In this version of the Harry Potter title, the colours used and the sound used behind it, are far more sinister in comparison to the first movie. The colours here are dark, wispy and smoky. They reflect the mood and atmosphere of the film it's representing, as well as the severity of the problems faced by Harry, Ron and Hermione. With each film, the title gradually gets darker and more sinister, along with the story and plot it's labelling. In the first instalment, the colours used are innocent and childlike, just like the characters, but as the story goes on, the characters mature, and so the title and posters must also reflect this. The colours may change with each film but the one thing that remains the same is the font. The font is in the form of lightning bolts, referencing Harry's iconic scar on his forehead. In the 5th instalment, 'Order of the Phoenix', Hagrid notices the storm coming and says "It's changing out there Harry.. Just like last time". This is also reflected in the title as the last 3 film titles are shadowed by threatening thunder storms, like the one Hagrid noticed.
