You can now listen
to an interview with the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix composer, Nicholas Hooper. He discusses working with David Yates, being a fan of the books before he got the job, what he thinks of the movie, music wise and how he came up with the music for the movie.
Thanks Tom.

I saw the film last week and was really impressed with the score! I don't usually notice the music so much while watching films, but his music is so much different than the previous composers. I thought he did a really nice job. :)

Coolie!
Sounds like he did a pretty good job.
I still miss John Williams, but Patrick Doyle did pretty good too.

Who wouldn't miss John Williams? The music for this film seems just as good though. I can't wait to see it with the acting!

I think that there will be a lot to listen for in this new score, and while I think it would be very unfair to compare to John Williams, that cannot be avoided. I just want the music to fit the theme and tone of the film.

I have yet to listen to the soundtracks. I am sure they are great. I didn't realize how much work went into these. I do wonder what influences him to pick the music. I love that the music sounds darker now.

I love it when REAL fans are involved with the movies. I think it makes them better. Nicholas Hooper is amazing, and I can't think about the books or movies without hearing the HP score in my mind.

As he has worked with Yates before, I wonder if he will continue to provide the music for Film 6 too?

It's great that he was able to keep the music just as good for OoTP as John Williams did for the first 4. They are both excellent composers. And I'm very glad he brought back Hedwig's theme.
