Oh, I'll have to go watch the Golden Compass DVD now again and see if the music was good.

I would have loved for John Williams to return, but I hope that Desplat's score fit DH Part I. I'm not familiar with his work, apart from the Golden Compass soundtrack, which I'm not too fond of because I think it sounds bland, but I don't want to judge his music on the only bit I've heard.

I loved John William's work for HBP very much. Especially the theme were Dumbledore and Harry are standing on that rock facing the cliffs. Very well done. I am not familiar with any of the films Desplat composed the music for, so I can't judge on his work, but hopefully it be fitting. It needs to be monumental for DH
