NerdCon: Stories Roundup
October 9-10, 2015, thousands of nerds descended upon Minneapolis, Minnesota, for the first NerdCon. Read the roundup of the event that brought people together to celebrate storytelling in all forms through panels, performances, games, music, and community.
Book Launch Report: “Carry On” by Rainbow Rowell!
You may have noticed that around here, we have, well, sort of a thing for wizarding school and magic. So you won’t be surprised to learn that we LOVED author Rainbow Rowell’s latest book, Carry On (okay, we love all of her books, but this one is about WIZARDS and WIZARD SCHOOL and ROMANCE). Not only did we love the book, we were also lucky enough to attend the book’s launch in New York City at the Powerhouse Arena!
Robercon 2015: A Convention with Small Town Charm
Superheroes, space warriors, and wizards all came out at Robercon 2015, and MuggleNet was there in the midst of it all. Robercon, an annual sci-fi and fantasy convention in Binghamton, New York, advertises itself as a place to “let your geek flag fly.” Hundreds of people turned out to take Robercon up on that offer. Author Tamora Pierce served as the guest of honor for the weekend, speaking on panels, answering questions from eager fans, and doing book signings. Of course, there were plenty of panels and activities for fans of J.K. Rowling’s magical world to attend as well.
James and Oliver Phelps Appear at Salt Lake Comic Con!
The Phelps twins were at Salt Lake City Comic Con this week, answering fan questions and having a great time. But what’s this about the Weasleys hitting Wayne Manor? And what rumor did they dispel?
Evanna Lynch and Robbie Jarvis Appear at Oz Comic-Con
Evanna Lynch and Robbie Jarvis visit Australia as guests of Oz Comic Con. We went along to wrap up what happened.
Fan Expo Canada 2015: “Potter” Stars Visit Toronto
This past weekend, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, and the Phelps twins attended Fan Expo Canada in Toronto! It was Rupert’s first-ever convention appearance, and MuggleNet was there to cover all the action.
The Cosplay Minute: Wizard World Chicago 2015!
This past weekend, MuggleNet again had the opportunity to attend Wizard World’s Chicago Comic Con at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Just as we have done last year, we scoured the convention floor in search of those fan attendees who were dressed as characters from Harry Potter’s world. See all of their fabulous costumes here!
