Over the course of Harry's growing up years and 8 films, Harry makes friends and makes a new family after years of being an orphan with less than desirable relatives. He also loses friends and family as the years go darker and fighting Voldemort and his Death Eaters. While very few themes carry throughout all 8 films, there are several that carry through a few such Harry's Wondrous World by John Williams. This rather long episode covers themes with his best friends Hermione and Ron, falling in love with Cho and then Ginny, dealing with the loss of his parents, and then later the loss of beloved mentors and friends. It is a journey of joy and deep grief as I look at all the different music by John Williams, Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hooper, and Alexandre Desplat that take us along that emotional ride over the years.
