After a brief interruption from an escaped St. Mungo’s patient and former Death Eater, the Exhibition Quidditch game between Harry Potter’s Gryffindor team and Draco Malfoy’s all-Slytherin team is underway with Lee Jordan and Luna Scamander in the announcer’s box…
This week has been all about the fans and the “Harry Potter” fandom on social media. The week kicked off with Tom Felton’s BBC Three documentary, “Tom Felton Meets the Superfans”, which featured interviews with J.K. Rowling, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint, as well as several Potter superfans that Tom met along the way.
HogCon Day 2: Dumbledore’s Army panel discussion continued ~ Scribble: “Just one more question, Arabella. But first, for those of you just joining us for the DA discussion panel, welcome. Thank you for deciding to grace us with your presence.” (Says in an uncanny impression of Professor McGonagall). “Now, as I was saying, I have one last question. This one is for Mrs. Hermione Weasley…”
It’s almost here! There are 30 days until MuggleNet Live! 2015: Expo Patronum, and even more special guests have been announced!
Everyone knows that “Harry Potter” fans are some of the best people in the world. You can walk into a room of strangers at a “Harry Potter” event, and by the time you leave you know most of their names and haven’t spent a minute not having anyone to talk to since you arrived. There’s a certain connection we have all formed with each other through these special books that is really interesting. In light of MuggleNet’s upcoming convention, I thought I would reflect on a few of my favorite memories of interactions I’ve had with other fans at “Potter” events in the past.
We’re continuing to count down the days until the Hogsmeade entrance to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hollywood will magically appear. This week, MiceChat brought us updated photos from the construction taking place behind those cinder block barriers, and all they’ve done is make us more anxious for the grand opening!
For me, “Harry Potter” and London will always be linked. With previous visits in 2004 and 2007, both dedicated exclusively to “Potter” events, I decided that my next trip there would be also. My next visit will be centered around a very special event in April…
In light of MuggleNet’s own convention, MuggleNet Live! 2015: Expo Patronum, here is a list of practical and fun things everyone should do when attending a “Harry Potter” convention.
We decided to organize Expo Patronum – MuggleNet’s first-ever convention! – on April 18 in London, with an EXCLUSIVE “Harry Potter” vacation package!
