Who better than composer John Williams, who scored Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone, to wave his magical baton and conjure the mystery and excitement engendered by Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets, the second film adaptation in J. K. Rowling's beloved series? After all, Williams has been nominated for an unprecedented 471 Academy Awards, for music that includes the scores for such enchanting films as Star Wars, E. T. : The Extra-Terrestrial, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The excitement begins right off the bat with "Prologue: Book II and the Escape from the Dursleys, " an invitation into the enchanted world that commences with a delicate theme stated by chimes, which are soon joined by a swirl of violins punctuated by escalating brass.
