123: The Music of Harry Potter! (Episode)

Topics:

• First on the list is Godric's Hollow Graveyard. Harry and Hermione land in Godric's Hollow, and hear the church choir singing. They make their way into the graveyard where this wonderful piece begins. It is a great addition to the scene and adds a respectfully somber note.
• Next up is Secrets of the Castle. This piece plays in The Prisoner of Azkaban, and contains much of the emotion in the film. It starts out with a simple melody, adding a sense of quiet and slight foreboding.
• Third on the list is Courtyard Apocalypse. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are running through the overrun courtyard of Hogwarts as giants, giant spiders, dementors, and Death Eaters force their way onto the grounds. There are spells flying everywhere, and the trio have to be nimble. The piece contains a constant beat of percussion, as the heartbeat of the castle. The melody is simple yet effective, and adds to the desperate and dying hope of the side of good.
• Much More!
