Harry is distracted from his paper, however, by an instant flirtation with the young waitress, a saucy cutie who informs him, although he asked only with his eyes, that she gets off work at 11. And “The Weasley Stomp,” a lively orchestral dance with gorgeous timbres, is a nice send-off.In one of the opening scenes, we find Harry ( Daniel Radcliffe) late at night in a cafe of the London Underground, reading a copy of the Daily Prophet which poses the question: Is Harry Potter the Chosen One? By the film's end, he acknowledges that he has, indeed, been chosen to face down Voldemort (whose name should properly rhyme with the French word for "death," mort also, since their word vol can have meanings such as "thief" and "steal," Lord Voldemort is most ominously named). “Wizard Wheezes,” a big band-style workout, did not appear in the movie, but nicely fits into the album’s flow. By contrast, “When Ginny Kissed Harry,” which accompanies a key moment in the narrative, is romantic in flavor. One striking cue is “Inferi In the Firestorm,” where Hooper turns to the dissonance of the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg, et al, for inspiration. (In the film, “In Noctem” is heard over the closing credits.) The soundtrack is both varied and thoroughly cohesive. The album’s second cut, “In Noctem,” a choral piece featuring Latin lyrics, includes musical material that reappears throughout the score. The pair worked together on the Brit TV series, The Girl In the Café and the feature film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and the score that Hooper composed for the Yates-directed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is excellent. British composer Nicholas Hooper and British director David Yates have a track record of successful collaboration.
