Harry Potter Music

This lens is a proud member of the Room to Read - Harry Potter fundraising group. A purchase made from any of the participating lenses helps raise money to build schools and libraries in developing countries.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 for Room to Read.

Nicholas Hooper composed the music for Order of the Phoenix. Until now, he has not been well know in America.

He is a British film and television composer. He has composed music for the BBC productions: "Land of the Tiger" and "Andes to Amazon."

He has also composed music for the movies: The Tichborne Claimant, My Family and Other Animals, and The Girl in the Café.

You can listen to an interview at ScoreNotes. (He hints that he may continue composing for The Half-Blood Prince.)

Patrick Doyle composed the music for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

He was born in Scotland and studied piano and vocal performance at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Before working in the film industry he worked as a piano teacher. He also acted and composed for British television. He is best known for his collaborations with Kenneth Branagh and has composed music for many movies.

John Williams composed the music for the first three Harry Potter movies.

He was born in New York and attended school at UCLA, Los Angeles City College and the Julliard School of Music. Before working on movies he performed as a jazz pianist and wrote music for television in the 1960s, winning two Emmy Awards.

He has since composed the music for over one hundred movies, winning four Golden Globe Awards and Five Academy Awards.

All of my Harry Potter lenses are dedicated to my sister, Kelly. After struggling for thirty years, she has lost her battle with the dementors.

In her memory I make a monthly donation to Room to Read from the proceeds from my Harry Potter lenses.
