Although I chose not to go to Leaky Con, the HP themed con in Florida, I chose to remain in NY with my best friends of all, The Group That Shall Not Be Named. Together we had our own four-day wizard extravaganza! First a full day of wand dueling, reading fave verses from DH, drinking Harry Potter shots, cosplay photos and singing wrock songs all leading to a huge midnight movie party at an IMAX theater. We laughed, we cried, we held each other close, we stayed by the trio's sides as we left Hogwarts for the final time.
Next day a second movie, more cosplay photo shoots and The Upright Citizen's Brigade's performance of Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, and was dragged on stage for being dresses as Harry Potter.
Then a huge Victory Over Voldemort Day party, complete with decorations, food, dancing, wizard rock by Swish & Flick and Diagon Alley and another one of my Potter-themed cakes, butterbeer flavored.
Finally another movie and a lunch were we discussed future Potter activities. This is never going to end!
