I completely agree with you! This score was great at complementing what was on screen. Although i don't understand why they replaced "wizard wheezes" with "fireworks" from the 5th film. Like "wizard wheezes" was way better.

Even as a listening experience on the soundtrack its a huge step up from the previous film. And Hoopers themes are well developed especially in the latter half.

However i do think the producers had problems with Hooper. Like why replace good pieces like wizard wheezes with cues from previous films? it just doesn't make sense.

If you embrace this new musical style in the Harry Potter world your bound to find something good in Hoopers score.

The score is easily worth at least 3 stars.
