HARRY POTTER - Hidden Messages In The Music

[@isla-gracedavies4318]

The theme that runs through HBP is also used in a song from a deleted scene where the choir would sing 'In Noctem' a half English-half Latin song about never forgetting loved ones. It fits in with a sequence in which the teachers of Hogwarts prepare to protect the school after receiving information that death eaters have infiltrated the school. Shivers every time.

[@GoodBloodGames]

Yes! I'm so glad you brought that up. I was trying to find a way to add In Noctem into the video but was too left-field as it's a deleted scene. The lyrics with the melody are just so powerful. Carry my soul into the night May the stars guide my way. I glory in the sight As darkness takes the day. far out

I'm glad you brought this up too! Never knew about that deleted scene! :)

It is funny that "Hedwig's Theme" is associated with hope, because when Harry is locked up in Privet Drive, Hedwig is his only link to the wizarding world, the world that he belongs. Hedwig literally is the messenger of hope.

I thought it was less about hope and more about the courage and bravery side. The boastful Lockhart always portrays himself as a brave hero, which is so unconvincing that it becomes funny, hence his theme is a garbled and almost comedic parody of Hedwig's theme.

I feel like the music is the most overlooked part of a movie. Most people praise the actors and directors for the movie being a good movie, but without the music it would just be a story without emotions or excitement... That's very sad.

[@Fyreflier]

I always say that when my family get on at me for wanting to listen to film scores. "Uh there's no words", "I don't want to listen to HTTYD", "How do you even sing along to it?" But music's so important; you can have the best actors, the best director, the best set design, the best props, the best costumes, the best CGI, everything can be perfect - but if the music's wrong or bad, the audience can't get emotionally invested. It's easier to get an emotion across or forge connections in the mind with auditory cues than visual. And that's why I've been listening to the Fantastic Beasts score on loop for nearly a week - James Newton Howard got it spot on.

[@notkurtis140]

I wouldn't say it's that overlooked though, John Williams is the second most nominated person in the world for rewards (like the Grammys). just being behind Walt Disney

[@msk-qp6fn]

In the more recent years I've been thinking that the iconic Harry Potter theme is so very appropriately named "Hedwig's Theme." I used to think wth because Hedwig's not the main character as a kid but later on as I grew up and when Hedwig became the first living being to willingly sacrifice her life for Harry for Harry to see and remember, I realized what Hedwig symbolized. Hedwig was no mere pet; she was a companion and a symbol of connection, affection, innocence, and most importantly hope....and when she died....it was an indication of the lost of all of which she was a symbol for.

​@@lara.3183 I hate the way Rowling justifies crap like this. If anything symbolized the death of Harry's childhood, it was the years he spent abused by the Dursley's that robbed him completely of a childhood, or when Cedric was murdered right in front of him. Hedwig should never have died, and I'll never forgive Rowling for so ruthlessly and needlessly throwing her away. Same goes for Tonks and Lupin. Lupin was such a tortured soul, and had only just found the love and acceptance of a family.

[@single_use_planet_]

@@stephaniemitchell8509 I hate Rowling as much as the next guy but I have to defend her here, Hedwigs Death is needless and ruthless I agree, but so is the death of any loved one, death is tragic, you can't keep everyone in your story alive and you also can't just kill the unimportant people. imagine the fight against the dark lord would have left every big character alive, it would make no sense. Harry should have stayed dead but I understand how hard it is to kill off your own character.

Finally someone who understands me. I often listen to the soundtrack and can relate to every memory and feeling, hear the foreshadowing. This was strongly encouraged when I listened the life performance of the first movie in the Netherlands.

Music is such a big part in Harry Potter and everytime someone hears the first 5 notes of the theme, they know exactly from what movie it comes from. Brilliant.

[@isaacs8783]

I never knew composers took all things like this into account. I'll be on the look out it in the next FB film. I noticed in the Main Titles for FB that the latter part of it, the part with a springy feeling of joy very closely resembles Dumbledore's Army from Order of the Phoenix, which sparked the feeling of rebellion and hope. It is played at first as Newt's boat comes into New York so it gives the viewer not only a feeling of nostalgia but a surge of adventure. The rest of the score seemed to me to be a rewritten version of a couple more Potter themes. I heard Dragon Flight along the way which was played at a time when there was a rush of adrenaline from the characters and from you, and also a few bars of Hedwig's Theme which I believe reminded the viewers why they were there, at the same time informing them that someone else was here to replace Harry. In just the first few scenes, the composer has managed to make the audience feel nostalgia, fear, excitement and hope with just the music.

