'Potterheads' can rejoice because it's that time of year again.
And this year we're lucky enough to be getting a huge Harry Potter event, right here in Dublin.
Dublin will be swamped with dedicated Harry Potter fans from all over the world this weekend with LeakyCon 2017 taking place in our fair city.
Each year, muggles from around the world gather together for the ultimate fan event that is, LeakyCon. It's the dream for any big fans out there.
Running from today August 31 until Sunday September 3, the weekend is packed with various events for die-hard fans of the globally popular J.K Rowling creation.
The best part is some Harry Potter stars will make an appearance at the big event including our own Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) alongside Dan Fogler of Fantastic Beasts, Katie Leung (Cho Chang) and Hero Fiennes-Tiffin (the young Tom Riddle) and many more.
There will not only be interviews with various cast members but there will be in depth discussions and events about the Wizarding World, music from worldwide popular Harry Potter tribute bands including Tonks and the Aurors, The Whomping Willows and Harry and the Potters. 'House' meetings and much more.

The Sunday consists of a huge expo event where you can get autographs and photographs with special guests (at an extra cost) as well as access to Question and Answer sessions, performances, games and some pop-up programming and much more.
If you can't make any other day, we would recommend going to see the expo where people are bound to be dressed up as wizards and witches and some Harry Potter creatures.
Actually, yes!
There is still general weekend tickets and individual day tickets on sale here.
The weekend ticket costs just over €140, while the Friday, Saturday or Sunday's Fandom Expo pass costs close to €45.
