Jamie Parker is currently starring as Harry Potter on Broadway. So when he shared a video of him playing Hedwig’s Theme, obviously we all got a little emotional.
Fans really love Jamie Parker. The man currently bringing Harry Potter to life on Broadway is just a joy! From his work in History Boys to his Olivier award winning performance as the Boy Who Lived, Jamie seems like just a genuinely fun guy.
So when he took to Twitter to share a video of him playing piano, fans were happy to see a different side to the actor! That is until we all realized that he was playing “Hedwig’s Theme (Main Title” and then we all started to cry.
Turns out there’s a piano in the room upstairs... pic.twitter.com/Iub8WycEnC

The best part was the response “You should have played the Harry Potter theme” because a) there isn’t a ‘Harry Potter‘ theme and b) Jamie technically played what you would refer to as the theme. But maybe people aren’t as big of Potter nerds that they memorize the names of the score.
Either way, Jamie does a beautiful job playing the arrangement and it makes me wonder if he’d do a Harry Potter musical. Or maybe it isn’t too late to go in and add a scene where Harry plays piano. You know, he’s stressed and needs to unwind so he goes and playing his old friend’s score.
It probably won’t happy but at least we will always have this video of Jamie Parker playing “Hedwig’s Theme (Main Title)”.

If you can get a ticket, you can see Jamie in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child currently on Broadway. The problem is that tickets are very hard to come by. But if you get them, definitely see Jamie in action!
