Hardcore fans will not be taken aback by this name, as she has always been part of the Potterverse since the very beginnings. Writes Rowling on Pottermore:

"Celestina Warbeck is one of my favourite 'off-stage' characters in the Harry Potter series, and has been part of the Potter world ever since its inception, making an early appearance in the short-lived 'Daily Prophet' series I produced for members of the equally short-lived fan club run by my British publisher, Bloomsbury. Although we never lay eyes on Celestina during the whole seven volumes of the Potter books, I always imagined her to resemble Shirley Bassey in both looks and style. I stole her first name from a friend with whom I worked, years ago, at Amnesty International's Headquarters in London; 'Celestina' was simply begging to be scooped up and attached to a glamorous witch."

Celestina Warbeck, daughter to a Wizard father and failed actress Muggle mother, was a singing prodigy from a young age and went on to gather great acclaim in a variety of magical and non-magical fields as well as charity - though to say more would be spoiling.
