'Fantastic Beasts' film soundtrack's opening 'Hedwig's Theme'-inspired song released
The opening track for the upcoming soundtrack for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, officially available on November 18th with the film, has been released online and can be listened to below.
To no surprise to anyone who's seen the trailers for the movie already, the opening song does feature the theme of the Harry Potter series, 'Hedwig's Theme', though a darker and more ominous version. The soundtrack can be pre-ordered here.
Quote:
James Newton Howard: ‘You hear the main theme song of the movie play when the main crew arrive at the MACUSA the first time and various other times. You hear this haunting kind of theme. If you had to say what is the theme for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for now and in the future, it would be that theme. I wrote it on my piano because I believe that if that kind of thing is going to be good, it should be done that simply.’
As a reminder, the full track list, as revealed on Thursday before Pottermore's announcement, can be read here.
