In celebration of the 5 year anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, hpboy13 is back with his latest article: “Fandom Five Years Later.” In it, he discusses what the Harry Potter fandom has been up to since the conclusion of the series, how we as fans have evolved, and what the future may hold for us, with the publication of J.K. Rowling’s adult novel.

The highly anticipated 2012 London Olympics kick off this Friday with the traditional opening ceremony. However, if recent rumors are true, this ceremony will be anything but traditional, instead featuring the evil man himself – Lord Voldemort – facing off against a rather unlikely foe… Mary Poppins!
The end of July brings many things; Daniel Radcliffe turns 23, Harry and Neville celebrate their 32nd birthdays, J.K. Rowling her 47th, and sadly, the end of our Wizarding World heroes cake decorating contest! Brought to you in part by Dinah Bucholz, author of the “The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook”, this contest promises to be our “sweetest” yet!
The senseless tragedy has all of us reeling and in shock. Not that it should matter where the violence happened, but as fans, a midnight release is a place of celebration and safety. That such a thing was taken down adds to the magnitude of our emotional response.
As we mourn together, one of the HPA vloggers, Lauren Bird <a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CxW3GM5FrXY" target="_blank"articulates so much of what we are feeling as human beings and in particular as fans.
Today marks the five-year anniversary of the release of Deathly Hallows. It’s hard to imagine that so much time has passed since the final book dropped. Even though the final book and movie have already been released, over these years, Harry Potter has not come anywhere close to being “over.” From Pottermore, to real-life Quidditch, to conventions, there is plenty to keep the Potter fandom alive. For this reason, we choose to celebrate this five-year anniversary! Harry Potter lives!
We recently reported about an event on MuggleNet Interactive allowing you to record a video explaining how the Potter series has been kept alive for you these past five years. If you haven’t yet, you should check it out!
Today, a special announcement was disclosed regarding the upcoming supercon LeakyCon 2012, which is taking place in Chicago, IL from August 9th to 12th. One year ago today Team StarKid presented A Very StarKid Event at LeakyCon 2011. To say it was a highlight for a lot of our conference-goers is like saying that Hufflepuffs are just okay at finding things. At this LeakyCon, they are determined to outdo themselves. We are thrilled to tell you that Team StarKid will present another staged reading!

Did Professor Severus Snape murder Headmaster Albus Dumbledore or was it assisted suicide? What about the torture of Hermione Granger and murder of Sirius Black by Bellatrix Lestrange? Was Lord Voldemort found guilty of the murder of Lily Potter?
p>YouTube user Weasley Sweaters would “knit you one if she knew how to knit” but guess what – she could really just sing you a song instead! Performing her own Potter rewrite of One Direction’s new hit, “What Makes You Beautiful,” Kate hits all the right notes while playing the song acoustically.
