The Harry Potter franchise is known for its music. The films, for example, are brought to life by the iconic soundtrack composed by legend John Williams. Few soundtracks are quite as hair raising, moving, and — aptly, here — magical.
And what about Hogwarts Legacy? As the game is finally getting its release on PS4 and Xbox One early next month, you might be wondering what the music is like. Has the new team made something completely new, or have they rehashed Williams' beloved fanfares from the films?
Thankfully, it's a whole new musical experience with a few nods to John Williams.
We love it, and we're thankful that we can listen to the Hogwarts Legacy soundtrack any time. So who is the team behind the new music, and where can we listen to it outside of the game?
Chuck E Myers was the lead composer of the Hogwarts Legacy soundtrack, with composers Peter Murray and J Scott Rakozy also working on the music for the highly-anticipated game.
Myers is a long-time collaborator with developer Avalanche Software, having previously composed music for toys-to-life sandbox Disney Infinity and Pixar adaptations Cars 3: Driven to Win and Toy Story 3: The Video Game.
Murray has previously composed for romcoms Quest for Love and Beauty and the Billionaire, while Rakozy has worked in the sound department for acclaimed horror Hereditary.
