Yesterday, LeakyCon announced two more exciting guests coming to the convention in August!
Pierre Bohanna (Head Prop Maker) and Jim Cornish (Storyboarder) from the Harry Potter films will attend LeakyCon to give guests an insight into the making of the films! Bohanna has worked on The Dark Knight and Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, so there’s plenty to ask him about props and models, and his recent work on Fantastic Beasts, Beauty and the Beast, Justice League and Rogue One! Jim Cornish has 25 years of storyboarding to his name, and has also worked on The Dark Knight and Fantastic Beasts amongst other films such as Gravity and Skyfall / Spectre.
We are taking you #BehindTheMagic this summer at #LeakyCon with guests whose work brings the the Wizarding World to life on screen!
