1.0 out of 5 stars Can anyone on the planet explain this CD???, December 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone (Audio CD)

Perhaps I am insane, but can anyone explain how any of these songs/titles have ANYTHING at all to do with either the book or the movie??
I have gone to several sites & the same songs are listed with this album. I just don't get it. "who let the dogs out!!???"
Can anyone explain how these songs have anything to do with John Williams or fantasy themes? One review on another site talked about John Williams being a big composer of fantasy themes, but it just doesn't fit. The sounds clips are the original versions of the songs. They aren't adapted to sound like fantasy type music. Has anyone found any sort of place that explains all of these songs or why they are on a CD with the words "Harry Potter?"
...and what's with the Philosopher's stone instead of Sorcerer's Stone? Did I miss something or does the book have a different title in other parts of the world?
Very perplexing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Strange Grouping of songs, April 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone (Audio CD)

There are two things to point out first about this CD.
First it is an IMPORT . This means it came from outside the US. Second, the first Harry Potter book's original British title was "Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone" (as was the Internation English movie title). The title was changed when J.K. Rowling sold the rights to Scolastic for US release.
The next important thing to note, the songs that are included. If you search the web, you will find that most of the movies listed were released the same year (the rest seem to be 2000). This is the connection.
I find this to be an interesting way to package some good music from multiple venues in one place. However, I definately see where it would be confusing for someone who is ONLY looking for music from the first Harry Potter movie. If this is what you are looking for, you may be disappointed.
