Jarvis to score Potter movie

Following the news last week that Franz Ferdinand are to contribute a song and possibly make an appearance in the next Harry Potter film, it was confirmed yesterday that Jarvis Cocker has been commissioned to write the movie's soundtrack. New director Mike Newell apparently wanted a less traditional composer for the fourth Potter movie - the previous films having been scored by prolific American composer John Williams. Word is Newell asked the film's young cast for recommendations, and Jarvis' name was high up the list.
