| | |  UPDATED: Franz Ferdinand to play The Weird Sisters in Goblet of Fire film
According to NME Magazine, Franz Ferdinand, an alternative rock band from Scotland, have been asked to write music for the fourth Potter film, 'Goblet of Fire'. Quote:
Singer Alex Kapranos saying the band could play a “band of ugly sisters”
He told VH1: "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."
He continued: "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."
They will be the second British rock act to make an appearance in a Potter film. Ian Brown, ex Stone Roses member had a cameo in 'Prisoner of Azkaban'. UPDATE: MTV have also run an article on the same matter. UPDATE 2 : The CBBC now also appear to have picked up on the news.

*sings* Take me out...
They would be awsome...I only know three songs from Franz Ferdinand, but I love those three songs!!!. It would be hilarous if they could play the weird sisters....
Now, about Ian Brown... am I wrong or is he the one that played "Quirrel" in movie one??? (Hart, you silly cow!!!!!!!!)
Now...who is Ian Brown in PoA... I remember reading about someone from a band there but who...*thinks*

Franz Ferdinand are perfect for this film. I know they don't look the part at the moment but I think their sound is right. The music they have done so far is very varied, ranging from indie, poppy to almost rock so I think they could do it. I've been wondering who was going to be chosen to do the Weird Sisters for some time, I even thought they might choose The Darkness!

That's like, the coolest thing I've ever heard. Can you just imagine Dumbledore dancing to Take Me Out? Awesome.

*pants* I don't think, I've ever been more excited about HP news other than times when JKR has given out release dates or new character info.
I LOVE Franz Ferdinand, I hope they're in the film!

I love Franz!! I am so excited, I hope they are in it! They did an interview with the local radio station when they were doing Upstart Fest Part 2 in Atlanta, and they said "This Fire" video would lead off from "Take Me Out" video. I have no clue what that was about, so I'll be lost again!
I really cant wait for this movie! 401 more days!!
