Harry at the movies (but not the real one...)

Hmm...interesting title huh? The truth is I'm still stuck on "Moulin 
Rouge" so please bear with me here. (I'm planning to see it again 
when I get the chance.)

Anyway, I've been thinking about what Harry Potter would be like if 
someone like Baz had directed it. Interesting to say the least! Chris 
Columbus still isn't my first choice but...well I don't really have a 
choice.

Anyway this got me to thinking what if Harry Potter were done as a 
musical. They would *have* to hire Caius, Pippin and the other great 
"filksters" as a collaborative team on the music. However if the 
song's lyrics couldn't be totally rewritten, and we had to use actual 
pop music to create the score, what songs would could be used and why?

I'm going to reflect on this and see if anyone responds and then give 
my suggestions...

Scott
