[edit] Capital letter

Can anyone change the article title for Harry Potter music. It does not look professional with no capital letter to the P. Trimmo 19:54, 26 February 2006 (UTC).

Done. Dybeck 09:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization

Tristan, why did you feel we should add a category 'Harry Potter music', that only contains this one page? Dybeck 09:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps later there will be pages like Hedwig's Theme, Voldemort's Theme, etc. Or we could add John Williams page in this category (?). Trimmo 17:36, 27 February 2006 (UTC).

Surely the logical order would be 'Composers' -> 'John Williams' -> 'Works of John Williams' -> 'Harry Potter music', or some such? I think that otherwise, we're just making categorizations to justify the new category, instead of them actually aiding navigation as they're designed to do. Dybeck 13:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unwarranted Hyperbole

I see no real basis for the statement "The music from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is probably one of the most adapted score in the history of movie music. The adaptations include a jazz version of the principal themes." The availability of a jazz version hardly makes this "one of the most adapted score [sic] in the history of movie music." 18:56, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I've removed the line. I think that anyone who wants to assert that something is "probably" true needs a little more evidence before it belongs on the wiki. Dybeck 14:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leitmotifs

I think those who add something to this article need to know what is a leitmotif. It is not a song like those of the Yule Ball and it is not a melody we hear just once in the movie. It is a recurent melodic idea associated with something of more importance: a character, an emotion, a place, etc. So, the "Knight Bus" is NOT a leitmotif even if it is associated with the bus because it is a "song" appearing only once in the movie.
