Abby Ritter is a wizard rocker (and a Hufflepuff) from Worcester, MA. She makes nerdy music about Harry Potter and being queer. Her album, "Live at Malfoy Manor," can be found at abbyritter.bandcamp.com. When she's not working at the customer service desk at a Mischief Management convention, Abby can be found working as a board-certified music therapist. Her interests include piña coladas, getting caught in the rain, and watching an unhealthy amount of YouTube. Ask her about her favorite podcast animatics.
