HP Events Australia
2007 was the peak of the Harry Potter fandom. The last book was released, a movie just weeks earlier, a couple of live MuggleCast shows in Australia, not to mention the HPEA team running a few trivia nights for charity and a trip to the zoo.
The HPEA team, as passionate book fans, have decided not to continue with the events. I, Bianca, have moved onto looking after Tap Dancing Spiders and back to university to study public relations (which I learned a lot about while working the media for the Deathly Hallows launch with Dymocks). Ben and Chris (the design team) have set up their design business, Decorative Sky, while completing year 12. We still work together on projects and if any more of the Harry Potter podcasters want shows managed in Australia we’ll pull the team together, but until then enjoy the movies and reminiscing.
If you are looking for events or a fan to interview, please email me at bianca@tapdancingspiders.com or Erica Crombie with ericacrombie@gmail.com. If Erica’s unavailable or you need someone from another state, we’ll point you the right direction.
Here’s a few links to what we got up to:

They may come back. I know Eric loves Australia. It’s just the cost and distance in the way.
