HPANA has learned from a reliable and authoritative source that UK composer Nicholas Hooper
will score the soundtrack for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Hooper is a long-time collaborator of director David Yates and most of his credits are for television projects in Britain.
He won a BAFTA for Best Original Score in 2004 for one such project, according to a biography on his agents' web site.
Order of the Phoenix is slated to be released July 13, 2007.
UPDATE: This news was confirmed by Warner Bros. on August 2.

NO! I'm really starting to get annoyed with these movies, they ruin Harry Potter in my opinion.

Sometimes 'new' blood is a good thing. Let's wait and see how it plays out and if he gets the job - good luck to him!

I loved the soundtrack to Goblet of Fire and am looking forward to the new energy this fellow will most likely bring to the movie. All the soundtracks have been fantastic!

Hmm, I dont' think I know him. Oh well. I wonder if they are going to have a different composer for movies 6 and 7? I don't mind if it isn't williams, I did like Doyle. As long as the music is good.

I'm highly upset about the fact that Williams has completely abondoned the HP movies...I'm in between anger and sadness...
I feel betrayed.

It will be interesting to have a change in composers. All we can hope though is that he will stay true to the Harry Potter feel. I am looking forward to more news on this.

I dont know who this guy is! I really like Williams. But they should've kept the guy from GOF, Patrick Doyle. That soundtrack was WONDERFUL. They really should have kept him...

Hmmm, I don't know him. I guess I've got to stop keeping my hopes up for John Williams. Well, maybe if he at least comes back for movie 7??? Maybe Hooper will be good.

Well at least we know that IMDB was actually lying. Anyway, let's just wait and see as to what this guy will do with the music, even though Patrick Doyle did do a really good job with GOF.

At least Yates is familiar with Hooper's work. If he is going to compose the music for OotP, I wish him the best of luck.

AuroraDawn, I can't say I agree with you, Patrick Doyle gave the GOF score something original. The earlier scores are a bit too reminiscent of Star Wars.
But this is, of course, just my opinion.
