The soundtrack to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (or Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States, India, and Pakistan) was released on 30 October 2001. The film's score was composed and conducted by John Williams. The soundtrack was nominated for Best Original Score at the 74th Academy Awards. The film introduces many character-specific themes (leitmotifs) that are used in at least one sequel as well, although most of the themes are only used again in Chamber of Secrets. These themes include two themes for Voldemort, two themes for Hogwarts, a Diagon Alley theme, a Quidditch theme, a flying theme, a friendship theme, and the main theme ("Hedwig's Theme"). This main theme can be found in all of the films although not usually in its unaltered state. The soundtrack was certified Gold in Canada (50,000 units) by the Canadian Recording Industry Association on 14 December 2001.[1] The soundtrack was performed at Air Lyndhurst Studios and Abbey Road Studios in London. It entered the Billboard 200 at No. 48, and also charted at No. 2 on the Top Soundtracks Chart.[2]

"Hedwig's Theme"




A selection from the iconic "Hedwig's Theme" from the Harry Potter films
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problems playing this file? See media help.
"Hedwig's Theme" is the leitmotif for the film series. Often labelled as the series' main theme, it was first featured in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the track "Prologue". A concert arrangement of the same name is featured in the end credits. "Hedwig's Theme" has been interpolated throughout the rest of the Harry Potter film scores, from those by Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hooper, and Alexandre Desplat. It is also featured in the scores to the last four Harry Potter video games, all composed by James Hannigan. "Hedwig's Theme" has achieved significant pop culture status, being featured as ring tones, trailer music, and other forms of multimedia.
Track No. 10 concludes with "A Change of Season", although in the film, the season's change had occurred before the aforementioned Norwegian Ridgeback (Norbert) had hatched.
Track No. 18 is also featured during the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 as a tribute to Williams and the series' end.

The Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets original motion picture soundtrack was released on 12 November 2002. The score was originally slated to be composed and conducted entirely by John Williams, but due to scheduling conflicts with the scoring of Steven Spielberg's film Catch Me If You Can, composer William Ross was brought in to adapt Williams' music and conduct the scoring sessions with the London Symphony Orchestra and Jeremy Soule was bought in to help write original themes.
From what can be heard in the soundtrack, there are six new themes, representing "Fawkes the Phoenix", "The Chamber of Secrets", "Gilderoy Lockhart", "Dobby the House Elf", "The Spiders", and "Moaning Myrtle".
Upon its release, the soundtrack was available in one of five different collectible covers. Each cover featured a different character or characters packaged above the main cover featuring Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
The soundtrack was a Grammy Award nominee for the Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media in 2003. It charted on the Billboard 200 at 81, and also charted at 5 on the Top Soundtracks Chart.[1]
Though it does not appear on the soundtrack album, the Quidditch scene features a passage of a cue from Zam the assassin and the chase through coruscant, a track from the soundtrack to Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, another score by Williams which was released earlier in the same year. It is not known why the cue was used, however it is likely that the cue was used due to time constraints.

It charted at #68 on the Billboard 200 and also charted at #3 on the Top Soundtracks Chart.[1]
The album was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score, the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media and the World Soundtrack Award for Best Original Score of the Year.

Track details[edit source]
"Double Trouble"[edit source]
It was composed by John Williams during the film's production as he felt it to be a warm welcome back to Hogwarts. The song was sung by the London Oratory School Schola. This song's lyrics are taken directly from William Shakespeare's Macbeth.
"Buckbeak's flight"[edit source]
A popular track among fog.
"Forward to Time Past"[edit source]
The track is heard when Hermione and Harry use the Time-Turner to go back in time. During the whole piece a ticking sound is heard, indicating that time is running out. Loads of flourishing strings over-lap the four note motif that the brass repeat rhythmically, and lastly the little bursts of woodwind throughout enforce the sensation of movement.
"The Dementors Converge"[edit source]
This music is heard when Harry is attempting to save Sirius Black from the Dementors. The piece mainly consists of discordant wavering strings at the beginning, but as it progresses, Williams weaves punctuating piccolos and long notes of brass that gradually build up the menacing tension. This rises to a climax where thunderous clusters of timpani and hair-raising choir are introduced only to die back down, followed by an atmospheric flutter from the harp. The strings then lead into another extremity which uses bits and pieces from John Williams' "The Patronus Light", interjected by harsh grating brass. The music appears to die off again instantly; however, the familiar sound of lush strings and celesta (so prominent in John Williams' earlier scores for these films) subdue the tension afore.
"Finale"[edit source]
This is probably best known for appearing in the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire trailer.
Responses and ratings[edit source]
The album was well received among film music critics. Archie Watt of MovieCues highly praised the score, calling it "One of the best albums of 2004, and well worth a listen by any film music or John Williams fan."[2]

