Kansas City, Missouri is a long way from the magical comforts of the Burrow, but it looks like the Weasleys will be hopping the Floo Network next spring for the Midwest. The region’s largest and longest running comic book convention and pop culture event will be host to a wizarding family reunion when three Harry Potter fan favorites, Bonnie Wright, and James and Oliver Phelps appear at the 20th Anniversary of Planet Comicon Kansas City.

Planet Comicon released their first round of special guest announcements today including Bonnie Wright who played Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter films:

  And James and Oliver Phelps who, of course, played Weasley twins Fred and George:

Not only was Leaky lucky enough to see Wright and the Phelps twins at A Celebration of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando in January, we had the pleasure of attending Planet Comicon the past two years, where we met the incomparable Jason Isaacs, Harry Potter Death Eater Lucius Malfoy and the charming Matthew Lewis, Gryffindor hero Neville Longbottom. We also had the chance to mingle with hordes of costumed Con goers at the event, including the Potter super fan group Kansas City Potterheads who have produced this special message for the Weasley’s upcoming visit to Kansas City:

Will you be headed to Kansas City next March for a Weasley family reunion? If so, get your Potter cosplay ready and let us know how it goes. Maybe we’ll see you there!
