Actor Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley in the Harry Potter films) will be attending the Azkatraz
conference in San Francisco this July, hosting a Q&A session and visiting with fans, the nonprofit hosting the event, HPEF, announced today:
Tickets can be purchased by anyone holding a full registration, a Merlin's Circle registration or a single-day registration, and only 125 tickets are available!
Enjoy a chocolate fountain and mounds of other sweets, plus coffee, tea and lemonade, while participating in a Q&A with Chris. After he speaks, he'll visit all the tables as well.
Tickets are $65 through April 1, and go up to $75 through June 30. If tickets are available at the door, they will cost $100 each.
In addition, Mr. Rankin will be participating in many more events at Azkatraz, including autograph and photograph sessions on Saturday and Sunday. More details will be announced in the near future.
Rankin will join other speakers, including Lev Grossman (Time Magazine book critic), Robin Burgener (creator of the 20Q gaming device), Fred von Lohmann (Senior Staff Attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation), the creators of the Dreamwidth social network, and more.
Registration for Azkatraz itself is still open at a basic rate of $145 until April 15. Visit the site for details.

Nice to see him getting some time and attention. He has been one of the most accessible of the cast, and has really reached out. It should be a great session.

That would be something to attend. Too bad it's so far away from where I live.
Any word about Stan aka Viktor Krum being there. I'd be first in line to see him.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

For those who have never gone to a Harry Potter conference or are debating it...
They're AWESOME! Imagine being around people with whom you can chat freely about your infatuation of the boy wizard and his friends. I've been to a majority of them since the first one, Nimbus 2003 in Orlando, Florida, and I can unequivocally state that they are a blast for true fans of the series.
You never know who you're going to meet or what experiences you'll have, but you're guaranteed to come away with lifelong memories. I know I have.

How f----- expensive to have a chat with a person. He's just a guy. I don't hold anything against him, just thinkin I won't pay that much for it.
