Fan Expo Hufflepuffs

The Hufflepuffs turned out for Fan Expo this year. They started off strong with trivia on Friday and continued through the weekend to pull out a strong win for the House Cup.

We had a great weekend, where we talked to a lot of new people and many of our regulars, took magical portraits of people in the acceptance letters, sold some of our new merch, and made Bowtruckles with anyone who wanted to take home a fantastic beast of their own.

We were able to interact with our fandom and many others. The Community Zone is always a fun place for us, because we get to see all the little witches and wizards coming to do crafts with us and visit all their other favorite fandoms and the amazing photo ops available. We also had a great view of Matthew Lewis (Neville) and Bonnie Wright (Ginny) at their signing tables.

If you stopped by our booth, thank you. We love chatting with you all and taking portraits for you on those Muggle squares you carry around. We’re looking to switch up our photo booth for future cons, which we hope will be just as enchanting and give you a new opportunity to engage with the magical world.

You can find us next at West Side Comic Con in May, at the Wingspan Events Center in Hillsboro.

Come See Us at Portland Fan Expo 2025

It’s 2025 and our first event is coming up! Fan Expo is the place for all your fandom dreams to come true. The show will run January 24-26 and will be packed with fun people, activities, and panels.

It’s not quite as large as Rose City Comic Con, but that comes with more opportunity to connect to your favorite celebrities, artists, and fellow fans. PDXpelliarmus will be there to promote equality for all witches and wizards, but also sell merch, have a magical photo op, a chance to win prizes, play trivia for House Points, and raising money for a great cause. You can find us at booth #450.

Check out some of our photos from Rose City Comic Con last year:

But that’s not all! The witches of PDXpelliarmus will be running The Way Of the Wand, a short workshop for your little magical ones that helps them get moving and learn safe wand movements with our practice wands, so they don’t put an eye out (or lose a buttock!) when they finally go out in the magical world with their real wands. This mini workshop has been a hit every time we’ve done it and we can’t wait to bring it to you over the weekend. It’s totally free with your admission.
