I have a good one of you in prisoner sirius, it's going onto Facebook right...NOW, so help yourself! YEY TEAM SPECIAL FRANK...!

....but now I don't wanna go home...

IT'S REALLY FUN!!!!!!!!!! See you later hopefully!!!!

hehe I made a "Weasley is our king" badge!! This makes me happier than any other part of my costumes!!!

HAHA, I do too!

Ah man, I totally forgot, i'm gonna have to pull a sicky with my job this weekend. I forgot to book a holiday XD!

Agreed. Oh I am RESPECTIN'!!!!

YEY I'm gonna meet voldemort!!! Gosh that kid was so evil in the movie!!! GREAT actor!

Oooh I can't wait to meet everyone!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!! I'm thinking of going o bed at like 5, so that tomorrow will be here quicker!!

Yey!! Don't worry, I was 5'2" until a few months ago, which was made worse by the fact that my sister is 6'1". YEY for growth spurts!! You'll spot me- I'll be the one in the gryffindor uniform jumping up and down with excitment!!

Yeah, I'm getting so excited for tomorrow I have wanted to go to a HP con for ages, but I could never afford to go to the US ones, and there were never any decent ones here, but now there is and I'm so stoked!!! I have all my costumes sorted and my bags packed already and I'm ready to go!!! Everyone else getting excited?

YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooh I'm so excited as well!! Well we're getting there by train, so we'll be there by 2, so we'll have to hang around until check in at 3 I suppose!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I LOVE THIS BAND!!!! :smile: HAPPY!!!! (got to go send excited texts to all my friends XD!)

Well if you actually read the threads pinned at the top of the forum before having a rant, then you may see that it's quite evident they're making a humongous effort to bring us a range of activities to fill up the weekend that most other people seem to be 1) excited about and 2) appreciative of. Maybe that doesn't make up for "meeting famous people" for some, but surprisingly enough other fans come because they actually like the fandom as well. Meeting people who are just as enthusiastic about it and all that. Perhaps even having fun? A PPP workshop for example seems pretty fun (and damn inventive too - obviously not a result of poor effort) to me. Not "kinda pointless" (in which case why bother going?). I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a complaint about Showmasters. But they run events for fans. It's their job. We can't complain if there are lots of events we want to go to. Though I guess that's a problem in itself. The Twilight mentality, and the fact that there are so many more people around who are part of it. It seems to be more of a "we all like these books and movies with - oooohh - pretty actors we just /have/ to meet" thing than the HP fandom that seems in my opinion to be more community-centered. Notice that most previous huge HP conventions (mainly USA I suppose) are more about meeting up and being rabid geeks /together/ whilst not being laughed at for running around in cloaks...than hero worship, like you see at Twicon etc. (Not that I will ever complain about meeting Kellan Lutz xD) So the fact that we have the possibility of guests at all could even be seen as a huge bonus! Well Said- I agree with everything you said. As I have already stated on another thread, I am not in this for the guests and I am looking forward to this con as much as when I first read about it! And that's all I have to say on the matter
