Double Trouble
John Williams
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing.
Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Double, double, toil and trouble
Something wicked this way comes.
Along with Alfonso Cuarón’s clever direction and Stuart Craig’s arresting production design, part of what made the third Harry Potter film not just a good Harry Potter film but a good film, period, was John Williams’s refreshingly mischievous score, a soundtrack that was quite removed from his previous efforts in the franchise. Double Trouble, a reworking of a famous spell cast by the Weird Sisters in William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, instantly became one of my favorite tracks in the entire Harry Potter film series of scores. The playful music coupled with the children’s choral singing was unexpectedly unforgettable. No wonder it ended up being the leitmotif for the soundtrack and hence one of the great composer’s most brilliant, if unfamiliar, accomplishments.
