Where:

Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center - Mirror of Erised Room (A309/310)

We've all said some form of, "Just one more wand!" or, "But I need that Ravenclaw sweater with the house colors from the books!" This session explores how we express fandom through material consumption, the tension between displaying our fandom and consuming in excess, and how companies have responded to the demands of fandom.
