The Full Story
Here’s what’s happening next weekend in San Antonio, as detailed in a press release from our friends at San Antonio Symphony (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter):
“The Harry Potter Film Concert Series returns to The Majestic Theatre with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban™ in Concert, the third film in the Harry Potter series. On December 21–23, the San Antonio Symphony will perform this magical score live from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban while the entire film plays in high-definition on a 40-foot screen.
In their third year at Hogwarts, Harry, Ron and Hermione meet escaped prisoner Sirius Black and learn to handle a half-horse/half-eagle Hippogriff, repel shape-shifting Boggarts and master the art of Divination. Harry must also withstand soul-sucking Dementors, outsmart a dangerous werewolf and deal with the truth about Sirius and his relationship to Harry and his parents.
Earning an Oscar® nomination for the score, the spellbinding and masterful music composed by John Williams became a celebrated classic, conjuring beautiful, soaring motifs continuing the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends on their magical journey.
Tickets for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in Concert are available at the following official ticket sources: online at Ticketmaster.com, by calling the Majestic Theatre Box Office at 210-226-3333, or in person at the Majestic Theater Box Office (226 E. Houston Street, Monday – Friday, 10:00 am – 5:00 p.m).”
We received press passes to see the performance, so we plan to talk further about the event next week in our social media feeds.
But we’ve got a little something for our readers, too!
