Snape, Snape, Severus Snape, DUMBLEDORE! Harry Potter fans have created their own unique musical and artistic responses to the series, with productions like Potter Puppet Pals, A Very Potter Musical, Puffs, and Wizard Rock. I argue that these musical interpretations add connections to the original story and create a unique experience for its audience due to its multimodal production and its contribution to the transmedia canon of the books.
