Accio 2008

by Wendy on April 3rd, 2008

If you’ve been looking for a great Harry Potter conference to go to, you might want to try Accio 2008, held in July at Magdalen College, Oxford, England. Here’s more information:

Accio 2008 seeks to enhance the appreciation of J.K. Rowling’s novels as works of literature in her home country. Paper presentations, roundtables, moderated panels, debates and workshops will evoke a lively, interesting and thoughtful discussion on the changes the Harry Potter novels have already made to our world, and on the potential for the novels to have a lasting influence.

The conference will feature guest speakers, formal programming sessions and informal opportunities for delegates to get to know one another and the city of Oxford. A banquet will be held in Magdalen College’s magnificent Dining Hall on the evening of Saturday 26 July.

Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? You can find out more about Accio 2008 here.
