Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter in the films of the same name, opines that Radiohead could be an unlikely fit for the soundtracks to the H.P. films.

“If you asked people what band they associated with Harry Potter, Radiohead wouldn’t be the first that sprang to mind, but funnily enough Radiohead’s albums could soundtrack the films,” says Radcliffe, via Scotland’s Daily Record. “Harry’s darkness is a very specific type of darkness and it’s Radiohead’s OK Computer or Amnesiac, and it’s Manic Street Preachers’ The Holy Bible and Hope of the States, The Lost Riots and it’s stuff like that.”

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is in U.S. theatres July 15 and no, it will not feature Jonny Greenwood’s follow-up to There Will Be Blood.

A source has told The Sun that the King of Pop dearly loves the Harry Potter series, and is one of the few owners of a first edition of the series debut, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Jackson “was utterly enchanted by the magic of J.K. Rowling’s novels. The tales of Harry and his pals in the books gripped him, he has followed them all religiously. He is a big admirer of the films too, he owns all the movies and he has bought memorabilia for his collection. He has also shown an interest in going to the premiere for the final instalment [sic] of the Potter films.”

As the biggest fan of the Boy Who Lived, Jackson has also invited Harry, Ron and Hermione themselves (that is, the actors portraying them) to meet him backstage at his upcoming concerts.  The source did not say whether or not Daniel Radcliffe’s turn in Equus lit this fire.
