and Williams even snuck in part of Across the Stars from AotC into the main title music for Catch Me If You Can (listen to the smooth jazzy section - the melody is Across the Stars)
Can we just take the time to appreciate how smooth that transition was at 2:00? It really highlights how similar the soundtracks are, and if one did not know they were from different trilogies, they would likely think they were from the same movie, or even a part of the same soundtrack.
That’s because they are! The song that plays is called “Catching the Snitch” and for some reason the song is never credited in Star Wars. The working theory is that another composer, Ross, who was working for Williams accidentally gave it to the Star Wars Editors.
@@itsabunchofrandomlettersajdtni actually the reason why It's similar was because John Williams worked on both of These films on the same day, After He did Attack of the clones He immediately got the call to Chamber of secrets, Since He didn't have much time He just uses the same track He just made, "Zam the Assassin / The Chase Through Coruscant"
Actually isn't it supposed to be Voldemort that turns to the Dark Side and Harry turns out to be Voldemort's true son but doesn't turn evil like Luke Skywalker?
Plausible theory: Notice the CoS Soundtrack cover says "Arranged and Conducted by William Ross". Williams was so busy that year with Episode 2 and Minority Report, that he had to outsource the score to Ross. So, Williams sent Ross the scoring sheets for the first HP movie to be adapted, and some new tracks along with them. What likely happened was, Williams sent one of the Ep 2 tracks by mistake.
That is a good theory or he was getting lazy to create two separate tracks and just used the same pieces with slight alterations. Honestly, he can't plagiarize himself. Though I think George Lucas and David Heyman might not be thrilled at this.
@@AryaForce , well, AotC also features heavily edited cues from TPM, especially in the Battle on Geonosis. I even read somewhere that it was intended that way by Lucas himself and not because Williams had 4 films to score in one year. So I don't think he wouldn't be thrilled at this.
So that's why he didn't score 4-8. Goblet of fire in particular because Revenge of the sith was the same year, just imagine the Anakin Vs. Obi wan theme playing during Harry's confrontation with Voldamort.
The reason they sound the same is because while John Williams was working on chamber of secrets, he was also working in 4 other movies one of them being attack of the clones. Because of this he got another composer to help him with Harry Potter when he couldn’t do it. Then somehow there was a mix up and the Star Wars track worked its way into Harry Potter
@@themarvelboy3818 *The title says 'very similar scores', but I was making a point that some parts in both films are exactly the same.* *But yeah, maybe you kinda whooshed me, so congrats kid.*
I have a conspiracy that the droid factory scene was mostly added post-scoring. Until right at the end, all the music heard in the scene was music from earlier or later in the film, which could just be to keep the same musical landscape, but it’s especially weird that Yoda’s theme shows up in it, despite Yoda having absolutely nothing to do with that scene.
I just noticed this today. My husband and I were watching Chamber of secrets that chase scene when both are after that gold ball and he said this sounded like the scene were Anakin and Obi wan are chasing the bounty Hunter on curoscant.
Heh, watching Chamber of Secrets right this instant and I thought the same thing about that scene where Harry and Draco are chasing the Golden Snitch :D
That's why I'm here lol. Was watching CoS and noticed the Coruscant chase music 😆I don't know why I never noticed before, maybe it's because I'm older now and pay more attention to the music in films and shows.
He also did Catch me if you can the same year I think. Busy here for him caused some misplacement. Chamber of Secrets is mostly all pre existing tracks from the first film anyway. But he worked hard and made a lot of great new leitmotifs for the 3rd film
I know he did Attack of the Clones first but the music fit the Qudditch scene way better in Chamber of Secrets, it really captured the ferocity when Harry and Malfoy are both chasing that golden snitch and the ending matches with Malfoy failing perfectly.
I am glad he stayed around for one more movie, Prisoner of Azkaban soundtrack stands on its own instead of just being Philosopher Stone soundtrack again with a few differences (probably due to the timing of making all those other movies at the same time).
A scene in "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" share the same score. It's suspected that the mix-up occurred due to a confusion between John Williams, the composer, and William Ross who was assisting John Williams with the project.
Isn't it funny how both star war and harry potter have the same themes. Both Luke Skywalker and Harry potter are raised by their uncle and aunt. Both parents are killed. Both leave their home as kids to be with other people.
Also in prisoner of Azkaban when werewolf lupin goes after Hermione and Harry a small bit from episode 3 plays. I believe its the part that obiwan is chasing grievous in utapau
Palpatine: Execute Order 66. *Anakin betrays the Republic after being emotionally manipulated and deceived.* If Anakin had known that the necklace Palpatine gave to Anakin to give to Padme as a gift was really a way of killing her, Anakin would have never trusted the Chancellor again. Lord Voldemort: Kill them all. *Harry Potter chooses his friends and love over evil power* If Harry had lost his friends and Ginny, would he have succumbed to evil and joined the Dark Lord? Probably not.
Here's a reason why this is more efficient than others. Of course, we know the controversy of Madame Web stealing the score from the Spider-Man game. If that so happens to be true, one could say that the composer for that film was just lazy. This, on the other hand, is the same person. Thank makes it okay.
Apparently, he was so confused that he also wrote the main theme for Game of Thrones! In 2002!!!))) ua-cam.com/video/8xa3eOS71c4/v-deo.html What a legendary man!
This is because Jonh Wiliams was composing Harry Potter TCOS and Star Wars AOTC in the same year, and surely his inspiration was over. Sorry but i am not a very good english talker xd.
I'm not a fan, but I have seen Chamber of Secrets a couple of times. I am a huge Star Wars fan and have seen Attack of the Clones too often to count. Why did I never recognized the relation???
I guess this is what happens when you work on The Chamber of Secrets, Attack of the Clones, Minority Report, and Catch Me If You Can at the same time.
Lmfao true
Damn.. John Williams really was busy back in 02
and Williams even snuck in part of Across the Stars from AotC into the main title music for Catch Me If You Can (listen to the smooth jazzy section - the melody is Across the Stars)
In 2002, Danny Lux scored Halloween Resurrection. The movie may not have been a hit, but its score was okay.

