The second to the last film of the famous movie (and book) franchise, the Harry Potter Series. Deathly Hallows Part 1, has become more extravagant, all thanks to Alexander Desplat and his official movie soundtrack for this film. The first track, “Obliviate”, provides a feeling of heavy sadness. This song was used on the scene wherein Hermione Granger made a tough decision to wipe her parents’ memory of her as she joins the Horcrux searching party with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. For an opening scene, this is something that can darken the viewers’ mood, but it cannot be avoided since the theme of the movie goes around the dark side – fighting against the evil in the Wizarding World.
