For five days in Laconia, New Hampshire, on Memorial Day Weekend, Potter fans overran the Margate Resort in full cosplay during the bi-annual MISTI-Con. The sold out Margate was transformed into the Ministry of Magic headquarters with spectacular decorations, including posters/signs, trinkets, and more. The two of us (MuggleNet Creative Team members Amy and Lizzie) got to experience it all first hand.
A few weeks ago we were excited to announce that MuggleNet was hosting a very special “Potter” party at the Young Adult Literature Conference (YALC), which takes place this July as part of the London Film and Comic Con.
While we’re gearing up in anticipation of the party and getting our House colors ready, here are our top ten ideas for hosting the perfect “Potter” party.
If you want to defeat a Dark Lord, you’re going to have to break a few eggs (and set at least one teacher on fire).
“No, I think you’re like James,” said Lupin, “who would have regarded it as the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends.”
Producer of “Fantastic Beasts” films becomes victim of wizard activist group.

Removed from a world where a hat gives you the ultimate aptitude test and you get to have “a cool wizard job” when you grow up, here’s what we reckon the “Harry Potter” characters would have gotten up to after they left school. Includes activism, infamy, and “The Wolf of Wall Street”.
You mean we can run around the neighborhood in our Hogwarts robes and earn cool medals for it?! I know what I’m doing with my summer now.
Amidst the recent surfacing of a few artists’ depictions of superheroes and other popular characters as the opposite gender than what they are usually represented as, I began to think about what our beloved “Harry Potter” cast might look like if the genders were swapped.
