Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Concert

Return to Hogwarts as Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets comes to de Doelen in Rotterdam from 17 to 22 November 2026. Experience the complete second Harry Potter film on a giant screen while the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra performs John Williams' unforgettable soundtrack live, conducted by Justin Freer.

Harry Potter's second year at Hogwarts begins with a mysterious warning from the house-elf Dobby. Before long, strange events threaten the school, students are mysteriously petrified and an ancient secret hidden within the castle begins to emerge.

As Harry, Ron and Hermione investigate the Chamber of Secrets, they encounter flying cars, dangerous creatures, magical mysteries and a powerful enemy connected to Hogwarts' past.

Experience the complete film with a live orchestra

Instead of a traditional cinema soundtrack, audiences will hear the film's orchestral music performed live by approximately 90 to 95 musicians from the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra.

John Williams' score brings the magical atmosphere of Hogwarts to life, from the familiar musical themes associated with Harry Potter to the dramatic compositions accompanying the film's darker moments.

The orchestra performs in synchronisation with the movie, allowing audiences to experience the relationship between moving images and live music in a spectacular concert hall setting.

The film is shown in English with Dutch subtitles. The complete experience lasts approximately three hours, including one interval.
