On November 10-12, James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA, will host an academic conference on Harry Potter. The conference, entitled “Replacing Wands with Quills,” will feature presentations from a variety of disciplines. The keynote speaker will be our very own John Granger! I’ll be presenting on Friday, as will our Louise Freeman. If you are anywhere in the neighborhood, we hope you will join us!
