I think it's one of the few times that a Film Studio said - hey, why don't we play a bit with the Film Studio Logo. So Each Harry Potter Film we see the same Warner Brother's Logo shape, but it has subtile changes that merges it into the first scene of the films.

My favorite is one is in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where it's this big shiny metal floating logo hovering over the Night Sky, and you keep seeing this flash of light (and sound effect) coming from a house that lights through the Warner Brothers Logo. As you pass through the letters of the logo, you go through the window of Harry Potter's room and see he is hiding under the covers working on his Magic - studying with his wand Illuminating so he can see. It's also the combination of editing, and the soundtrack that just makes it work for me.

So, what do you think of the Warner Brother's Logos for each of the Harry Potter Films?
Have you even noticed them?

My favorite ending credit scene
is also from the same film - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It's The Marauders Map of Hogwart's. I love the calligraphy used on the map of Hogwarts, with the footprints moving everywhere, as it scrolls down with the credits. I stayed till the very end because I liked it so much. I also liked hearing the soundtrack mix at the end of the film as well!

Yes! I love the themes created for the title sequences with the WB logo. The WB shield from OotP was brilliant, I think the tone and texture of the design was really great but I would choose the CoS one as my favourite. Although it is basically just the typical logo imposed on a cloudy skyscape but the colours and and lighting really appeal to me.

The PoA credits would have to be my favourite. I love moony_lupin
's idea for the HBP credits, I wished they had given greater detail to the credits of the most recent two films as with the marauder's map one. Admitedly I usually stay to the end of movie credits anyway because I like to look at the companies that worked on the special effects and the songs used etc. but for PoA I wasn't the last person left sitting! Everyone was mesmerised by them.
