Harry Potter...Swan Lake?

Late last night, I had an idea that Harry Potter's theme music sounded a lot like the main theme in Swan Lake.

D and I are reading the books together. We're just starting Book 3. (I read 1-4 a long time ago, but law school got in the way, and that was four years ago, so we're starting over.)

I don't know all the surprises in store for us, but I do wonder about the Harry-Voldemort connection. Odette and Odile?

FilmScoreMonthly.com doesn't comment on my (silly) music analysis, but it does vindicate my rambling late-night thought that there is indeed a touch of Swan Lake in the HP.

Fun stuff!

  1. I agree! I think HP borrows from just about everything. But then again there is nothing new under the sun. Lia went to SL for the first time on Sunday. She hasn't been exposed to HP yet. That order works for me.

  2. How exciting that she saw Swan Lake! How old is Lia?
