    The Harry Potter Film Concert Series returns to the Plaza Theatre with the second film in the series, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," in concert.

    The El Paso Symphony Orchestra, conducted by James Welsch, will perform John Williams' score live while the entire film plays in high-definition on a 40-foot screen on Saturday, Nov. 9.

    The symphony performed the first film, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," at the Plaza in 2022

    In "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," adventure and danger await as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger face flying cars, a fighting tree, and a mysterious house-elf, Dobby. The film features a Grammy-nominated score by Williams, known for its beautiful and soaring motifs that continue Harry Potter's magical journey.

    "Harry Potter is synonymous with excitement around the world and we hope that by performing this incredible music with the full movie, audiences will enjoy returning to the Wizarding World," said Brady Beaubien, concert producer for the Harry Potter film concert series.

    Harry Potter and the Cursed Child available to license

    "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is now available for schools to license and produce. The newly released School Edition was adapted for productions to take place on high school and secondary school stages, with rights available as early as October 2024.

    The new Harry Potter adventure is based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, and the play was written by Jack Thorne. Harry Potter’s feisty son Albus befriends none other than Scorpius Malfoy — son of Harry’s enemy Draco. The two unlikely companions use a Time-Turner to alter past events, but their actions lead to unintended consequences — which force both the new generation and familiar faces from Harry's past to unite and set things right.

    Broadway Licensing Group announced its acquisition of the amateur licensing rights to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in September 2023. Since then, the company partnered with the original Cursed Child creative team to fashion the script for schools
