I'm not comparing it directly to E.T.I just find in the early-mid eighties Williams developped his trademark heavily orchestrated fantasy style,starting with E.T.,with lush strings,horns,woodwinds...then he used it further in Spacecamp,Amazing Stories and Witches of Eastwick,Home Alone,Hook,and Harry Potter.A lot of cues from these scores are structurally similar and i group them apart from the Action style(SW,Indy,JP) and the serious drama style(Angela's Ashes,Stepmom,Tibet,Amistad,SPR...)