[@RohannvanRensburg]

I didn't either, until I started composing. One has to realize that just about any craft takes an almost absurd amount of dedication and attention to detail. If you think this is impressive look at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2ilnKB8bah9prM Williams and the composers here are undoubtedly brilliant (Williams obviously being the pinnacle in the minds of most), but Shore's LOTR score dwarfs these in scope. The Lord of the Rings film music consists of over 10 hours of *continuous* playtime, with close to 200 motifs (themes). Themes represent particular people, places, concepts, etc, and interact with one another. For example: a) The Fellowship Theme builds as members are added, falters when doubt is sown, and when the Fellowship breaks, is never again played to in its full b) The Isengard theme never develops, all it does is invade and interrupt other themes c) I believe it was the Fellowship theme -- it contains 9 notes (9 members) d) Folk instruments are often pulled in from cultures Tolkien drew from -- i.e. the Hardanger fiddle is used for the Rohan theme, which is a microtonal instrument unique to Norway. Etc.

[@WaddIes]

In order for a movie to be as good as Harry Potter or LOTR, it must have very good music that not only adds to the story, but also tells it.

The Editing is perfect

[@lar9299]

Brilliant! There are so many things I'd like to say. First of all, I got into movie scores (which has been one of the best things I've ever done) because of Harry Potter's scores. I personally think Alexandre Desplat is my favorite composer. I mean in general, he has brilliant scores... but in the world of Harry Potter, all of them are great. Each one brought something special and unique to the series; John Williams, he's the master, he's the one responsable of every Harry Potter fan in the world getting goosebumps as we listen to Hedwig's theme, he's the original one, his score is classic,, magical and unforgettable. Patric Doyle did and excellent job in the Goblet of Fire; he gave the score that little twist needed for darker times. His music is more passionate and intense due to his certain way to play with the violin. "Harry in Winter" and "Cedric's death" are so beautiful and touching, being Cedric's theme even more heartbreaking while Harry in Winter is... not joyful, bur doesn't represent the same sorrow as the other one. Nicholas Hooper.... I think Half-Blood Prince has the best soundtrack of all movies. Sometimes it is touching and peaceful, (Harry and Hermione/When Ginny kissed Harry), but it can also totally break your heart. Dumbledore's farewell must be the saddest piece of music I've ever heard. Total Kudos for using it again with Snape's memories; it made the scene even sadder, more painful, touching, intense, a total soul-crushing. "Malfoy's mission" and Slughorn's Story are worth of a mention. "A drink of despair" is such as depressing and powerful as "Dumbledore's farewell" and it is the same used in "Sectumsempra" To me, that's the track of remorse, regret and sorrow; both Harry and Dumbledore are regretting what they have done, Harry regrets using Sectumsempra against Malfoy when he didn't know what that spell was for, he only knew it was for enemies, but he didn't know he could've killed him. And Dumbledore as he drank the green potion to get the locket; he was reliving his worst memory: Ariana's death. Brilliant as well. And Desplat, his music is exactly what it was needed for DH part 1 and 2, makes you feel nostalgic, makes you feel the danger, the aventure, solitude, isolation and hope (New Beginning). And James Newton Howard!!!!!! Fantastic Beasts was amazing. When Newt releases the Thunderbird! and when he says goodbye to Tina. Those tracks are so amazing! I could keep writing about Harry Potter scores all day long but I better stop. Anyway, amazing video.

lar hjp i agree! half blood prince was my favorite score as well

[@GreenMareep]

Got into Alexandre Desplat after watching The Imitation game and Oh boy, I love my boy, I really appreciate his skills.

[@LosCetos]

im not crying. youre crying.

[@linkthepig4219]

I haven't even cried in the Zelda documentary. And Ocarina of Time is my favourite work of art of all time.

[@miikamiikamii]

Jk rowling: it turned out the music was gay all along!

[@meepmoop4335]

I needed this laugh from this depressing music...

[@sandippaul468]

I think it was a single mom.

[@randomdude2540]

you did miss a small point. At the end of Hedwig theme is a part signifies victory and it is played in all the victorious points of the franchise.

[@lizzywin4915]

Whenever I hear hedwigs theme the movies just seems....more magical. The music throughout the entire series and Harry Potter world make the magic really come to life.

