Grammy-winning music composer Hans Zimmer is all set to helm the original score for HBO's much-awaited 'Harry Potter' TV series.

Interesting choice. While Zimmer is undoubtedly talented, John Williams' original score is iconic. I hope the new music respects that legacy and doesn't try to completely reinvent the wheel. A tall order!

Wow! As a music student, this is so exciting. Zimmer's use of motifs and blending of electronic with orchestral is genius. Hoping for some Indian classical fusion elements? A girl can dream! 🤞 The pressure on these new actors is already huge, now the music has to live up to it too.

Good decision by HBO. They need a big, fresh sound to differentiate this series from the films. Zimmer's team at Bleeding Fingers does great work. But 2027 is so far away, yaar!

Respectfully, I'm not fully convinced. The original movies' music is etched in our hearts. Why fix what isn't broken? I'll keep an open mind, but they have a massive responsibility to get this right. No pressure!

Hans Zimmer composing for Harry Potter feels like a crossover event of my two favourite worlds! His music always has so much emotion. Just hope the story does justice to the books. The cast looks promising too.
