Convention and meetup schedule


Our big events are most definitely limited to a couple cons per year, but there are quite a few of us, and so we often have at least one TPP member at many conventions across the U.S. Below is a list of where we have some amount of presence, doing casual meetups and having multifandom fun, or out and out hosting suites and putting on con programming. For all meetups, we typically blast out details on social media, so be sure to follow us on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook.

  • Eurus, Cursed Child, Obscurials, and Potterverse April 18, 2018
    Fandom has always seen thematic connections between BBC Sherlock and the Harry Potter stories. Eurus Holmes bears striking similarities to two newcomers to Potterverse: the Obscurial and the Cursed Child. Like the Obscurial from Fantastic Beasts, Eurus can change shape and cause mass destruction, but longs for someone who can soothe her and help contain her powers. Like Delphi from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the story of Eurus is an arguably extra-canonical, controversial addition to an established storyline. A look at the connections between Eurus, Obscurials, and Delphi can elucidate what they bring to the fictional universes we already loved.
