Seven “Potter” Convention Panels You Don’t Want to Miss
Conventions are magical times that give us the opportunity to be our true selves, without judgement or fear, with like-minded people who share similar interests. Harry Potter conventions are no different in this sense! Whether you’re a Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin, we can all agree on one thing: Harry Potter has an extremely special place in our hearts. If you want to experience or learn more about the fandom, there’s no place better than at a convention—friends, merchandise, events, and panels galore! Don’t worry if this all seems daunting because we’ve created a list of the top seven panels from Leviosa – a convention that you CANNOT MISS – you must absolutely check out!
1. “Harry Potter and the Quest for Family: Heteronormativity and Homonormativity in Canon and Fanon”
Attending a panel like this is a great way to gain insight on themes in Harry Potter that can be relevant to our constantly evolving understanding of societal structures and norms.
2. “Potterlocked Pajama Party”
What better way to spend an evening than lounging around with friends in your pajamas while reading your favorite book? Don’t get too caught up in canon debates, though!
3. “Harry Potter Christmas Ornament Workshop”
We love everything DIY at MuggleNet, and our DIY section sure does show it! This is high up on our list of to-do panels because it will give us something sentimental to cherish for years to come.
4. “Harry Potter & the Banned Books”
This panel will shed some light on a different perspective that we don’t often think about. Who could seriously hate Harry Potter? Find out what to do if your favorite book is being ridiculed by attending!
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to tango, here is your chance! In this unique panel, Lucius Malfoy teaches the art of dance. It sure seems like it will be a lively and entertaining time!
6. “Make Your Own Paper Wand!”
Oops, another DIY! If the ornament making seemed a little too advanced, this is advertised as a very fun and easy workshop for everyone. Plus, afterward you can say you have a one-of-a-kind, personalized wand!
7. “MuggleNet GNOMEs Pub-Style Trivia”
You’ve heard of the OWLs and the NEWTs, but have you heard of the GNOMEs? Gruelingly Nauseating and Onerous MuggleNet Exercises are the hardest exams that you will ever sit. Think you have what it takes? Well, there’s only one way to find out: COME!
We sure don’t plan on skipping any of these panels, so we hope to see you at Leviosa!
