REALLY annoyed that John Williams' "Dobby theme" hasn't been brought back. If you slow down that theme, it's actually an incredibly beautiful, moving melody and would have worked perfectly for Dobby's death scene. I'm excited to hear what Desplat is going to come up with, overall, but I just don't get why all the composers have ignored all of the music that came before them. Patrick Doyle ignored John Williams, Nicholas Hooper ignored Williams AND Doyle, and looks like Desplat is going to ignore all three of his predecessors. The only thing anyone seems to care about is "Hedwig's Theme", but there are so many more important themes in these movies that just never got to reach their full potential outside of a single movie.

I think it could have been like Star Wars or LOTR, where a handful of great themes were carried over and distributed throughout the ENTIRE series, but the HP soundtracks just don't feel complete together at all.
