Hello, everyone--

While many of you know HPforGrownups is supporting the Las Vegas
conference Lumos this July, we'd like to take this opportunity to
let you all know about another fantastic event we're supporting:

Patronus 2006, July 7 - 9, in the incredible city of Copenhagen,
Denmark:  http://www.patronus.dk/2006/

The event will take place at the University of Copenhagen, and it
*will* be in English; registration is underway, and there are still
some presentation slots available, too.  In addition to the weekend
conference, there will be a course the week before for a more in-
depth examination of certain aspects of the Harry Potter world; the
theme is "Gender and Relationships in Harry Potter," but discussions
will not necessarily be limited to this topic.

Some highlights of the weekend events:

- a showing of Goblet of Fire with a panel and discussion afterwards
- selected Papers, Discussions, Round Tables
- keynote by Steve Vander Ark of the Harry Potter Lexicon
- a fan art competition. Prize: free registration for Patronus
- Creative workshops: writing, art and costume design
- Quidditch
- Filking
- Gala event: feast, fashion show, look-a-like contest and charity
  auction

For details on these and other events, make sure to check out:

Fascinating discussions (check out those papers!), watching Goblet
of Fire with a crowd of fans, Quidditch, Filking, fic readings and
discussions -- this event has it all!  Not to mention the attractions
of the gorgeous and historic city of Copenhagen, so much to see and
do!  A "must" event for Potter fans, however deeply your obsession
runs.

Hope to see you there!
