HP Education Fanon, Inc. (HPEF) is a U.S. based educational non-profit 501(c)(3) 
organization founded in 2002 that is committed to producing academic symposia on the 
Harry Potter books and cultural phenomenon. We strive to distinguish our conferences by 
the premiere quality of the programming we offer, particularly the caliber of our featured 
speakers and guests. Our volunteer planners aim to bring scholars and fans professional-
quality, creative, premium experiences for affordable prices. HPEF also promotes the 
benefits of reading for both children and adults by offering Library Science and Education 
tracks in our conference programs. We also support our host communities by donating a 
portion of our auction proceeds to a local charity.  

Portus is the fifth HPEF event, and it will take place July 10-13 at the luxurious Hilton 
Anatole in Dallas, Texas.  Registration is currently $220, which includes four days of both 
formal and informal programming, participation in Quidditch, and daily Wizard Rock 
performances.  Hotel rooms at the Anatole are $155/night plus taxes for up to four 
attendees.  We're also proud to present a Portus exclusive: the Portus Podcast Palooza, 
which includes live appearances by MuggleCast, SnapeCast, AlleyCast, and a whole lot 
more!
