The Harry Potter Film Concert Series returns to the Hilbert Circle Theatre with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in Concert, the fourth film in the Harry Potter franchise. On January 11 and 14, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will perform the magical score while the film plays in high-definition on a 40-foot screen. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter’s name emerges from the Goblet of Fire and he becomes a competitor in a grueling battle for glory among three wizarding schools: the Triwizard Tournament. Everything changes as Harry, Ron and Hermione leave childhood forever and take on challenges greater than anything they could have imagined. Tickets are available online at IndianapolisSymphony.org, in person at the ISO Box Office on Monument Circle or by phone at 317.639.4300.

This delicious recipe was inspired by one of Harry Potter’s favorite treats: Mrs. Weasley’s Rock Cakes. A traditional tea time treat now in popcorn form, just in time for the cold brisk air.

Serves 10

Recipe by Just Pop In!

1 cup chopped almonds ½ cup mini chocolate chips ½ cup chopped cranberries 2 cups white chocolate chips

½ tablespoon sea salt

Mix chopped almonds, mini chocolate chips and chopped cranberries and set to the side. Temper white chocolate either via microwave or boil method (explained below). Pour the white chocolate over the vanilla popcorn, gently stir in mixture of almond pieces, mini chocolate chips and chopped cranberry. As white chocolate mixture is nearly cool, sprinkle on sea salt. Microwave method: At 50% microwave strength, melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Continue to heat in 15- to 30-second increments until completely melted.

Boiling method: Bring water to a boil in a pan big enough to accommodate a bowl inside it, then turn off the heat. Set a metal bowl that holds ²/³ of the chocolate into the water. Be careful not to let water into the bowl. Stir until melted; continue to add the balance of the chips until they too are melted. A temperature of 110°–115°F is recommended.
