One moment…

We conclude our Harry Potter show with a medley of five memorable tunes. After short but different restatements of "Hedwig's Theme" and "Nimbus 2000," the chart moves into the rip-roaring swing tune "Wizard Wheezes." This is followed by the often humorous "Hagrid the Professor," which features an optional brass quartet, before ending with the gorgeous and poignant "A Window to the Past." This wonderful show features extraordinary music arranged by an extraordinary writer!

Why we love this

This medley captures the essence of the Harry Potter universe in a single show, and the arrangers have nailed the balance between recognizability and fresh interpretation. The five-tune structure gives your band multiple musical moods to explore within one piece, and the optional brass quartet in "Hagrid the Professor" lets you customize the sound to your ensemble's strengths.

What to expect

You move from the iconic grandeur of "Hedwig's Theme" into the infectious groove of "Wizard Wheezes," then find humor and character in "Hagrid the Professor" before landing in genuine emotional depth with "A Window to the Past." The piece feels like a conversation between the fantastical and the poignant, never letting the listener rest for long.

Who it's for

Band directors seeking a crowd-pleasing show that lands with general audiences while remaining musically substantial enough for serious students. This works equally well for fall festivals, Halloween concerts, or end-of-semester programming when you want to showcase both musicality and fun.

How to get the most out of it

Bring out the swagger in "Wizard Wheezes" by keeping the rhythm section locked and letting the melody brass push the swing feel forward without dragging.
The transition into "Hagrid the Professor" benefits from a slight tempo adjustment; clarify this moment in rehearsal so your band moves through it decisively.
Balance the optional brass quartet in "Hagrid the Professor" so it can be heard but never drowns out the rest of the ensemble; this is an accent, not a takeover.
Sustain the emotional weight of "A Window to the Past" by resisting the urge to rush; let the upper voices sing and support them with a solid harmonic foundation.

How to use it

This three-part medley works as a standalone feature that bookends a concert or as the centerpiece of a thematic show. Its five-minute scope fits neatly into competitive marching band schedules and gives your audience a satisfying musical journey without requiring knowledge of the films to enjoy the ride.
