Alexandre Desplat to finish Harry Potter series
Warner Bros has officially confirmed that Alexandre Desplat will be back as the composer for the last installment in the Harry Potter series Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. While Desplat’s attachment to the project has been expected given his involvement in the first part of the final book adaptation, there has been much speculation that John Williams might return to score the last movie of the franchise. The last movie begins as Harry, Ron, and Hermione go back to Hogwarts to find and destroy Voldemorts final horcruxes, but when Voldemort finds out about their mission, the biggest battle begins and life as they know it will never be the same again. Most of the cast & crew of the recent Potter movies including David Yates will be back for the film. Warner Bros will release the conclusion of the series on July 15, 2011.
