The harp is usually a percussion/effects instrument when used in an orchestra. It can sound like a variety of drums (the strings aren't the only things that can make noise!). There is an effect called 'pan's Flute' which isn't anything like the actual flute instrument. It involves running your hand up the wire bass strings to make a whistling noise. The harp is a popular instrument in motion pictures and movies. The glissando can make it sound like the character is falling down stairs, or announce the entrance of a fairy. The harp is a popular wedding instrument, but is also popular at other events.
