.
Nicholas Hooper will score David Yates' Half-Blood Prince, due out next year. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is expected to be released in 2010.

I sure hope he does!
He's an amazing composer and the other scores just haven't
been the same without his original material!

I hope he does!
He's done superb things that others just can't do! It would be fantastic to end the movie half of the series with him. He's one of the greatest composers ever.

I definitely remember his scores more than the others so I'm definitely glad he'll be back to finish off the series.
It'll make the ending of the series a little more bearable, i suppose.

Hmmm ... I don't know whether I'm that excited by this news or not. Yes, he's amazing, but I also loved what Nicholas Hooper did with Order of the Phoenix too!
It's all good anyway - what if they both collaborate?!!

Too bad Williams won't be scoring HBP, it should be his, he is brilliant.
I hope that Williams will be there for the final, DH, he should be so much of what we think of when we think of HP is due to his work.

That is so cool. He is the greatest movie composer EVER! I hope so much that he can come back and do the last one. I would be great for the HP franchise.

He has always done such an amazing job where the score of the movie is concerned, I really hope they stick with him for the last film, That way the music style will stay the same as it has been for the past Potter films.

I really hope he is the composer. I have loved his music from the other films. It is always so perfect in capturing the mood and feel of the storyline.

Well...I have always liked his music....but I really don't know why he hasn't been doing the movie's music for the past couple of movies. He should have been doing the music for all the movies.

This is great. I really hope that he does come back. His scores are by far the best. I really enjoyed the first 3 HP soundtrack the most.

Yeah, it would be really great if he came back...
He's definitely the best, compared to all the composers who worked on the HP films...

Whoa, that's great news. He is by far and away the best thematic composer.
I loved his theme score for the final season of Lost in Space.
He really is terrific.

Oh he's just the best!
I really wish he can return for HBP! But if not, he really should for the last movie at least!
I love his musical scoring of the 3rd -- its still his music that rings in my ear. I love it. The scorer for the 4th movie is also good -- but his music lacks the same intensity and drama and magic as John Williams' pieces. John Williams actually had more number music material for the 3rd too!
My favorite is "A Window to the Past" --> goodness its haunting! As haunting as his 3 compostions for Star Wars (Luke Skywalker's Theme, Leia's Theme and Darth Vader's Theme) -- just wow!

Oi! That makes me think -- John Williams should also compose a theme each for the trio -- plus Dumbledore, Snape and Voldemort! Hedwig already has one!
Hedwig's Theme -- is actually already like the Harry Potter theme. He needs to do a "Ron Weasley Theme" that will be played in the Silver Doe-Locket Horcrux scene!
Hermione's Theme
Dumbledore's Theme
Snape's Theme
Voldemort's Theme
