hi does any1 know where i can buy or download the whole orchestral part for any of the harry Potters??
And does any1 know which orchestra was used in Harry Potter?
Thanks Josh

Which instrument?

It won`t be free if that is what you are looking for. I highly doubt you are going to be able to download any of it off the internet.

Well I asked this question to my flute teacher a wile back and she told me to check flute world. I also gave her a copy of the CD and she started to write down the flute solo in "Secrets of the Casle." I`ve always wandered if my local music store, Volkwein`s, would sell something so difficult to come by, but I never came around to it. I`m thinking that it will be extremely hard to get if at all possible. I understand how you feal too. I love John William`s work for Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban especially. I`ve tried figuring out some of the flute parts, but they blend so well that it`s too hard. I hope I can go to Volkwein`s soon and ask.

sorry ran out of room
just an FYI
If I find and finish that flute solo I`ll post it. In fact if I find it I`ll post what I have so far or I could email.

I think the music for Harry Potter can be found in any music store... but I think its so popular that it sells out. It`s only available in solo instrument form though like the below links.

Personally... I wouldn`t pay more than 5 bucks for soundtrack books and I would only buy them if I can see them myself. They`re usually dumbed down quite a bit... though the screen shot of the first link looks promising (flute trio @ 144 w/ eighth notes) the second screen shot definately looks like simplified music fare.

Would you or anyone know if they would sell copies of the actual score?

You really want the "score"? You can find orchestral scores at http://www.lucksmusic.com.

Here`s a link to the "Harry Potter" search result:
