“Composing for the recent Harry Potter games has been a hugely satisfying experience for me, so I was delighted to be asked back to work on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” says James Hannigan. “Once again, we recorded The Philharmonia Orchestra at Air Studios in London and the players performed magnificently well, as they always do.”

“Stylistically, the music itself has darkened considerably for the new game, largely following similar changes in the underlying story – but is not without its lighter moments,” explains James. “A fresh approach to gameplay has also necessitated an interesting and, I hope, effective approach to the game’s interactive music.”
