Ithra Brought Harry Potter To Life And Gave Fans An Outstanding Experience

Hera Shabbir

Potter fans got to indulge in a unique orchestra-lead screening of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

The music enhanced all the nostalgic scenes and moments in the movie taking viewers on a journey they didn’t know they needed. The orchestra had synced all music to each scene, with even the conductor watching the movie in front of him, making sure to catch and beautify every moment.

The 90-member orchestra took 10 days to practice and was lead by conductor Tim Henty

Henty expressed his joy preforming for the Kingdom, and told Arab News: โ€œIt has been such a joy to perform to audiences at the Ithra, who are clearly well informed about music and, indeed, to visit Saudi Arabia, where we have all felt so welcome.”

Ithra has also hosted other movies from the series, including Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone back in 2019 on a 40-foot screen

At the end of the screening, the audience gave a long standing ovation for the show, and clapped through all the credits as the instruments kept playing.
