The theme tune to that TV show is a cover version of The Smiths' "How Soon
Is Now" by Love Spit Love.

Me too ... (aaaargh!)

Here are my suggestions for various characters' personal themes...I couldn't
choose just one!

"The Boy With The Thorn In His Side"/"Accept Yourself"/"This Night Has
Opened My Eyes"/"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" (Harry)

"Ask"/"Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" (Dudley)

"What She Said"/"Girl Afraid" (Hermione)

"Back To The Old House"/"Barbarism Begins At Home" (The Dursleys)

"The Headmaster Ritual" (Dumbledore)

"Sweet and Tender Hooligan" (Hagrid)

"There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" (The Potters)

"Bigmouth Strikes Again" (Lockhart)

"Panic" (Ginny)

"Half A Person" (Flitwick)

"I Started Something I Couldn't Finish"/"Still Ill" (Voldemort)

"Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" (Madame Maxime)

"I Want The One I Can't Have" (Ron)

"Handsome Devil" (Cedric)

"Miserable Lie" (Snape)

If we extend this game to Morrissey's solo career, perhaps "Ouija Board,
Ouija Board" for Trelawney and "November Spawned A Monster" for Voldemort?

Apologies to any non-Smiths fans out there...
