Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (soundtrack)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2007 film of the same name, based on the book by J. K. Rowling. Nicholas Hooper composed the film's score, following John Williams, who scored the first three films, and Patrick Doyle, who did the fourth. Though new to the series, Hooper had worked with director David Yates before. The soundtrack was released 10 July 2007, the day before the film's release. Development Hooper incorporated "Hedwig's Theme", the series' theme originally written by John Williams for the first film and heard in all subsequent entries, into the score. In March and April 2007, Hooper, conductor Alastair King and the Chamber Orchestra of London recorded nearly two hours of music at Abbey Road Studios in London with orchestrations provided by King, Geoff Alexander, Julian Kershaw, Bradley Miles and Simon Whiteside. Two new main themes were made to reflect the new character Dolores Umbridge and Lord Voldemort's invasion of Harry's mind. A Japanese Taiko drum was used for a deeper sound in the percussion. The trailer contains a track by X-Ray Dog, entitled "Divine Crusade", which first appeared on the album K-9 Empire before being
