Not only has Desplat, 49, penned the scores to the last two Harry Potter films, he's also scored other recent movies in which music plays a central role. These include Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life and Tom Hooper's The King's Speech, which won a BAFTA for Best Film Music. Other recent Desplat scores include Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Queen, as well as popcorn-munchers like The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
