"The Essential ... Harry Potter ... Silva Screen (2008)"
Silva Screen Records LTD presents "HARRY POTTER: THE ESSENTIAL" (2008) -- Performed by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by James Fitzpatrick and Nic Raine --- The Mid Herts Youth Choir conducted by Peter Twitchin --- Presenting another installment in Silva Screen's hugely successful Essential series --- Featuring music from all five Harry Potter Films - Philosopher's Stone, Chamber Of Secrets, Prisoner Of Azkaban, Goblet Of Fire and Order of the Phoenix on 2 CDs.

Different composers have been involved in writing the music for the Harry Potter films --- The scores for the first, second and third movies were composed by John Williams (The second feature's score was adapted and conducted by William Ross) --- Patrick Doyle composed the score for the fourth film, while the fifth film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, was scored by Nicholas Hooper.

The first two movies utilise "leitmotif", a technique John Williams has used in earlier film series, where themes are introduced representing particular characters, objects or places --- The third and fourth movies also introduce the audience to new themes specific to the action of those films --- The only theme appearing in all five scores is Williams' "Hedwig's Theme".

The first and third movies were nominated for Academy Awards for best dramatic score.

Composed by John Williams, Patrick Doyle and Nicholas Hooper --- Performed by the magical City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra
