2. Hedwig's Theme

All those accusations of fan-baiting aside, there is no magic in the cinematic world quite like hearing the fanfare from Hedwig's Theme that greets the end of the trailer. It ranks up there with the Star Wars opening bars and the James Bond fanfare in terms of conjuring up the magic of the brand instantly.

And though it might have been nice for Fantastic Beasts to have its own theme, this Wizarding World adopting Hedwig's Theme as its official music is not a bad thing by any means. Just try and resist the hairs all over your body standing on end when it plays at the end of that trailer.
