Hedwig's Theme is the main theme of the Harry Potter film series. It plays in the majority of the films, such as in the opening sequences for Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Half-Blood Prince; it also plays during the credits for Sorcerer's Stone and Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
History[]
Hedwig's Theme was not a stand-alone track to begin with. It was featured as a tune in the track "Prologue" for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, before being played in the end credits. The theme was very well received and was interpolated in every Harry Potter film score by subsequent composers, such as Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hooper, and Alexandre Desplat. It is also featured in the score to the last four Harry Potter video games composed by James Hannigan.
Hedwig's Theme has achieved significant pop culture status, featuring in ring tones, trailer music and other forms of multimedia. Most recently, it featured over the title of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film), which indicates that it will stay the main theme of J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World.
