I ordered this CD thinking it was the same one I had borrowed from my local library: highlights from Harry Potter played by the Hollywood Orchestra. Sadly, it was not. The pieces, played by a synthesized orchestra, have a new-age sound to them. Everyone in my family hates it.

This is like the Cliff NOtes of the original soundtrack. It does not sound synthesized even if it is. THe music is fine to listen to. I'm hosting a Harry Potter Themed party and this will do perfectly.

The Hollywood Star Orchestra played the music from the film in this soundtrack, and I think it makes great background music when you are reading (the newest Harry Potter book!) or relaxing around the house...the music is soothing and nice!

Okay, I should've paid closer attention while placing my order...this is just to try to keep someone else from repeating my mistake. I wanted an audio version of the book, and what I got was music from the movie. NOT what I wanted, although I can hardly complain to the seller at the price I paid ($2 plus shipping for a factory sealed cd). I haven't opened the cd to listen to it, so the music may be perfectly wonderful. If I could've given this a neutral rather than negative connotation with regard to quality or how much I liked it, I would've. Still, I won't have my book in time for my trip. :-(
