The “WRONG. DON’T.” alarm from both chapter 16 and this one come from Kill Bill. It’s very jarring, which I think works well, as it reflects how jarring Harry’s sense of doom must have been to knock him out of his Akira-moment.

I loved the Quake soundtrack, I listened to it often while not playing the game. The entire time that I was reading the Azkaban arc I heard Hall of Souls running through my head, over and over. It was the perfect background music – full of stalking, creeping menace. The whispers in the back of your head, the feeling that just beyond the doors things lie in wait that wish you only harm. I kinda wanted to have it running in the background the whole time, but I figured that might run into the same problem as the Phoenix Song (doesn’t work for everyone). Instead I used it as one of the intro/outro songs over the course of this arc. Because obviously there was no way something like Catch That Goblin could work here without destroying the entire mood.
