THE MUSIC
John Williams (Star Wars, ET, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park) composed the mu- sic for the first three films, like the famous “Hedwig’s Theme”, the leitmotif of the Harry Potter films, and “Double Trouble”, the classic Hogwarts motif with a children’s choir, as well as the funny “Aunt Marge’s Waltz” and “Witches, Wands and Wizards”.
Titles like the „Hogwarts Hymn” by Patrick Doyle, from the fourth Harry Potter film remind the audience of the mysterious and dark world of the Triwizard Tournament.
Nicholas Hooper has composed „Dumbledore’s Farewell” for the fifth and sixth Harry Potter films. He helped to shape and mature the Harry Potter music.
Alexandre Desplat created „Lily`s Theme” and has composed the music for the last two instalments of the film series - a grand and unforgettable final and musical experience.
The music is performed by The London Symphonic & Philharmonic Film Orc- hestra, which has been created for the Harry Potter concerts.
