Since I'm a big Harry Potter fan, I bought all soundtracks. Of the first four I was more than thrilled and have it run for hours. Nicholas Hooper has really good melodies composed, but lacks for me personally just that certain something that have John Williams and Patrick Doyle worked into it. One can not be properly covered to not sink into the world of Harry Potter. The melodies describe for me the scenes are not very good, you can only imagine, if you have seen the movie.
