Almost everyone can recognize the iconic soundtrack of the extremely successful Harry Potter movie franchise. Play a few seconds of the bars of the opening and you can’t help but picture yourself in a world of witchcraft and wizardry.

From Thursday, July 5 to Saturday, July 7, 2018 the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra will be bringing the Harry Potter soundtrack to life with a live performance of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in Concert, the fifth film of the series.

The Harry Potter Film Concert Series is like nothing you’ve seen before. The wizarding world will enchant you all over again as the film is projected onto a giant screen and a live symphonic orchestra performs the score. Laugh, cry, and cheer at your favorite scenes in this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Tickets range in price and are selling out quickly, so it’s a good idea to snag a couple before the event entirely sells out. Tickets range from $26 to $72, depending on which section of the theatre you select.

The event takes place at The Orpheum Theatre, located conveniently on the Granville Strip in the middle of Downtown Vancouver. Fun fact: the theatre was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1979

The Orpheum Theatre has hosted several exciting movie screenings with a live orchestra, including Star Wars and Jurassic Park. They typically host 2 to 4 of these events each year. You can always check on the website at vancouversymphony.ca for the latest updates and new concert announcements to see what is available.

Harry Potter in Concert will play at 7pm on Thursday and Friday, and 2pm on Saturday. More information is available on the Vancouver Symphony Website.
