HP7.2 has already sold more tickets than every other film in history combined, times a million, plus one. With any luck it'll shift Avatar off the top of the box office charts and send James Cameron crying into his golden goblet of dodo blood, although probably not because LIFE'S NOT FAIR.
For the second part of our Harry Potter playlist, Nicholas Hooper and Alexandre Desplat (Eng. trans.: Alexander Of Splat) take over with two films each. John Williams' work can't possibly be equalled, and Hooper doesn't seem to try, but Desplat brings class and excitement to the two-part finale.

What has The Incredible Suit got up his tailored sleeve relating to #30?
None of the above.
ReplyDeleteWarning - do not listen to Playlist #29 if suffering from depression or alone or if any sharp objects are within reach.
ReplyDeleteFireworks has sounds that used to be made by Jimmy Hendrick's Stratocaster, In Noctem is a beautiful choral work with piercing treble descants, Dumbledore's farewell is like Faure's Requiem and Obliviate is pretty glum too, the heavy sombre bass rolls out again for Ron Leaves, heavy stuff again for Lovegood, The Elder Wand is very dark with more bass, Lily's theme is a celtic haunting vocal melody with yet more rumbling bass, Dragon Flight is at last an upbeat tune and the music is less depressing until Voldemort's End or it should be Voldemort's Mort which is grim once more and at last A New Beginning is an upbeat pleasant symphonic sound if you get to it without slashing your wrists.
Final thought. I have yet to see HP Part 1 or 2 but judging by the music I expect it to be a very sombre experience with nothing to laugh at. Is it better just to forget the last two HP films?