[@Luka1180]

You can also say that Lockhart's Theme symbolizes him being a hack, a man who wants to be world famous, like Harry himself, because Harry is world famous after surviving the death curse, and one might consider Hedwig's Theme as Harry's own theme too. In conclusion: Lockhart is famous, but for the wrong reasons. Harry is famous, not because of what he's done wrong though. So Harry's/Hedwig's theme becomes a twisted version of itself with Lockhart.

[@mischa2643]

Lukas Sprehn another thing to note about Lockhart's theme and the way it comes back to Hedwig's (a twisted, pompous version) it is much like the way "his" exploits are a twisted, self-aggrandising version of another witch or wizard's deeds.

[@queeniemarigold]

I really did not think I would cry during a video that is explaining something, but I did, more than a few times, and I usually never cry so thank you for giving me a deeper understanding of harry potter😊

this is the only good video I found on the subject... it's very sad, but on the other hand this video is a GEM. It's so wonderful... I watch this at least once a week because it makes me really emotional and miss the movies especially the soundtracks... and it blows my mind every time knowing how well it was written thank you for that

[@DrJackaloupe]

Small note: You misuse "anti-hero" when describing Lockhart. Anit-hero refers to a protagonist that is an outcast. This is precisely the opposite of what Lockhart is, a publically-well-regarded antagonist. If anything, Lockhart is closest to being an "Anti-Villain."

[@GoodBloodGames]

I hear what you're saying. I'd argue that Lockhart is actually the perfect example of an Anti-Hero. An anti hero isn't necessarily an outcast, but a 'hero' that doesn't portray the classic hero qualities. Selflessness, kindness etc. An anti-villian would be Magneto. A noble cause but with immoral / evil methods.

[@DrJackaloupe]

Right, but he's still missing out on the hero part.

[@GoodBloodGames]

Yeah. Self-proclaimed hero i suppose.

if it weren't for the fantastic music in harry potter, there would be zero emotional impact on me

[@zoomerr]

4:43 how amazingly astounding!! o_O Even I'm a fan and been enjoying the whole music soundtrack since then never realized that this what the truth is. Change the key two steps from G to A. Man! I love this music!

[@unbeatables2344]

I ended up shivering so many times when I finally understood the music. It makes you realize how everything is somehow interconnected

[@kenlee8970]

Hearing the whole part about Lily's theme and the whole story behind it, it never fails to hit a cord and let the tears out of me.

[@JessCaron]

Hedwig's Theme has the same notes (in part) as the theme from Schindler's List, also by John Williams. The sense I got from both movies was courage and hope.

[@prototypeinheritance515]

not really

[@divergentgurl1414]

Loved this. Also, in the beggining of Fantastic Beasts, it starts with the hedwig theme and then morfs into a more exciting and new sound. Listen to the first track in the spotify soundtrack and you will see!

[@noorajjang]

HP never fails to blow my mind and the information in this video was mostly new to me and it broke my heart oh god all the feels ;;__;;

[@luciecohen9675]

This video was so interesting and it makes me love HP even more. Didn't know that was posible.

[@isomericgamer6644]

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire had tons of musical foreshadowing. There is a constant voldemort leitmotif playing in all the scenes where something goes wrong with harry indicating that these are plans made by the death eaters and voldemort himself. When Harry's name is revealed in the goblet of fire for example. And it plays in the graveyard when harry sees the name "tom riddle" on the tombstone. Patrick Doyle was a genius.

[@FroodTooth]

omg this is so so great. I feel like HP is much much bigger than it already is now... So many details, so much depth. I'm blown away. This is great!

[@hly1226]

Wow...this is a really good video. Music makes up a huge part of movies. A good score can make or break a movie, really. And yeah, I remember when I first heard the ending song for the trailer...I flipped the freak out. It just brought back the magic really... Well played studio people...well played. Playing up the nostalgia. >.

[@mazibukomail]

Agreed, good score makes a good movie eg The Shawshank Redemption

[@samm182]

I think Dumbledore's Farewell is also played when Harry brings Cedric digoties boxy back

[@GoodBloodGames]

Cinder Flame this is my favourite comment of all time. ❤️

[@malke9176]

Cedric Digoties boxy.

[@malke9176]

CK Studios we gathered that. I said my comment to laugh at it.

