Nicholas Hooper's lively score for the sixth HARRY POTTER entry echoes some of the atmospheric work he did for the previous film, with some creative detours. The score takes a playful turn on the snaky, pseudo-Indian "Slug Party," and the swingin', brassy rhumba beat of "Wizard Wheezes," while the heraldic "The Story Begins," and the subtly powerful "Into the Rushes" hearken to more traditional symphonic soundtracks of masters like John Williams.