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on 15 November 2005. The film's score was not composed by John Williams as were the previous three films, but by Patrick Doyle. This was done because Williams reported having certain schedule problems, as he scored music for 2005's Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Memoirs of a Geisha, Munich, and Steven Spielberg's remake of War of the Worlds.[citation needed]
The music was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, and included three main new themes: one to represent the Triwizard Tournament, one to represent Lord Voldemort, and one to represent Harry Potter's crush on Cho Chang. It also features an ominous reprisal of the familiar "Hedwig's Theme". A prominent minor theme is presented in "The Death of Cedric".[1] The soundtrack entered the Billboard 200 at position eighty, and also charted at four on the Top Soundtracks Chart.[2]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the soundtrack to the 2007 film of the same name, based on the book by J. K. Rowling. Nicholas Hooper composed the film's score, following John Williams, who scored the first three films, and Patrick Doyle who did the fourth. Though new to the series, he has worked with director David Yates before. The soundtrack was released 10 July 2007, the day before the film's release.[1]

Development[edit source]
Hooper incorporated into the new score "Hedwig's Theme", the series' theme originally written by John Williams for the first film and heard in all the subsequent films.[2] In March and April 2007, Hooper and the London Chamber Orchestra recorded nearly two hours of music at Abbey Road Studios in London. Two new main themes were made to reflect the new character Dolores Umbridge and Lord Voldemort's invasion of Harry's mind. A Japanese Taiko drum was used for a deeper sound in the percussion.[2] The trailer features a track by X-Ray Dog, entitled Divine Crusade. Divine Crusade first appeared on the album K-9 Empire before being licensed to Order of the Phoenix.
Hooper said he reviewed the previous soundtracks of the Harry Potter films by John Williams, particularly the third soundtrack, but ultimately "decided that it was best if I moved into my own way of composing rather than trying to emulate John Williams, which is impossible."[3]
Release[edit source]
The soundtrack was also released in a special edition, with a custom hinged box with Navy velveteen fabric. Inside the box is a 20-page booklet with a foil-embossed front cover.[4]
Reception[edit source]
Critical reaction to the score was fairly mixed compared to the previous scores in the series. Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks awarding the score three stars out of five, saying "...it fails to provide continuity within either its own confines or those of the franchise as a whole".[5] Archie Watt of MovieCues said "This isn’t a bad score by any means, but there can be little argument that it is the weakest of all the Harry Potter scores to date".[6]
Chart performance[edit source]
The soundtrack debuted at number 43 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling about 16,000 copies in its first week and has since sold a total of 356,000 copies in U.S. and a million copies worldwide.[7][8] The soundtrack also charted at five on the Top Soundtracks Chart.[9]
Track listing[edit source]
The cues presented on the commercial release do not follow the order they are heard in the film. In the film, the cues are heard in the following order: 3, 4, 17, 15, 10, 13, 2, 16, 5, 8, 9, 14, 1, 11, 6, 12, 7, 18.

