This panel has expanded from years past to cover the entire Wizarding World as everyone gets ready for Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them! What can we expect from this first JKR-penned film, and what can we expect from this fantastic fandom in 2016 and beyond? The panelists will talk about the Harry Potter books, of course, and how the Potterverse has inspired fanfic and fanart, musicals and films, cooking and crafts, theme parks, wrock concerts, cosplay and tattoos, social justice projects and, of course, J.K. Rowling's amazing tweets. Magical panelists include Adrienne Alwag-Aipia (Dumbledore's Army LA), Alex Benepe (US Quidditch), Jackson Bird (HP Alliance), Alexa DeGennaro (Leviosacon), Madhuri Shekar (In Love and Warcraft), Rachael Vaughn (Snapecast), Justin Zagari (director, The Greater Good and Severus Snape & the Marauders), and Sunny Wliiams (Harvey Putter & the Ridiculous Premise), moderated by Heidi Tandy (FictionAlley).
