sincere | Hedwig's Theme

It's been commented before that in the Harry Potter movies, a lot of Hedwig was downplayed. That owl is supposed to be very precious to Harry, almost as much of a friend to him as Ron and Hermione, the greatest constant in his life, especially that first year, and she's more or less ignored. I've read reviews where this was bitter-ed about, and, to a degree, I agree.

I'm listening to the Azkaban soundtrack, and the first track -- the core theme, the music that instantly makes people think Harry Potter! when you hear it on a commercial these days -- is called "Lumos (Hedwig's Theme)". For some reason, not only does that make me feel better about Hedwig, but it actually fills me with warmfuzzy, possibly to tears.

Wow, I'm such a girl some days. I don't even have hormones as an excuse.
