MAGIC. There's precious little of it in today's world. Most of us re-discovered magic in the pages of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" books. As adults, we were transported back to a more innocent time in our lives when we first discovered the promise of a better future and the possibility that good can overcome darkness and evil.

When I began the process of turning "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" into a film, my one goal was to remain true and faithful to the spirit of the book. The meant shooting the entire picture in England, casting all British actors and not straying far from the original text of the novel. It also meant choosing a composer whose music could capture the richness and texture of this complex, imaginative story. I felt there was only one man who could accomplish this. John Williams.

John's music for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a towering achievement. It works on several levels. It's a brilliantly constructed companion piece to the film, integrating seamlessly with every image and emotion. It's also a fantastic record, a classical concept album, telling the story of Harry Potter with music. But most importantly, it captures the soul of the Harry Potter world. There is a moment in the book and the film when Harry opens his letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and realizes that he is, in fact, a wizard. At that moment, Harry becomes free to dream. John's music creates the same response in the heart of each listener. It liberates your imagination and gives you the freedom to dream. So put on this record, sit back and dream. Dream of flight. Dream of defeating Dark Lords. Dream of winning a Quidditch match. But most importantly, dream of magic.

《哈利波特》系列电影最后的篇章充满许多心惊胆颤的对决画面，善与恶的较量在魔法世界中决一胜负。终结篇的场景远比先前的几集更为壮烈、更具震撼力，同时电影首度以3D方式呈现！所以，对于电影音效和画面的搭配要求非常高。这个重任仍然由法国配乐天才亚历山大•迪斯普拉特（Alexandre Desplat）全权负责，并协同电影作曲者、管弦乐编曲家康拉德（Conrad Pope）齐心构思音乐蓝图。
电影原声带共有 25 条曲目，风格明显与前面七集哈利波特不同——更多了壮烈的史诗音乐，更多缓慢而沉重节奏，而少了婉转的小调。终结篇探讨的是内心交战、正邪两派的相互对峙、情谊间严苛考验等议题，每个桥段的音乐都在亚历山大细腻的层层剖析下呈现，同时加强深沉黑暗的诡谲气氛！音乐搭配电影恢宏的3D效果，紧密针对视听感官下手，丝毫不让乐迷错过各个惊险场景。亚历山大此次对于终结篇电影音乐的创意发挥了极致，可以被认为是哈利波特系列电影音乐中的极品之作！
迪斯普拉特从小受过古典训练，精通钢琴、小号与长笛，同时也是位知名指挥家，与伦敦交响乐团、皇家爱乐、捷克爱乐、慕尼黑交响乐团等世界知名团队都曾有过合作经验。终结篇的电影音乐录制地点仍然选在披头士（The Beatles）、平克佛洛伊德（Pink Floyd）、绿洲（Oasis）等超级摇滚团体最向往的Abbey Road工作室录制。除此之外，还邀请到1904年成立至今响誉国际的伦敦交响乐团（London Symphony Orchestra）担纲演出。
