John Williams themes ARE in GoF!

[King Mark 3,631]

Well,I hope my eyes aren't deceiving me and it's the right John Williams,but here's the GoF Internationnal Poster,and John Williams name IS in the credits:

aaagh,it's driving me nuts,I can't read what it says besides his name.

WOW! Good find!!!

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Why, don't they all look good together.

[King Mark 3,631]

Well,I hope it says something like"New Themes Composed".Williams does have some free time right now.Something like CoS was originally meant to be.I'm probably hoping for too much,but in any case it's important enough to have his name on the poster,something which probably wouldn't happen if only a few subtle quotes of Hedwig's Theme were used.

K.M.Wondering what that mystery credit is.

[Docteur Qui 1,544]

I'm thinking it could just say "Harry Potter theme(s) by..."

That's all I can get though. I hope it's only his old themes though; Doyle's perfectly capable of his own new ones.

[nightscape94 965]

Doyle probably threw a hissy fit when they told him he had to use the majority of old themes. They brought back the old Effects team, why not the music?! But I doubt that's truth.

And why does Rupert almost look like an ugly woman in that poster? His hair is almost longer then Hermione's.

I agree. I kind of can read "Harry Potter theme by"

[Docteur Qui 1,544]

Speaking of... things... the poll on Mugglenet asks what people thought of the trailer. Out offour options, one is " WOOHOO!! But I'm a little disappointed in the music". I thought it was a bit odd to ask in a poll like that.

[nightscape94 965]

Most of the Potter fans on Mugglenet probably have no idea who Doyle is, and probably didn't know JW until he scored PS. Though I'm glad if that attracted them to film scoring.

[King Mark 3,631]

I magnified it and it does seem to say "Harry Potter Themes By John Williams".There's definately an "s" at the end of the what i think is the "theme" word.I wonder if Doyle had to re-write parts of the score to include Williams music or if it was the plan all along?Doyle did say he wrote a bunch of themes,maybe they weren't good enough.

I'm just saying it could be significant because Williams name is on the actual poster and not just some mention in the End Credits.After all the Poster credits usually are the most significant ones.And no mention of whoever wrote the Weird Sisters songs.

[MSM 126]

It's a cool poster!

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Well, I guess it's only fair, MSM. I steal your Star Wars posters, you steal my Harry Potter posters.

[MSM 126]

Let's just say we have the same taste

[Lurker 5]

The IMDB (for all that it's worth) also has Williams credited on this movie for the "Harry Potter Theme".

[Justin 2]

Looks like they're the X-Men in the poster.

And Marian gets dissed for overthinking things. I think it's just that it's a commercial aid to have John Williams' name in the poster - not to mention a helpful clarification in case people hear music from the previous movies (i.e. leitmotifs) and see it credited to somebody else.

After all, movie posters are made for casual, careless movie-goers. Convinced fans are already going to see the film.

[Lurker 5]

Williams has a really good agent, doesn't he?

Neil

[Erik Woods 555]

Why, don't they all look good together.

Ummm... wasn't DREW STRUZAN'S poster the main Philosopher's Stone poster. And it's a shame they didn't use Drew's Chamber of Secret's poster

[Romão 2,274]

Hedwig's theme simply has to be used, and not even Doyke can get away from that. Other than this theme, the only theme I really think should be used is the You-Know-Who/Voldemort theme. With the absence of the other themes I can live with. I just want to hear those 2.

There's also the possibility that some of Williams' music for the first three films was used in place of original music, hence the Williams credit. We got the same recording of the Star Wars theme for all three prequels, I can see them recycling music for the Harry Potter main title as well.

Drew Struzan's artwork for PS/SS was for the US poster. The one I put down was the International sheet.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

Now, It may be worth a listening this score...

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

I definitely wouldn't want any kind of cut-and-paste job with Williams' themes. I'm hoping Doyle just used a couple (including Hedwig's Theme, of course) within his own score.

Ray Barnsbury

[JMan 0]

I just am not gung ho about even seeing this movie. Out of all three I thought the first one was so original and the best. Harry Potter, get a haircut! All of you little witches and wizards should get one. It would be nice to hear a Window to the past on this score, even though I dont plan on getting it. Peace!

[Marian Schedenig 8,193]

And Marian gets dissed for overthinking things.

LOL

It'll be Hedwig's Theme for the main titles, and perhaps one or two other themes once or twice in fitting places throughout the score. Nothing more I guess... and hope. The mere idea of Williams writing themes and having Doyle score the movie with them is (sorry) insane. And the resulting score would be really poor.

