Harry Potter Question

What did you think about Alexandre Desplat's work with the soundtrack for Deathly Hallows Part 2?

Personally, I thought it set the correct mood in the beginning of the movie with "Lily's Theme" (which is truly a beautiful piece). It was resolved at the end of the movie wonderfully with "A New Beginning" as well.

Both scores (for Parts 1 AND 2) are gorgeous. I'm very sensitive to music in a film. I'm a huge fan of movie soundtracks and usually, there are several pieces I don't like. But here, Desplat did a wonderful job with both movies as I love all of them ! For sure, I'll buy the CDs for both soundtracks.

I noticed for Severus' memories, that Desplat used, for the final part, when Severus hugged Lily and when he learned that Harry had to die, a track that sounded very much like a track I love to pieces from the HBP movie ("Dumbledore's Killing") by Nicholas Hooper - who had made a terrific job for the HBP movie too - which is itself inspired from the "Possession" piece in the OotP movie (still by the same N. Hooper). I love when there's a filiation, a continuity, between the movies and the pieces, even if the music has been composed by different composers, even if they had given their own sensitivity to their respective works.

I just got wrong on the HBP track : It's not "Dumbledore's Killing" but "Dumbledore's Farewell" that I had meant. Typical me.
