I’d always been intending to use certain themes more consistently throughout the series in my Harry Potter edits. However, this video series has convinced me to go all out. This thread is about assigning meaning to various existing themes to be used more often and developped into proper leitmotifs. Everyone can contribute. There will not be any actual edit for this (unless you count mine, which will vary in far more ways than this). It’s just a resource for faneditors to use. Here’s what we’ve got so far:

Existing Connections:
Hedwig’s Theme - Main Theme
Leaving Hogwarts - Friends/Family (I suggest using it throughout the series rather than just in 1&2)
The Face of Voldemort - Voldemort’s Theme (Same here)
A Window to the Past - The Marauders
Fireworks - The Weasley Twins

Proposed Connections:
Fawkes the Phoenix - Dumbledore’s Theme
Fred and George (OotP Game) - Also the Weasley Twins
The Burrow (CoS Game) - The Burrow/The Weasleys (suggested by Harold Flower)

Existing Themes:
Harry’s Wondrous World
Buckbeak’s Flight
Harry in Winter
Return to Hogwarts (HBP video game)
Lily’s Theme (I propose reworking it into a variant of A Window to the Past)

Proposed Themes:
Quirrel’s Theme
Lupin’s Theme
Snape’s Theme
Neville’s Theme
The Order of the Phoenix
Draco’s Theme
Horcrux Theme (we could just use Voldemort’s Theme for this)
The Deathly Hallows
