Saturday:

10:00am

1501 – Harry Potter: – We all knew some parts of the books wouldn't make the movies.  Have the first 5 (6 if you've been to HBP this week!) movies held your interest?  Let's talk about what we like, hate and feel totally 'eh' about. - Melzedie

How fandom interprets what we see on screen. - Waldo

 

1:00pm
