Harry Potter and the world of Comic Con: Why is it not more popular?

Most Harry Potter fans go to Comic Con knowing that there won’t be much Potter merch. But why is that just a thing we have to accept?

Comic Con has been big for quite some time but I feel like Harry Potter always kind of had its own stuff and wasn’t that big there. But still, it is sad that there isn’t much at any of the cons now. While I’m preparing to go to New York Comic Con this weekend, I can’t help but wish that there would be more Potter stuff there.

Unfortunately, there is not Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie coming out this year so there really isn’t a place for it. Last year, they had the costumes and a little set up but it still wasn’t that much. Which, again, is upsetting. I love all things Harry Potter and to not have anything is a bit upsetting.

Now that’s not to say that last year was completely barren of all things Potter. As I said, there was a set up for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and there were things for the merchandise around the series. But nothing that truly brought the magic of Harry Potter to life in my eyes.

So is this year any better? I’m not sure yet, I’m going Saturday to check it out. But chances are slim. If there wasn’t that much for it when a movie from the series was coming out, why would there be more now that there wasn’t a movie in sight for another year? We’ll have to wait and see what actually happens but honestly? I hope I’m wrong.
