Learning on his 11th birthday that he is a wizard destined for greatness, Harry leaves for wizarding school and discovers a new world of witchcraft and wizardry. Watch the wand choose the wizard, a troll run amok and magic mirrors in high-definition while the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performs John Williams’ iconic score.  

Join us for an evening of music and magic as Harry, Ron, Hermione and all your favourite characters return to the screen and enchant the world all over again.
