Performed by London Symphony Orchestra and London Voices, conducted by William Ross.
HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Soundtrack Album For A Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media.
The soundtrack to Warner Brothers Pictures' HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS is a fairly run-of-the-mill offering from the great John Williams. In other words, it's better than most other soundtrack composers' best work. Like the classic scores from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND or JAWS, the music here is rich and elegant, with heady doses of Williams's trademark charging string sections and thundering tympani.
While it often recalls the composer's work on RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and ET: THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL, the HARRY POTTER score also occasionally sports a certain cartoonish stop-and-start quality seemingly influenced by Danny Elfman. This style may seem slightly out of character for Williams (who's known more for his grand, sweeping statements and heart-stopping climaxes), but the effect is totally appropriate for what is, after all, a movie about a teenage wizard who rides around on a broom in a coat and tie. HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS provides a perfect reminder of the excitement, intrigue and light-hearted spirit of both the film and J.K. Rowling's novels.
Full Title - Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets. Composed by legendary film composer John Williams. Available in five different collectible covers. All editions will feature a Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets mini-poster. Atlantic. 2002.

John William AND William Ross John Williams mapped out the soundtrack, but he actually only wrote about 40% of it. William Ross who scored the new Disney movie, Tuck Everlasting, scored the rest of The Chamber of Secrets. Don't worry! If John Williams has a hand in it, it will be great!
