not a spoiler at all, it doesn't give away any of the plot.

The rest of the band were quite well-known as well but there wasn't
time to identify them on the screen. In the book the band is called
the Wyrd Sisters but apparently some Canadian folk band had snagged
that title and sued Warner Bros for using it (cough cashin cough). So
I don't think the band in the movie were credited. In the end the
Canucks lost the lawsuit (probably because Shakespeare thought up the
name) but it was too late to save the credit.

(I thought it was an okay movie. Very rushed, trying to cram
everything in... Lots happens in that HP book, which is more than you
can say for some of the others. Book III had huge long chunks of
exposition at the end which really took and effort to plough through.
I dont know what they are going to do with Book VI. That's nearly all
flashbacks. )
