I agree completely.  It seems to me that many of the people who like the HP 
score are enjoying it most as separate listening on CDs.  I suppose a cynic would 
say that selling CDs is a major task of a movie score, too, but I believe that in 
principle the score should serve promarily to support the action, not overwhelm 
it.  Shower scenes excepted.  John Williams' stuff all sounds the same to me; by 
this point in his career, he could turn over the whole scoring job to some intern 
with copies of his previous work.
