Hedwig Loose in Professor McGonagall’s Classroom

Well, not the owl herself, she having taken a killing curse in battle to save Harry and all.

<Brief pause for tears as we relive that scene in our heads.>

A haunting rendition of her theme from the movies was recorded by the King’s Singers at Durham Cathedral, which served as the set for McGonagall’s Transfiguration classroom.

The King’s Singers, a Grammy-winning vocal ensemble originating out of the Chapel Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, were at Durham Cathedral to give a concert and decided they had to honour the location with a Harry Potter tribute.

There are no words to Hedwig’s Theme as composed by John Williams, so the ensemble hummed an a cappella version, which you can view on Classic FM.
