Twitter Roundup: #HPCelebration Special

by Claire Furner · January 26, 2014

So after LeakyCons, MISTI-Cons and many more fan-led conventions, WB finally got the message and hosted a spectacular expo all of its own. A Celebration of Harry Potter was a bustling affair, taking place at the Universal Orlando Resort and hosting activities to please both book and film fans alike.
