Cocker To Play Potter Music

  • 21 October 2004

Former PULP star [Jarvis Cocker](https://www.contactmusic.com/jarvis-cocker) will lend his musical magic to the latest [Harry Potter](https://www.contactmusic.com/harry-potter) movie - he's signed up to score the soundtrack.

The charismatic singer - famous for flashing his backside at MICHAEL JACKSON during the THRILLER legend's performance at the 1996 BRIT AWARDS - is also on board to make a cameo appearance in HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE.

Cocker, along with Scots rockers [Franz Ferdinand](https://www.contactmusic.com/franz-ferdinand) have been picked to write music for the fourth installment of the boy wizard's adventures following director [Mike Newell](https://www.contactmusic.com/mike-newell)'s pledge to modernise the film's soundtrack.

And after Newell turned to young Harry Potter actor [Daniel Radcliffe](https://www.contactmusic.com/daniel-radcliffe) and his co-stars for inspiration, Cocker emerged top of the wish list.

A WARNER BROTHERS source says, "Everyone here is really excited about Jarvis being involved in Goblet Of Fire. He is a very talented musician who is a big fan of movies and knows exactly how they work."

The previous Harry Potter films were scored by Hollywood composer JOHN WILLIAMS, whose credits include [Star Wars](https://www.contactmusic.com/star-wars), [INDIANA JONES](https://www.contactmusic.com/indiana-jones) and ET: THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL.
