I said this once, and nobody seemed to get what I meant, but for me the main
theme in the first movie always, when I'm humming it, manages to segue into
Schindler's List. The only comment I got when I pointed this out a year ago
was that Schindler's List and Harry Potter (as works) were nothing alike,
which had not been what I was saying (I'm not even sure how the responder
*got* there....anyway). Has anyone noticed this?
