Each opportunity to pay tribute to that theme and use it, in many ways, you hear celeste play it, the celli play it in another key. Desplat says this makes perfect sense, "You should never forget that Hedwig's theme is the Harry Potter theme. In "Snape's Demise," the misty presence of Harry's mother and Harry's owl Hedwig intermingle. And, now that they are back at Hogwarts, with all their friends, all the kids we've seen growing up through the years, this incredible theme was needed, was calling." The previous film was very much away from the school of Hogwarts, and therefore was going for something more adult. Desplat explains why: "We knew from the start that this last episode would require a bit more of the reference of John Williams' wonderful Hedwig theme. It has both qualities of being very gentle and being very wide and large."Ī musical theme very familiar to Potter fans resurfaces at least seven times throughout this film score. "Later in the film you will hear it played by full orchestra in a very epic moment when a dragon is flying with the three heroes on his back. He also knows he's been protected by his mother's benevolence. Lily is not only the reason he is fighting, he wants to know why his parents died. "This pure crystal clear voice, that to us was the echo, the mist of Lily's presence which has been near Harry all around the years, and maybe also near another character that we discover near the end of the film.
It is of the first hearing, a haunting melody sung by a female voice with no lyrics. A bit ancient, maybe Celtic, but with no Celtic reference in terms of instrumentation. I wanted to find a theme that had a lullaby quality to it, something very gentle and tender.
"The thread that we decided to have was Harry Potter's mother, Lily, who's connected to another character in the film. Desplat says the first thing that was needed was a strong theme to pull the film together. Whether you choose to wear those cardboard glasses or not, this epic finale will be an exciting ride, in part because of the movie soundtrack.Īs soon as French composer Alexandre Desplat completed the score for the first part of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," director David Yates immediately asked him to score Part Two. When the credits began to roll as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 1" came to a close last November, my friend turned to me and said, "I can't wait for Part Two." The final movie in the record-breaking boy wizard series opens July 15th, in 3D.
