still not sure about this. i really have to see first how these sounds are incorporated to the scenes from the movie..

I think this is really really good. Lot of bass and cello, and beautiful melody. I was able to imagine what was happening even with only 30 seconds. I think you have to give Hooper his chance. Im sure the music with the film will be marvolous!

These were beautiful. Some of my favorites were, "Harry & Hermione", "Journey To The Cave", and "The Friends". Just got tickets today, and so excited. (:

It was brilliant and I loved it, it just doesnt feel like Harry Potter to me :(. It sounds like it would be better suited to Pirates of the Caribbean or something. I LOVED the Weasleys Wizard Wheezes one, but sadly, that ones not in the film :(. In all of the clips, I heard Hedwigs Theme only once :(. That song WAS Harry Potter to me, and it makes me sad to think that Nicholas Hooper chooses not to incorporate it :(. I understand that John Williams wrote it and that Nicholas is trying to write his own score and not use John Williams, but a main theme is a main theme, and you cant just throw it out the window because you didnt write it.

My favorites so far are "In Noctem" "When Ginny Kissed Harry" "OPENING" "Journey to the Cave" and "Weasley Wizard Wheezes!"

vici1126, the theme will be in the movie, and FYI Nicholas Hooper is not the only composer to not use Hedwigs Theme through the whole movie, Patrick Doyle ring a bell? Yeah. He made his own score as well.

This soundtrack is 75% fluff and 25% decent. But really its nothing special - not even close to what a Harry Potter soundtrack should be. If Hooper does the 7th and 8th movies as well then I think the best soundtrack of them will remain to be Prisoner of Azkaban.

am listening right now!! 30 seconds is way too short...cant wait to get my hands on this!! "living death" seems to start out a bit like "umbridges" song from OotP and i loved that!!! cant wait to see the scenes each song goes with!!!!!! less than 2 weeks people!!!!!!!

I dont know what you guys are talking about.... I find the music beautiful.. much better than the ootp soundtrack.

Sounds good to me! I love Weasley Wizard Wheezes and The Weasley Stomp!!! I noticed that all or most of them are not thirty second, but twenty-nine seconds, just a thought. Living Death does sound like Umbridge in a way, freaky! I think the Weasley Stomp is my favorite though, it just sounds really good!!! I am going to finish listening to them, but those are my favorites so far.

I still like the ones I said, but I also like Harry & Hermione and several others. This CD is going to be so wicked!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-07-02 08:59:49

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-07-02 09:03:28

"Harry & Hermione" was the best to me, by far.
