Harry Potter Soundtrack Review 2
A review of the soundtrack from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. Composed by Alexander Desplat, the soundtrack has been well-received by Desplat and Potter fans alike.
Highlights from the Soundtrack
Obliviate: This sets the tone for the whole movie. It’s dark, and a more matured opening to the Harry Potter series.
Snape to the Malfoy Manner: My personal favorite, this driving track captures Snape’s seriousness and is a dark, epic addition to the scene.
Ministry of Magic: It could also be called “Umbridge’s Theme,” and isn’t as dark as I would’ve expected. That’s not necessarily a bad thing–it was a nice change, and made the Ministry scene sort of comical.
Lovegood: Desplat does a great job of capturing the sheer quirkiness of Xenophelius Lovegood, in a mysterious, ominous way.
