Cue No. 31

"Hogwarts Fanfare"

Cue 31 - Hogwarts Fanfare.mp4

This source music is being played by the Hogwarts band at the Third Task. The Quidditch fanfare from the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Children’s Suite (2001) fit perfectly, and for the most part matched up with the film (and Flitwick’s conducting). The only problem was that girl playing the infernal drum. She’s off the beat most of the time, in her own world of self-congratulatory drumming. It doesn’t sync in the original film either! This track is 100% John Williams save for the drum beats matching her terrible technique. We figured having this last, satirical laugh before the darkness at the end of the movie would be fun to throw in.
