I even saw that the Hyatt had themed dinner menus for their guests. I might have even seen a photo of Voldemort outside the Omni. My girl was While the entire event is geared towards older muggles and wannabe wizards, Leaky Con does have several craft stations to appeal to younger fans.
More on that below. I wish we had a Leaky Con alumnus with us, but the wizarding world is very kind. This year was its first time in DALLAS and tickets sold out so quickly, the organizers Mischief Managed, of course had to change venues to the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center downtown and offer up more because apparently the number of wizards in our area quite caught them by surprise.
And yes, Perot girls already have our tickets. Get yours here before they sell out! Thank you to everyone that came by my booth to say hi and that bought my goodies!

Do your part. I had an absolute blast running around as gillyweed Harry, and I made pretty much everyone either laugh or smile! I had multiple people complimenting me on the creativity and the originality of my cosplay.
The Harry Potter Alliance and most of the internet usual suspects were there, with live podcasts and other fun events. Of course, the Leaky Cauldron team led several programs, as did the folks from sites like Mugglecast and Pottercast. Fans could wait on line and wait, and wait to meet film personalities such as Evanna Lynch who plays Luna Lovegood or the teams behind popular fan-based entertainments some of which are really involved and beautifully produced endeavors!
And, of course, there were a number of more academic pursuits for nerds like yours truly. One of the highlights Friday was undoubtedly the big Pottermore session. The main stage events were held in the vast ballroom, beautifully decorated to look like the great hall including a blue sky projected onto the ceiling with moving clouds.
Deeley, who was upbeat, fun, and quite a hit with the crowd, revealed that the Pottermore experience idea began about 2 years ago which is, as far as I can tell, about the time Rowling stopped adding much to her regular site. He also joked about the technical traffic jams that caused some of us to wait days for Pottermore to respond to us and about theories on what Pottermore was including that it was another country or planet to which all fans were being relocated. He showed many images from the new site, including one that showed the process of creating images that Rowling said were just right for her vision.
These images will also allow visitors to click on and learn more about the Potterverse. Sections will apparently be launched on a schedule, so that there will be something new to look forward to for some time to come. The issues of control were actually treated with gentle humor by Deeley, alleviating some of my previous observations that Pottermore may lose its whimsy in efforts to keep everything in a tight grip the old Weasley twins versus Umbridge dichotomy.
Saturday was my day to be less of an audience member and to do more heavy lifting. My husband Michael and I had the 9 am presentation slot for our program eek! Thanks to everyone who joined us! Saturday was also the day for our intrepid Headmaster, John Granger, to give his presentations, both of which drew huge and very interested! The first presentation covered the fascinating Ring Composition theories on which our headmaster has so carefully worked.
There were plenty of ohhs and ahhs and WOWS! As you can see from the pictures, John had a great group, and plenty of folks queued up to get one of his books , including the hot-off-the-presses book on Ring Composition. LeakyCon Lit is a unique literary track focusing primarily on Young Adult literature, created and curated by some of the top authors in the industry.
It celebrates reading and the power of story, and provides guests with the chance to meet industry leaders, including authors, agents, and editors. Stay tuned as we reveal our Portland and London lineups! In addition, you get fast track to registration, premium reserved seating, a separate line for mainstage events, an extra swag bag full of goodies, and much, much more! Please note, these prices will increase on February 1st, , so don't wait to register! We are always trying to make LeakyCon as affordable as possible.
Our prices are lower than they have ever been, and while we would like to charge the same amount for both Portland and London, London is simply a more expensive city.
LeakyCon is still and will always aim to be a better-priced conference than many conventions, while still providing you with more than you would get anywhere else! We have simplified our Under 18 policy so it is easier to attend LeakyCon at any age! Anyone under 18 is welcome to attend LeakyCon; however, just as Harry had to be 11 to attend Hogwarts, our recommended age is 11 and up. Most of our programming consists of panels, discussion groups, and meet-ups, and we find that it is often not suitable or entertaining for children under If you are attending with your parent or legal guardian, then you will simply need to check in with him or her at the time of registration.
This photocopy must also be signed by the parent or guardian. Upon arrival, all guests will need to check in and register before attending programming. Please bring with you the following: a printed copy of your registration confirmation emailed to you when you registered and, if you are under 18, your signed, notarized parental permission form. We no longer require photo ID to check in; we made this change as a response to demand this year.
