This is a dreadful ripoff of the Harry Potter Philosopher's Stone soundtrack == I got it as a package with the sound track of Chamber of Secrets. It didn't occur to me that it would be a fifth rate non musical attempt to fly on someone else's broomstick DON'T GET IT

1.0 out of 5 stars GET THE ORIGINAL HARRY POTTER SCORE!!!! ~NOT THIS!!!!~, July 1, 2003

I have had "The Sorcerer's Stone" and "The Chamber of Secrets" original soundtracks for a very long while. And when I was at the store one day I spotted this soundtrack... it looked different from the others I had, and I (being a huge Harry Potter fan) decided to get these CD's. Okay... BIG MISTAKE! I'm sorry, but this revision of the wonderful Harry Potter music from the original soundtracks is just horrible! It sounds like the whole CD was played on a keyboard and not with real orchestral instruments. And the songs seem to repeat themselves over and over again just to make the whole CD last longer.

Peice of advice: Get the original soundtracks and not this!

I am a fond lover of soundtracks and even more so of John Williams. I think the soundtrack from Harry Potter was pretty good, but lacked a certain quality that you see in Wiliams work such as Jurassic Park. It was exciting and original in it's own right, but it still needed a certain quality that never came through for the most part. It's definitly worth a try to listen to it, don't get me wrong I think it's a wonderful soundtrack, but it lacks a certain something that I can't name. That was why I gave it three stars instead of a higher rating
