    how can this not have comments yet?

    where are the people complaining about the time match up of Wrockstock and the Supercon? I know I’m distressed. I mean, beautiful loving wizard rockers, or THE FREAKIN WEASLEY TWINS AND VIKTOR KRUM. And I’m going to say I’m hoping the fourth mystery guest is somebody hot.

    Plus, I basically live here now, and I’ll probably be here forever 🙁

    Hey now, don’t be so glum about living in Florida! You’re about to be closer than the rest of us to the best theme park in the universe. Well, you’re there right now, but it’s still being built. Anyway.

    Um… so basically the fact that Harry Potter involved people, such as the Phelps twins will be able to experience first hand Wizard Rock (along with the screening of the Wizard Rockumentary)…. is epic. Don’t you agree?

    I knowww…

    that’s why i want to go to the SuperCon instead of wrockstock.

    Also Phelps twins and Stannystan = excessive hotness. You know how I like the hotness.

    It is also potentially more affordable than Wrockstock…
