- John Williams scored the first three Harry Potter movies and originated the main theme that appears in all the films. For Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, he won an Academy Award for Original Score and two Grammy Awards for Best Instrumental Composition and Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture.
- Building on the score of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, here Williams introduces memorable themes for new characters like Dobby, Fawkes, Gilderoy Lockhart, and the Chamber of Secrets itself.
- To achieve the score’s unique blend of mystery, humor, and darkness, Williams used a wide range of instruments, from the celesta and harpsichord for Gilderoy Lockhart’s whimsical theme to the low strings and heavy brass for the giant spider Aragog’s suspenseful motif.