This image just made my day.
Or Wizard Wars: Attack of the Chamber of Clones

So I was not so crazy after all for finding them so similar. That chasing part of the Quidditch score had always sounded too familiar!
Yes, because harry potter copied star wars
They literally messed up and put star wars music in harry potter, like how did that happen 😂

and theyre both episode two of their series. insane.
And both came out in 2002!

Same
Me too. I thought I was going crazy.
I just caught myself humming the star wars theme and had a brain blast outta nowhere that it sounds just like Harry potter
Sameeeee
same bro
It's so cool that even if they are so similar you can relate the texture and the tone of every score to their movie.
Who cares the guy could do a full score featuring nothing but the sound of him farting into a trombone and I'd love it.
I spat my cucumber juice.
Lmfao
@@keitha.355 Ye and he spat farts
that happens when you have to compose for Star Wars at 5 pm and for Harry Potter at 6 pm

John... its just exactly the same f*cking thing
Also, after Harry has killed the Basilisk, the theme sounds remarkably like any slow version of Imperial March from the original trilogy.
Harry was giving into his hatred.
I always imagined Harry killing the Basilisk with the Rancor Pit soundtrack and viceversa.

I guess it makes sense because 1. Its John Williams and 2. Both films came out in 2002.
Well both had the same year of release so it's plausible to assume that he was doing their scores back to back.
Both of the scores were made by John Williams...
@@darkbum1510 thats.... what he said...

He also did Catch me if you can the same year I think. Busy here for him caused some misplacement. Chamber of Secrets is mostly all pre existing tracks from the first film anyway. But he worked hard and made a lot of great new leitmotifs for the 3rd film
he was doing 4 films that year, quite busy
Both were excellent films released in 2002! A great year for movies in my life! I love this connection!
I know he did Attack of the Clones first but the music fit the Qudditch scene way better in Chamber of Secrets, it really captured the ferocity when Harry and Malfoy are both chasing that golden snitch and the ending matches with Malfoy failing perfectly.

I was just watching that quidditch scene and was like wtf this sounds like Star Wars
Lol same
i love both sagas, the George and J.K. version
You're a jedi harry!
This is trippy... They sound so similar but I can still tell which is which just by the vibe
According to TV Tropes this would be an example of a "Recycled Soundtrack."
I think Williams was in a "harry" and didn't have time to compose another piece, so he adapted one from SW
I noticed the similarities when I was 4 and I almost thought I was going nuts or something.
It ain't plagiarism if you copy from yourself, you know.
1:15
2:04 both kinda sound cool
Isn't it funny how both star war and harry potter have the same themes.
Both Luke Skywalker and Harry potter are raised by their uncle and aunt.
Both parents are killed.
Both leave their home as kids to be with other people.
The Techno Union, will be at your disposal Lord Voldemort
I remember watching the movies as a kid and tripping out, about the music as well as thinking it was all in my head lol
apparently it was a genuine mixup, this music was never supposed to appear in Harry Potter
When the test ask you the same question but phrased differently and you still have 14 assaignments due tomorrow.
I was listening to the opening of The Last Jedi trailer without paying attention to it and mistook it for Hedwig's Theme. Now I know why. 😬
I love that this happened. I just watched all the Harry Potter movies for the first time and instantly recognized the music from Sw Episode 2
You are Jedi, Harry.
I thought I was the only one to notice this! People looked at me like I was crazy when I told about this.
3:21 - 3:27 Sounds Exactly Like The Very End Of The Revenge Of The Sith Trailer.
These are the definition of can I copy your homework except nit really
Chamber of Secrets also has some parts similar to The Last Crusade.
Oh well it works for both films really well 🤷
Both episode 2 of the series both released in 2002
I guess John Williams got his notes mixed up back in 2002.
to be fair Toby fox did the same thing with megalovania
The second track was used on the quidditch scene
I think I see the emporor's theme in voldermort's theme.
0:23 "What if I told you that Hogwarts is now under control of the Dark Lord of the wizards."
I think I only noticed the speeder chase and bludger chase scenes.
Tbh the music could go both ways
They fit both franchises pretty well
Something tells me that John didn’t have the electric guitar bit in the Chamber of Secrets version lol
I love that both have the same music because this builds up a connection
He was working on 4 scores at the time while working on harry potter so some of the attack of the clones music slipped into harry potter by accident
I just noticed this while I'm watching Chamber of secrets now
I came here to confirm my suspects.
They're confirmed.
And also in 4th movie there's a similarity with star wars music.
Also in prisoner of Azkaban when werewolf lupin goes after Hermione and Harry a small bit from episode 3 plays.
I believe its the part that obiwan is chasing grievous in utapau
What’s interesting is that the same guy who played the wolf also played darth Vader in rogue one. Some 6 foot tall person
The Seeker it’s also weirder that lucias Malfoy also voices the grand inquisitor in Star Wars rebels
Uh POA came out in 2004 of June 4 not 2005
Second hand book and a hand me down robe! You must be the Weasley’s
i watched the harry potter movies for the first time a few months ago and i was so confused to why i was hearing star wars music

It was confirmed that he was so busy with both movies he accidentally composed some Star Wars music into Harry Potter 2
no problem cuz both two music were composed by John Williams
