A Comparison of Harry Potter Soundtracks - John Williams and Alexandre Desplat

This is a DEEP DIVE into the soundtracks of the Harry Potter films, and particularly The Philosopher's Stone, and The Deathly Hallows. I want to explore why these films sound so different from each other, what stylistic elements each composer favours, and the impact that these stylistic differences has on the atmosphere of the films.
