...but heaven knows he's miserable now...

Just learned today (I forget where, so sue me) that J.K. Rowling's favorite band is The Smiths.

Why do I suspect this means Very Depressing Things in Harry Potter's future?

Well, if you extend it to Morrissey: a good song for either Colin Creevey or Ginny Weasley would be "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get."

when you sleep/I will creep/into your thoughts/like a bad debt/take the easy way and give in/let me in.

You know, I've had that song stuck in my head all day?

Cripes, considering some of Morrissey's lyrics about public school ("The Headmaster Ritual"), I have great fear for what lies ahead.

Oh no. Am coming up with entire spoof based on Smiths lyrics. JK's already done "Girlfriend in a Coma" (Chamber of Secrets). Stop me before I go any farther!

Harry Potter: The First Four Years
A Musical!
with music by The Smiths!

oh, lordie... the sad thing is that quite a few of the songs seem to apply to *gulp* Voldemort.

*trots off with a handful of Smiths CDs*

Personally...

I'd like to see The Smiths' Harry Potter Musical Extravaganza as well.

I second RJ's "do it, do it"! :)

And Pretty Girls Make Graves

First half closer, a requiem for Harry's mother (sung as a descant) counterpointed with the evil Mrs Lestrange plotting the capture and torture of the Longbottoms (remainder of the choir).
