As a little boy, Charlie Weasley cultivated a passion for dragons. But that little boy had no way of knowing where that passion would take him in life. These are Charlie's adventures – the ones only hinted at in canon. My story consists of vignettes of Charlie's life, with emphasis on those rare, brief moments when JKR mentioned him in passing, and few other gaps filled in.

Have you made it to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter yet?

It's been just about a year since the grand opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando, and to celebrate Universal's launched a contest on their Facebook page.

Two winners will be chosen each week for four weeks, and all eight will visit Universal Orlando Resort in the fall. To participate, fans just have to share their best memory of their visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in their new Facebook tab, “Share your Story”. If you haven't have had the chance to visit the WWoHP yet, you can post what you are looking forward to the most when you finally get to visit.

Universal will be selecting two winners each week during the next four weeks. Each winner will receive the following: airfare to Orlando for two, hotel accommodations, transportation to/ from hotel and, of course, the opportunity to experience both of our theme parks. The contest is open to US residents only, but as a frequent visitor to the WWoHP, I am sure that all eight winners and their guest will have a magical time!

Speaking of Universal, if you're attending LeakyCon this summer, Ascendio in July of 2012, and/or visiting Universal Orlando on your own or with friends, they've just launched a brand new iPhone/iPad app that includes maps, dining and event information, facts about rides and places at Universal Orlando and a check-in-to-save-money function too (hurrah, more money for wands!). Download it for free from the iTunes store.

Harry Potter Fan Panel Returns to Comic Con

For the fourth year in a row, creative Harry Potter fandomers will lead a discussion at Comic Con. This year, with the panel coming barely a week after the release of the final Harry Potter film and a few weeks after the announcement about what Pottermore actually is, it marks a time of transition for the fans, and for everyone who's grown up with and lived with the Harry Potter books, films and magic for one year, five years, or even a dozen years.
Topics will include continuing involvement in fannish activities online and in person, upcoming events, projects and opportunities for activism, thoughts on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter one year on, fannish creativity on stage, in writing, in art and in vids and fanfilms, and more!
Panelists include (alphabetically):
Melissa Anelli (The-Leaky-Cauldron.org, Harry - A History)
Kathryn Mudgway (International Quidditch Assocation)
Joey Richter ("Ron" in A Very Potter Musical/Sequel; Me & My Dick, Starship)
Andrew Sims (Mugglenet, Hypable.com)
Andrew Slack (TheHPAlliance.org, Imagine Better)
Heidi Tandy (FictionAlley.org, Ascendio2012.org/HPEF) is the moderator.

The panel will take place on Thursday, July 21 at 5 PM in Room: 25ABC; Comic Con is sold out already, about 1500 additional tickets will be available with an hour's notice, Comic Con announced today via Twitter; follow them to learn when that'll happen.
You can RSVP on our Facebook Event Page.

The Owls Are Not What They Seem

In just over ten hours, J.K. Rowling will announce a new project, POTTERMORE. What is it? Nobody knows - or, at least, those who know aren't talking. However, the records of the US Patent & Trademark Office suggest that the site may include games, social networking, educational materials, downloadable audiobooks or ebooks, and merchandise.

You can speculate about Pottermore in our new FictionAlley Park forum, or visit after June 23 and discuss what's actually there.
