Full Version: Franz Ferdinand in GoF
Phoenix Song > Perch: All Things Harry Potter > The Films

Does anybody know anything about Franz Ferdinand being in the GoF film? I was watching Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, and in their "Grab the Ads" section, they asked the question: Which band will be appearing in the new Harry Potter film: Keane or Franz Ferdinand?

The correct answer was Franz Ferdinand, and I was wondering if anybody knew anything about their part in the film? They are a band, and I can't think of any moment in the film where they would be appearing as a band, apart from at the Yule Ball, where they may be used instead of the Weird Sisters.

Anyone heard anything about their part?

GOF Film News: Franz Ferdinand to play Weird Sisters Band?

UK group Franz Ferdinand has reportedly been asked to write some music for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire film. In NME magazine, singer Alex Kapranos is quoted as saying:

"We've been asked to write some music. There's a section where there's a band of ugly sisters playing and I think, well...some members of Franz Ferdinand may be the ugly sisters in the band...There's an excitement and innocence about those films. I like how there's good and evil, and that's a clarity which is quite refreshing."

Thanks Ceri!
