I'm here! And the soundtrack

[Amanda]

I bought the soundtrack, and it came today, and having the little ones 
to feed and bed down, it was playing in the background. I correctly 
named, by sound alone, Diagon Alley and the Quidditch game, and the 
rest of it was very good. Distinct moods illustrated in music.

Track 2, the music for the letters arriving, and a recurring theme 
elsewhere, is distinctly reminiscent of "Batman," but that also 
required a swoopy, dive-y, fantasy, hint-of-dark feel, so that makes 
sense. A couple of the opening bars to this theme persistently take me 
back to a theme from "Schindler's List," but not obtrusively so.

I could have told you, without knowing it, that John Williams wrote 
it, but I think he did a good job.
