content

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was the third in J.K. Rowling's popular series of books to be presented on film. The story is rich with characters and situations offering wonderful opportunities for music.

This suite includes references to magic, flight and wizardry, including Aunt Marge's helium balloon trip, the zany Knight Bus ride through the city and "Double Trouble", the admonitory song of the students at Hogwarts School.

It was a joy to team up with film director Alfonso Cuarón on this adventure, and I must say I had a particularly good time setting music to this story which resulted in such an entertaining and enjoyable film.
