A Celebration of Harry Potter was this weekend and fans of the series were overjoyed to be a part of the magic! This what all happened at the celebration.
Last year, A Celebration of Harry Potter was filled with news and sneak peaks of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This year, the news portion lacked a little. We were told that we would be getting Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway eventually. That is great but we already knew that.
The talent was pretty amazing this year though! The celebration had Tom Felton, Jason Isaacs, Matthew Lewis, and Warwick Davis. While the Q&As were fun, they were a lot of the same questions repeated. So for those of us watching at home, it was just the same thing over and over again.
But really, that isn’t what this weekend is about. A Celebration of Harry Potter is more about the fans and the community they build with one another over everything else. For fans of the series, Hogwarts is home. We love it and it provides us with a story that truly helps save lives.
That was an overall theme of the weekend. The cast was continually surprised by how much these stories can change people. Matthew told a lovely story of a girl who had his autograph tattooed on her arm and explained that she was going to kill herself but the character of Neville saved her. It was very touching and proved the power that Harry Potter has with its fans.
