During the seasons at Hogwarts, the Whomping Willow spends its time getting beat up by brooms, flying cars, and even the occasional snowstorm. In the muggle world however, he is known as Matt Maggiacomo, the front man of the band, The Whomping Willows. Inspired by the music of Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoys, Matt wrote and released “Seasonal Depression,” featured on Harry and the Potters’ Christmas compilation, “A Magical Christmas of Magic”.

Realizing the effect wizard rock had on the world, Matt decided to write and record music based on scenes in the life of the aggressive tree. As a result, he released The Whomping Willow’s self-titled debut album in 2006. Matt also continues to perform live shows, accompanied by Brian Ross and Bradley Mehlenbracher, most commonly known as Draco and the Malfoys.
