Prisoner of Azkaban: Complete and Chronological

[John Takis 206]

IMPORTANT: THIS FIRST POST IS NOW OBSOLETE!!!

Scroll further down the thread for the updated version.

Bear in mind that this is based on a single viewing of the film, so there are undoubtedly errors. And though I'm sure I missed a few, cues with a (*) indicate an unreleased cue that features the Double Trouble theme.

Lumos!

Aunt Marge?s Waltz

Family Photo

Enchanted Playground

The Knight Bus (expanded from album -- there's an inserted cue for the newspaper bit)

The Leaky Cauldron (source)

The Monster Book (Monster Books and Boggarts Pt. 1 -- the first 30 seconds or so)

Egyptian Flute (source)

Finale Pt. 1

Sirius Black?s Escape

Finale Pt. 2

Time To Go Back

La Cumpastra (I think ... source)

The Castle II (Hagrid the Professor Pt. 1 ? tracked, I think)

Mischief Managed (expanded from album version up to the point where the credits begin; Knight Bus and Double Trouble have switched places in the end credits montage; the first few notes of "Quidditch, Third Year" are tacked on to the very end)

If anyone can give me a better idea of how "A Window to the Past" and some of the other tracks break down, please be my guest.

I heard no quotes of the Hogwarts Theme, or of the Family Theme from the first two films -- the latter of which seems to have been replaced by the new "Memory from the Past" theme. A few minor quotes of the HP title theme (Hedwig's Theme) are unreleased, but there are no other familiar themes reprised in the film that are unreleased that I could here. "Mischief Managed" is the only time we hear the Nimbus 2000 theme.

Not counting the duplicate versions found in the "Mischief Managed" suite, the album in chronological order (at least until I figure it out better) would be:

1. Lumos! (Hedwig's Theme) -- Track 1

2. Aunt Marge's Waltz -- Track 2

3. The Knight Bus -- Track 3

4. The Monster Book -- Track 12 [0:00-0:28]

5. Apparition on the Train -- Track 4

6. Double Trouble -- Track 5

7. Bluebird -- Track 9 [1:53-end]

8. Hagrid the Professor -- Track 11 [0:32-end]

9. Buckbeak's Flight -- Track 6

10. The Castle -- Track 11 [0:00-0:31]

11. The Boggart -- Track 12 [0:29-end]

12. A Window to the Past -- Track 7

13. The Portrait Gallery -- Track 10

14. Secrets of the Castle -- Track 9 [0:00-1:52]

15. Quidditch, Third Year -- Track 13

16. The Snowball Fight -- Track 8 [1:21-end]

17. The Patronus Light -- Track 15

18. The Axe Falls -- Track 17 [0:00-2:20]

19. The Whomping Willow -- Track 8 [0:00-1:20]

20. Lupin's Transformation and Chasing Scabbers -- Track 14

21. The Dementor's Converge -- Track 19

22. Forward to Time Past -- 18

23. Saving Buckbeak -- Track 17 [2:21-end]

24. The Werewolf Scene -- Track 16

25. Finale -- Track 20

26. Mischief Managed -- Track 21

Enjoy!

[John Crichton 4]

Excellent, thank you John! I was planning on having to do this for my own film edit after I see the film, but now we have something to go on already. If you plan on doing something as detailed as your Ep. II cue breakdown I look forward to seeing it.

John Takis- he never posts, but he comes through when it counts!

[John Takis 206]

UPDATE: Listening to the album again, at least part of the "Werewolf Scene" track is "Lupin's Transformation" (the quasi-Voldemort ascending trumpet line was in that scene). Also, is part of "A Window to the Past" the music where invisible Harry runs out into the forest and cries? I might see the movie again tomorrow and try to answer some of these questions.

[Henry B 50]

Is Professor Trelawney's Prediction even in this film?

[diskobolus 3]

Awesome, John! Thanks very much!

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

Is Professor Trelawney's Prediction even in this film?

It's there. Oh yes, it's most definitely there.

Now we know for sure that "A Winter's Spell" is just the Christmas carol from the first film. I had a sneaking suspicion it was and even alluded to it in a previous post though nobody seemed to catch what I was hinting at. To be fair, I wasn't entirely willing to go out on a limb and commit to saying it was the same song. Without seeing the film, I couldn't have been certain.

