YES! I was so dissapointed when I heard that John Williams was 
writing the music, and not Hans Zimmer. I think Williams is a great 
composer, but I just really didn't think his music was right for the 
books. The first book, perhaps, but not the second, and certainly not 
the 3rd and 4th. He just can't get dark enough, but I suppose he's 
signed a 3 film contract, like most of the rest of the cast and crew. 

I thought the PS score had its moments, but on the whole I found it 
to emotionless and kitsch for Harry Potter. If Hans Zimmer had done 
it, there's no doubt that we *would* have had a better film (IMHO, it 
was his score that made the difference of Gladiator being a very good 
film and a fantastically special film).
