We're considering making the conference proceedings (a compilation of the papers presented at the conference) available to non-attendees after the conference - please stay tuned to the Convention Alley website for the latest information. We'll also try to upload photos of the conference to the website.

In terms of more information: The conference is sponsored by the Harry Potter for Grown-Ups Yahoo group and will feature programming sessions by fans from both the academic and non-academic worlds; a keynote address by Harry Potter Lexicon creator Steve Vander Ark; a banquet in honor of Harry's birthday on July 31 including cake and ice cream; a vendor marketplace; a games room; and a screening of the new PoA movie.

The website has lots of information (including the schedule of events for the weekend and a list of the programming sessions) - if there is anything you'd like to know that isn't answered on the website, please feel free to e-mail us at: hpottawa@yahoo.no, or post a note on the website forum or on the HPfGU Convention List.
