Just when you thought Harry Potter couldn’t get any more magical, one London venue has announced a very special Hogwarts-inspired event for 2020.
The Harry Potter film franchise has memorable music running throughout it and, to celebrate the brilliant score, the Royal Albert Hall has announced it will be screening one of the films with a live orchestra.
The Harry Potter Film Concert Series will return to the famous London venue next year, for a showing of the fifth installment of the saga – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Nicholas Hooper’s magical score will come to life with the help of live symphony orchestra – who are yet to be confirmed.
The chosen group will be conducted by Justin Freer – the man behind the music in Avatar and who has previously led orchestral renditions of The Godfather.
The venue will be putting up a big screen in the auditorium, showing the film in high-definition – so Potterheads can relive every single detail of J.K. Rowling’s story.
Organisers of the event have said that the film will be running with subtitles, too.
It’s worth pointing out that the run time is 137 minutes, but there will also be a 25 minute interval – probably for the instrumentalists to refresh and recharge.
Tickets go on sale at 10am today – Friday 6 December – on the Royal Albert Hall website. But we’re guessing they won’t be around for very long – so don’t wait around.
There are also hospitality packages available for those looking to make their night event more enchanting.
For anyone who can’t remember what happens in the Order of the Phoenix, there are two words which should jog your memory – Professor Umbridge.
The film sees the arrival of the Professor and Hogwarts, who is determined to undermine Dumbledore’s authority. It also features the death of a very special character.
