So what you're saying here is that you are really interested in filmmusic, but hadn't heard any John Williams music before Harry Potter? Wow, now that's a major accomplishment if you ask me. It's like being really interested in music, but not knowing who the Beatles were.
John Williams is, and for always will be, the king of filmmusic. Thanks for every magical experience you have brought us
