Calling all New Zealand Harry Potter fans, Wellygeddon is back and one of the Weasley siblings has been confirmed.
Harry Potter fans in New Zealand will get the chance to see a special Weasley sibling. Armageddon Wellington, affectionately known as Wellygeddon, has confirmed Bonnie Wright will be in attendance. On top of that, photo tokens for her are already available. Make sure you have your Gryffindor scarves at the ready for this special treat.
Armageddon will take place over Easter weekend, Mar. 30-Apr. 1. Wright will be available all weekend, with photo ops and autographs available on all three days. She will also take part in two panels, currently confirmed for the Friday and the Sunday, although days and times are subject to change.

It’s not just a Harry Potter star heading to Wellygeddon
Wright is currently the only Harry Potter star confirmed. More names are still to be announced, with more details to follow as it gets closer to the Con.
Actors from other shows and movies will also be there. The Avengers’ Jeremy Renner, Doctor Who’s Catherine Tate and iZombie’s Rahul Kohli are all set to appear throughout the weekend.
Previous years have been uncomfortable for Con-goers, but the organizers have learned from their mistakes. Many of the internal doors will be closed to ensure better air conditioning in each of the rooms, while the alley blockers will be removed for better traffic flow through the floors.
