Counting down to Harry Potter

Do you remember the first time you heard Hedwig's Theme from the Harry Potter films? The John Williams composition sparks chills with each tinkling beat and sets goosebumps crawling up your arm with every soaring rush of orchestral sound. Watching the trailer for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, which begins with a spooky, stilted version of said theme, has the same effect.

The last time you'll hear this song in theatres is fast approaching, with the final installment of the blockbuster series making its way into cinemas on July 15. It'll most likely be the last time we see myriad wizard robe-clad fans camping outside theatres for hours beforehand, shrieking -- perhaps crying -- with anticipation and excitement over the characters dreamed up by bestselling author J.K. Rowling.

We're definitely anticipating one of the biggest movies of the summer (it's 78 days away -- we're counting!) and the bittersweet end of an epic, record-setting film franchise. How about you?
