LeakyCon 2014, Part 1

August 15th, 2014 by Kidsmomo

A couple weeks ago, we boarded the Hogwarts Express and hung out with a bunch of wizards — drank butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks, shopped at Diagon Alley, danced the night away at a ball, speculated about Dumbledore’s private life, and debated the moral fiber (or lack thereof) of Snape.

In other words, we went to LeakyCon 2014!

You may recall that three years ago, we went to LeakyCon 2011. Well, since then, the annual Harry Potter fan convention has grown to be a totally massive geekathon, with almost 5000 attendees over five days.

And today you can meet some of the most dedicated of those 5000 fans: the ones who not only traveled to Orlando, FL to attend LeakyCon, but also put tons of effort into perfecting their costumes. (And you know it was a lot of work without access to Madame Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions!)

Check ’em out in our gallery below, and then tune in tomorrow and Sunday for even more LeakyCon 2014 coverage!
