For as much as Desplat’s throttling, choral and brass action delivers on the spectacle, it’s the near-religious poignance which graces the score which gives ultimate meaning to the numerous sacrifices within, especially with a ghostly female voice that tells us many of our most beloved friends will only be making out of this finale in spirit only.Īny soundtrack for the finale to a genre epic that’s worth its salt is wise to acknowledge its musical ancestors. For at the center of the raging battles between good and absolute evil, Desplat’s melodic compassion is always there for the bond of this beloved trio, making the fearsomeness of the toweringly dark, cliffhanging action they’re thrown into all the more emotionally affecting, especially as Deplat’s mournfully percussive music becomes the only thing heard during some of the finale’s cataclysmic battle.
Having impressed with the epic franchise fantasy scores for THE GOLDEN COMPASS and THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, Desplat thankfully raises the scoring stakes with his second POTTER big time, his brew of sorcerous menace and desperate, bold heroism immediately returning listeners to the musical enchantment that filled the best entries in the series.Įver since his American breakout score for BIRTH, Desplat has brought a unique Gallic lyricism to even his most multiplex of scores, a poignance that makes this POTTER especially remarkable for giving heart to its truly harrowing danger. But if things seemed more than a bit wispy and time-biding after the last two POTTERS, nothing will prepare you for this literally smashing wrap up, especially with a spectacular musical finish that brings John Williams’ spirit back to the Halls of Hogwarts like never before. Alexandre Desplat is back in the HARRY house to weave his musical spell with HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2.
