My standby for finding info on any movie-related person is http://www.imdb.com
.  John Williams is one of my favorites too, and I'm a little disappointed that
he's dumping Potter.  However, he is in great demand and usually does about 5
films a year (plus he's no spring chicken).  He may have simply got a better
offer, or else WB just wanted a different sound.

Patrick Doyle is also wonderful and has done quite a few fantasy films (he's
currently doing Eragon!).  My personal favorites of his are Quest for Camelot
(animated) and A Little Princess (directed by Alfonso Cuaron, who directed
Azkaban).  Doyle also did Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Bridget Jones's
Diary.  Go look on IMDb.  You'll be impressed, or at least reassured.
