* Outside of scores, though, the Weird Sisters' music is great, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l5ACTUo37g "Magic Works"]] being a perfect slow dance song that sounds like something out of a Creator/JohnHughes movie from TheEighties.

TheEighties. "Do the Hippogriff" is also fantastic.

Using "magic" and "magical" so close together is redundant.





* The magically memorable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Li0SWlwe34 "Hedwig's Theme"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7z8HGXVR80 "Prologue"]]. Both carry a sense of mystery and magic in their tunes and melodies, setting the stage for the magical story of Harry James Potter.

* Creator/AlexandreDesplat's score for ''Deathly Hallows Part 1'' has some fantastic moments as well. The music at the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RkRlgYGdbY very beginning]] when Hermione [[spoiler: erases her parents' memories of her]] is heartbreaking, and really captures the feel of that scene, impressing upon the audience that this the beginning of the end of the series. The music when we open to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcpXjt5X58Y Malfoy Manor]] is very sinister, and the music when [[spoiler: just Harry and Hermione]] are in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO20nLhcyFg Godric's Hollow]] is unlike much of the other music in the series... Desplat uses Spanish guitar. And it is beautiful. Oh, and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WytIaqO8pU music]] when [[spoiler: Bellatrix throws the knife at Dobby as he proceeds to Apparate himself, Harry, and Hermione out of Malfoy Manor, which results in his death upon arrival at the beach]] is dripping with anticipation. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZjy6NBzSGE track]] during [[spoiler: Dobby's death]] is a definite TearJerker.

* If you thought the score for the first film was good, Creator/AlexandreDesplat outdid himself in ''Part 2''. Just listen to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cbeb9sdjS4 "The Tunnel"]], music matching the fast-paced ride through Gringotts, and ''especially'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_efSI5_UCxo "Statues"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaxkSlvwzpo "Courtyard Apocalypse"]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVCXjuf1biY "Battlefield"]], similar heartbreaking yet inspirational pieces used during the Battle of Hogwarts.