[woodwindmaster06 0]

Only 6 unreleased tracks, pretty good!!

[King Mark 3,631]

*=unreleased cue WITH DOUBLE TROUBLE THEME IN IT.

K.M.

[Marian Schedenig 8,253]

Also, is part of "A Window to the Past" the music where invisible Harry runs out into the forest and cries?

I'm pretty sure it is.

Marian - who doesn't remember too many other specific music/scene relations, since he first heard the score in the movie.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

[Rogue_Leader 2]

Damn John that is one comprehensive bloody list for just one viewing of the film. You clearly have an ear for attention.

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

Now we know for sure that "A Winter's Spell" is just the Christmas carol from the first film.

How do we know this? I don't think it is.

Ray Barnsbury

[IrishCal24 0]

The carolers in Hogsmeade are singing the opening "Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas" just before Harry plows through them as he rushes out of the Three Broomsticks. It's the only other song in the film.

[Morlock 11]

Now we know for sure that "A Winter's Spell" is just the Christmas carol from the first film.

How do we know this? I don't think it is.

Ray Barnsbury

Maybe it's just wrongly named, the one in HP I is Christmas Spell. I think it would make sense that that's it.

[King Mark 3,631]

Damn John that is one comprehensive bloody list for just one viewing of the film. You clearly have an ear for attention.

clearly he didn't watch the movie.It seems he took a pen and paper into the theater and only focused on the score,and wrote everything down.

I can just see him getting stopped by some TV reporter looking for reaction.

"So, what did you think of the movie?"

"Movie? What movie? I just went to a John Williams concert. "

Hmm, okay. I didn't notice that they were singing the same song.

Ray Barnsbury

[King Mark 3,631]

what ,from Home Alone 2?

K.M.

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

No, the Christmas song from the first score apparently.

Ray Barnsbury

[Rogue_Leader 2]

You guys were right the music is presented VERY well in the movie. No horrible editing or anything.

[King Mark 3,631]

Well,assuming Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azcaban is set in Britain the late 90's ,then it COULD be possible for carollers to be signing a John Williams song from Home Alone2 and remain within the boundaries of the book's world,...think of it.

K.M.

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

Uh, sure.

Ray Barnsbury

[IrishCal24 0]

La Cumparsita is a very famous and popular Tango piece. Odds are everyone has heard it many times before and will recognize it instantly. I don't recall hearing it in the film, but I was particularly paying attention for it either.

Vist this link for information. To hear a midi version of the tune, click here.

[diskobolus 3]

isnt Forward to Time Past spread out between two scenes, when they first turn time, and when they're running back to the hospital wing?

[HPFAN_2 0]

Yes it is i noticed that too. Does anyone know if the bit that played at Dumbledore's speech is unreleased music or just a part taken from an existing track.

[Henry B 50]

I like that heroic music when Hermione busts Sirius out of the tower prison.

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

Does anyone know if the bit that played at Dumbledore's speech is unreleased music or just a part taken from an existing track.

It's definitely unreleased. There's actually a good amount of significant music not on the album, although that's hardly a surprise. Most of it's not large, sweeping passages, but rather softer, mysterious or sweet little pieces here and there.

Ray Barnsbury

[John Takis 206]

Having identified the cues during my first viewing of the movie, the second time I did rough cue timing and took notes. I have now answered most of my earlier questions and significantly revised the placement of album cues. I will try to post my complete findings tomorrow if I get the time ... but for now, a few tidbits:

The film version of Buckbeak's Flight is ABRIDGED.

"A Winter's Spell" is not from a Home Alone movie.

A good chunk of "A Window to the Past", including the Hedwig's Theme quote, is UNUSED in the film.

"Chasing Scabbers" comes right before "The Whomping Willow".

"The Werewolf Scene" comes right after "Lupin's Transformation".

The only unreleased cue to feature Buckbeak's Theme is "Sirius Black's Escape".

Most of the unreleased cues ARE more low-key atmosphere or tenderness, with the Double Trouble theme appearing most frequently. Exceptions are many of the beautiful transitional cues and a few major setpieces. There was ample room for most of these on the album, given the 20-some minutes that could have been added.

