HBO\u2019s Harry Potter TV series is moving forward with a different musical voice. Hans Zimmer says the reboot will stay \u201cas far away as possible\u201d from John Williams\u2019 Harry Potter score.<\/p>\n\n
If \u201cHedwig\u2019s Theme\u201d<\/strong> is still the sound you hear the second someone mentions the wizarding world, that\u2019s exactly the challenge. Zimmer\u2019s view is simple: nobody\u2019s getting close to what Williams did, so the HBO series isn\u2019t trying to copy it. It\u2019s building new motifs and longer musical arcs for a story meant to play out over time, with one season for each J.K. Rowling novel under showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod.<\/p>\n\n Zimmer has dealt with this kind of baggage before. After coming in after Williams on Superman, he said Zack Snyder\u2019s \u201cIt\u2019s just a movie\u201d advice on Man of Steel helped him stop getting stuck on legacy. For Harry Potter, he\u2019s developing the score<\/strong> with Bleeding Fingers Music composers Kara Talve and An\u017ee Rozman.<\/p>\n\n If this reboot is going to earn its place, that break in approach probably makes sense, even if fans are already split. Some see John Williams<\/strong> as inseparable from Hogwarts. Others think a new sound is the only way this version has a chance to stand on its own.<\/p>\n\n You\u2019ll be able to hear that new direction<\/strong> when the Harry Potter TV series arrives on HBO.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HBO\u2019s Harry Potter TV series is moving forward with a different musical voice.
