Franz Ferdinand not appearing in Harry Potter film

Franz Ferdinand have pulled out of a planned appearance in the next Harry Potter movie. As previously reported, the soundtrack to the next Potter adventure is being put together by Jarvis Cocker, who has invited the Ferdinand to record a track for the film. As part of that arrangement there was talk of the band having cameo appearances in a musical sequence in the film itself. However, according to the Mirror, the band have now turned down that opportunity - presumably preferring a fight scene. Jarvis himself and Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood will now appear in the music scene.
