Yikes, I am posting a lot in one day! :O

I have listened to the soundtrack several times, and my son (almost 14)
has been blaring it for days from his room (yes, I am programming them 
into HP).  I like pretty much all of it,  yet I did miss that touch of 
John Williams, too.  I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't what 
I got.  I'm not saying I don't like it, because I do.  Does any of 
this make sense? o_O  

I like the Irish music a lot, and loved the part where he gets the 
golden egg.  Love the "Do the Hippogriff" song from the ball, too. 
Also, the music where Harry asks Cho to the ball seemed to fit well, 
and when we see him back in the common room, holding the egg on his 
chest, he looks so forlorn.  But where was that lovely haunting music 
from PoA?  I couldn't get enough of that soundtrack.  The music was so 
moving.  I guess we can say that since each of the movies is 
different, the soundtracks are different, too.  I wonder how much 
input the directors have when it comes to the music?  

I liked the GoF soundtrack, but not as much as PoA.  So much for my 
mixed up opinions! :D
