This is really weird, but the Music Department got a call from Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland, to come look through a mysterious box found in a dormitory room in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland. It was a great trip! Inside the box we made an amazing discovery. There was a neatly wrapped and bowed present containing a cassette mix tape titled “HP’s Top of the Pops”. Apparently, the room belonged to a student named Hermione Jean Granger.
