Kind of old news but Desplat at Cannes said this about the JW theme, (it has been translated)
"We will start this summer, it will take me all summer, I will not have many holidays, but again it's for good reason, for the soundtrack. I would take every opportunity to use the fabulous theme written by John Williams, I'd say it has not sufficiently used in the latest movies, so if I have the opportunity and if the footage allows me, I'm going to arrange it, to give it another meaning... Well, I have no obligation to use it but I shall make it with great honor and pleasure."
'Half Blood Prince' is playing on HBO right now and after watching this again I am starting to get a little excited for the final two films. Never really was a HP fan, nor have I read the books, but I really enjoyed the cinematography and score from 'Half Blood Prince' and can't help but think that Yates will get some great stuff from Serra and Desplat.

Eduardo Serra and Alexandre Desplat both worked on "Girl With a Pearl Earring", with the results being outstanding. Serra received an Oscar nomination, and as far as I'm concerned he should have won (Desplat did receive BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations, but alas they didn't translate into Oscar recognition). So I can't wait to see what they both do with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". Obviously, despite the film being split in half for its theatrical presentation, Serra worked on the whole project, so there will be continuity in the cinematography, but I definitely hope this ultimately applies to Desplat as well (ie that he also scores 'Part II').

This is definitely going to be Desplat's biggest project to date, and put a measly vampire movie in its place. I just hope WaterTower Music will do pressed CDs instead of going the digital/CDR on demand route.
Given Desplat's past scores, he justs keeps getting better and better. This score will definitely not disappoint.
+1
Desplat is my favourite composer at the moment. Williams has ostensibly retired and no one else generates the same enthusiasm towards upcoming releases except for Desplat these days. this is going to be a terrific score I think.

Couldn't agree more. Desplat is the number one composer for me these days even if a lot of people (especially in the US) seem to find his style underwhelming. He continues the tradition set by excellent French composers like Delerue and Jarre. Now if only Philippe Rombi could get his foot in the door in Hollywood. He's written some gorgeous music.
