IT's happening at the place so close to home, but yet I cannot attend??
Honestly, they should invite the children as their guests of honor or something. After all if its HP convention, we kids play the most important role in existence of HP.

But them many 17/18/19 year olds are the original fans who read PS when it first came out when they were in the target age group. Nearly everything to do with HP is aimed at kids, so it's only fair to have something for the fans who have matured since first reading the books.

Cool! They never have anything like this in Toronto. And I agree it should be for the kids, if not entirely, than as well. What are adults going to do?! 
Now, if only they had something like this in Canada for LOTR!!!
