Oh no... think I'm either just back from holiday then or am coming back... ..mind you, I AM in charge of booking the holiday... and we'll probably fly from London... (Well, don't want to miss it - been to everyone since 7.2 now )

For bigger cons Showmasters puts all tickets into groups for getting autographs, photos, seating etc which is based on ticket type and number so you and your friend won't be together. You can either leave it like that (and neither of you should be just waiting around: you'll be going around getting autos from different guests at different times) or sometimes Showmasters will let you drop down groups so you could be in the same group as your friend. I don't know how this works for talk seating though. I wouldn't worry about either of you two feeling lonely. I've. Eek to a couple of cons on my own or just knowing someone with a gold ticket and I've always made really good friends in the queues Hope that helps!

Well watching Sanctuary has been on my to-do list for several years and this has just given me the boost I need to finally watch it. Just whizzed through seasons 1&2 (s3 to be ordered very soon) and can I just say how utterly excited I am retrospectively at this guest announcement??? CANNOT WAIT!!!! Especially looking forward to a talk with the two of them

Hello!!! Not really cosplayed before (not entirely sure being one half of a puddle jumper for a fancy dress competiton counts!) so this'll be my first time. Going to be just me on Sat but on Sunday I will be Rapunzel from Tangled. Taken me blooming ages so I wanted to finish before I posted anything :)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! *just exploded with utter happiness* I am SO excited!!!!!!!

Darn. I was going to save me some money and skip out on this con.... Never mind! Great HP guest

Name: Hannah Ticket type bought: Silver 73 Are you at C75? You betcha I am!!! What Chevrons have you attended in the past? All of them since 7.2, though this is my first time being anything but standard

Those hoodies are fantastic Tallie!! I am so going, even if it's less of a reunion now and more like the actual con ='( Still completely gutted

Lol. I was Gold at Muggle Mayem 1 (only time I've been gold) and there were about 6 of us at the reception and 3 guests so we got a LOT of time. I imagine the ratios not going to be quite that small this time but any one with a Gold will still probably get a good natter. ^^

I think we should do that thing we were planning. Slighy cryptic, lol. I presume were going to be in for a surprise then. And Lisa drawing a dark Mark and wearing black was all I've come up with so far too!

Excellent!!! Love them ^^. Thank yooouu!!!

Ooh, yay - I thought we wouldn't know that until closer to the time, thank you! Will be booking that off work on Friday! Well last time my friends and I got there at maybe about 8? Possibly even 9 and we still got a fairly good spot. Given my druthers I'd have been there earlier but like I said, we still got a good spot. This time I'd like to get there earlier, though. Still debating myself on the camping issue! I think they set it out differently for each permiere but I've been there for HBP myself. In that we ended up in the main square which was all gated off from the rest. People man the gates all day so stop people getting in when it's too full (even though it was still quite spacious - they could have fitted more people in) but they let you out thankfully for food. I don't know how soon that was set up, though. I guess it was there in time for the overnight campers. My only advice as to where to stand once inside? Don't stand by a streetlamp! I ended up by one and you'll find all the stars skirt round them so you miss out on autographs and your pictures always have an omnipresent pole!

I loved how it was gorgeous and sunny until the first stars arrived and then BOOM!!! Never seen so much rain in my life! I didn't get many autographs because the thing I wanted to sign I also didn't want to get wet! But at the very end I got JK Rowling so that made up for the lack of everyone else! ^^. Where you in the main square bit?

Hoodies? Oh how cool!!! My friend and I are making ponchos so you can bet this is the one HP premiere it doesn't rain! But that gets our little section up to 5/6 now? Partaaay!

It's gonna be wet. Very wet! It was a good experience overall. Mainly a lot of sitting around but you can quite easily start chatting to anyone either side of you cause you're all Potter fans. It was a bit of a squeeze once the actors arrived but I think that was the section we were in - a bit further down there were a quite a few less people and once I moved down there I managed to get the BIG autograph whereas I'd hardly hot any where I was before ^^ I cried most heavily after that! (hey, I was teed!) Yeah... I can't really see what I'm typing after a while on the iPod so apologies for the mistakes - it's meant to be got not hot and then tired not teed (whatever the hell THAT is!)
