I have been part of this festival since it debuted (as Queen City Potter Party) in 2016. What was originally hoped to be a few hundred fans gathered to celebrate the publication of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child wound up attracting a several thousand visitors and shutting down the the streets of Staunton VA for the day.
This year, with the COVID situation, the festival has gone online. This is sad news for us locals who have enjoyed the in-person fellowship for that past four years, but good news for those of you who can’t routinely travel to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. 
Please check out the offerings on Facebook: In particular, Hogpro readers are invited to attend my lectures on Muggle Scientists and Magical Names and Hermione, Katniss and Tris: Which two are most alike? And stay tuned here, because I am still hoping for a Cormoran Strike talk from our Headmaster.
I’m sorry that it wasn’t able to be an in person event this year, but happy that I can see what it’s about online. Looking forward to your talks!
