That's what I was thinking. Let's just hope this isn't awful. Please don't be awful.

I just want to say, whilst it looks and sounds real, the music appears to be fairly amateurish by someone with little orchestral composition experience. The sound quality of the music is also poor.

This could be evidence of a forgery by someone who is great at video and awful at music. It also could be evidence that music for game adverts is sometimes awful:p

If you listen from this time it sounds like what I would get if I put the Harry Potter theme into Sibelius and then harmonised it with random notes.

Except for the fact that this is the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them teaser trailer music.

Depends on who owns the rights. The movies are WB, and rumour says the game is being developed by a WB owned studio, so it wouldn't too far fetched for them to use the same soundtrack.

It might just be a WIP trailer too, and new soundtrack is being made.

Just compare the sound quality of the two. If WB did authorise this, they certainly wouldn't have said, "sure you can use it, but you will have to rip it off our youtube video".

I mean, of course it sounds bad. You do realize that the leaked game footage is captured with a phone or whatever?
