Events
As many of you will know, there are many Harry Potter events going on across the globe, but for some of us, very few of them are convenient enough to attend. Hopefully this page will evolve to give you details about past and upcoming Harry Potter-related events, from the amazing conferences to the (hopefully plentiful!) book signings.
Also, have a look at some of our event reports!

MuggleFest Celebration
1st-31st July 2011
The Oshkosh Public Museum, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA
MuggleFest is a month-long Harry Potter celebration/exhibition at the Oshkosh Public Museum in Wisconsin. It includes a costume contest on the 14th July and a celebration of Harry Potter's birthday on the 31st July. There will be a sorting ceremony, opportunities to gain house points, wand-making, quill-making and gnome toss in the grounds! It sounds like great fun, and props will be on show as well. Luckily, we hear that muggles are welcome too!

LeakyCon 2011
13th-17th July 2011
Orlando, Florida, USA
With such spectacular programming and some fantastic ideas, there is no doubt that LeakyCon 2011 is the ultimate fan conference. Unfortunately, a 'hop across the pond' is necessary for those of us who live in the UK. At around the end of April 2011, it was announced that there are 400 tickets left for LeakyCon. Programming currently seems to include a private event in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, a midnight screening of Deathly Hallows Part 2, podcasts from MuggleCast and PotterCast, a visit from Team Starkid, and more! Sounds like every Potter fan's dream...
