As a fan of J. K. Rowling's massively popular Harry Potter books and the composer of some of the best fantasy/sci-fi film scores, John Williams was a natural choice to write the music for this film. His score captures the childhood mischief, magic, and adventure of the film and the books, mixing winding, soaring melodies with instrumentation that spans the delicately spooky to the darkly majestic. Heather Phares, All Music Guide. Songs include Harry's Wondrous World; Arrival of Baby Harry; Visit to the Zoo/Letters from Hogwarts; Prologue; Diagon Alley/The Gringotts Vault.
