Accio 2008 registration now open
You can now register for the Harry Potter conference, Accio 2008. The event will take place from July 25-27th in Magdalen College, Oxford, England. According to its website, "Accio 2008 seeks to enhance the appreciation of J.K. Rowling’s novels as works of literature in her home country. Paper presentations, roundtables, moderated panels, debates and workshops will evoke a lively, interesting and thoughtful discussion on the changes the Harry Potter novels have already made to our world, and on the potential for the novels to have a lasting influence."

wow, thats only 100000000000000000 miles away. grrrreat. maybe there will be something in 2010 when i graduate then i can go for my graduation present. that would be awesome.
That is sooo nice!!! I wish I lived in England so I could participate!!!!
they need to have one of these things on the east coast of the US! :(
Ooo! Is there any age limit? I know some conventions have had age limits, because if you're under 17 you can't understand it or whatever. Or am I crazy and there weren't any age limits?
hmmmm.... ill have to check that out. top 20?
Grrr... it live in London so I probally could make it but... My mum said no as I am the only harry potter fan in the family they wouldn't like getting dragged along to it. :( ahhhh well

It's very expensive...maybe if I save up...I wish you could just go for the confrence instead of paying for rooms will be amazing if I can go
let down! I could never go all the way to England :[[ I thought it was gonna be in Texas this time!
*sigh* even when they're in the united states I can't go because they're always so far away....I hate Michigan
Oxford!!! How perfect! Hermione's accent is pupose tp be Oxford, and the Oxford robes are (I understand) part of the inspirtation for the Hogwarts robesm, and the Oxford librarry was used in GoF....but I live in Oregon....I always wanted to go to Oxford....*goes gets a newspaper delivery job to get money to go.*
Cool! I would never be able to go (afraid of flying), but great for people who can! Has anybody been to these sorts of things - how do they go? ----- Hi cheesecakes! Baby post!

they did have one in Pennsylvania last summer..... it's time for the West coast to get one!!!!!!!! w/e happened to the San Jose one?! I'd so be able to go. And wasnt there sposed to be one in Dallas in 2008?! there's a teeny chance i could go to that one :/ It'd be insanely cool to go to one in Oxford, but it's too far :(
Sounds cool! Too bad I'm in America... :/

There's more then one a year. There IS one in Texas in summer 2008 (i'm pretty sure registration is already open) and in 2009 there's going to be one in San Jose (the same people as the Texas one). So yeah...

I cant goooo!! :(:((:(::(:(:(:(:(
i wish i could go!!!! even though i might be in UK during that time, i think!!! =]
Just to answer a couple of the questions that have been raised - delegates need to be 18 years of age or older at the time of the Accio 2008 conference to attend. There is a non-residential rate that enables delegates who do not need accommodation to attend the conference without needing to pay for a room. Phyllis Morris, Accio 2008 Co-Chair
