Nicholas Hooper

Nicholas Hooper composed the scores for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, bringing a darker, more introspective colour to the series as its story deepened. A British composer with a long career in television — including acclaimed work for the BBC and collaborations with David Attenborough documentaries — Hooper writes with restraint and atmosphere. Performed live, his wizarding-world music balances tension, melancholy and moments of pure magic.
