This cue is a suite of themes and pieces from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2020).

This cue is short and purely serves to be a “falling action” after the climax of the film. The violins begin towards the top of their range, lamenting Sirius with a dies irae. They bring in the violas and...

A bed of quiet strings enters under the dialogue. Harry sits in Dumbledore’s office, still grasping the aftermath of what happened at the Ministry of Magic. The "James motif" echoing the Sorcerer's...

There is very little time between the end of the previous cue and the start of this one. The music quickly re-introduces the tension to the scene, then takes a turn when Dumbledore appears in the fireplace. Fawkes the Phoenix sounds out in the low brass...

Harry and the group get back on their feet slowly; upon seeing the Veil, Harry hears voices coming from it. The music reflects this by utilizing distorted humming noises from the choir. The voices are delicately orchestrated around, utilizing strings and single notes played by the harp and...

An extended reprisal of “The Rescue of Sirius” from Prisoner of Azkaban opens this cue. This recollection was chosen due to the many parallels between the two scenes, down to the use of flying magical creatures to get to where they’re going. A dramatic key change, combined with...

Ominous cellos and basses move around under Snape’s exit. He expresses that he has no idea what Harry is talking about, and once he’s left, Umbridge’s theme takes over. Clarinets play a cat-like variation and are answered by strings. She slowly approaches Harry, before Hermione quickly...

Violins and celesta scurry upwards as a small firework appears in front of Umbridge, then flies into the Great Hall. Her suspicion grows as horns and cellos maneuver around, waiting for something to happen. The music comes to a halt. Fred and George Weasley fly around the...

Trills stumble around with the giant Grawp as he gains his balance. The entire situation is uncertain, then the music halts as he achieves his goal: catching a bird. Brass swells in different registers when he advances on the trio. Instead of utilizing a faster...

Fawkes the Phoenix is harmonically distorted at the beginning of this cue. Though the situation is uneasy, the discomfort seems to be coming from how calm Dumbledore is. Umbridge and Fudge...

Low strings wander around, as they do when a cue of ominous nature is beginning. Once the new educational decree comes into view; Umbridge’s theme begins. This is her theme at its most...

Strings and choir open the cue with ominous chords, projecting the feeling of “what is to come.” A harp glissando aids the transition from Hagrid’s hut to a cell in Azkaban. Muted horns play the...

Sad and vulnerable strings play as Neville opens up to Harry about Bellatrix and her relationship to his parents. Her theme fades in and out while Neville connects the dots for Harry. Neville’s...

Material that played over Kreacher in Cue No. 5 opens this scene. The grimy little house-elf begins muttering at Harry just as before. Brass chords play as Sirius tells Kreacher to leave, and one last statement plays in the harp as he slowly walks away. Gentle strings comfort Harry as Sirius...

In this short cue, Hermione’s theme gets a warm statement as she tells off Ron for having the “emotional range of a teaspoon.” This prompts the three of them to start laughing at the entire...

Continuing without pause from the end of Cue No. 22, another world of eerie sound builds up underneath Harry’s newest and most potent vision. Chromatic celesta and piano outline the...

Low strings wander as Snape drags a still-confused Harry to the dungeons. Once in Snape’s office, tremolo strings play a variation on the Chamber of Secrets theme. This is followed by the...

Harry’s Wondrous World dominates the beginning of this cue. Dumbledore’s Army is dispersing for Christmas break; the theme plays warmly over different happenings in the room as people say goodbye to each other. Once Harry is alone with Cho, he begins walking over to her, accompanied...
