I wish I lived in America. ;-) Did you mean you heard a adult choir sing Double Trouble? I wish I could hear that. Hint.

I can't listen to it. Do you have to be a member of AOL to hear it?

I thougth it was going to be DJ Tiësto for 3 whole hours. No Williams. DJ Tiësto.

I think Newell will be the first director that delivers a Potter-movie near perfection. :-) Cuaron was pretty close, but he focused to much on details and wasted screentime to a stupid choir (not that I don't like the choir and Double Trouble) that he could have used for a longer Shrieking Shack scene, or more explanation for the Honeydukes scene. I think that Newell will focus on the story and only on the story. He said in a press-release that he tought Goblet was a dark thriller, where the bad guy is making a plan to kill the hero, who is unaware of that. Ofcourse the book is very much more than that, but in a movie, you have to cut it to the basics. And that's the basic.

Yes, you're right, Stefancos, they should at least have explained that. In the books Madame Rosmerta is complaining against Fudge that the Dementors are searching the pub every day and that they scare away customers. Rosmerta says that she still cannot believe it, Sirius Black. She knew him when he was young and says that he was a very nice boy, then she mentions that he is the best friend of James Potter, and that draws Harry's attention. Now... That would make the film 2 minutes longer.

Apparently, Cuaron and Kloves found it more interesting to explain that storyline in the next movie, so I think that the explanation will be in GoF.

Yes... The galleries have a fewer morons. But you won't find me there till 3th june. I'm avoiding Potter boards till I've seen the movie.

You know... I haven't read this thread, for the spoilers, but then I saw that HPFAN2 replyed, and I was curious what he had to say. Because I thought that, after seeing a new trailer, he was looking more forward to PoA. But then, this reaction about the shrunken head. It doesn't fit, it's like HPFAN2 is making fun with himself. And he doesn't seem to be that kind of person, at least not in the other Cuaron-related threads. So, I'm guessing... HPFAN2 is actually Ricard, who is making fun of us the last 5 months. I'm sure of it.

From TLC "John composed "Double Trouble" during the production of the film as we decided that a children's choir would be a warm welcome back to Hogwarts. The theme, a melodic mischievous close cousin of the "Hedwig's Theme" composed around text from Shakespeare's Macbeth, became the foundation stone for the rest of the film score. Its medieval color became the musical identity of the wizarding world in this third installment of Harry Potter. John juggled these medieval motifs with a late 19th century rossini-esque narrative, a delirious big band Jazz number, and 20th century music (which we both share a love for). How he managed to create a unity out of it all, beats me! It was a great privilege to witness, as the scoring sessions unfolded, music breathing life into what has become a much better film. Gracias Maestro! - Alfonso Cuaron "

So.. I'm done listening. It's a completely different Harry Potter soundtrack than the previous, which is a good thing I think. With a whole different movie, I think everyting (including the soundtrack) can't be a slightly different version from the last movie. I don't think this soundtrack has an instant rememorable theme, like Fawkes on the second OST. But this soundtrack has a more emotional, tragical range. Specially A Window to the Past is touching and moving. Aunt Marge reminds me at those great Viennese Walses. And Misschief Managed is a nice summary of what to find on the album. In my view the soundtrack certainly doesn't dissapoint, but it isn't what I suspected. But that doesn't make it less great.

I don't know which track I'm now... One of the last... But when that panflute starts (same from A Window to the Past) it's so... aaargh... Hmmm tears and stuff. Horns... Woow. The last tracks are one of the best.

It will get very dark... Very dark. 16-17-...

More choir? Right in Patronus Light!

The classic moment has arrived. Quidditch, thirth year. Even a full choir. :-)

Hagrid the Professor is very lovely. It starts with oboes, I guess (I'm not good in the English names of instruments) and then SWTWC is played slowly with even more wood. Most numbers have a very Middle-age feeling about them.

The Whomping Willow and The Snowball Fight reminds me very much at an Indiana Jones score. Not in a plagiarisme style, but in the same genre. Very good and enjoyble. Secrets of the Castle is very dark. Something Wicked this way this comes is played on a celesta here, integrated to Hedwig's theme. Like the title suggest, very secretiviness here.

Woowww... I'm very silent now. A Window to the Past is even more moving.. Very touching. This must be a very emotional part in the movie. And hedwig's theme integrated into it... A Window to the Past has a very tragic theme. Very appropiate for the tragic side of Harry.

I'm now listening to Buckbeak's Flight. Can't say it's very memorable. But it is very moving and emotional. :-) I'm still waiting for a classic JW theme.

The Knight Bus is very experimental!! It want's to imitate the traffic... I don't know if it's succeeds. I like the Waltz better Very 'swingy'

1. Lumos! (Hedwig's Theme) 2. Aunt Marge's Waltz 3. The Knight Bus 4. Apparition on the Train 5. Double Trouble 6. Buckbeak's Flight 7. A Window to the Past 8.

This makes it a little easier!! I'm now listening to Aunt Marge Waltz!! It's absolutely beautifull!! And now the Knight Bus starts! :-)

I can't find the original tread, but I said it was Fawkes' theme.

Yes, but I doubt if Williams lives long anough to score them all.

But he isn't. And both Belgium and Netherlands are getting the movie on 2 june :-) Two days earlier than usa.
