I was a Project Consultant on this release.  It's my first real credit, and first paying gig in the field, actually.  If anyone was wondering why I stopped posting as frequently this spring, this is w

One thing I should point out is that this set features music you've NEVER heard before.  For all three scores!   Even if you're intimately familiar with the albums and the music in the films

I doubt most Harry Potter fans want anything more than the OSTs.  I know lots of HP fans, most don't even own a single soundtrack to any of the movies.  A few of them have bought the HP theme through iTunes or something like that.  News of this release still hasn't made it to mugglenet's main page.

Yeah, even if this is a monumental release, I doubt a lot of random HP fans realized the OSTs they knew had missing tracks.
My nerdiest friends absolutely love Harry Potter and its soundtrack, but I've never seen them listen to anything but

the main themes on Youtube or Spotify once in a while. I mean, they absolutely adore the books and films in all their forms

and shapes, but I seriously can't imagine them spending 100 bucks to pop their cd player open and crank up the volume while 
Confrontation in the Shrieking Shack or Hogsmeade Candy Box are playing 😂

PS: less than 2 hours to go. I'm sweating already

A few Harry Potter fans I know only listen to Lily's Theme from Deathly Hallows.

This will be a day long remembered. It will see the release of a new Bond expansion, and will soon see the release of one of the biggest Williams release of all time (Land of the Giants).

A very good choice, if you’re just gonna listen to one cue.

 

Oh yeah. It's a good cue. Just contributing to the argument that most Potter fans are perfectly fine with the OSTS or less.

 

In other news, only slightly more than an HOUR!

Eh. The Hunger Games scores have their moments.

 

I must admit I haven't listened to them carefully. I'm sure good ol' James did some of his magic here and there!

45 minutes, yes.
About to spare no expense.

Are we really going to pretend like Desplat wrote bad scores now? Really?

 

I really loved his work on The Tree of Life (even if he had to compete with a lot of great classical compositions).

LOL. Time needs to move faster. I shifted my lunch break for this. XD

 

As for Hunger Games. Yes, here and there.

LOL. I don't think that. I just like making jokes.

 

I actually really love his score for Part 1, one of my favorites after the Williams scores, especially the likes of the Exodus, Ron Leaves, Death Eaters, Ministry of Magic, and Obliviate. Part 2 is a little too Blockbustery for me, but I still like it as well. I just don't come back to it as often.

 

EDIT: 30 MINUTES. In 18 minutes, just pop on Mischief Managed and it'll get you through the rest of the wait.

Ditto. Exodus gives me chills!

So will there be a specific link I have to click on, or will I just have to keep refreshing LLL homepage?

 

They will all be right on the homepage after <your local time> o'clock.

I have the homepage open in one tab and two predicted URLs in other tabs based on how the other urls appear...the wait is making me go mad.

 

Homepage is probably the best bet. Lol. Theoretically they'll pop up in the New Release section and you can add to cart straight from there.

I added a random album to my cart earlier. Just to see what happens.

 

I've got to add two things to my cart tonight (Potter and TWINE). This needs some precision clicking!
