Also received my order. Thank you, wizards of La-La Land. This is a great one. Love the audio quality. Especially fond of the new music from the third movie!
Only complaint: wish the track lists had been on the back of the CD boxes or in the booklets of the CDs themselves, instead of in the separate booklet. But this is a small one, guys.
I'm actually amazed that, in spite of this being John Williams and Harry Potter, there are stil units for sale of this box.

It's great to have all of the music from the first two films. They're a lot of fun, the first one is pretty iconic at this point, and second one really benefits from being able to hear how the “Chamber of Secrets” theme develops over the course of the score.
But Prisoner of Azkaban is up there with my favorite John Williams scores ever. Despite the more textural approach to certain elements of the story, it is nevertheless bursting with ideas and activity. “Double Trouble” is such an earworm. Since receiving this set on Saturday, I've listened to all of it, but as good as the first two scores are, Prisoner of Azkaban is just divine.
VERY interesting to hear what Williams recorded for the end credits — I have to say that I like the (extremely well-done) cue montage that takes over after the “A Window to the Past” sequence a bit better in context of the film, but I quite like the original recording as a piece of music. Obviously Williams was open to the idea of recapping the score with the suite of cues, as it is not only his assembly in the film (there are some really subtle bits there, like when “Buckbeak's Flight” segues into the tail end of “The Rescue of Sirius”), but a variation of thereof on the album as well.
