The Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets original motion picture soundtrack was released on 12 November 2002. The score was originally slated to be conducted entirely by John Williams, but due to scheduling conflicts with the scoring of Steven Spielberg's film Catch Me If You Can, composer William Ross was brought in to conduct the scoring sessions in London with the London Symphony Orchestra.
From what can be heard in the soundtrack, there are six new themes, representing Gilderoy Lockhart, the Chamber of Secrets, Dobby the House Elf, Moaning Myrtle, Fawkes the phoenix, and the spiders.
Upon its release, the soundtrack was available in one of five different collectible covers. Each cover featured a different character or characters packaged above the main cover featuring Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
The soundtrack was a Grammy nominee for the Best Motion Picture Soundtrack in 2003. It charted on the Billboard 200 at 81, and also charted at five on the Top Soundtracks Chart.[1]
