If there was only one HP panel...

[Carolyn Kayta Barrows]

If there was only one Harry Potter discussion panel at a fantasy/science 
fiction convention, what should that panel be about?  Should it be about 
the costuming, or on some other specific topic, or speculation about what 
will be in books 6 and/or 7, or just a casual get together where general 
topics are discussed?

October 7-9, 1005, is SiliCon, a f/sf convention in the San Francisco Bay 
Area.  Because it is small-ish there would probably only be room for one 
Harry Potter panel on their schedule.  Likewise, they don't have any budget 
for importing people related to the books or films (so J.K.Rowling and 
Daniel Radcliffe, etc., are right out).  SiliCon might have a Harry Potter 
panel if (a) they knew what one panel would most benefit Harry Potter fans 
(=see paragraph above), and (b) it was felt that there would be a lot of 
support for such a panel (=loads of Harry Potter fans attending the 
convention and attending that panel).

So what would be the best Harry Potter discussion panel subject, and the 
most make you want to be there?  What was the best Harry Potter discussion 
panel you've ever been to?
