HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ TV Series Taps Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers as Composers

Hans Zimmer and his collective Bleeding Fingers will compose the score for the upcoming “Harry Potter” TV series, HBO announced on Thursday. They step into the massive shoes of John Williams who kicked off the iconic film franchise by composing the score for the first three films, the music of which soundtracked the very lives of an entire generation.

“The musical legacy of ‘Harry Potter’ is a touch point for composers everywhere and we are humbled to join such a remarkable team on a project of this magnitude,” Zimmer, Kara Talve and Anže Rozman said in a statement. “The responsibility is something that myself, Kara Talve and Anže Rozman do not take lightly. Magic is all around us, often just beyond reach, but as in the world of Harry Potter, you simply must look for it. With this scope we hope to bring audiences that little bit closer to it whilst honoring what has come before.”
