He sure has. And he has been sweeping the awards as well. Several gold stars in a row and Incanus' Golden Biscotti of Comedy. Who knows what he'll end up with by the end of the year. When I first saw one of his jokes I thought to myself: This kid will do great things, great but terrible.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Alas I have been busy with other writing this whole time. The Chamber of Secrets will have to wait a bit. Sorry folks!
But considering that BloodBoal put the timer in this thread without any consultation from me, I think it is perfectly within my rights not have written anything up to this point. Especially since he is not the boss of me as he isn't paying anything.

Such a shame. I was planning on giving you $10,000 if you delivered the review on time. I guess I'll use that money to buy me candies.

Well not a writers cut as such but it is easy to correct some small mistakes and it is also tempting. This is the world of internet. It is always on the move Bloodboal, always changing. So I improved my analysis a bit. It is not like I wrote new paragraphs to explain the existence of the older ones.

If I may be so bold as to inquire, where has the analysis from the main post disappeared to?

I just had to go to the Edit where the whole text was hiding and press Save Changes and now the text is all there. Phew! Luckily I do have a back-up file of the text. 
This major crises has passed. Nothing to see here! Except the analysis of course! Read it!

Is this review up yet? Can't remember if I've seen it or not. Looking forwards to seeing it though, whether I have or not.

Thank you BB, always nice to get honest feedback. I will try to finish the Hobbit analysis/review ASAP. Life and work and all that secondary stuff intervened in a most unfortunate way in these past few months.
And in the meanwhile KK's excellent review is a good way to get into the analysis of the musical world of the Hobbit score.

I've seen your one several times
Its very good, very good indeed. Very useful including the staves with the themes note by note. I saw you updated it a bit at one point, any chance you'll add more when you recognise more themes?

I was curious about something:
Regarding Diagon Alley (2M4); does it segue with the scene in which it portrays?
I was always interested in wanting to see how John Williams' original composition plays out in the film.

From what I remember people saying here and there, the cue is longer than the scene in the film, so there was probably some footage that was cut, and that's why they tracked Entry Into The Great Hall into that scene instead (because the original cue didn't fit with the new edit of the scene).

Hmm; interesting. If that is the case, I would be interested to see any additional sequences that made the scene longer.
I would still love to hear how John Williams' original composition plays out in that scene.
