lightheartedness or not too deep because we're it's what did you call it light magic I think this is what you refer to this kind of thing as oh it's a it's a soft science world it's a soft magic system meaning that the magic exists but it's not really explained in a way that feels like science that's like understood like there are rules to it there are no rules to this magic but that's it's kind of intentional it's the uh and it's every day design of it

Part of the atmosphere is the original soundtrack they created, which I love the theme song they wrote for this.

It plays a lot.

It's completely different than the one you're thinking about for Harry Potter, but it sounds awesome.

I don't know who composed it, but it was great.

That said, there's not that much music in it.

They used music quite sparingly, which is understandable because it's like 20 hours long.

But they do repeat the same songs quite a bit.

And it kind of started getting on my nerves starting in book four.

Yeah, a little bit.

I'm telling you, they don't have that many music tracks to play with.

That's fair.

Now, one of the funny aspects of this being unabridged audiobook is that, you know, the movies have the opportunity to chop and screw with the story a little bit, to get rid of the goofier scenes.

Not here, which kind of creates... It made the producers have to give the same quality treatment of audio design and really good performances from talented actors to...

the goofy scenes just as much as the iconic scenes and so all of the weird goofy stuff from harry potter that didn't make it into the movies is in here with the same level of quality and i'm talking about goofy scenes like the quidditch world cup in book four like the actual match is nonsense what the hell is that scene yo and i'm just like i kind of understood why they cut it from the movies

With the mascots getting into fistfights.

It's so ridiculous.

Sports writer.

Yeah.

Wow.
