Radiohead perfect for boy wizard

DANIEL RADCLIFFE has said that Radiohead could have been the perfect group to appear on the soundtrack for the Harry Potter movies.

The actor, who plays the boy wizard in the big screen adaptations of the JK Rowling books, said it was "almost uncanny" how appropriate the records were to his character.

Speaking to the Daily Record, he said: "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.

"It's kind of angry and epic. It's angry in the sense that your life is beyond your control and you are in the middle of this maelstrom of politics and power. You have no control over that, and that's where part of Harry's anger comes from."
