Cue No. 3

A quick whimsical flourish accompanies the Ministry owl as it flies into the Dursleys’ house and physically upsets Petunia’s crown moulding. Another musical gesture follows the letter as it lifts into the air and begins speaking to Harry. A variation on Double Trouble plays, mirroring the uncertainty in the previous cue. At the end of the letter when Vernon realizes that he has won the battle against his nephew, we hear his Dursley family theme for the first time since Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). The very end of the cue mirrors the “whoop” of the opening as Mrs. Figg observes the odd series of events from across the street.