Marian - wondering if people will get so hostile when in twenty years Doyle leaves the fourth part of some series to another composer.

I predict that the poster for The Order of the Phoenix will be purely black and white.

Ozzel - who finds the grading grating.

[Composer_Fan 2]

Well,I hope my eyes aren't deceiving me and it's the right John Williams

Guess Again!

[Ren 75]

I hope Doyle does something interesting with the themes and is not a hack job in the movie LOL MSM, thanks for your sig. It's refreshing to see how much Harry has changed.

[Mr. Breathmask 555]

That's puberty for ya. And there was already quite a difference if you compare parts of CoS with parts of PS/SS. Imagine what it'll be like by the time we get to part 7 (assuming the cast makes it that far, which they in all likelihood will).

Philosopher's Stone (2001)

Chamber of Secrets (2002)

The GoF teaser does a pretty good job of showing the difference too, for all three leads (the shots above just keep popping out at me each time I watch the first two films).

[SturgisPodmore 0]

Awesome news!

Look at Marc's pictures . . . everyone looks so pale in POA. It's okay, though, I love the cinemetography in that movie.

~Sturgis

[gkgyver 1,645]

I think Doyle will be using Hedwig's theme and the "friendship" theme, or however you want to call it (the one in Harry's Wondrous World).

I wouldn't even be surprised if Williams' old themes would outdo Doyle's new ones.

So can I make a subtle political refrence in another thread?

Justin

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

The "Window to the Past" theme would be my first choice of thematic continuity in GOF since it's the theme for Harry and Sirius in the kind of sub-trilogy that is POA, GOF and OOTP.

[King Mark 3,631]

Well,that Mugglenet site still hasn't caught up on the news.There distracted by the windswept hair effects of the characters to notice important details like we do.

He's clearly referring to the Geisha vs. GOF thread.

John Williams themes ARE in GoF!

Thats good. I hope John Williams themes are incorporated into Doyle's score, instead of cut and paste from previous HP films.

[TownerFan 4,983]

The fact JW name is on the poster is probably a kind of contractual obligation with John Williams that Warner Bros had to respect.

[Josh500 1,615]

Yeah, it definitely says "Harry Potter Themes by John Williams." What good news!!! I'm kinda starting to think that not only will GoF have Hedwig's Themes, but all of the major themes from the previous three scores, like Harry's Wondrous World, Fawkes the Phoenix, Windows to the Past, and so on. After all, why else would it say in plural THEMES??? Patrick Doyle just wrote the themes for the new characters, the underscore, and conducted the whole thing (or not). Or am I being too optimistic (or pessimistic, depending on how you look at it).

Granted Patrick Doyle IS one talented composer, but he may be not up to such a huge blockbuster yet . . . after all, what is the biggest movie he's done so far? Bridget Jones? Sense and Sensibility?

My two cents.

[Romão 2,274]

Voldemort's theme has to be in this score. The graveyard scene would such a great oportunity to show the theme in its full glory.

[Josh500 1,615]

I think the poster looks great, but Hermione (or should I say Emma Watson) is looking like she's thinking What the heck am I doing here again???

LOL

[Romão 2,274]

She looks like she has a gun pointed in her back.

[Josh500 1,615]

She looks like she has a gun pointed in her back.

Yeah, that's Ron (or should I say Rupert Grint?).

[Romão 2,274]

But the look on his face, I don't think it's a gun that he has pointed in his back.

[MSM 126]

Finally there's another girl besides Hermione. They look good btw, especially them

[Josh500 1,615]

Finally there's another girl besides Hermione. They look good btw, especially them

Yeah, they both look great, but can you believe the other girl (forgot her name -- Flora, maybe?) is 22 in real life??? She looks the same age as Emma.

[Bart 0]

I think that Doyle opted to use Williams themes where he felt they were good and uses his own themes where they fit. I don't think that he was forced to used some specific themes. He's smart enough to know he can't open the picture without Hedwig's Theme playing.

[King Mark 3,631]

Well,it can range from a "Superman 2" or as someone mentionned a "contractual obligation" .

K.M.

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

Oh dear goodness, let it not be a "Superman 2".

Ozzel - imagining "Arrival of Baby Harry" for a Quidditch match scene.

[MSM 126]

can you believe the other girl (forgot her name -- Flora, maybe?) is 22 in real life??? She looks the same age as Emma.

She's not looking very feminine, I guess that was a condition at the auditions
