Well,i doubt it's too early to begin discussions on the last HP film. Since Half-Blood Prince is almost finished,how would this be done? Or rather,what would you expect to see? I know one thing..there will be plenty of deaths..

I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who truly found Hooper memorable.

Hooper did write some memorable music, although for me most it was in OOTP. The more memorable ones were the Ministry possession montage ("Possession"), the Dumbledore's Army scenes ("The Room of Requirement") and Umbridge's theme plus a few scattered pieces. It was more than enough for me to buy the CD. HBP was where I felt Hooper was slumming it. There's the superb "Draco's Mission", "In Noctem", "Dumbledore's Farewell", "The Friends" and "Journey to the Cave." But for me the suspense scenes, and the climatic revelation felt badly underscored.

For me, Desplat's score had that emotion and flair that Hooper's scores lacked. Dark and emotionally-charged sequences like Godric's Hallow, the graveyard scene and Malfoy Manor are superbly scored, and throughout the film I noticed lots of motifs and themes for different characters. All of those themes developed and blossomed throughout, something that hasn't been done in the films since "Goblet of Fire".

So what scene is everyone looking forward to in part 2?

 

[Sawyer]

HYYYYYYYYPE!!!!!!!

Why does the bot title the new threads "part 1"? At the very least shouldn't they be titled "part 2" as the stupid bot is the one who closed the implied part 1. So stupid and senseless...

In any worry, this is the only thread where his titles make sense!

 

[O'Haire]

So what scene is everyone looking forward to in part 2?

Gringotts.

Been looking forward to that scene ever since I read DH.

Worldwide gross: $942,440,768

This is the #2 highest grossing film in the series which i think we knew last week but anyway it'll be number three highest grossing domestically at least after this weekend I think, only needing to edge out OotP's $292,004,738 (DH domestic is at $291,340,768) which will put it behind HBP and SS. This one had pretty good legs I think. I totally thought it was going to hit a brick wall at around 280m.

It's a bot. It's stupid and it doesn't have feelings.

Battle at Hogwarts. Those early scenes in the first teaser looks like Yates and the producers amped up the battle to a epic scale. I especially like the clip of Voldemort leading his Death Eaters with a loud 'Charge!'. As for a smaller scene, Snape's death.

I thought we're all waiting for Part 2 and we've already seen Part 1? Oh wait... it's

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I know this is off topic, but am I the only one confused by the fact it copies post 1 from the first thread, so that means banned people have been posting all day.

I can agree his score had more emotion than Hoopers, but there were alot of motifs hooper used, and fleshed out (Luna's theme, Possesion motif, In Noctem, Draco's mission [used moreso in the film than on album]), but that's a fair enough assesment.

So what scene is everyone looking forward to in part 2?

The Battle of Hogwarts, and the King's cross scene.

 

[Fanticon]

VFX Oscar nom and art direction/production design for Deathly Hallows pt. 1, also a congratulations in order for Desplat on his Kings Speech score nom.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

lmao @ the name of this thread.

 

[chaseter]

Thread manager screwed up the title hahaha FIRE HIM.

Also currently at 942 million.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Yeah, I think a mod should at least change the title to part 2.

 

[Fanticon]

ok so we've all joked about the title has anybody brought it up to a mod yet?

 

[Marvolo]

Lol a thread for part 2 will end up being Deathly Hallows-part 2 part 1 lol

 

[ComicChick]

what would you like the title changed to?

also, please be sure to spoiler integral scenes or spoilers as there are many who haven't read the books or know what will happen in Part 2.

thanks

Just "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows" works.

I noticed a lot more motifs Desplat introduced in DH. A new Order theme, a theme for the Trio, motif for Voldemort and the Death Eaters (an additional one for Bellatrix), motifs for Dobby, et al. Probably close to a dozen IMO.

And for those fans who complained about Desplat abandoning the style Hooper and Doyle did -- he did pay some stylistic nods to them throughout the score. Plus Hooper and Desplat like using softer instruments and percussion throughout, while Doyle emphasized brass and strings more.

I couldn't stand it anymore, the thread title is changed.

Too bad about half of the soundtrack went unused..

Agreed. I can feel nods to "In Noctem" throughout the will. Alot of percussion on the DH score got edited out of the album though.
