On this MAGICAL twin night, we visited the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to see
HARRY POTTER & THE SORCERER'S STONE!!!!!
We made sure to wear our Hogwarts robes and Ashley got us matching dresses in our house colors!
We were definitely stylish witches! Ashley must have visited Madam Malkin's for such wonderful apparel!
The Hilbert Circle Theatre was decked out with brooms, self-writing pens, a London phone booth and more!
There was even a merchandise area for picking up any last minute bits and bobs!
An amazing dragon stood menacingly in the hall!
We arrived early and valeted the car so that we could take in all the sights and sounds of the day!
A lot of people were dressed up, but the reactions we got from kids really made our day!
When it was time to take our seats, we found ourselves on the Second Mezzanine, Row GG!
Amazing seats right on the end of the first row!
What we really were not prepared for was that they showed the entire film!!
We have often agreed that this is the most magical movie because of its innocence, first discovery of the wizarding world, and musical score.
As the emotions of the movie swelled, so did the live music and our hearts!
Even though we have seen this film hundreds of times, it truly felt like a whole new experience!
We felt the music was sometimes so true to the movie, you forgot it was live.
Other times, it was so moving, you felt the movie had cast you as the final character; transporting you to the heart of Hogwarts!
Our favorite scenes brought tears or laughter as we sat in the historic, mirrored theatre.
The big screen and rows of strings made the experience more than magic!
We were in potions class, casting spells to make feathers fly, and learning lessons of bravery, friendship and making your own way in the world.
Although the ticket prices were a bit high (and wine was $6/glass), we agreed:
We would have paid any amount of money for this experience!!!
There is absolutely nothing like this for a true Potter fan!
After the show, we turned down Diagon Alley to go to Indianapolis' version of the Leaky Cauldron (Napolese).
We had some pizza with quail eggs and talked nonstop about how amazing the show was!
We didn't even mind the stares of muggles as we enjoyed reveling in the perfection of doing all this one day before Halloween!
Perfect timing, perfect outfits, perfect show, perfect dinner, perfect twin day!
