Will they use the HP theme in the actual film...?


Or is this just for the marketing material?

I'm pretty certain it is only for marketing.

I would assume only for marketing.

Maybe they will put it just a little bit. It worked for me in the teaser so I hope if they put it, they will make it subtle

That's what I was thinking as well.

That's what I hope. This series needs its own unique theme, but be nice to have the HP theme used subtlely in the movie too

reply

Why wouldn't they? Though it's a not a Harry Potter story, the theme is the one most associated with the magical world by the general public, even those who only know the series through the movies and not the books.

As that great philosopher Bugs Bunny said, "Something tells me I shoulda stood in bed."

I'm assuming you're referring to "Hedwig's Theme"; and since they used that in "Deathly Hallows Part II" after Hedwig was dead, I'll assume they'll use it here too. It's just too iconic for the series.

Having seen the first 10 minutes of Fantastic Beasts at the Global Event today, I can confirm that the very first thing you hear in the movie is a few seconds of Hedwig's Theme.

reply

Does the movie open with the WB sign coming at you like in the Harry Potter movies ? And how does it look like ?

reply

I haven't seen the first ten minutes of the film but I have read of someone who did that you can hear the theme for the first couple of seconds and then it transforms into it's own theme. Like the track they released not that long ago. The logos will appear in HP style, just with a different title :P

Tbh tho, I could do without the HP theme for the first couple seconds and I hope they drop that with the sequel. Haven't listened to the full score yet, gonna experience that in theater lol

This is actually the main theme from the movie, you can hear Hedwig's Theme at the beginning of the track.