Not included on the soundtrack were Friends And Love (a compilation of When Ginny Kissed Harry and Harry and Hermione, that came with purchasing a ticket for the movie on Fandango), Big Beat Repeat (heard in the Gryffindor common room after the Quidditch match) and a Track that could be named «Murder & Escape» (Music that can be heard when Dumbledore falls from the Astronomy Tower and Harry pursues Snape) by John Powell.
Track details[edit source]
The orchestral ensemble for Hooper in The Half-Blood Prince is the same from the previous score, but a more significant role for light choir is a prominent addition. Thematically, the composer references his own ideas from the previous score and several elements from Williams' work.
Of the tracks displayed, two do not appear in the final film; "In Noctem" and "Wizard Wheezes". Two tracks from the previous film were added to the final film: "Fireworks" and "Dumbledore's Army". "In Noctem" was scored and filmed for the death at the end of the film, but did not make the final cut.
Hooper stated that "Placing John Williams' themes became obvious as we went along. The beginning of the film has to have at least a hint of Hedwig's Theme".
"Opening": After a brief quotage of "Hedwig's Theme", in which Hooper lift one note by semi-tone, elements of light choir are introduced. The use of Hooper's choral theme throughout the score is a reference to Dumbledore and the events that would entail, regarding his character and the climax of the film. A driving theme which reoccurs in "Into the Rushes" is used here to represent the Death Eaters and the havoc that they inflict in this sixth film. Hooper extends his use of percussion, with violent off-beat anvil that cuts through the repetitively propulsive, galvanic string figure.
"Ron's Victory": Hooper uses several variations on themes from Williams' piece "Quidditch, Third Year".
"Inferi in the Firestorm": Hooper not only utilises whirls of dissonant strings, but an orchestral sound that Williams used previously in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban particularly in the tracks "The Dementors Converge" and "Finale".
"Dumbledore's Farewell" is reused in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 theme "Severus and Lily", which is used in the scene where Harry views Snape's memories in the Pensieve.

Development[edit]
The score for Deathly Hallows – Part 1 is composed by Golden Globe award winning and Academy Award nominated film composer, Alexandre Desplat.[3] Desplat follows John Williams, Patrick Doyle and Nicholas Hooper in composing music for the Harry Potter series. Williams composed the first three films, Doyle scored the fourth film, while Hooper worked on the soundtracks for the fifth and sixth films.[4][5] Desplat stated that he would compose until September 2010, with the soundtrack being released on 16 November 2010, three days before the film's release date. A 3-disc Limited Edition Collector's Box Set was also released on 21 December 2010.
In an interview, Desplat mentioned the inclusion of John Williams' Hedwig's Theme on the soundtrack. He said, "We will start this summer, it will take me all summer. I will not have many holidays, but again it's for good reason - for the soundtrack. I would take every opportunity to use the fabulous theme composed by John Williams. I'd say it has not sufficiently been used in the latest movies, so if I have the opportunity and if the footage allows me, I'm going to arrange it...I shall make it with great honour and pleasure." Director David Yates also talked about the use of Hedwig's Theme in the film, stating that the theme would be present during "anything that felt like we were being nostalgic or in a way reflective of the past." He went on by saying that the tone of the theme was altered to be inline with the mood of the film, as he "wanted it to feel like it was all getting a bit distressed. We wanted to sort of fuck it up a bit."[6] Desplat commented on the other various major themes that he developed for the soundtrack, saying "Since Harry, Ron and Hermione are now on the road being chased by the dark forces of Voldemort, they are never twice in the same place. They are constantly on the move. I alternate between themes by situation or location (the Ministry of Magic, the Sky Battle, the Burrows); themes by characters: Dobby, Dumbledore, Voldemort, Bathilda Bagshot, Lovegood, or several other characters; the Oblivation theme, which conveys their loss of innocence, as well as the sense of danger and will be the leading them through their exodus; and themes for magical devices (the Detonators, the Locket, the Deathly Hallows)."[7]
The recording sessions started on 14 August 2010. Conrad Pope, one of the orchestrators on the first three Potter films and the supervising orchestrator on Deathly Hallows, commented that Desplat's music is "exciting and vigorous". He added on his Facebook profile that "Harry flies, fights and conjures. All accompanied by the distinctive, definitely non-generic voice of Desplat. Those who love melodies, harmonies and emotions in their film scores should be pleased. Reminds one of the old days."[8]
Not included on the soundtrack is "O Children" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. David Yates accompanied it to a scene developed by screenwriter Steve Kloves, where Harry and Hermione share a dance in their tent after Ron leaves to "capture the tension and friendship and love that they share together."[9] Because the scene wasn’t in the book and presented a "sub-text that something might or might not happen between Harry and Hermione", it was decided it couldn't be a tune that had been used in film or on television before, or a song that would "pull you out of the wizard world and into ours."[10] Aiming for an "old soul song" along the lines of James Carr and Otis Redding, and more modern material such as Oasis and Radiohead, it was determined these musicians offered too much of the "Muggle world".[11] Yates listened to "about 300"[12] tracks from Music Supervisor Matt Biffa, "because I needed a piece of music that was poignant and tender but oddly uplifting. And I came across Nick's piece and I loved it immediately. It has that capacity to lift you up and break your heart at the same time. My biggest fear was playing it for Dan [Radcliffe] and Emma [Watson], cause I thought, 'God, are they going to understand?’ Because it was important to me that they understand the music as well, that they felt it. So I played it for them and it was my most nervous moment, and I played it for them and I was like, 'Oh God, are they going to like it?’ and they loved it."[13]

