For me, it was a great challenge because i love very much John William's work. He's certainly the last one of the big geniuses of soundtrack music of the second part of the XXth century. So it was an great honnor for me, an great joy, i have lot of fun.
Before beginning work on the movie, last summer, i wrote lot of version of this them in particular [They spoke about Hedwidge Them], in all directions, and when time to put on screen with director arrive, in fact it doen't worked. that for in this first part of the last movie there few moment with this them. It was evoked 3times i think, for less than 20 secon on screen. And its way the most purified just with the melody, just few accords, and still some measures. I didn't develop even the modulation which comes behind. Just because we realize, with David Yates, that the kids aren't at school anymore, they are in fact losing their innoncence. They are thrown in the real world and for that the theme wasn't valid anymore, didn't have anymore its place in THIS movie.
So may be it will come back in the second part, that i will begun in few days, because we go back to Hogwartz, he finds his friends, so may be it will have a recollection of the theme. But in the first part it was finally useless.
But for me John William have created themes, not only this one in particular, for Harry Potter that will be eternal. it's Great !

And this is more of a complaint about the direction Yates and Heyman have been going with Part 2. They seem to think it should be a really fun movie. No. No it shouldn't. It should be darker than Part 1 (perhaps not aesthetically) because look at how many deaths there are in Part 2 compared with Part 1, and that is the death of characters who have been there since the very early books, not just the likes of Chairty Burbage, who was never mentioned before DH. So hearing that there may be plans to incorporate Hedwig's theme more significantly in Part 2 does not fill me with hope. I'm sorry, but just where would "Harry's Wondrous World" fit in between all the deaths and carnage? The way they keep mentioning how Part 1 was so dark and different because they were out of Hogwarts, "but oh don't worry they go back to Hogwarts in Part 2" kind of suggests that they are going back to Hogwarts for fun and magic times. They're not. The reason they are going back to Hogwarts is to fight a war. So they should stop suggesting that them going back to Hogwarts somehow makes the movie happier and lighter than Part 1.
And the only place for Hedwig's them would be in light scenes. Apart from right at the very end, I can't think of many places it would be appropriate.
And yes, I remember being all excited when he said Hedwig's theme had been underused and was disappointed when he disclosed that he barely used it, but it works just fine. I didn't miss it that much, which surprised me. As Desplat says, it just doesn't fit the mood of most of the scenes.
Hope you like it!

Have faith. He delivered a fine score for Part I. Part II is, as cast and crew say, the 'epic' film of the series. Not the entertaining GoF-style film. Yes the epic battles will be entertaining for the action junkies and for all fans and casual movie goers who eventually see the grand war, but this doesn't mean that the whole feeling will be like: 'Woohoooo, we're gonna kick some DE asses, bitches!'
That was mutilated and barely used apart from obliviation or Snape to Malfoy manor (i can't quite remember which it is) and Ron leaves again and again.
