Despite the great reception, reviews and box office takings not a single Harry Potter film has received an Academy Award. It’s received plenty of nominations over the years (9 in total) for categories such as cinematography, art direction, visual effects, and John Williams received a nod for his Prisoner of Azkaban score, but none walked [...]

Mugglenet are today relaying a rumour that legendary composer John Williams may return to the Harry Potter franchise to score the final installment.
First reported by Brazilian fansite Potterish, it appears that Warner Brothers Brazil has leaked the news although it has yet to be confirmed.
Williams, who hasn’t scored a Harry Potter outing since Prisoner of Azkaban, is responsible for much of the most recognisable music in the franchise – most notably the recurring Hedwig’s Theme.
Should the news be confirmed, Williams will presumably replace Part 1 composer Alexandre Desplat for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

Although John Williams hasn't scored a Harry Potter film since Prisoner of Azkaban, I had always hoped that he would return to finish out the epic series. However, the odds of that now happening have seemingly decreased by 100% as the Harry Potter fansite Mugglenet uncovered info buried in a post at Film Score Daily that composer Alexandre Desplat will be behind the music for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. Most recently he has scored Un Prophete, Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Ghost Writer. It's important to note that at this point Desplat has only signed on for Part I, so Part II might be up for grabs. Desplat showed some great talent in his work on Fantastic Mr. Fox and Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Unfortunately, I don't recall the music that well in his scoring of Julie & Julia because the food was a huge distraction, ...

Legendary composer John Williams hasn.t scored a Harry Potter movie since Prisoner of Azkaban though his original Potter theme has been an integral part of every subsequent film. Though the work done without him has been adequate, you just can.t beat the musical brilliance of John Williams and there.s a chance that he may return to wrap the series up musically for the final film. Williams has talked before about his desire to be there for the big finish and it seems there may be efforts under way to get him involved. Leaky Cauldron caught up with Potter producer David Heyman who told them, .We have talked to John Williams and a lot of it will depend on his schedule for [Harry Potter] seven part two. If we can make work , and that's a big if, for his schedule and ours then yes..

The La Times' Hero Complex blog has been updated (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2009/07/harry-potter-countdown-composer-nicholas-hoopers-simpler-style.html) with a new interview featuring Nicholas Hooper, who composed the soundtrack for Half-Blood Prince (as well as its predecessor, Order of the Phoenix). Nicholas talks about the deep drum sounds used for the sequences with Dumbledore, the sadder tones for Draco's theme, and the romantic composition used to exemplify Harry and Ginny's relationship. A slightly new photograph of Harry and Dumbledore was released with the article, which can be seen here (http://www.snitchseeker.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-48175): Image: http://www.snitchseeker.com/gallery/albums/userpics/84186/mURI_temp_0a8e1022.jpg ---Quote--- *You’ve known and worked with David Yates for the last 19 years. How did you feel about taking on a project as big and well-known as the "Harry Potter" movies? Nh: *I was already a fan of Harry Potter from the books.
