And “The Weasley Stomp,” a lively orchestral dance with gorgeous timbres, is a nice send-off. “Wizard Wheezes,” a big band-style workout, did not appear in the movie, but nicely fits into the album’s flow. As Harry Potter begins his sixth year at Hogwarts, he discovers an old book marked as 'the property of the Half-Blood Prince' and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort's dark past. By contrast, “When Ginny Kissed Harry,” which accompanies a key moment in the narrative, is romantic in flavor. One striking cue is “Inferi In the Firestorm,” where Hooper turns to the dissonance of the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg, et al, for inspiration. Listen to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Nicholas Hooper on Apple Music. (In the film, “In Noctem” is heard over the closing credits.) The soundtrack is both varied and thoroughly cohesive. The album’s second cut, “In Noctem,” a choral piece featuring Latin lyrics, includes musical material that reappears throughout the score. The pair worked together on the Brit TV series, The Girl In the Café and the feature film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and the score that Hooper composed for the Yates-directed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is excellent. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them.
Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. British composer Nicholas Hooper and British director David Yates have a track record of successful collaboration. When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why.
