Cue No. 6

Harry sees Cho Chang as he’s getting food from the trolly. The harp quietly plays a version of his theme, but with new innocent and developing harmonies that represent his emerging feelings for her, resembling a Harry in Love theme. As he sits down in the compartment with the others, he thinks about Cho momentarily before being interrupted by his scar hurting. When he reaches to his forehead, a hidden Three-note motif plays and then is quickly lost in the texture. Chords move around as Hermione convinces Harry that he should write to Sirius. Once talked into it, Harry addresses a letter to his godfather accompanied by A Window to the Past. Hedwig leaves the compartment window and soars away as her theme takes over.

The grandest version of Hedwig’s theme so far in this movie plays over the reveal of Hogwarts. The students are back at school, and they have visitors this year. Double Trouble is reprised here as it now shares the top spot with Hedwig’s theme as a musical representation of the magical world. After the Durmstrang ship appears out of the lake, the Wizard Games theme plays again, suggesting that perhaps the Quidditch World Cup was not the only event to take place in this year at Hogwarts.
