I noticed an E.T. and a Star Wars quality, too, but I think that's true of
any composer, especially someone who's written so many soundtracks to some
of the most well-known movies of all time.  I know I can pick a James Horner
score or a Danny Elfman score (who I adore) from a mile away.  I like this
soundtrack immensely, especially the Diagon Alley song, the Fluffy song, the
Quidditch tournament and Hedwig's theme.  I think it has the proper magical
feel and a wonderful feeling of excitement.
