I hope this guy is as good as the other one. I would seriously prefer to have the other composer back but I guess we'll have to see what sort of music he produces. I hope he stays with the same feeling as we got from the first four movies.

Oooh, he is a good writer. I hope the music is as wonderful as it was in POA. The music for that film was exquisite and by far my favorite.
Hopefully we will get a sample soon.

Very nice. I like it when directors call on favorite compoasers. It really says something of the composers ability. Or, then again, maybe just of the director's taste.

I am glad to hear that these have been confirmed. But in reality I am just glad that they are finally moving ahead and we are that much closer to July 13, 2007.

Haha, Helena beat Helen to the part by an 'a'. Well, Hooper must be good, but what happened to John Williams? Is he still alive, Geri?

Yates and Hooper have worked together before so that's awesome to hear. The music is an essential part of the movie. I think it's gonna be great. Helena Bonham Carter looks like she'll make a great Bellatrix.

Helena Bonham Carter! The one from The Corpse Bride! Awesome. I wonder what she looks like as a Bellatrix. I'd have to Google her. And awesome about the music scoring though I have no connaissance in that field :P

Hmmm... Good news about the confirmations. Not sure how I feel yet about Helena... not that I don't like her, but I have mixed feelings about her as a choice.

Helena Bonham Carter? Wow, that is very good news! She is an amazing actress. I just hope that they can make her look a little taller as I have always imagined Bellatrix to be tall and stately looking. Not petite at all.

Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange? I can definitely see that, as long as she dyes her hair black. I was sort of hoping Peta Wilson would be Bellatrix; I think she's the best choice for her.

Nicholas Hooper? Not John Williams? Well at least he used to work with David Yates, so that they understand what the other want for the movie.
Helena Bonham Carter? No!!!
