"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is a film score composed by John Williams for the second installment of the Harry Potter film series. The soundtrack was released on November 12, 2002, by Warner Bros. Records. The film premiered on November 3, 2002, in London, and was released worldwide on November 15, 2002. The soundtrack consists of 19 tracks, with a total running time of 68 minutes. The score features a mix of orchestral and electronic music, with Williams incorporating themes from the first film and introducing new themes for the characters and locations in the second film. The first track, "Prologue: Book II and the Escape from the Dursleys," sets the tone for the film with its ominous and foreboding melody. The track features a choir singing in Latin, adding to the sense of mystery and danger. The second track, "Fawkes the Phoenix," introduces a new theme for the character of Fawkes, a phoenix who plays a significant role in the film. The track features a solo violin and a choir, creating a sense of wonder and magic. Other notable tracks include "The Chamber of Secrets," which features a haunting melody played on a solo cello, and "Dobby the House Elf," which introduces a playful and mischievous theme for the character of Dobby. Overall, the soundtrack for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is a masterful blend of orchestral and electronic music, with Williams once again demonstrating his ability to create memorable themes and motifs that enhance the film's storytelling.
