The special guest line up for this Irish Harry Potter festival is LIT
Summer is a season of festivals, and while the likes of EP and Longitude might spring to mind first, there is an all together different kind of gathering happening at the end of August.
Muggles, look away, because the world of witchcraft and wizardry is descending on Dublin on August 31.
Leaky Con is on its way, and while it already has an amazing Harry Potter line up, another star has been added to the astrological fray.
Dan Fogler, who stars as Jacob Kowalski in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film series, has joined the special guest lineup.
He will be discussing his role in the films at the conference.
The LeakyCon lineup already includes Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Katie Leung (Cho Chang), Afshan Azad (Padma Patil), Charlotte Skeoch (Hannah Abbott), Louis Cordice (Blaise Zabini), and Hero Fiennes-Tiffin (Young Tom Riddle).
The Potter Puppet Pals will also be in attendance, as will members of StarKid Productions, MinaLima (Visual Designers), Pierre Bohanna (Head Prop Maker), Jim Cornish (Storyboarder), PotterCast, and a full line-up of Wizard Rock performances. LeakyLit special guests include YA authors Juno Dawson (Margot and Me, All of the Above), Catherine Johnson (The Curious Tale of the Lady Caraboo, Blade and Bone), Melinda Salisbury (The Sin Eater’s Daughter series), and Elizabeth Wein (Code Name Verity, Rose Under Fire).
Additional special guests will be announced at a later date.
LeakyCon will host in-depth discussions, special guest interviews, live tapings of fan-favourite podcasts, Wizard Rock concerts, and much more.
The gathering will be held August 31 through September 3, 2017 at the Dublin Citywest Hotel in Dublin.
We'd get those Quiddich robes dry cleaned ASAP.
