Saturday, August 12 | Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone — In Concert

The “Harry Potter” franchise is the stuff of literary and cinematic legend; children and adults around the world have been dazzled by wizarding world for more than two decades. There is a special magic, however, that is unique to the films: John Williams’ incredible score. On Saturday, Potterheads can rejoice, as the first film installment, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” plays at Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall on a 40-foot screen. The screening, which is brought to audiences by SHN Broadway, will feature a symphony orchestra providing the accompanying music behind the film. The show (which also has Sunday performances) starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are available at SHN’s website.

Sunday, August 13 | Lady Gaga at AT&T Park

Lady Gaga has come a long way since arriving on the music scene in the mid-2000s.

Lady Gaga has always been about constant evolution, but her latest album Joanne feels like the purest expression of her often underestimated vocal abilities. The two singles from the album — “Perfect Illusion” and “Million Reasons” — have nearly 94 million and 135 million views on Spotify, respectively. Her concert at AT&T Park in San Francisco begins at 7 p.m., and tickets are available on Ticketmaster.
