Product Description
Amazon.com
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

This soundtrack will rock our ears,because HP rules!!!,
By Lilianetty "Hinata Potter" (Bayamon,Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Audio CD)
This movie has got to many awesome soundtracks,and it's a privilege to have another one,with a different man,doing the score.Basicaly,we all wait to hear again the Harry Potter theme(original),and make us remember does days when we hear for the first time this magical masterpiece.Fans (as me,from Puerto Rico),will have the oportunity of knowing how cool it is to get in our own hands,this special CD of another movie made by Warner Bros,and writen by JK Rowling,named,Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The Chronological Order (of the Phoenix),
By N. Hofmaier "curtschilling38" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Audio CD)
Putting the songs in order is quite a simple process, and it immediately changed my opinion of the album (for the better). I highly recommend doing so. Soundtracks SHOULD be the emotional direction of the movie, and ignoring their chronological order limits the listener's connection to the actual movie. And as for the soundtrack itself, NO ONE is John Williams, and Pat Doyle and Nick Hooper don't try to be. I love JW, but I can also appreciate a unique spin now and then. Let us just hope that he scores the final film (as it would be fitting to see how he would finish the score he so famously started).HOPE THIS HELPS... 1. Another Story 2. Dementors in the Underpass 3. Flight of the Order of the Phoenix 4. The Ministry of Magic 5. A Journey to Hogwarts 6. Professor Umbridge 7. The Room of Requirements 8. Dumbledore's Army 9. The Kiss 10. Umbridge Spoils a Beautiful Morning 11. The Sacking of Trelawney 12. Fireworks 13. The Sirius Deception 14. The Hall of Prophecies 15. Darkness Takes Over 16. Death of Sirius 17. Possession 18. Loved Ones and Leaving 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

I really like it!,
By Pegaboo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Audio CD)
there are several negative reviews and most of them mention that while liking The Goble of Fire CD they do not care for this one. I happen to think this CD is terrific. The Goblet of Fire CD is not as good as this in my opinion. I think the music is fresh, exciting and takes a different course than the other films. I happen to like the music from all of the films, but as for Goblet of Fire music I prefer the arrangements used in the Music From the Harry Potter Films CD rather than the actual Goblet of Fire soundtrack. As an addition to continue to collect Harry Potter music the Order of the Phoenix CD is great. I nearly didn't buy it because of some of the reviews but I am so glad that I did.

Excellent Mood Contrasts,
By John D. Cofield - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Audio CD)
I was highly impressed by the contrast between the light hearted and the dark in this soundtrack. That is part of the special magic of the Harry Potter books, of course, but I've never felt the movies, except for the first one, really captured it until now. The soundtrack for The Order of the Phoenix is relatively short, around 45 minutes in total. The tracks are arranged more by mood than by their placement within the movie, which can be a bit confusing at first, but I enjoyed the sprightly beginning of "Fireworks." I also found "Dumbledore's Army" and "The Room of Requirement" especially appealing. The tracks relating to Dolores Umbridge are interesting, too, in that they are able to convey her cloying surface charm and inner nastiness highly effectively. This is also true of "The Ministry of Magic".The darker tracks, especially "The Death of Sirius" and "Possession," were well able to depict the tension and horror of those moments. I also enjoyed the forboding qualities of "Another Story" and "Journey to Hogwarts." This CD well encapsulates the best qualities of the Harry Potter books and movies, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. |
