MUSIC IN MOVIES: HEDWIG’S THEME IN HARRY POTTER

EXPLORE HORIZONS STORY WORKSHOP: HARRY POTTER

Perhaps the most recognizable melody of the Harry Potter franchise, “Hedwig’s Theme,” saturates the soundtrack of the first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This lecture briefly traces the musical history of the hero’s theme from Romanticism through sound film and describes how these musical representations of character influenced “Hedwig’s Theme.” Furthermore, the program examines the ways in which the theme’s absence and eventual return shape our understanding of Harry’s journey from young wizard to hero. There will be time at the end of the presentation for questions. Refreshments will be provided.
