Announcing Sectus 2009 at Bodelwyddan Castle

[Elanor Isolda]

Following on the success of Sectus 2007 in London, we are pleased to present
Sectus 2009, a four-day Harry Potter convention for adults. Set in a
magnificent Grade II listed castle in Britain, this will be a unique event,
combining a formal conference with a celebration of one of the best-loved
fantasy series of all time.

Sectus 2009 will take place at Bodelwyddan Castle from June 26-29, 2009.
Bodelwyddan Castle is a fully-equipped, restored castle with purpose-built
rooms that feature all the modern amenities in an historic setting. In
addition to having several magnificent period drawing and meeting rooms,
Bodelwyddan Castle is home to the National Portrait Gallery's Victorian
collection. Sectus 2009 will host a variety of on-site informal programming,
including archery, scavenger hunts and evening entertainment, taking full
advantage of Bodelwyddan Castle's spacious grounds and multiple on-site bars
and meeting rooms.

Sectus 2009 will feature the same variety of programming that made the first
event so popular - a mix of academic presentations and informal discussions
of canon and fandom-related topics. At Sectus we're open to any kind of
programming our attendees are interested in covering, whether it be
fanfiction, shipping, character development or the series' real world
applications. Let us know what you'd like to see at Sectus 2009 when you
register - we want the programming to reflect what our attendees are
interested in!

Sectus is an unofficial Harry Potter convention that is entirely
not-for-profit. After a very successful partnership with Book Aid
International, all proceeds of Sectus 2009 will go towards SOS Children's
Villages UK, a branch of the world's largest orphans' charity, which helps
homeless children, in particular those with HIV/AIDS.

Space at Sectus 2009 is limited, so register now to guarantee yourself a
spot! As a special offer, those who book before the New Year will be
appropriated the best rooms at the venue. Registration for Sectus is subject
to terms and conditions which are available on our website.

The cost starts at £290, which includes registration and room and board for
three nights, breakfast and evening meal for each day inclusive. Rates rise
to £300 on November 1st, 2008 and then to £310 on February 1st, 2009. Room
upgrades are available – see our website for details.

We hope to see you there!
