Mark Mackie from Castle Concerts said: "For many years we have been hoping to bring together 3 of Scotland’s major gifts to the world; Harry Potter, The Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Edinburgh Castle, for this incredibly special project.
"We are absolutely delighted that the planets have aligned this year and we are able to present this truly unforgettable experience."
When will the Harry Potter film concert at Edinburgh Castle take place?
Harry Potter fans will be able to relive the magic of The Philosopher's Stone at Edinburgh Castle on Sunday, July 14.
According to the organisers, audiences will be able to watch the film on a 39ft wide high-definition screen and enjoy a live score from the RSNO.

How to get tickets for the Harry Potter film concert at Edinburgh Castle
Tickets for the Harry Potter film concert will go on sale on Friday, March 22 from 9am.
Those interested in securing their place at the event can do so on the Ticketmaster website where tickets will be made available to fans.
Discussing the exciting night, Alistair Mackie, RSNO Chief Executive said: "The RSNO has an extensive history with film music, both in its performance and recording.
"Therefore, the opportunity for Scotland’s National Orchestra to perform the music of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone this summer in the iconic venue of Edinburgh Castle was too good to miss."
Audrey Jones, Historic Environment Scotland (Edinburgh Castle) added: "We’re thrilled to welcome the first ever open-air classical concert, the Harry Potter Film Concert Series with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, to Edinburgh Castle on Sunday 14th July.
"I’m sure that this will be a magical night, and a unique opportunity to enjoy this music in the magnificent surroundings of the castle, sitting majestically on top of Edinburgh’s old town, which is said to have provided much of the inspiration for the original story, and continues to enchant people from around the world.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