More tomorrow!

[ChrisAfonso 188]

By "Buckbeak's Flight is abridged" yxou mean the shorter transition between the percussion and the theme, right? Otherwise, it seemed intact to me.

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

There are also brief edits right before the main theme of the cue comes in both times.

Ray Barnsbury

[King Mark 3,631]

Also,I think Saving Buckbeak is abridged,in the film I didn't hear the woodwind flourishes at the end of the album cue.

Also,in "Time to Go Back",the time motif is played with frantic flutes not heard on the abum

[John Takis 206]

UPDATED COMPLETE AND CHRONOLOGICAL CUE LIST:

8O As promised, here?s an updated and comprehensive look at the POA score in the film and on the album. It may not be entirely accurate, but I?ve pointed out the areas where I have some doubts or uncertainties. Again, times are approximate and cue titles that are not given on the album are my own invention.

Lumos! (1:38) ? Track 1

The main title, a standard arrangement of "Hedwig?s Theme?.

TV Source Music ? Probably released, but not on this album

Source cues tend to fade in and out, so I?ve left them untimed. Heard coming from the television, this one plays before and after the following cue. A tango, accompanying a dancer on some sort of variety show ? might this possibly be the ?La Cumpastra? mentioned in the credits?

Aunt Marge?s Waltz (2:15) ? Track 2

This comical Rossini-esque waltz for Aunt Margaret blowing up like a balloon is only heard in this scene.

Family Photo (0:16) ? Unreleased

First quote of the new ?memory? theme, as Harry looks at a magical photo of his parents.

The Bus Stop (1:24) ? Track 3 [0:00-0:23]/Unreleased

The first thirty seconds of this cue are ambient horror music for the first appearance of the Grim. It transitions into a bumpy, comical quasi-theme for the arrival of the Knight Bus and the attendant busboy. Part of this music is on the CD.

The Knight Bus, Part 1 (0:56) ? Track 3 [0:24-1:20]/Unreleased

Two tuba-note blasts (cut from the album) launch the first part of the wacky ?Knight Bus? cue. This part of the cue comes to an abrupt halt as Harry hits the window.

The Knight Bus, Part 2 (1:17) ? Track 3 [1:21-end]/Unreleased

The second half of the ?Knight Bus? scene appears to have been re-scored for the final cut of the film. If one listens to the album cut (which is 1:32 in length), the music is (1) the stretching sequence (humorously featuring an accordion), (2) ominous music that probably underscores the busboy telling Harry about Sirius Black, and (3) more wacky music for the arrival at the Leaky Cauldron. But in the film, Harry learns about Black before the stretching sequence, and the cue features the eight-note ?threat? motif on harpsichord (which is not the same as the harpsichord motif heard at the beginning of ?Quidditch, Third Year?, although the two ideas are often heard in conjunction). This important motif is NOWHERE on the album ? the CDs most significant omission. In conclusion, the album version of ?The Knight Bus? is probably an alternate cue, or the film version is re-edited. It is quite possible that the threat motif was overlayed later, as it appears to have been done with ?The Werewolf Scene?

The Leaky Cauldron (Source Music) ? Unreleased

Spare, Celtic-sounding music.

The Monster Book (0:50) ? Track 12 [0:00-0:28]

The album shortens the gaps between the frenetic bits as Harry wrestles with his new textbook, but the music is all there.

Egyptian Flute (Source Music) ? Unreleased

Plays in the background as one of the Weasley children demonstrates the fine art of rope-charming.

Grave Danger (1:00) ? Unreleased

Low strings and then the threat motif on harpsichord again, as Mr. Weasley warns Harry about Black.

Night Voyage (0:19) ? Unreleased

A short, lovely flute version of the Double Trouble theme, heard over shots of the train at night. The first appearance of this theme.

Apparition On The Train (2:15) ? Track 4

Substantially the same as on the album, this highly effective suspense cue has a wordless choral note grafted onto the end of it in the film, anticipating the Patronus music.

Arrival At Hogwarts/Double Trouble (0:56) ? Unreleased/Track 6 [partial]

A brief mysterioso introduction segues into the midst of ?Double Trouble?, which has been majorly edited down.

