The amazing movie score from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer s Stone (also called the Philosopher s Stone) by John Williams and recorded in a London studio orchestra with members of the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra is a favorite across the globe. In a USA Today interview, Williams says, I wanted to capture the world of weightlessness and flight and sleight of hand and happy surprise. This caused the music to be a little more theatrical than most film scores would be. It sounds like music that you would hear in the theater rather than the film.