The reception for the soundtrack of Part 1 was overall positive. The first review of the soundtrack was released on 31 October 2010 by Jonathan Broxton, who rated the score 5/5, saying that "This score is one of Desplat’s greatest achievements and highlights everything I love about his work; the orchestral textures, the intricate use of unexpected instruments in unexpected settings, the crystal clarity of his orchestrations."[14] Jorn Tillnes of Soundtrackgeek.com gave the score a 9/10 and remarked, "When challenged, Desplat brings out some great stuff as he proved with New Moon last year. It is a well-written score that fits perfectly with the darker Harry Potter."[15] Caleb Leland of Shadowlocked.com gave the soundtrack 4/5 stars, stating that "While this is a good soundtrack, there’s something about it that keeps it from being great. But it did make me more excited to see the new film."[16]
Steve Ewing from Filmmusicsite.com rated the soundtrack 7/10, commenting that "Desplat was really on to something when he wrote this soundtrack, and perhaps if he had given it a little more thought, he would have recognized how close he had come to writing something outstanding. Instead, the soundtrack’s musical gems come and go and never fully develop, leaving the listener disappointed by how close the soundtrack came to musical greatness."[17] Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks reviewed the score on 5 November 2010 and praised the orchestrations for the film but heavily criticized the sparse use of Hedwig's Theme and the poor continuity in the score when compared to previous entries in the series.[18] Charlotte Gardner from BBC commented that "Pope's orchestration is a work of genius, heightening the music's drama with a myriad of different instrumental colours" and the score "is equally affective – menacing, comforting, magic-tinged, powerful and fragile all in one. It's particularly striking for its smooth beauty, which remains present even when painting scenes dripping with evil or fraught with pain." She went on to say that "so far, so very good. However, there is one single but sizeable question mark over whether this recording is going to completely hit the spot for Potter fans. This is a work more intent on painting an atmosphere than in giving the listener motivic handles on which to grasp."[19]
Eric Goldman from IGN wrote, "Desplat's score starts off extremely strong with 'Obliviate', which immediately sets the scene for a sad, mournful story – which is entirely appropriate, given the content of The Deathly Hallows Part 1... On one hand, it's a bit sad to not hear the wonderful Potter theme much, yet on the other hand, this is, after all, a somber story. Desplat's melancholy themes, while not always as hummable as Williams', are exactly right for this film and story."[20] James Christopher Monger from Allmusic gave a positive review, stating, "It’s been a decade since John Williams set the tone for the [Harry Potter] films, and his original theme exists only in the shadows of Harry Potter & Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1. Desplat’s score is both subtle and huge, lending quiet emotional depth ('Harry & Ginny'), playful wickedness ('Death Eaters'), and tense, robust action ('The Oblivation') with masterful precision. Film series that employ this many different composers (and directors, for that matter) rarely find cohesion, and this first installment of Deathly Hallows does nothing in the way to tarnish that achievement."[21] The soundtrack debuted at number 74 on the Billboard 200 chart in United States and also charted at number four on the Top Soundtracks Chart.[22]