A Word Of Caution (0:42) ? Unreleased

Foreboding music as Dumbledore warns of the Dementors of Azkaban. Then a light statement of the DT (Double Trouble) theme for his words of hope.

Back At Griffendor (0:20) ? Unreleased

A variation on the DT theme.

Night Becomes Day (1:02) ? Track 9 [1:30-end]

Spectacular contrasting variations on the DT theme, the first a wickedly thrilling cue for the Dementors arriving at Hogwarts; the second a delightful, flutey variation for the unfortunate bluebird that flies into the whomping willow the following morning.

The Grim (0:28) ? Unreleased

Suspenseful bit for the omen in the tea leaves.

Hagrid The Professor (0:42) ? Track 11 [0:31-1:16]/Unreleased

Medieval-sounding variation on the DT theme. The last :42 of Track 11 do not appear to be used in the film (though it?s possible I?m confusing this passage with 0:31-1:16 in my memory). They may belong to an alternate scoring of this scene. There are a few seconds lead-in in the film that may be unreleased ? the album version could simply be a significantly longer alternate.

Meeting Buckbeak (1:20) ? Unreleased

String rhythms foreshadow ?Saving Buckbeak? during Harry?s first encounter with the Hippogrif. Buckbeak?s theme is NOT in this cue ? it appears to be reserved for the scenes where he is flying ? but we do hear another statement of the DT theme.

Buckbeak?s Flight (1:43) ? Track 6 [partial]

Unfortunately edited down in the film. The album version runs 2:08. This is the first of only two appearances of the gorgeous Buckbeak theme, preceded by some of the wildest percussion since ?Sand People Attack? in Star Wars. An album (and score) highlight.

The Castle (0:43) ? Track 11 [0:00-0:31]/Unreleased

Medieval music, probably inspired by the fact that the Headless Hunt is going on in the background of this Hogwarts dinner scene. The film includes a tapping-cymbal intro not on the album.

Trying To Catch Smoke (0:45) ? Track 10 [1:17-end]?

Another transitional cue; the children discuss Black, then we cut to a shot of flowers withering and a Dementor circling Hogwarts. I am not 100% sure that my identification of this cue as being on the album is correct.

Big Band Source #1 ? Released, but not on this album

From the LP Professor Lupin plays underneath the Boggart scene. The music entertwines with Williams? score. I think this is from ?Swing, Swing, Swing?, but I?m not sure.

The Boggart (2:22) ? Track 12 [0:29-end]

As I said, this cue is entertwined with the Big Band source music, which begins first and continues after, so it?s hard to get a sense of how many seconds of score are here. My cue time is for both the source and score. The 2:00 we get on the album is probably the whole thing.

Fears (0:32) ? Track 7 [0:00-0:32]?

A flute version of the memory theme. Possibly the opening of Track 7, possibly unreleased.

Remembering Lily (1:03) ? Track 7 [partial]?/Unreleased

Another flute version of the memory theme, then a fuller version that features an oboe accompaniment which is definitely not on the CD. It?s conceivable that the first part of Track 7, ?A Window To The Past?, is an alternate version of this cue. See ?Winter Comes? for more speculation about Track 7.

The Portrait Gallery (1:31) ? Track 10 [0:00-1:18]/Unreleased

In the film, this cue (an off-kilter arrangement of the DT theme) begins with a low rumble that is not on the album. On the album, it appears to cross-filter to another cue, which I believe to be ?Trying To Catch Smoke?.

Secure The Castle! (0:25) ? Unreleased

Huge brass chords for the locking gate, reminiscent of Elliot Goldenthal?s ?Final Fantasy? score.

Secrets Of The Castle (1:30) ? Track 9 [0:00-1:30]

Subdued, haunting version of the DT theme as Harry eavesdrops on Dumbledore and Snape beneath the nighttime dome of the Great Hall. With interspersed quotes of Hedwig?s theme, this track never fails to induce goosebumps.

Quidditch, Third Year (3:47) ? Track 13

The secondary threat motif opens this cue, which quickly explodes into a fantastic action cue reminiscent of Williams? music from AOTC. Listen for variations on the secondary threat motif.

