Overview

"The success of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series has been a heartwarming phenomenon to all those who love books.

The worldwide reception that these works have received added greatly to the sense of privilege that I felt when I was given the honor of composing the music for the film version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

The story's imaginative array of wizards flying on broomsticks and mail delivering owls, all occupying a wondrous world of magic, offered a unique canvas for music, and the prospect of sharing it with some part of the great army of readers who love these books is a great joy to me."
