I'm glad to see this discussion. While not a music expert or even  
well-educated about music, as a movie viewer, I both like and dislike John  Williams' 
work.  
 
His original work is often great but I find his work repetitive, sometimes  
to the point of distraction. The first time I became aware of this was  when 
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released. In the scene where Indy is  mourning the 
"death" of Miriam, there is a sequence right out of Star Wars. It  was so 
clearly from elsewhere, that it snapped me right out of the movie. 
 
With Chamber of Secrets, there was little new material. If it weren't for  
Fawke's theme, I wouldn't have bought it.
