Warner Bros. Explorations Global Themed Entertainment segment and CineConcerts produced the only official Harry Potter Film Symphonic Audiovisual Concert Series to tour the world in celebration of the Harry Potter films, which has seen more than three million fans experience the wizarding world since the world premiere of the Harry Potter and the Mysterious Sorcerer's Stone™ Concerts in 2016, and has been performed by 2024 in over 48 countries with over 2,973 performances.
In their third year at Hogwarts™, Harry, Ron and Hermione meet Sirius Black, an outlaw; learn to ride Buckbeak, the hawk-horse, to defeat shape-shifters of all shapes and sizes, and to study the ancient art of Divination. As Harry struggles to resist the Dementors, he must outwit the vicious werewolves and face the truth about Sirius and his connection to Harry's parents.
The compelling and masterful Oscar-nominated score by John Williams has become a celebrated classic, conjuring up beautiful, soaring themes that continue the magical journey of Harry Potter and his friends.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire™, Harry Potter is accidentally chosen to participate in the thrilling Tri-Wizard Tournament prepared by the three major wizarding schools. In this competition, he faces dragons, underwater demons, and a magical maze, only to find himself in a trap long laid by Freddy Krueger.
Winner of the International Film Music Critics Award (IFMCA) and the ASCAP Film and Television Music Award, Patrick Doyle's richly composed score injects fresh emotion and darker melodic undercurrents as Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione face these new adventures.
