Your very welcome!

Thank you for uploading!

So far from what I've heard from AOL this is my favorite song!

[RyanDowell]

Your Welcome! I agree, the Choral HP theme is fantastic along with the epic orchestral rhythm!

This film has not one of the best openings for the HP films, but one of the best openings ever.

I was so impressed, the music is so deep and moving and so fills you with how empty and sad Harry was when Sirius died.

I also liked that the film didn't have any opening credits, Harry Potter the story is important, not who played who.

...I miss John Williams.

Hooper's pretty good too, mind you. He has a very different style- more dramatic and big, and... brilliant, yes. He's brilliant.

@BarbaraPloyer333 John Williams' music would not have fit for the later movies.

@bonneavent LOL it really isn't...I never would have expected this video to ever get this many views to be honest lol. I uploaded it before the soundtrack had came out just to get it out to the fans :)

I was not at all a fan of Hooper's scores for HP. In fact, I didn't even bother buying the soundtracks.

But I will admit that he absolutely nailed it for the first minute of this movie. The music is absolutely gorgeous. Deeply moving and extremely powerful. The choir and the orchestra is fantastic. Alexandre even used it in the DH Pt. 2.

But after that, Hooper falls short for me.

I think Nicholas Hooper was one of the best the series had. His combination of choral and instrumental brings out the emotional feelings during the film. Like in Dumbledore's Farewell, you can definitely tell that it is meant to be sad, and Flight of the Order of the Phoenix is the sign of a journey. Fireworks is easily shows the thrilling events of wrecking Umbridge's plans. Also, I love his Journey to the Cave, as it definitely shows where Harry and Dumbledore are and what is soon to come.

@Maryenn16 IMHO, you love this song for the part from 0:25-1:15, right??

Cos it is overall a very sad track, and there's nothing to feel cheerful for, in this track. The part from 0:25-1:15 is completely Harry's pain on losing Sirius in the last film, and also foreshadows Dumbledore's fate in this film...as if Dumbledore is telling Harry,'Extremely sorry about Sirius, but Harry, I'll be here for you, no matter what...' It represents the loss of the two father figures in Harry's life...
