Harry Potter: Wizards Unite first-ever fan festival highlights, achievements, more Story by: Katie Bellman Photos/Video by: Anika Kokatay Thousands of Harry Potter and Wizarding World fans convened at the White River State Park in Indianapolis over the holiday weekend to participate in the first-ever Harry Potter: Wizards Unite fan festival, which ran from August 31-September 1. Fans dashed across all parts of the park to get hold of the first sightings of four dragons featured int he Harry Potter series - the Antipodean Opaleye, Chinese Fireball, Peruvian Vipertooth, and Welsh Green - which they took down, aiding Dragonologist Charlie Weasley. Trivia and games also were part of the fan festival, where fans got the chance to win prizes including shirts, pins, and stickers. SnitchSeeker was on site during Saturday's festivities, walking for many, many kilometers (and unlocking many a portkey) to grab rare and new confoundables, and of course those blasted dragons and their eggs. A few highlights from the festivities can be found below. <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just an idea of what the map looks like af <a href="https://twitter.com/VisitIndy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@VisitIndy</a>’s White River State Park for the <a href="https://twitter.com/HPWizardsUnite?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HPWizardsUnit e</a> fan festival!
