Introducing the soundtrack to your Wizarding World holiday season from the artists of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, featuring Cursed Child London’s own Michelle Gayle and Thomas Aldridge.
‘A Magical Time of Year’ was recorded to raise money for the Lumos Foundation, a charity founded by J.K. Rowling. Named after the light-giving spell in Harry Potter, Lumos brings light to the lives of vulnerable children around the world – helping them out of orphanages and reuniting them with families. Take a sneak peak of Thomas and Michelle recording their songs here.
