MOVIE NEWS ... HARRY POTTER MEETS LISA SIMPSON

Harry Potter is trading in his wand for fangs. Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the boy wizard in the Harry Potter franchise, will lend his voice to an episode of The Simpsons for a Twilight spoof, according to Entertainment Weekly. Executive producer Al Jean told the magazine that Radcliffe will play Edmund, a young vampire that captures Lisa's heart. But Homer and Edmund's father, Dracula, try to break up the romance. "Daniel was very excited to do The Simpsons," said Jean. "And we kept trying to ask him for secrets from the upcoming Harry Potter movie until we realized that they were all in the books." Radcliffe's episode will air as a part of next season’s "Treehouse of Horror XXI."
