Back on topic, I'm absolutely thrilled that Desplat is doing Deathly Hallows. He evokes the kind of emotion that this movie requires - joy, sorrow, despair, fear. As a musician, I find his scores compelling and well-written. They are full of emotional depth, which we need for this film.
And he seems to be in tune (pun fully intended) with the film - he knows what the directors want, he knows what the producers want, but most importantly, he knows what the audience wants.
I cannot wait!
