To be honest, I didn't find Desplat's score for the last two Harry Potter films very engaging. I much preferred the work of Nicholas Hooper on the Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince films.

I'll have to listen to Desplat's score again to see if it's really as "meh" as I remember, or if associated Harry Potter fatigue simply made me tune it out.

I didn't seem like Desplat was given much creative freedom with the Potter scores, which is unfortunate. There are a few moments that are reminiscent of Williams' style.
