The medley “Harry’s Wondrous World” is a great summation of all the work Williams put into leitmotifs for characters and events. The first film is all very innocent and light to capture Harry’s curiosity and wonder at this new world he’s in, and the score perfectly matches this. The music never got too dark or gritty (even with the Voldemort scenes towards the end) other composers and directors down the line would explore that route for the future films. Honestly, this was the perfect score to introduce the world to Harry Potter on the big screen. And, of course, seeing Hogwarts for the first time, and the magic it all contains… Williams really took from previous films like E.T. It’s hard to not smile at this combination! I love the “Dragon Alley” music - it’s so “Petrushka” in a way, really capitalizing on a chamber music setting as if there is a band of wizards actually playing here. Williams’ colorful orchestration blends so well with Chris Columbus’ bright colors of the film. The celesta was also a large part of not just this track, but the soundtrack as a whole - it has such a magical sound that I have come to adore. John Williams was a strong start for the series, and he produced another wonderful score - “Hedwig’s Theme” alone has become such a promotional image of the series! Heck, I keep seeing that the violin part of “Hedwig’s Theme” is used as audition material for major orchestras! The final film released in 2011, as I was really beginning to fall in love with the music world, and I went back through the series’ scores many times since.
