Music reviews of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Music Review: NOT another portal into Harry Potter's world....
Rating: 3 Stars
If you're looking for good music, buy this CD. However, if you are looking for another portal into the world of Harry Potter...save your money.
I honestly could care less who writes the score as long as their score measures up to the film. Unfortunately, both film and score is lacking...
What I loved the most about watching the Harry Potter movies is that it was like I was reading the books...I was there in that magical world. Same with listening to the scores, I felt like I was in a world full of magic, good and evil, mystery...I didn't sense it in either the film or score.
As weird as this may sound, Hooper's score for the Order of the Phoenix is actually some pretty good music...it's just not worthy of having the title as a Harry Potter score.
Description of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Featuring a colorful and inspiring score by Nicholas Hooper, the soundtrack to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix takes the movie-goer to the next level of magical enchantment right along with Harry and his friends.For its fifth cinematic installment, the Harry Potter franchise gets a new composer as England's Nicholas Hooper (a usual collaborator of new director David Yates) succeeds Patrick Doyle and John Williams. The screeching electric guitar that suddenly irrupts on the very first track, "Fireworks," lets the listener know that all is not quiet on the Hogwarts front. The kiddies are growing up, evil is spreading: which is worse?! But actually this modern sonic touch is deceiving: Hooper works within an old-school format and mostly sticks to tried-and-true effects. His score is best when it goes for tension and unease, particularly in its use of low, rumbling tones: A choir starts by humming in a menacing manner in "Dementors in the Underpass"; the sound at the beginning of "The Death of Sirius" feels as if it's being belched out from some deep, dark, scary place, creating an effective atmosphere of dread. Elsewhere, the beginning of "Possession" feels as if it belongs in a J-horror movie, and then the track becomes deceptively calm before the storm hits again. Keen listeners will recognize Williams' "Hedwig's Theme" in "Another Story," but mostly Hooper is his own man. Just like the overall series, which gets darker and darker as it goes along, this CD makes for a rather brooding listening experience--the pizzicato violins on "Umbridge Spoils a Beautiful Morning" provide one of the few jaunty touches. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
