John WIlliams has a little more range than people are giving him credit for 
here. ;)  His fanfares certainly don't sound like this music does, but he's 
quite capable of writing music that isn't a fanfare.  You won't find 
anything like this in Superman, or star wars or maybe even Indiana Jones -- 
but I do have the Jurassic Park soundtrack, and there are plenty of things 
that aren't all trumpets blaring. ;)

Maybe William's listened to Elfman for inspiration... ;D  (teehee)

The music at end of the scene with Hermione and her feather, and the 
begginning of the scene in the forbidden forest is practically right out of 
Star Wars. ;)  Right after that, all of that trumpeting is just screaming 
Williams at me. ;)  Elfman isn't as obsessed with making sure the trumpets 
always have something to play... Sort of that pisses me off about Williams, 
actually. I play clarinet, but the brass got all the good parts!

When the bludger is let free -- I think of Star Wars again.

And the woodwinds always get those horrible parts where you just play the 
same freaking note five million times fast. So Williamsy (think Superman... 
I hate playing that thing...)
