Caius: "Ennio Morricone is alive and well (at least he was last I 
checked) his latest filmscore was for Brian DePalma's Mission to Mars 
which came out last spring."

I wish I could call Morricone's work to mind. I think Hogwarts is 
timeless (as someone else said here) and the score should not be 
contemporary. It should evoke a connection to the traditions of magic; 
perhaps sound somewhat Celtic. I thought Patrick Doyle would have been 
a good choice. When I heard it was John Williams I was afraid the 
movie would be bombastic and grandiose as the music.

Amy:"I'm so glad he's still with us!  Okay, then.  First choice 
Morricone, second choice Knopfler (who's influenced by Morricone BTW), 
75th choice Williams.CM, I'd like to know why you intend not to see 
the movie.  I have a lot of pros and cons going around my own head but 
I know when it comes down to it I'll be in line--AND that I'll be 
disappointed.  Heck, I'm  eagerly awaiting the first trailer (I almost 
never go to the movies,  though, so I'll probably miss it)."

I will go see it, partly because I have two young daughters and I 
won't be able to say no. I am ambivalent because I don't want to 
reward Warner Brothers in the not unlikely event they slaughter the 
story. I *hate*  being a willing victim. I don't want to ruin the 
future books for my kids, but that's probably impossible.
