Arpy 4,145 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I've been listening through Prisoner of Azkaban lately and came across something which has been bugging me - in Walk in the Woods and several other iterations of WTTP theme, the horn section of that track has a lot of fuzzy air around it that's distracting, almost as if the mics picked up the air in the room. I went back to the OST and noticed it was there too so it must've been a recording thing. Other than that everything sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Holko 9,514 Posted November 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2020 Listened to Azkaban yesterday and noticed the descending figure that the harpsichord plays early in the unreleased film take of Befriending the Hippogriff not only returns on strings later in the same cue, but in Great Hall Ceiling and Page 394 too! Can anyone spot it anywhere else? The entire score's so sonically interesting too with all these different key instruments and lots of chances for them to shine. I'm so happy that eventually they did come up with Window to the Past! Its main beautiful setting of yearning and nostalgia is a great contrast to the two instances where it's triumphant and fulfilling and a source of power, Summoning the Patronus and Watching the Past. Even better if you know the book but already good because Cuarón changed the key memory to be of the parents. It's such a good adaptation, generally he handled that broken past subject matter such more delicately and affectingly than Columbus (JW's doing some heavy lifting with his Family theme there), but then again the book focuses on it a lot more too in the first place. I love all the changes he made to the Harry/Buckbeak/Nimbus/Firebolt stuff too. I don't want to try and imagine what JW could have done with WttP for Priori Incantatem in 4 or the forest scene in 8... but Doyle's cue already brings me to the verge of tears and I don't really care about the movies and scores past that so it's fine.

Here's a quick demonstration: film take, LLL take, film take, LLL take. It's not a serious flub or terrible mix or anything but one's clearly superior. It's more of a difference than I can notice in any of the "it was on the OST so it's included here too" technically but not actually different takes in 2 and 3.

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Question about Diagon Alley (Extended Version). In the movie, the cue opens with a tracked portion of Hermione's Feather. I always believed that was necessary because the sessions version is missing the reveal insert included on the LLL and is therefore too short fo the scene. However, if you paste the LLL cue in its entirity over the scene, do you still need Hermione's Feather? Or does the reveal insert end exactly after Hagrid welcomes Harry to the alley?

oierem 152 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 If I'm not mistaken the insert is meant to replace the first section of the "wizard band" portion of the cue (not the way it's presented in the LLL soundtrack). In the film Hermione's feather is used exactly where the cue was meant to begin. Then the original cue starts later than it should and goes into more tracked music. I'm sure Jason is able to explain it much better than I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to include 2M4 without this Insert as a bonus track on disc 3, but it wasn't meant to be. Luckily, you can hear WIlliams' original intentions before the Insert existed via the session leak. oierem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackR 95 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Does anyone happen to have a list of the specific Potter music that plays in the various venues/attractions at Universal in FL? We just spent some time there. I'm admittedly not an expert on the Potter music but would love to create a playlist of all the cues used in the park. Not necessarily looking for a breakdown by area, attraction, etc. (though if someone has done one, AWESOME), but just in general, I'd love to know what music plays in the parks there. This set has quickly skyrocketed to my top played since our trip! I couldn't love it any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,041 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I don't have any sort of organized lists, but I do know I've heard these among the main area BGM tracks for Hogsmeade: Dumbledore's Army Professor Umbridge Rita Skeeter The Friends There are obviously many others. Forbidden Journey doesn't use much music, but I believe Lumos! is used near the beginning, and a pitch-shifted excerpt from Mr. Longbottom Flies is heard near the end. I also remember that the Hogwarts Express uses new arrangements not available on album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,679 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Referring back to Diagon Alley for a moment, the problem for me is that the original cue pauses right at the point where it feels Harry's wonderment should be at its peak, and instead we get some whimsical strings. It just doesn't work anywhere near as well as the crescendo-transition into the Great Hall music, which I guess is why it was replaced. For my 16 year old self, hearing that wonderful cue twice in the film, and discovering that it wasn't on the album, was highly disappointing. Unrelated: that shot from 0:17 to 0:19 has to be one of the worst uses of green screen seen in a recent blockbuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,349 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I must confess, I am not completely happy that I gave away my OST CDs of the first three Potter scores after purchasing this 7 CDbox. I mean, the box is great, but as listening experience the OST CDs were slightly better. Over long periods there is not much happening musically in the scores. The first Harry Potter works best in the complete score presentation, but for HP2 I would say, the OST works better. Also for HP3 the OST works better for me. I know, I could create my favourite playlist. The box has it all. But I am an old fashioned guy that actually listens to CDs. I think, having bith would have been best.
