Yes, definitely Death of Cedric. I love that piece. I actually really like the GoF 
soundtrack. Williams becomes much too much the same after a while. I found that 
this soundtrack was lucious in all the right places, charming in others and did not 
ever sound like rehashed Star Wars, which seems to happen from time to time with 
Williams. I like JW, I really do, but it's nice to have something new. This is defintely the 
spot to do it since the character of the novels changes at this point too. The main 
Potter theme is there just enough. I really liked the academic feel of the Hogwart's 
Hymn. I know some consider Doyle kind of maudlin, but I really felt he had a great 
touch for this movie.
