| | |  Snape on trial at Accio 2005
Accio 2005, the first UK Potter conference of its kind will take place at Reading University from July the 29th to the 31st. The Telegraph has run a piece on the event, highlighting some of the main events. Quote:
They will enjoy an exposition of the "social problems of the wizarding community", an investigation into "narratives of psychosis and prophecy and their relationship to the Harry Potter books". There will also be a presentation on "Is Harry Potter still a nice Jewish boy? A Jewish Perspective."
Quote:
They will stage a mock trial of Snape, the potions master at Hogwarts' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In spite of the Harry Potter books being aimed mainly at children, under-18s are banned from the conference because of its academic content and - more crucially - because there will be a bar.
The spokesman for the event, Serena Culfeather said the following, "The appeal of the Harry Potter books is so wide-ranging that we felt a conference exploring the text was long overdue."
For more information about the event & tickets please go here.

I'd love to go. I do turn 18 this year so theoretically, I could but intellectually, I don't think I'd be up to it. It's great to acknowledge though that alot of HP fans have grown up and are now adults - it has been 8 years since it started.
For me, it's too expensive.

That is sooo cool. If I lived in the U.K. I would be there with out a doubt, especially if there is a bar . I hope the U.S. starts having HP conventions. why should the trekies have all the fun!?

There's no reason why you can't go if you're not British. You could fly over if you've got the cash.
