Florida Orchestra announces ‘Goblet of Fire’ Harry Potter concert in downtown Tampa

Harry Potter fans rejoice! This spring, Tampa’s Straz Center welcomes back its film concert series celebrating the magical universe of Harry Potter where the movie plays while the Florida Orchestra does the score.

Tickets to see Florida Orchestra’s “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” at David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa, Florida on March 4, 2022 go on sale to the public on Friday, Dec. 3 at 10 a.m. and start at $49.75.

The performance happens at Morsani Hall where “Goblet of Fire”—the fourth Potter flick, featuring the Hogwarts clan competing in the dangerous Triwizard Cup—will screen in high definition on a 40-foot screen while the orchestra plays Patrick Doyle’s score. If you haven’t already, you might want to watch the first three movies first to get acclimated with the wizarding world.

The franchise’s cast is gathering to celebrate its 20-year anniversary, leaving out creator J.K. Rowling. The distance, assumed but not confirmed, resulted from Rowling’s archaic views on transgender people. Yet, another issue of separating the art from the artist.
