Harry Potter - Hedwig's Theme

In this episode, we look at Hedwig's Theme from the Harry Potter series written by John Williams. We look at the origins being written for the trailer as well as how it is adapted over the course of all 8 films both by John Williams and the other three composers, Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hooper and Alexandre Desplat. Along these lines, we see how this theme tells the story of Harry, Hogwarts, and owls. In other words, the world of magic.
