What is your favourite Harry Potter score? Just saw Prisoner of Azkaban again on TV last night and was thinking it was a pretty damn fine score... Any thoughts (or has this been covered before?)

THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE on top followed by THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN.

Yes -- without question AZKABAN.

Goblet of Fire is the one I listen to most - although even that isn't very often. If there's a demand in the car to hear a Potter score when the girls are with the us, I think I'd usually put Azkaban on, as it's more of a crowd pleaser overall.

4 by a long shot.
then nothing for a long, long time, followed by last two by desplat (Pt 2 more than Pt 1), then 5, 6, 2, 3, 1.

No love for Williams, eh? Well, you deserve credit for an unusual ranking! smile

Prisoner of Azkaban....it's pretty much perfect.

You have such bizarre taste. Doyle's score is good, though it's mainly successful in the first two-thirds of the movie, but how could you possibly put the 2nd score, largely made up of retreads from the first score, before Azkaban AND the original score (I admit that the first one runs the theme into the ground)???

Desplat's first score was all right ("Sky Battle" and "Farewell To Dobby" are both great), but his second score was almost 100% a snoozefest. So much so, that Yates should have got top billing over Desplat, as how could Desplat write SUCH uninspired dreck without Tin Ear Yates requesting it?

Three and four are interchangeable for top spot, followed by 2, 1, 6, 5.

I own the Deathly Hollow scores but dislike them both intensely.

Prisoner of Azkaban or Goblet of Fire.

Probably Goblet of Fire, though it's been a while since I've watched the films. After Goblet of Fire, I would have the first three as runners-up (not sure of the order I would put those three in though).

Pretty much the same with an edge to Azkaban. As for Desplat, I don't dislike so much as am indifferent (bored) to.

I'm going with Chamber of Secrets here simply because of the cue The Flying Car. Which is a wonderful throwback to those great Williams set pieces like Trip to Earth From Superman. It also has has the superb spider sequence.

Goblet of Fire gets my vote.

The John Williams scores outdistance any of the others by a long shot. I was very happy to hear the ending of the first score at the conclusion of the series. While none of the other scores are
bad, they somehow lack the magic that Williams created in the first three.

I totally agree! And my personal favorite is The chamber of secrets, All the old themes and lots of great new ones and in concert arrangments wich are very satisfying.
