About Us

“A weekend away with our wizard friends.” This has always been the dream of the members of NYC meetup group The Group That Shall Not Be Named. We love conventions, meetups, and cosplay days, but are craving something more: a chance to connect, create, and party with our fellow wizards. Those who have remained in the Harry Potter fandom for the community. 

 

We’ve put two years of work into creating this weekend – for ALL of us. Hope you’ll join us!
