I would have to wholeheartedly agree with you Karen. As I mentioned 
in an earlier post that I did like John Williams - I am not a die-
hard fan of his due to the repetitive thing. I did like Patrick 
Doyle in GOF but I am excited to see what Dario Marianelli can do. I 
saw both P&P and BG and I remember thinking what great music that 
was in the background. In BG the scene with the evil queen was so 
intense mostly due to the music - at least for me it was. I would 
love to hear his music for the dementor scene as well as the 
Department of Mysteries battle. I can just imagine the DOM and 
Sirius' fall. I have goosebumps just thinking about that without 
music, cannot wait to see it with music. I hate to admit it but I 
didn't care for the POA soundtrack - I have liked the others. I feel 
that part of the reason some people didn't like certain scenes in 
POA was due to the soundtrack. IMHO the music adds to the feel of a 
scene and it can also detract. Anyway, I am excited to see how Dario 
handles OotP. Too bad it is over a year away.
