Conventions, Fan Events, Fans, LeakyCon
It hardly feels like nine years since the Harry Potter books ended, but as a great band once sang: This is never going to end. At LeakyCon, we’ve always known that the boy wizard will never be gone as long as those who remain are loyal, and in a year full of extra Potter-y goodness, we’re delighted to bring fans together for LeakyCon 2016, an immersive fan experience in Los Angeles, CA.
Previous LeakyCon guests have included actors from the Harry Potter films, and this year is no exception. We’re excited to welcome back Charlotte Skeoch (Hannah Abbott) and Ellie Darcey-Alden (young Lily Evans), both of whom attended LeakyCon in the past.
For our “Behind the Magic” series, we’ve got guests from all over Potter production: Pierre Bohanna, head prop maker of all eight of the films; Laurent Guinci, theme park costume designer; Katy Fray, who did prosthetic makeup on the films from Half-Blood Prince onward; and Bryn Court, head sculptor for the films and parks (he designed that dragon in Diagon Alley!).
On Thursday and Friday, we’ll be celebrating our love of wizard rock with performances by Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys, The Whomping Willows, Tonks and the Aurors, Lauren Fairweather, Tianna and the Cliffhangers — and special reunion performances from The Parselmouths and The Mudbloods.
If you haven’t bought your tickets yet, they are still available at www.leakycon.com! For longtime fans, it’s truly Potter paradise, and you won’t want to miss it.
LeakyCon will take place October 19-23.
