Music composer Patrick Doyle
, who is currently working on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire comments on being lucky to be chosen to score the movie, the amount of work it has been, his favorite scores and his battle with leukemia.
Doyle on working on the score:
You have to be at the top of your game all the time to keep on top of it. I read the script before they started shooting. My involvement has gone on for a year, and I've written zillions of themes for it. People who have read the book will know that it is very dense in terms of its storyline, and all of the imagery is very big.
Doyle has previously worked with director Mike Newell
on Donnie Brasco and Into the West and will start work on Eragon next year.

What? They have a new composer? I hope he stays similar to John Williams' work, I love the music in the other movies!! They're making a movie out of Eragon? Yes! Has anyone read Inkheart? They're making a movie out of that as well. Haha That has nothing to do with Patrick Doyle, or at least I don't know yet, I'm just excited. But I'm most excited for Harry Potter #4. Anyway, I'm just veering off here, so I'll stop.
Happy Trails!

I liked John Williams. I wonder if Doyle will steal John's earlier work, like the Harry Potter theme song.
This is really upsetting, it "almost" makes me not want to see the movie.

Actually, I'm a bit angry. I don't really like change that much and I'm extremely nervous. It won't be the same.

Why don't they just keep the same composer...? I mean, it's nice for a change but it seems like the music should be somewhat constant.
Hopefully it isn't very different.

Best of luck to Patrick. I for one am a big fan of John Williams, however. I hope Patrick can fill his shoes, which are very large.

I hope they didn't get rid of Williams. They are always changing a good thing. Why not change the music.

The music in the HP films is always superb. I'm sure that he did an excellent job composing the music for Goblet of Fire. I can't wait to buy the soundtrack.

We are dying for the GoF soundtrack to come out here at my house -- we'll get it on the day it comes out. I am so much more familiar with John Williams' work than Patrick Doyle's (of course), but I am excited nonetheless. I expect great things!
Best wishes for future good health, Patrick Doyle!
And I'm sooo happy the comments are back too! Thanks, guys!

Wow, the comments are back up! I can't believe someone else is doing the music! What happened to John Williams? I hope they still have Hedwig's Theme, that song totally makes the HP films!
