The dream Christmas present for a Harry Potter fan is coming to Dublin

If you're already thinking about Christmas presents for the Harry Potter fan in your life, we've found something a little more special than the usual stocking fillers.

A magical live concert experience celebrating 25 years of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is coming to Dublin next year.

We think it would make the perfect gift for anyone who grew up dreaming of receiving their Hogwarts letter.

The concert is taking place at the 3Arena on Saturday, April 3rd, 2027, where Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in Concert will bring the beloved film to life in a whole new way.

The original film will be shown in high definition on a huge 40-foot screen, while the RTÉ Concert Orchestra performs John Williams' iconic soundtrack live, conducted by Justin Freer.

That means fans can relive every magical moment, from Harry discovering he's a wizard to his first adventures at Hogwarts, while hearing the unforgettable music performed by a full orchestra.

It's part of the official Harry Potter Film Concert Series, created by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences and CineConcerts, which has already welcomed more than 4.5 million fans worldwide since launching in 2016.

Whether you're buying for someone who grew up reading the books and watching the films, or a younger fan who's only just discovering the wizarding world, it's a lovely experience to look forward to together.

Tickets went on sale on Friday, November 13th at 10am through Ticketmaster.ie, so you'll want to be quick if you're hoping to surprise someone with tickets this Christmas.
