PotterCon

Listen up, Muggles: It's Potter time.

Join your fellow Pottheads on Saturday, August 1st for PotterCon, the official annual NYC day-drinking and mingling destination for those who enjoy dressing as British schoolchildren as they slur their spells and wave their wands. There will be trivia (hosted by last year’s winners), a costume contest, a live sorting ceremony (hosted by Jo Firestone), specialty cocktails and Hogwarts swag galore—not to mention unlimited hours of theorizing, spell casting and terrible British accents.

So dig your dusty old robes out of storage, accio your friends and come throw back some Butterbeers with other Hogwarts alums, muggles, squibs and magical creatures alike. The day promises to be 4,224 pages worth of fun… Until the very end.

**A portion of all PotterCon proceeds will benefit the Harry Potter Alliance. To find out more about this nonprofit organization or to make a direct donation, please visit their website.
