Even though I found the score for "Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone" a bit disappointing, John Williams manages to outdo himself with the second Harry Potter installmemt. It's funny that William Ross is credited as arranger and conductor, but that doesn't matter: this one has made an improvement over the score of the first movie. The prologue presents an interesting arrangement of two important Harry Potter themes (Hedwig's theme and the wondrous world music). There are two themes that are a real knockout: one is 'Fawkes The Phoenix', which is extremely magical and wonderful; and the other one is 'The Chamber Of Secrets', with its malevolent flair and mysterious mood. The theme for Gilderoy Lockhart is very entertaining, and the one for Dobby is kind of childlike at best, very nice. The action music is also a nice treat, as shown in tracks like 'The Flying Car', 'The Spiders', 'Cornish Pixies', and 'Dueling The Basilisk'. In general, this is a fine album, with a great performance... See less
