OH THANK YOUUUUUU!! OMG fist pump YES!!!

I have some similar concerns to rotfang. I must admit, I’m not an avid movie-goer but even I can tell when Williams is involved. His distinctive style, unfortunately, isn’t always appropriate for the movie and often becomes just “John Williams”.

That said, I don’t plan to take earplugs. I’m just going to go, hope for the best, and probably cry like a baby at least twice, regardless of what the background music is doing.

Oh, and I think everyone should watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk5_OSsawz4 . You’ll never hear John Williams the same again—-but it’ll be for the better (or for even better, if you’re already a die-hard fan).

I LOVE John Williams!! He has composed the music for some of the best films ever made (HP and STAR WARS!!) I am glad to hear that he is coming back!!

Fantastic!!! I look forward to hearing the music!

YESSSS!!!!

THAT’S THE GREATEST NEWS that I ever have read since “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”. Welcome back to Harry Potter, Mr. John Towner Williams ! He compose the most fascinating, manifold and intoxicating scores!

I was soo happy when i read this this morning. I LOVED his scores.. :) i just cant wait

While I understand rotfang’s sentiments, I must say that I am thrilled by this announcement. I feel that Mr. Williams’ grandiose, orchestral style fits Harry’s world perfectly.

When you listen to his scores for films like E.T., Jurassic Park and even bits of Star Wars, it is clear that Williams is a master at adding a sense of mystery and magic to what can be very dark subject matter. He does, indeed have a very definite (some say, repetitive) style but I believe that Williams knows how to perfectly adapt that style to suit the style of the film. His work for A.I. was not bombastic or frantic but sweet and innocent and his score for Prisoner of Azkaban is, in my mind, one of his best.

Most of all, I like the idea of Williams “bookending” the film series, musically. I think that he will masterfully weave the themes he created for the first three films (hopefully not excluding the wonderful work by his successors) into a tapestry of sound that will compliment the final film beautifully.

Is it 2011 yet?

YESSSSSS!!! Even though I liked “When Ginny Kissed Harry” and “Harry and Hermione,” I loved “A Window To The Past,” “Harry’s Wonderous World,” and “Fawkes the Phoenix”!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!

this is fantastic news!!! finally we’ll get musical perfection like in PoA. =)

I hope it’s true POA was great and it would be nice continuity. You know what’s cool? We know they’re going to have the scene in DH pt II where Ron and Hermione go into the Chamber of Secrets. It would be cool if Williams reprises the same music as when they opened the entrance in the bathroom in the second movie! I loved that musical cue.

Finally! John Williams returns to Harry Potter! The perfect way to end the series. His music for Harry Potter is THE definitive soundtrack, and it is fitting that he should be involved in the end.
