3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Soundtracks From the Movies, September 16, 2005
By 
tx owl (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harry Potter Collection (Audio CD)
I bought this CD collection thinking it was the soundtrack music from the HP movies, but that is not the case. It is music from the Hollywood orchestra, and not directed by John Williams.

The music is not the same, but it has interesting variations (for instance, "Hagrid the Professor").

There are no Choral scores included (I really missed "Double Trouble"). This collection is nice if you don't buy it expecting it to sound EXACTLY like the musical scores in the movies.

I still listen to it even though I'm also buying the REAL soundtracks. I consider them much better.

John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra have collaborated on movie scores together for about 20 years now, and I haven't found a better combination of talent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother., September 20, 2004
This review is from: Harry Potter Collection (Audio CD)
Yeah... It may look like a great buy for the soundtracks to all three films, but things aren't always what they appear to be.

These are not the orchestral recordings that you heard in the films. Rather, they are some guy (okay, I assume... could be a girl) with a sequencer "performing" music from the films. Granted, the samples aren't horrible - though the brass sounds could use some work - but this is not what I thought I was paying for. From what little I was able to force myself to sit through, it wasn't horribly put together. It's just not actually the soundtrack. Very much of a rip-off. Unless you like spending $30 for a set of three Harry Potter labeled coasters. Then by all means, go ahead and get this. Otherwise, put out the extra money to collect the recordings of actual musicians performing this stuff. I think you'll find it to be money well spent.
