First?
This sounds awesome, even though I know I wouldnt be able to go... I thought JK was no longer a patron of MS Scotland..?

Sorry to add a downer to this, but I have a few problems with it.
So I live in the UK, but dont you think its a bit short notice? LeakyCon took about 2 years to plan, and youre announcing it two months before the event?
I had a look at the website, and I see no passion in the organization at all. The main (and only, as I see it) attraction is meeting "4 SUPPORTING cast members", who will probably be along the lines of Dean, Seamus and the Patil twins. Wheres the programming? Wrock concerts, discussion panels, key-note speakers?
Im honestly sorry, but I do not see any reason for me to attend this convention. It seems like its just a company-run cast meeting other than an incredible event for Harry Potter enthusiasts to have an incredible time at. Sorry guys :(

Talk about being unappreciative.

I think this is a great idea but... didnt JK Rowling have a reason to stop being a patron of that MS society? I thought she didnt agree with some things they were doing. So since she stopped supporting it, I would assume she found something wrong with where her money was going. Just a thought. The idea of donating is great though. :)

I cant go, but it sounds cool. I think I was more excited to see that Jamie posted this than to see the actual post, lol. To those who can go, have fun!

Announcing an event ONE MONTH before it is scheduled to take place is an awful idea. Especially when theres no actual details on the website about any of the programming, parties, or the supposed guests that will attend. Good luck with that.

Musical muggle, I see your point but Ive gone to Massive Events cons before and they are absolutely AMAZING. Its run by a core group who really really care about their fans and do everything they can to make sure every last little detail is perfect. Im not sure if its compared to American cons youve drawn your conclusions - Ive never been because of the expense but they seem a lot more large-scale - but the con I went to at the Park Inn (a Torchwood one) was so small and personal, I got hugs and chats off all the guests I wanted to just at the parties or in the corridors, because it was such a lovely con. You get to know everyone there which is awesome, the parties are LEGENDARY and I didnt stop laughing all weekend - and I went on my own. And this wasnt at the expense of guests either, they had most of the main cast of Torchwood there including some really big names. My family have done Twilight with Showmasters and loved it, Im going again in October with a friend!
Basically, dont doubt the company because they will make it the best weekend of your life!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention - for all the reasons I mentioned above, I am absolutely devastated Im in Belgium this August. :( Ive always wanted to do a HP con and for some reason (WHY?! HP IS BRITISH!!) they are always always always in America somewhere.

In my opinion, Showmasters do AMAZING conventions, just like Spectrum has said. I have been to a few (Eternal Twilight was awesome and cant wait for ET2) and has arranged to do another 3 this year.
What people may not realise is that at this convention, you get 4 free autographs from "supporting" cast, but there will be at least 4 "regular" cast where you buy their autos seperately (usually
