Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, directed by Chris Columbus, is based on J.K. Rowling’s first book in the series. Long before Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) was the Triwizard Tournament Champion or Undesirable Number One, he was an orphan who lived in the cupboard under the stairs at No. 4 Privet Drive.
All of this changes on his eleventh birthday, when Harry discovers he is not only a wizard but is also famously known as The Boy Who Lived. Join Harry aboard the Hogwarts Express as he journeys to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he makes friends (and enemies), learns about Quidditch, fights a troll, and ultimately learns more about Voldemort.
Whether you’re a Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Muggle, or Squibb, everyone is invited to experience the magic of Harry Potter live in concert.
Holidays with the Philharmonic is a series of fun and festive concerts to celebrate the holidays.
