Questions Felton will attempt to answer: What separates a fan from a super fan? What makes people go from passionate to obsessive — and why is that a good thing and not a bad thing? Why does the rest of the world attach a stigma to con-goers?

“The whole thing is based around ‘super fans’ and what makes them such a great part of society,” Felton said. “I’ve been lucky enough to have been going to conventions now since I was 14 years old, and I didn’t really know what to make of them at first. I found them a little strange, and I didn’t know quite how to react.”

“I think a lot of people think that it’s OK to be crazy passionate about a football team or a sports team of any kind, but for some reason when they hear that middle-aged men are obsessed with ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Harry Potter,’ that (is perceived) as a weird thing,” he said.

“I want to change the perception of that and show what an amazing, positive world it is and how it completely changes peoples’ lives and brings a lot of happiness to a lot of people. I think people forget sometimes that TV and film and all these things that people are passionate about are more than just pastimes. They give a lot of people a real reason to look forward to every day.”

“That should be a world that people want to be part of. ... Part of (the resistance is others) don’t understand and they have never had an insight to be that passionate about something. I know my attitude towards it was I didn’t really understand it at first and then, after a couple of cons, I saw, wow, if I was half as passionate as some of these guys are about shows that haven’t aired for 10 years, I would be having a very happy time.”