Winter Comes (2:26) ? Track 7 [2:28-end]/Unreleased

The 1:26 we have of this memory theme-based cue is preceded by an unreleased buildup featuring Hedwig?s theme, and also omits a passage that features a great intercutting of the memory theme with Hedwig?s theme. There is also some missing mischief-type music at the end. It?s remotely possible that more of Track 7, the unused portion, was intended to play under this scene.

Mischief (1:53) ? Unreleased

A rather low-key cue for the scene and transitions where Harry is given the Marauder?s Map. It features the primary threat theme, again on harpsichord.

The Snowball Fight (1:01) ? Track 8 [1:21-end]

A short cue, but pure joy to listen to.

A Winter?s Spell (Source Music) and Pub Source ? Unreleased

These two source cues serve as background music for the town of Hogsmeade. It is virtually impossible to make any real sense of the barely-heard ?A Winter?s Spell? except to affirm that it was not previously heard in the first Harry Potter film, nor any of the Home Alone films. The Pub Source sounds like it might have been loosely based on the memory theme.

Harry?s Vow (2:10) ? Unreleased

A sympathetic, string-based cue for Harry uncovering more shocking secrets about Sirius Black. After his vow to kill Black, we have a brief choral segment that anticipates the upcoming sequence (and might actually BE the next cue ? see below).

The Patronus Light (0:30) ? Track 15 [partial]

The album cue features 1:12 of this wordless, non-melodic chorus/ambient underscore. One suspects that Williams recorded a single version of this cue for use in this scene and other scenes that feature the chorus (such as the preceding ?Harry?s Vow?). Alternatively, the chorus originally ran continuously from ?Harry?s Vow? to ?The Patronus Light? and a portion of it was dialed out in the middle (there is a 22-second gap between the cues).

Dementor Test (0:16) ? Unreleased

A brief bit for the Boggart (in the shape of a Dementor) rising out of the trunk.

Another Memory (0:26) ? Unreleased

This short cue seems to hearken back to the distinctive choral progression from HP1 ? I?m thinking specifically of ?Olivander?s Wands?.

Spellcasting (1:26) ? Unreleased

The first part of this wonderful cue foreshadows ?The Dementor?s Converge?. The second part gives us another tender variation on the memory theme, with just a hint of dischord.

Peter Pettigrew (1:17) ? Unreleased

This substantial development of the threat motif associated with Pettigrew should have been on the album. Not to mention the fact that it?s a great suspense cue, as Harry goes wandering in the dark looking for a dead man.

Crystal Gazing (0:37) ? Unreleased

Because the ambient sound of this cue is so close to ambient sounds of Prof. Trelawney?s divination class, it?s hard to tell exactly where this cue ends.

Hermione Leaves (0:37) ? Unreleased

A surprisingly disquieting underscore for an upset Hermione leaving the class.

Premonition Of Evil (1:19) ? Unreleased

It?s unfortunate this cue isn?t on the album ? it?s a spacey, mystical, almost Hermannesque piece for Trelawney?s prediction.

Preparing For Execution (0:27) ? Unreleased

Short cue based around the first few notes of the DT theme.

Hagrid And Buckbeak (0:35) ? Unreleased

A non-thematic little oboe tune as Hagrid talks about Buckbeak.

The Axe Falls (2:20) ? Track 17 [0:00-2:20]

As heard on the album, terrific dramatic build-up ? only in the film, the tolling bells add a great effect!

Chasing Scabbers (1:27) ? Track 14 [1:34-end]

With its rapid pizzicato and frantic strings, this cue is reminiscent of ?Nocturnal Activities? and ?The Mine Car Chase? from Temple of Doom.

The Whomping Willow (1:20) ? Track 8 [0:00-1:20]

Another thrilling and percussive action cue.

The Shrieking Shack (1:09) ? Unreleased

Suspense cue featuring the threat motifs as Harry and Hermione search for Ron.

Confusing Confrontation (5:33) ? Unreleased

Williams music for this scene blends so well with the creaks and groans of the Shrieking Shack that it?s hard to tell where the music starts or ends (the sound design of this film is excellent)! The exact length of this cue is suspect, but it?s is mostly atmospheric ? the drama coming from the performances is so effective, it doesn?t need much help.

