I  don't
intend to go see OOTP.


Sherry - why not??  I can't wait to see it - despite all the  problems with 
the films, they still capture a lot of the heart of the HP books,  and I love 
the cast in them.  I'm hoping we'll get to see some stills from  it soon (but I 
know that's dreaming!)
 
And as for your John Williams discussion - I thought the music in  GoF was 
nice and fairly appropriate and none of it was memorable (well, except  for that 
"Do the Hippogriff" song which was interesting because of its very  
difference - but I don't go around humming it as I do the JW themes from the  earlier 
films).   JW writes in the great orchestral tradition, yup,  and there's not a 
thing wrong with that.  His "Superman," "Star Wars," "ET"  - and he did 
Indiana Jones' music too, right? - those are all filled with  powerful, memorable 
music.  We listen to sound tracks of JW's music a  lot.  Great music to drive to 
on long trips - very uplifting!   

Seachange - sounds like you may be in the industry.  I know a lot  of things 
go on behind the scenes that the rest of us don't hear about, but  perhaps JW 
wasn't "auditioning" so much as offering an idea of what he thought  he might 
do for the main themes?  I can see the producers asking for that  kind of 
thing.  But I'm not in the industry, just an interested observer. .  .
