THE ABSENCE OF LEAVING HOGWARTS IS REALLY UPSETTING TO ME

Onset23 · June 2011

Sorry but i need to start a discussion about this!

Really really sad that theres not even a hint of 'Leaving hogwarts' in the soundtrack!

It would have been the absolutle perfect way to round up the series!

A book end if you will!

A new beginning is lovely but its too gentle, I think the final track of the series needs to be grand, emotionalnd nostalgic and this just isnt doing it for me!

Lots of the new tracks are beautiful! But desplat IMO needed to pay homage to the first films!

Im hoping its just the viduct scene and not the epilogue!!

MicroFX · June 2011

Whats weird about Desplats score is that it references a lot of Nicholas Hoopers stuff. I too felt that he needed to do what was right for the series and not for the film, just for that last track anyway. A few jingles for the last ever thing we hear?

Lord Stafford · June 2011

Leaving Hogwarts has got to be the last thing we hear, it'll be seen as a disappointment to many if this is the last thing we ever hear from a Potter soundtrack, and incredible underwhelming to me, as Desplat is creative to the point of almost being the definition of it... this isn't creative enough.

Ash · June 2011

I am so pleased it isn't in, it wouldn't have worked for me at all in this film.

Lord Stafford · June 2011

Then, why would using something from OOTP work any better?!

Lord Stafford.

Ash · June 2011

He hasn't.

Lord Stafford · June 2011

Not for 'A New Beginning' i mean for something else, in which he is apparently using 'The Kiss' from OOTP.

We still don't know if they're gonna play it in the movie, maybe they will.
DH1 had lots of sound cues not present in the soundtrack CD

[Deleted User] · June 2011

member the dh1 score didnt have a hedwigs theme track b4 oblviate but it still opened the film as always

Onset23 · June 2011

Thats why im hoping 'A New Beginning' is for the viaduct scene!

[Deleted User] · June 2011

im already pissed at wb for not letting harry be nude at kings cross

Pensieve Seeker · June 2011

Why would Leaving Hogwarts play during the epilogue? They're at Kings Cross and they're leaving for Hogwarts, not leaving Hogwarts.

Onset23 · June 2011

Jeebus, it not the fact its called 'leaving hogwarts' its the melody and theme of the piece that suites the scene so well!

Not many casual movie goers know the piece is called leaving hogwarts. They do however know its a theme that is tied to Harrys earlier years!

It has to be there. Theres no other way ill be emotionally satisfied!

Ive got a horrible feeling im going to be disappointed!

blackvenom · June 2011

I didn't know that the quality of the film depends on the inclusion of 'Leaving Hogwarts'.

GinaC · June 2011

I love the soundtrack samples, but count me in as one who is very underwhelmed with the "A New Beginning" sample. I wanted something melodious and soaring, not something similar to "The Kiss" (and I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard that!). I'm hoping a bit of Leaving Hogwarts (or something similar) will still be there and didn't make it onto the soundtrack since we already have it on the other soundtracks. It would just be so disappointing to hear this as the last bit of music, and it's hard to believe it will turn out like that. I mean, apparently they played it at the test screening with the final scene, so they must have wanted something similar to "Leaving Hogwarts." But keep in mind we still have 30 - 40 seconds that we haven't heard yet....

blackvenom · June 2011

Well, 'Leaving Hogwarts' doesn't fit to the mood of the Epilogue scene. It's supposed to be gentle, soft, quiet and nostalgic. 'Leaving Hogwarts' is a bit bombastic and loud. Soaring and beautiful, yes, but it doesn't fit. BUT, I expect the final shot of the Epilogue (and the final 40 seconds of the track) to have this soaring feel because 'Leaving Hogwarts' DOES fit to the scene where the train starts leaving King's Cross. So, for the most part of the Epilogue scene we need something nice and soft but the very last 30-40 seconds need something grand. I think this is what's left from the sample.

GinaC · June 2011

Yeah, we're thinking alike, blackvenom. I don't mind the quiet, reflective stuff during dialogue. (MUST be that way, actually!) But I want Harry waving goodbye to something that feels an awful lot like the end of "Leaving Hogwarts." I have to believe the final notes we hear would be something as memorable as all the other movie endings have been; the endings have always been some of my very favorite tracks, and I can't believe it will be different this time!

blackvenom · June 2011

It may be Hedwig's theme but a different variation of it. I'm sure that the very last shot (Trio and Ginny waving goodbye to their children and the train setting off) will have a very grand score, so yeah! These final 40 seconds may be this. :)

Onset23 · June 2011

We dont want hedwigs theme blackvenom!

Braveheart · June 2011

Meh I don't really care about Leaving Hogwarts. I prefer that the series plays out to a gentle, soothing theme. A New Beginning certainly has that "All was well" feeling nailed in a way Leaving Hogwarts wouldn't.

Onset23 · June 2011

IN YOUR OPINION BRAVEHEART

Braveheart · June 2011

Yeah, just as the movie is entirely ruined because it doesn't end with Leaving Hogwarts, or something, is entirely your opinion so saying "we" want Leaving Hogwarts as if the whole fandom is behind you is unjustified.

blackvenom · June 2011

Agreed.

Darth Ledger · June 2011

I'm not that crazy over JW music... Hooper in HBP and Desplat in DH1 were my favorite scores. I hope the whole movie is a new compilation from Desplat.