Lupin?s Transformation/The Werewolf Scene (5:08) ? Track 14 [0:00-1:33]/Track 16/Unreleased

This extended cue starts out tenderly with Harry talking to Black (there is an unreleased quote of the memory theme), then turns ugly for Lupin?s Transformation and the werewolf fight. The cue continues right up to?

The Dementor?s Converge (3:12) ? Track 19

Phenomenal cue, featuring a tremendous and terrifying build-up. The chorus at 1:06 recalls ?Stealing The Stones? from TOD. The climax, with its dissonance, choral overlays, and grand interpolation of the memory theme, is truly spectacular.

Forward To Time Past (2:33) ? Track 18

The subsequent cues leading up to the finale, all blend together. It begins with a great time travel cue, with a ticking clock, backwards notes, and ringing bells.

Meddling With Time (2:39) ? Unreleased

Continuation of the time travel material, while leading into ?Saving Buckbeak?.

Saving Buckbeak (4:20) ? Track 17 [2:21-end]

One of the score?s longer cues, essentially an extended suspense piece over an eight-note marimba ostinato that recalls ?Catch Me If You Can?.

Convergence (4:55) ? Track 20 [0:00-1:57]/Unreleased

The unreleased portion of this cue features the memory theme, and some revisiting of the werewolf material, but the brunt of the climax is on the album ? essentially ?The Dementor?s Converge? Take 2. The music continues in?

Sirius Black?s Escape (1:44) ? Unreleased

One of the score?s best unreleased cues ? joyous, pulse-pounding excitement ? and featuring the second and final appearance of Buckbeak?s theme. Continues in?

Finale (2:26) ? Track 20 [1:58-end]

Features a final climactic statement of the memory theme for Sirius Black?s farewell.

Time To Go Back (1:14) ? Unreleased

?Forward To Time Past? revisited, as Harry and Hermione rush back to where they?re supposed to be. There?s a quote of Hedwig?s theme towards the end, after they reach Ron.

Big Band Source #2 ? Probably released, but not on this album

Plays underneath Lupin?s goodbye scene. This scene cuts to what appears to be a tracked quote of music from ?The Castle?.

Mischief Managed! (indeterminate) -- Track 21/Unreleased

Before the final track (and end credits suite) collapses into album edits, we get 2:49 of original material (including statements of the Nimbus 2000 theme, Hedwig?s theme, and Double Trouble). In the film, however, we get an extra 12-seconds or so of original material at the beginning of the credits before DT picks up. The album order of the credits suite is: Mischief Managed (original material); Double Trouble variations (original material); A Window To The Past (the unreleased part ? there?s a slim chance it was composed specially as a bridge for the end credits, but I?m doubtful); Buckbeak?s Flight (complete); The Snowball Fight (complete); Double Trouble (complete); The Knight Bus (complete); Aunt Marge?s Waltz (complete). All this is followed by a brief solo statement of Hedwig?s theme. In the film, the harpsichord threat motif is also added after this. Also, the film reverses the position of "The Knight Bus" and "Double Trouble".

My best guess at a final album breakdown looks like this:

1. Lumos! (Hedwig's Theme) -- Track 1

2. Aunt Marge's Waltz -- Track 2

3. The Bus Stop/The Knight Bus -- Track 3 (significantly edited)

4. The Monster Book -- Track 12 [0:00-0:28]

5. Apparition on the Train -- Track 4

6. Double Trouble -- Track 5

7. Night Becomes Day -- Track 9 [1:30-end]

8. Hagrid the Professor -- Track 11 [0:32-end] (including possible unused/alternate material).

9. Buckbeak's Flight -- Track 6 (more complete than in the film)

10. The Castle -- Track 11 [0:00-0:31]

11. Trying To Catch Smoke -- Track 10 [1:17-end] (probably)

12. The Boggart -- Track 12 [0:29-end]

13. A Window to the Past -- Track 7 [0:00-2:28] (possibly unused, but possibly containing parts of "Fears" and/or "Remembering Lily")

