Or what is the distinction between "friend" and "amigo" in
Parseltongue...? :)

Oh the John Williamsness.  :)

The problem I have with Williams is that all too often he tries to use
music to manipulate the emotions, to kindly inform us that: "This is a sad
scene!", or "This is an awesome special effect!".  Music should set a
tone, but it should not be condescending to the audience.
