The first Harry Potter book was published in 1997 and ever since, the world can’t get enough of the series.

Now, Edinburgh-based fans can watch Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone at the Usher Hall with a live orchestra playing the film’s iconic music.

What happens at the concert?

Throughout September this year, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra is touring the UK, bringing the famous music of the first Potter film to life, live to the film of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, as part of the Harry Potter Film Concert Series.

President of CineConcerts and producer/conductor of the Harry Potter Film Concert Series Justin Freer said, “The Harry Potter film series is a once-in-a-lifetime cultural phenomenon that continues to delight millions of fans around the world.

“It is with great pleasure that we bring fans for the first time ever an opportunity to experience the award-winning music scores played live by a symphony orchestra, all while the beloved film is simultaneously projected onto the big screen.”

“This is truly an unforgettable event.”
