Pimping Fandomy Things!

SpellCast's OotP Episode, OOTP IMAX at Prophecy, HPEF's 2010 Conference in Orlando (Incorporating The World of Harry Potter @ Universal), posting fics & essays on FictionAlley and more!

SpellCast

After some technical issues and most of our staff members running for the hills to get away from Deathly Hallows' spoilers or hibernating over the weekend to read the book, we finally release our special OotP episode!

However, this new episode is totally worth the wait and here's why:

- Greg Foster, president of IMAX, sits down with Gwen to talk about about the 3D conversion process of the last twenty minutes of the Order of the Phoenix movie.

- Josh finally gets his opportunity to chat with composer Nicholas Hooper about the music score of Order of the Phoenix.

- Sidney talks with Duff Goldman, host of Ace of Cakes on the Food Network, about the Hogwarts castle cake he made for the Order of the Phoenix premiere's after-party.

- Finally to wrap everything up, a group of SpellCasters sit down to discuss their thoughts and feelings on the Order of the Phoenix movie.

This podcast is spoiler free, so there's no need to worry if you haven't finished reading Deathly Hallows. For those of you have finished, be sure to check back soon for another special podcast covering Deathly Hallows. Download the episode here.

Prophecy & IMAX

And speaking of IMAX, Prophecy has announced a special screening of Order of the Phoenix in IMAX format; the showing will be introduced by Lorne Orleans, Senior Vice President of Film Production for IMAX Corporation. Registrants can order tickets here this week, or if there's any left, buy them on-site.

Also, since the event is close to capacity, there will be no walk-up registrations for the conference. You need to register this week if you want to go.

HPEF 2010 in Orlando
While millions of readers worldwide are about to read the final chapters of Harry Potter’s epic story, HP Education Fanon, Inc. (HPEF) is looking to his—and our—next adventure.

The end of the Harry Potter series is only the beginning of an infinite number of possibilities for the fandom.

Therefore, HPEF is proud to announce “Infinitus 2010,” a Harry Potter conference to take place July 15-18 2010 in Orlando, Florida – home to the all-new “World of Harry Potter” attraction at Universal Orlando Resort.

Hotel, Registration rates, and additional event information are forthcoming. As always, registrants can expect our high commitment to strong and diverse formal and informal programming on topics from Alchemy to Zoology and every subject in between. The conference agenda will also include at least one event at the “World of Harry Potter” theme park, allowing our attendees to explore and immerse themselves in the Wizarding World as never before.

HPEF is also pleased to endorse a team of organizers with a firm background in our conferences and event philosophy. Infinitus’ Minister of Magic, Kari Phillips, is the Head of Wizard Talent for Prophecy 2007, and is serving as Chair of Informal Programming for Portus 2008 as well. Her department heads include Jennifer Clack, who worked diligently on Informal Programming for Lumos, is part of the amazing Prophecy team, and is also part of the Portus team; Kristin Coleman, Meet-&-Greet veteran from Lumos, Prophecy, and Portus; and experienced Security Chief Aziza Aba Butain. These ladies and many other experienced volunteers, along with talented new blood, will continue our record of high-quality, magical events for scholars and fans.
