‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ Turns 20: Director Chris Columbus Reflects on Pressures to Adapt Book and Hopes to Direct ‘Cursed Child’The Hollywood Reporter

I for one think it would be very interesting to see the play and its script book adapted for the big silver screen. Given that the play is split into two parts, I for one can just imagine it being a two-part film version if so. However, with all four composers that the Potter films have had throughout their ten years of production (i.e., John Williams, Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hooper, and Alexandre Desplat), trying to think of who they might or should choose to compose the score for such a possible film version is really difficult. John Williams masterfully laid down the foundation in his scores for the first three; but Patrick Doyle then gave its sound a much grittier and more realistic tone with stronger English musical sensibilities and themes of his own in the fourth -- then Nicholas Hooper gave it a much flightier feel and motifs of his own in the fifth and sixth, while Alexandre Desplat ultimately gave it a much darker sound with some minor adaptations of themes and motifs from the past scores accompanied by his own mannerisms for these characters and concepts. If they had to ask one or any of the previous composers to return, I'd love to hear a return from either John Williams, Patrick Doyle, or Alexandre Desplat, or perhaps a collaboration between two of the three. But if they had to hire someone new, I'd hope to hear David Arnold, the best composer in the 007 franchise since John Barry, as he proved his own fantasy writing chops in his score for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, score it; and I'd hope that the score that he'd create would be one that combines all the sounds, styles, themes, and motifs that Williams, Doyle, Hooper, and Desplat respectively created into each other, as if they were one and exactly the same, creating the best and most comprehensive and detailed score in the series since John Williams' scores. But what about you witches and wizards? What do you guys and gals think of this?
