#HARRY POTTER MUSIC COMPOSER MOVIE#
The Harry Potter story has been given a soundtrack by some of the biggest names in movie music. Songs such as "Hedwig's Theme," the theme from the first Harry Potter movie, are just as recognizably " Harry Potter" as Daniel Radcliffe's face, and resonate with millions of fans worldwide. Thanks to the skills of world-class composers and musicians, Harry Potter has been brought to life in sound as well as visually. Indeed, without a strong soundtrack a movie would lose focus and have difficulty capturing an audience's imagination. Often forgotten or unappreciated, the soundtrack to a movie is a crucial element of cinematic story telling - giving the audience queues on how they should feel or react, communicating the emotions of the characters, and establishing a backdrop on which each scene unfolds. Although most famous for giving us characters like Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione Granger (played by Emma Watson), and Ron Weasley (played by Rupert Grint), the movies have also given us a wealth of music that has set the tone and created the atmosphere in which the Harry Potter stories get translated onto the big screen. The 8th and final installment, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2, premieres this week and is sure to meet or exceed the expectations established by the first seven movies. The Harry Potter films are one of the most successful franchises in history, and all seven movies that have been released so far are at the top of the box-office earnings list.
