Funny, "The Downed Dragon" has always been one of my least-returned-to cues from How to Train Your Dragon. I do love the dramatic fiddle bit, but it makes a reappearance in the far superior (and Powell-only!) "Battling the Green Death", so I get my fix for it there.
I like "The Cove", but it's basically just the Astrid theme on a, uh, melodica? I want to say accordeon, but that doesn't seem quite right either. In any case, that theme is 100% Powell's for sure. If it was Mollo's choice to orchestrate it that way, good on him - it's a lovely low-key moment.

Just search a score, call up its page and it'll be there inside the track list. Not every score has it, but plenty do (and often even the complete scores). Here, for instance, is Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End:

Yikes!

Well, Hans Zimmer is co-credited for Henri IV but didn't write a note. It's all Henry Jackman. Similar story with Winter's Tale and Rupert Gregson-Williams, but Zimmer did provide a short piano theme to that (the first thing you hear in the opening cue) which means his name appears by proxy on a lot of cues that he actually wasn't involved in shaping.

It does have an email option if you'd like.
