Using "The Meeting With Mao" from Nixon (1995)

Using "Gryffindor Wins the House Cup" from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) - with a forced ending. Sorry. :)

Epilogue

Using "Farewell Neverland" from Hook (1991). This inspired a continuous transition between the final cue and the epilogue.

2 versions of King's Cross

We had always wanted to use Williams' music from A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (2001) over this scene.

Temp demo 4.mp4

"Journey Through the Ice: Part I" - for a mysterious and ethereal take.

Temp demo 5.mp4

"What Is Your Wish" - more of the emotional inspiration. A warm, conclusive option.

Part 1

Opening tatooine_precogs_memory.mp4

Opening (Prologue / The Dark Lord Ascending)

"Rescuing Mother" and "Shmi's Funeral" - Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) / "Presenting the Pre-Cogs" - Minority Report (2002) / "The First Memory" - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2021)

2 versions of Harry and Hermione

Although not part of the score proper, we had alternative ideas for this scenes and wanted to try them out for a couple different effects.

Harry and Hermione Coldplay.mp4

"Death And All Of His Friends" by Coldplay (2008) - We picked this as something that teenagers would listen to in 2008, therefore it seemed like an appropriate choice. We also liked how it brought out the hopeful tone of the scene.

Harry and Hermione Both Sides 2.mp4

"Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell (2000 version) - going a little more melancholy, this one was just a personal favorite that we wanted to see over the scene. It's similar in tone to the original, but gets more at Hermione's emotional state.

Half-Blood Prince

These are temp ideas from Half-Blood Prince, either presenting alternate creative ideas or showing the inspiration behind our final versions.
