England's Nicholas Hooper (a usual collaborator of new director David Yates) succeeds Patrick Doyle and John Williams. The screeching electric guitar that suddenly errupts on the very first track, "Fireworks," lets the listener know that all is not quiet on the Hogwarts front. The kiddies are growing up, evil is spreading: which is worse?! But actually this modern sonic touch is deceiving: Hooper works within an old-school format and mostly sticks to tried-and-true effects. His score is best when it goes for tension and unease, particularly in its use of low, rumbling tones: A choir starts by humming in a menacing manner in "Dementors in the Underpass"; the sound at the beginning of "The Death of Sirius" feels as if it's being belched out from some deep, dark, scary place, creating an effective atmosphere of dread. Elsewhere, the beginning of "Possession" feels as if it belongs in a J-horror movie, and then the track becomes deceptively calm before the storm hits again. Keen listeners will recognize Williams' "Hedwig's Theme" in "Another Story," but mostly Hooper is his own man. Just like the overall series, which gets darker and darker as it goes along, this CD makes for a rather brooding listening experience--the pizzicato violins on "Umbridge Spoils a Beautiful Morning" provide one of the few jaunty touches. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Advantages: The Game Lets You Freely Roam Hogwarts Disadvantages: The Spell Performing Isn't As Fun On An Xbox 360
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This, in conjunction with the movie, is the fifth game that follows the story of the books/films. I had played on the games for a couple of the previous films and i have to say i was never overly impressed. For this reason, my hopes weren't high for Order of the Phoenix (OOTP). I loved both the film and the book but didn't really expect much from the game. How wrong I was.
OOTP is EVERYTHING that I and ... ...and out). You play as Harry and can literally walk around Hogwarts as it is meant to be. The game developers have apparently gone over the books and the films with a fine tooth-comb and have designed Hogwarts as near to "exact" as you could be. It is an excellent experience being able to walk freely around Hogwarts. It's a MASSIVE place but you have the marauder's map to help guide you.
The game has no load times and is the most realistic one so ...