Development[edit]
It was confirmed on the Warner Bros. website that Part 1 composer, Alexandre Desplat, would return to score Part 2.[1] In an interview with Film Music Magazine, Desplat stated that scoring Part 2 is "a great challenge" and that he has "a lot of expectations to fulfill and a great deal of work" ahead of him.[2] Desplat started writing the music in early 2011 and finished recording with orchestrator Conrad Pope and the London Symphony Orchestra on 27 May 2011 at Abbey Road Studios, as stated on Pope's official Facebook page.[3] The actress, Evanna Lynch, confessed in 2011's LeakyCon that she was invited to the scoring sessions, when Desplat was recording the music for the Gringotts sequence.
The main theme of the film, Lily's Theme was performed by Mai Fujisawa, daughter of Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi.[4] In the film, several tracks are re-used from previous Harry Potter films, which are not included in the released soundtrack: a variant of Hedwig's Theme, originally composed by John Williams, which plays during a scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is used twice in Part 2. The first time is when Harry, Ron and Hermione meet with their friends in the Room of Requirement. Critics have claimed that this has added strongly to the deep, moving feelings made and the sense of hope given to the audience. The second time is when Snape is sent out of the castle and the Order of the Phoenix takes over control. Dumbledore's Farewell, composed by Nicholas Hooper for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is connected to Desplat's Severus and Lily track which plays during The Prince's Tale sequence. A variant of Hooper's The Kiss from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix also makes an appearance throughout the Hogwarts viaduct scene. The final scene of Part 2, set nineteen years into the lives of the trio, features Leaving Hogwarts composed by Williams followed by the suite of Hedwig's Theme for the end credits.[5]
Desplat spoke of the use of Williams' theme in Part 2, saying, "Well, we all know there's one theme, which has become iconic, Hedwig's Theme from John Williams. This theme is crucial to the success of the story, and it would have been disrespectful and stupid for me not to use it at the crucial moments where we need to refer to these ten years of friendships that we've all had with these characters and kids, so Hedwig's Theme does reoccur a lot more [than] in Part 1 where loss of innocence was the main theme of the film [...]"[6]

The soundtrack received positive reviews. Jorn Tillnes of Soundtrack Geek gave the soundtrack a 9/10 and noted, "Part 2 ends in anything but tears. It is a joy to listen to just like Part 1 and using the Hedwig's Theme by John Williams, which is the ultimate Harry Potter theme after all, is a brilliant touch."[7] Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks gave the soundtrack an overall rating of 4/5, the music as heard on the album 3/5, and rated the score in the context of the film a 5/5, and commented, "Desplat finally proves that his style can transcend his obvious technical mastery of an orchestra and reach levels of tonal majesty that can be summed up in a single word: epic."[8]
Danny Graydon from Empire Online gave the soundtrack a 5/5 rating, and said "Just as John Williams created Harry Potter’s musical language, Alexandre Desplat succeeds magnificently in completing it. Desplat crafts a highly emotional thematic anchor with its strings and solo vocalist."[9] Another review came from Allmusic.com; James Christopher Monger gave the soundtrack a 3/5 and commented, "Bombastic, sinister, and triumphant, the appropriately dark and apocalyptic Deathly Hallows, Pt. 2 may sit near the bottom of the Potter soundtrack pile, but it can hardly be called a failure."[10] Later, a review came from Jonathan Broxton of Movie Music UK, who rated the score 5/5 stars, and commented, "I can’t speak highly enough of Desplat’s achievement in concluding the Harry Potter franchise the way he has..., Harry’s story was always about death, and Desplat’s decision to build his score around a musical motif representing those departed souls was a perfect one. This is one of the scores of the year."[11] Evening Hour rated the soundtrack 4.5/5, commenting, "Desplat has proved to be a formidable force in the success of the Deathly Hallows films, seamlessly blending emotional nuance with action-packed grandeur. He has, in short, created a satisfying and richly layered aural landscape that I will always love coming back to."[12]