HPs soundtracks are amazing, after watching this series again i actually noticed some of these things

Dumbledores death brought back feelings I haven't felt since 30 minutes agoY

[@mariaharding919]

This made me really emotional! The score behind the movies always gave me strong senses of hope or sadness. Thank you for explaining the connections with these songs- definitely makes me appreciate the movies more

[@GaneshShghi12]

Nicholas hooper is the best. I know many will have a diff opinion. But half blood prince is a musical master piece

[@GoodBloodGames]

Ganesh ss I'm with you. Loved Half-Blood's score.

[@fajerebrahim7575]

Please make more videos! I can't get enough of them. They way you edit them, the music you use, the analysis of the videos! Great stuff. Keep on doing what you're doing we'll be looking forward to your next uploads.

[@PsychologyFeed1]

I had goosebumps when I read the title of the video, I wated the video twice I had goosebumps throughout, and now I am still having goosebumps. I don't know when it'll go away. I love you for making this.

[@datboi_gee]

Thoroughly enjoyed your delivery and detail in the execution of this video. From your comments to the editing itself -- punctual and provoking. Very well done.

[@abigailprice1753]

I TOTALLY did not cry during Dumbledores Farewell...

[@blueglitch8060]

[@runelt99]

I haven't even watched Harry potter and even I had trouble holding it...

[@toriandtilly]

I actually listen to this music while studying. It is probably the only thing that helps me focus and I am not sure why!

[@thickhil]

Omg same here

[@ThelouwseFD]

that's probably because you know it very well, your brain doesn't have to analyse it, or maybe it's just because it's magical

[@toriandtilly]

Louise GaryAVBl haha! both are true!

[@JohnSmith47534]

same ! welcome to the club buddy (or lady) lol

[@angeladavidson2350]

Same here! The Fantastic Beasts soundtrack always helps me relax when I'm stressed as well :)

[@vatsalamolly]

This video is so well made. Loved it.

[@dragonfruitsgalore]

The editing and sound in this video is amazing! Great job

[@Pmccaff2009]

The best use of Hedwig’s Theme in the whole franchise IMO, was when Neville returns to the rest of the students with Harry walking in behind him prepared to face Voldermort’s shitstorm. It was triumphant af.

[@stepheniebowen6527]

This is why music is so important. This is also why I always look towards music with everything.

[@alexleon3056]

who else almost cried at 4:07

[@kLuMzyOwl]

Eh, the book spoiled the movie for me, I almost never hated professor Snape in the movie because I already knew....but I don't think the movie appreciate Snape that much since the reveal of truth was so brief.

[@alexiskis1503]

kLuMzyOwl she I seen the movies before I read the books so I liked Snape from the beginning I don't know why but I always liked Snape. now that I have read the books I can see why people would dislike him initially.

You shared my love of two things: music theory and Harry Potter!

This is very well done cinematically!! Loved the overlay of the scores

[@williamredgrove3534]

Awesome video! Seriously though I can't even watch 5-10 second clips of Snape dying / his memories without tearing up, even after having seen it so many times.

[@madkraken1758]

Gonna rewatch the series with a whole new perspective

[@muzikmystro]

I love how you used music theory in this. Thank you so so much. ❤️

[@alexwashere1601]

Helen Kate Lynch it's amazing isn't

[@TheRizGuy]

I love the books so much, and highly prefer them, but I grew up with the movies, and this video just makes me love them again. Very enjoyable to watch (and listen). Also, count me among those who went nuts hearing Hedwig's Theme in the Fantastic Beasts trailer. :D

[@axrt]

me too! :D when the movie started, i got the chills :') I'm Ana btw, Ravenclaw, nice to meet you.

[@rm-09]

TheRizGuy I heard the theme and legit started screaming. I straight up started crying in the theatre. I was actually sobbing with my head in my hands. This music just does something to me

[@RobertDover1059l]

TheRizGuy I'm in hufflepuff too

[@TheRizGuy]

Robert Dover Yay! I love that. The more the Hufflepuffs the better. :) Hey Ana Banana, nice to meet you too. The music indeed has the power over us all, Phandom! At the disco :D

[@enionona8983]

TheRizGuy ohh you re a hufflepuff...

[@Erik-mz1ji]

What a great video. I haven't ever heard of musical forshadowing, and I absolutely love it's uses in the HP movies. When I heard about Snape my heart broke, and learning the music behind it, something else I love, just makes Snape just a little more forgiveable

[@elektroverts]

Now people see. Music is just full of emotions. Music can make you feel sad, happy even naughty! But, in Harry Potter, most of them is about sadness... It's so dark that it makes it even more interesting to watch!!
