Legendary five-time Academy® Award-winning composer John Williams notably crafted the scores for the first three films in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Prisoner of Azkaban each garnered a nomination in the category of “Best Original Score” at the Academy® Awards. Not to mention the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album also achieved a Gold Certification from the RIAA.
Meanwhile, Academy® Award-nominated Patrick Doyle supplied the score for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), while Nicholas Hooper created the music for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009). Two-time Academy Award-winning composer Alexandre Desplat closed out the saga by scoring both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011). The series has impressively generated billions of global streams to date.
Celebrating the legacy of Harry Potter music,American Songwriter retrospectively professed, “Few things were as magical as watching the first three Harry Potter films as a youngster. Even today, when watching them back with a sense of nostalgia, that same whimsy cuts deep, largely thanks to the stellar soundtrack by none other than John Williams.” Beyond cracking north of 81 million Spotify streams, the signature “Hedwig’s Theme” has taken on a life of its own. Classic FM attested, “As soon as we hear those opening notes of ‘Hedwig’s Theme,’ we are immediately whisked away into Harry’s wizarding world through a flurry of strings and that haunting, solo celesta.” Tracking Angle proclaimed, “Even within the context of his catalogue of one classic film score after another, the three films that John Williams scored for the Harry Potter franchise occupy a very special place.”