Onset23 · June 2011

Hooper for me is the best composer in the series!

JW iseven my favourite!

But Leaving hogwarts is my childhood! Harry Potter is my childhood. I wanted one final homage to both before we leave the world forever! Thats not too much to ask surely!

Hes had 2 films to showcase his work, 1 tiny little 2 minute scene wouldnt have harmed!

Martin1 · June 2011

I agree with blackvenom, the only place leaving hogwarts has in the epilouge is THE FINAL SHOT when the train rides away to Hogwarts. The rest is filled with the last conversation of the series and we need something gentle and soft to go with it, then for that last scene desplat can blast hedwigs theme like in leaving hogwarts for one last time. We have to wait for the full soundtrack to judge.

Onset23 · June 2011

Thats when i want it for irlkg, that exact moment as the train pulls away and we See the trio for the last time

Martin1 · June 2011

OMGOMGOMGOMG SOMEONE MAKE A THREAD THE FULL SOUNDTRACK IS RELEASEDD!!!!!!

He doesn't have all of them yet I think, but he has a lot. It's the same person who uploaded the DH1 soundtrack.

Martin1 · June 2011

....fuck. There's already a thread. Well, that goes to show how observant i am...

Richard · June 2011

um, leaving hogwarts would definitely fit. I would love it,but im ok with A new beginning.

aaron · June 2011

You can't just add in a piece which has no resonance to the score for the other 95% of the film. And I'm sure Lou can just create a fanmade piece and add in the track after the film comes out, can't he?

Ash · June 2011

Yes, this.

Festax0333 · June 2011

i love new beginning, it hits me as very emotional, soft, and nostalgic

if it used for the epilouge, il be happy.

blackvenom · June 2011

I'm listening to 'A New Beginning' right now. It's such such such a beautiful little track. It's nothing soaring and grand like 'Leaving Hogwarts' or 'Mischief Managed' or 'Lily's Theme' and all the stunningly breathtaking emotional tracks on DH2 and it doesn't have to be. The way it's building up, the soft melodic sounds, the very Benjamin Button-esque influence. It's short, sweet and simple. It fits the Epilogue scene perfectly. :)

acciohp · June 2011

I could definitely see A New Beginning as The Viaduct scene at the end

Festax0333 · June 2011

I could definitely see A New Beginning as The Viaduct scene at the end

i agree...idk what itl be used for

YodatheHobbit · June 2011

I believe one shouldn't want a piece of music to make you feel a certain way, but they should let the music make you feel, with the expectation of how want to feel thrown out the window.

We could do with a better sending off than this, though.

Henrick · June 2011

Guys.How do you know that Leaving Hogwarts fits the epilogue sequence if you haven't seen the movie and have no idea how the scene is going to be? Damn. Chill.

We are chilled, well, at least i am. I have a beer in hand to make sure of it.

GinaC · June 2011

They played it at the test screening with the epilogue, and apparently the whole audience was bawling. I'm not saying nothing else could work, but I just remain unimpressed with what I've heard in the sample. It's not bad, but I know Desplat can do better than that.

Edit: I don't know that it would be wise to use the exact music that ended the first two movies, but I was hoping for a "Desplat" version of it, ya know?

Then, judging by that test screening reaction, they could do know better than that, which is all good for a change.

GinaC · June 2011

Oops! Not sure if we're miscommunicating, Stafford, but I meant that they played Leaving Hogwarts with the Epilogue in the test screening and it worked beautifully. Is that what you meant, that they could do no better than "Leaving Hogwarts"? Wasn't sure since you said it's good (when apparently they've changed it). I was just sure they would use something close to it. But we'll see.

Lord Stafford · June 2011

Yes, that is what i was talking about. What i meant by the 'all good' bit is that usually that means it isn't very good when they haven't changed something to benefit from the test screenings version.

Lord Stafford.

GinaC · June 2011

OK, I think I got it! ;P

This is what I'm hoping for!

Hinkypunk · June 2011

Well, if that COS guy is legitimate , why is it no one has asked him if " Leaving Hogwarts ", or any variation thereof is heard at the end of the Epilogue ? Surely he would remember that if it has such an emotional impact on audiences ?

First thing I asked him was about the music. He hadn't listened to the soundtracks at that time, so he couldn't say.

But....would he not have recognized the melody of " Leaving Hogwarts " , even if he was not familiar with the title ? He wouldn't have needed to hear the new soundtrack piece just to recognize that would he ?
Perhaps if the question was framed differently ?

GinaC · June 2011

Well, I don't want to exaggerate, but I do remember Gabby (wasn't that her name?) was asked if they played "Leaving Hogwarts" at the end of the test screening, and she said yes and that she burst into tears when she heard it. I believe it was also her who said so many people had cried in the movie (didn't she say Yates or Heyman turned around and was looking at everybody funny because they had been crying so much?). I don't know that it was specifically because of Leaving Hogwarts, but the point was that it worked very well with that scene. I just hoped they would use something with the same feeling, and "A New Beginning" is so quiet that it just doesn't have it.

It is strange that the COS guy didn't know about the music at the end!

Mamoun · June 2011

The length of A new beginning track is just too short to be the epilogue's music.

Howdy, Stranger!
