend summers in the Muggle world with TV, radio, CDs, movies, and
video games.
