"With smatterings of IJ and SW thrown in throughout the trailer as 
well. Williams doing the soundtrack will be excellent. He's one of 
the best theatrical composers, if not THE best, out there."

--The best? Erm, no offence or anything, he's just not my favourite. 
Not that it doesn't fit SOME things. BTW I took out my copy of Home 
Alone, and I swear it was almost identical in some spots. I even 
tried to close my eyes throughout the trailer to concentrate on the 
music as someone suggested, but I gave in by the time they walked 
into the great hall.

I have a definite idea of what the HP music should be, and whilst I 
think that the John Williams will do the movie justice, there is 
something about cloisters and Gregorian Chants that seem to go 
together. Having visited many cathederals its a hard get that image 
out of my head. However I don't think that we should turn Hogwarts 
into a monastery. But there MUST be a choir (someone suggested that 
the sorting hat leads it) and I can hear them chanting/singing in 
latin at dawn...

I'm "SURE" that he remember reading something about John Williams 
composing this spring and recording in London in APRIL. If that's 
true (most likely isn't and I most likely made it up. Anyone?) then 
it CAN'T be the HP music.

Who would love to be in the "HP Orchestra". I don't think that they 
need a meager pianist or a sitar player though. (Well I don't 
actually play the sitar, but I'm planning on learning...)
