I was hoping that too.  I actually really enjoy listening to the 
soundtrack.  I've been listening to it nonstop in my car for weeks and 
I even have it playing in the background at work.

But I wonder what on earth will happen with the other movies.  The 
main theme on the soundtrack is repeated quite often that it will be 
major overkill (if it isn't already) to have to listen to it that much 
in the other movies.  I do hope that Williams develops songs for more 
of the characters, most notably Snape, Dumbledore, and Hagrid.

I really like the Diagon Alley music on the soundtrack and am kind of 
annoyed that it got totally changed on the film.  But what other music 
was left out?

I wish they had called the "Library Scene" the "Mirror of Erised" 
instead b'c that's more what it focuses on, don't you think?

Oh, and in a reverse omission, my favorite part of the soundtrack is 
around 4:15 of Hedwig's Theme.  It's taken from the trailer and is 
played when Quirrell runs into the Hall screaming "Troll in the 
dungeon."  I just love the music at that part b'c it is so powerful.  
To watch that scene in silence was so weird the first time b'c I think 
I must have watched the trailers 100 times before I saw the movie.