14. The Portrait Gallery -- Track 10 [000-1:18]

15. Secrets of the Castle -- Track 9 [0:00-1:30]

16. Quidditch, Third Year -- Track 13

17. Winter Comes -- Track 7 [2:28-end] (significantly edited)

18. The Snowball Fight -- Track 8 [1:21-end]

19. The Patronus Light -- Track 15

20. The Axe Falls -- Track 17 [0:00-2:20]

21. Chasing Scabbers -- Track 14 [1:34-end]

22. The Whomping Willow -- Track 8 [0:00-1:20]

23. Lupin's Transformation -- Track 14 [0:00-1:33]

24. The Werewolf Scene -- Track 16

25. The Dementor's Converge -- Track 19

26. Forward to Time Past -- 18

27. Saving Buckbeak -- Track 17 [2:21-end]

28. Convergence/Finale -- Track 20 (significantly edited)

29. Mischief Managed -- Track 21

I would guess that Williams wrote somewhere in the area of 95-100 minutes of music for this movie. We get less than an hour of original music on the soundtrack album.

You can read my review/rating of the ?Prisoner of Azkaban? CD in an upcoming issue of Film Score Monthly.

[Lurker 5]

Well done, John! Ummmm, did you like the movie? 8O

Neil

[Morlock 11]

Wow, thanx a lot! All this from seeing it in the theater?

[John Takis 206]

All this from seing it in the theater, twice, with my watch and a notepad. 8O

Yeah, I liked the movie. Didn't love it. I mean, it's no LOTR. But it was very enjoyable, and I'm curious enough to check out the books at this point. At least, until the next Dark Tower novel comes out.

Oh, wait ... the next Dark Tower novel comes out TOMORROW. Oh well.

Also,I think Saving Buckbeak is abridged,in the film I didn't hear the woodwind flourishes at the end of the album cue.

They're there.

Marian - who knows. 8O

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

I mean, it's no LOTR

Yes, thank goodness. And great job John, you work very quickly!

Are you sure,I'm sure that music was meant for the Bat scene,but an alternate was used.

[Marian Schedenig 8,253]

I'm not sure anymore now...I know for sure that it's in the credits as heard in the movie....on the other hand, that bit IS one of my favourite parts of the cue, so I guess I would have missed it if it wasn't in the actual Buckbeak sequence.

Marian - not entirely sure now.

I would have loved to see the reaction of the people sitting next to John in the theatre as he was making notes about the score on his notepad as the movie was on-going.

Maybe they thought he was a profressional reviewer or something.

Hey as long as he didnt have a camera hidden in his belt or something...

That would have garnered an even worse response from a creature more feared than the Dementors! The underpayed usher prick!

Well he does write articles and he reviews CD's for Film Score Monthly.

Neil

[Rogue_Leader 2]

True, I meant film reviewer for a newspaper though obviously. He should too!

I would certainly trust John's opinion more than the guy who does the reviews in my local paper.

[pixie_twinkle 48]

I love the music after the line "And now we wait" where Hermione and Harry are waiting beside the whomping willow. The music accompanies bats flying through the forest. Is this music on the CD? I don't recall hearing it outside the film.

[King Mark 3,631]

No,but i think the Bat music was meant to be 6.15-6.35 in Saving Buckbeak,and an alternate was used in the movie.

I read the analysis despite not having gotten the score yet, though.

And I value John's opinion on the score so much the more. I'm feeling quite relieved people didn't go utterly eye-blinded after both LOTR scores and movies apparently made millions of people coldshoulder every other composers but Howard Shore.

24. The Werewolf Scene -- Track 16

25. The Dementor's Converge -- Track 19  

26. Forward to Time Past -- 18  

27. Saving Buckbeak -- Track 17 [2:21-end]  

28. The Werewolf Scene -- Track 16

You listed The Werewolf Scene twice there.

Anyway, I just completed my analysis of the entire film score and I must say I'm REALLY impressed how close you came from just seeing it in the theater. Anyway, it took about 8 or 9 hours to complete my analysis, so I'm going to bed. But hopefully tomorrow I'll post my findings.

I think everyone will be surprised just how edited the score in the film really is, and how rarely any themes from the first movie reappear (nothing from the second film reappears).

By the way, there's just about 40 minutes of unreleased music in the film (not counting any source material).

[King Mark 3,631]

Just 40 minutees?wow.,I'm relieved,i thought we got shortchanged with the OST for a minute there.
