Don’t miss the epic experience of 'Harry Potter' on the big screen with the magical soundtrack performed live.

At any point in time, somebody, somewhere, is re-watching Harry Potter. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is no exception, but this re-watch is extra special – the MSO is screening Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix live in concert.

Remember the first time you heard the Harry Potter theme play at the start of the movie? Imagine that, but performed live by a full symphony orchestra.

The incredibly talented Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will be bringing you the tunes while you watch the best Harry Potter film (don’t @ us) on a giant screen.

No matter how many times you watch Harry and his friends race through the Department of Mysteries or see Umbridge get carried away by centaurs, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix never gets old.
