Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second of J. K. Rowling's wonderful stories to be translated into film by director Chris Columbus. The film presented me with an opportunity to write themes for Rowling's growing collection of fascinating characters, including Fawkes the Phoenix, the noble bird that rescues Harry at the end of the film, as well as Dobby the magical elf and Gilderoy Lockhart, the foppish Hogwarts don. The present suite concludes with an orchestral version of "The Chamber of Secrets" in which I've tried to capture something of the awe and wonder of the mysterious Chamber itself.
