Hi.
I'm Crys. I'm working on being able to attend this event. If I can, it will be my first. I love the books, but was never really involved in the online fandom. I'm slowly immersing myself, though I'll probably never be as hardcore as a lot of you are.
I'm Gryffindor, with leanings to Ravenclaw.

Good evening,
My name is Gabrielle and I'm a ballet dancer and costumer for Howard County Ballet in MD. This will be my first Harry Potter Convention and I am very excited about attending.
I would like to be involved in someway. I will welcome any suggestions and can't wait to meet everyone.
My favorite characters are Narcissa and Hermione.

Hi! I'm Kimberly. I'm so excited about MISTI! I don't yet know for sure, but hope to be there! This will be my first con and I need to figure out a costume. I'm a proud Ravenclaw. My favorite characters are Ron, Hermione, Lupin, and Molly Weasley. I started reading the books just after OofP and haven't been able to put them down since!

Mkay it's time for me to stop being lazy and post somethin' here. Hey all, my name is Ni. It's pronounced 'knee' like the leg joint, not 'nye' like Bill Nye the Science Guy. Honestly with all the funky fandom names out there, it's a wonder we don't permanently become tongue-tied! My full handle is Niamh Augurey, and I can't wait to meet you all and hear you butcher it in person. So some of you I know from previous cons - MISTI will be my fourth HP convention. My first was The Witching Hour in Salem, MA and it was utterly life-changing. (Literally. It set me on course for my BA in Writing.) Since then I have also been to Infinitus and Aeternitas. I'm an avid 'dual-sorter' and love to try to peg people for what house and what "introverted house" they would be in - I'm a Gryffindor with a strong Slytherin undercurrent. Aeternitas was a blast but I think I missed some of the best parts - which were after hours in the Common Room - so I intend to make up for it this time with ample amounts of 5-hour Energy Drink and luck. Also I am excited to include two of my family members who will be attending the Con, and I would love to share stories with others who have brought their families into the fandom as well. I plan on submitting a presentation proposal for Formal Programming within the next week or two so with any luck some of you might attend my first workshop, and I have recently begun work on an elaborate Auror cosplay costume so hopefully I'll look good for it too! Ok if I don't stop now you'll all fall asleep so...see you at MISTI-Con!

Hello All My name is Ray and For those of you who dont know...I am The Darklord Bartender... I am so glad to be a part of this event it is going tobe epic... Themed drinks will be served at every bar. Hooray! I remember Ray from Aeternitas...It'll be good to see you again. I'm Julie, and this will be my second con. The first being Aeternitas. Real life employment keeps me pretty tied down in the DC area, so I'm looking forward to getting back to The Margate and meeting everyone. My cousin Lacey will be joining the fun as well. I tend to sort Ravenclaw most of the time, but with a strong Slytherin undercurrent. I'm a member of the ODL, a former Mod/Head of House at MNFF, and current Mod at rarepair_shorts on LiveJournal. Can't wait to see you all in May!

Peeves, New Hampshire in general is actually a fairly large state.
There is a Navy Fort on its coast. Amazing steam train tours of its mountains. It has castles and mansions that have tours.
There is also a lot of haunted property in New Hampshire some with tours as well.

Hello All, My name is Rebecca Sideris and I started reading Harry Potter in 1998, and put it down. In 2005 I started again and read through OOTP in about 10 days. I waited in line at midnight to pick up the HBP and later waited in line in my witch hat for the DH. I have never nervously waited in line, or dressed up or read through so many times or cried so many times for any other book, ever. I was a closet fan until two months before Aeternitas. I hate quoting Droxy on this but I'm a "middle age" fan. Don't tell my Muggle husband but I am Truly Madly Deeply in love Snape. <3 *sob* My degrees are in painting and Latin but for income I am the paralegal for a bankruptcy Trustee which believe it or not is a really great place to work. (We all have office issued Nerf guns.) I have a studio in my home but not enough three hour blocks to paint as a mom of two fabu girls. Writing is easier for me time-wise and I have a children's book and about 3 novels in various degrees of completion. I say this because I have discovered that the majority of HP fans are artists or have the souls of artists and I enjoy the camaraderie. I live in Atlanta but love every Yank I met at Aeternitas. I always test Slytherin and happily own it. HOWEVER, I am NOT a follower of the Dark Lord. I find the concept of wizard racism appalling and a proper Slytherin can get what they need without licking boots. Okay maybe Snapes...but I digress. I cosplay Rita Skeeter and will try my hand as Rosemerta this con. I do love a good party and am excited to see everyone again! RS

Hi all,
I like to be around my fellow HP fans. This is my third HP conference. I previously went to Infitus 2010 and Leaky 2012. Outside the conferences, I have been to the world cup in NYC and listen to wrock as much as I can. I was introduced to HP by a coworker in 1999 and from then on I was hooked. My muggle friends just don't get it.
I am looking forward to meeting more hp fans.
Always Griffindor, Sheila from Philly

Hey MISTI-Con peeps, My name is Keith Hawk, and I cannot tell you how excited I am to return to the Margate this May. Aeternitas 2011 was definitely one of the best cons I ever attended and many of you will be returning (because of its awesomeness). I am deeply involved in the Harry Potter fandom. When I say deep, I really mean deep! LOL If you are not familiar with me, I am Senior Staff on the World's No. 1 Harry Potter site, MuggleNet. I am in charge of the day-to-day operation of the site from everything to news, content, ads, and everything in between. But I couldn't possibly do all of this by myself as I have an amazing staff, several of which will be with us at MISTI-Con. I also host the podcast MuggleNet Academia, which is a heavy dive into the literature of Harry Potter. My co-host, John Granger - The Hogwarts Professor - and I bring on a special academic guest speaker and a student guest to discuss a particular subject and how it related to Potter. It's truly for the Potter-geek, so if you haven't listened yet, I hope you get the chance to do so. During the Con, I will be hosting a fan favorite from Aeternitas - Harry Potter Family Feud and Harry Potter Jeopardy. Trust me, you don't want to miss this fun! I consider myself very lucky to be in the position I am, and I don't take it lightly. My position has allowed me some brilliant friendships and contacts. It allowed me to provide you all with a fantastic surprise with the Darcey-Alden family attending the con. Ellie was Young Lily Evans in the Potter films, her brother Joseph was in Dr. Who "The Snowmen" episode alongside Ellie, and their amazing parents, who are Harry Potter fans just like us. Anyway, I am excited to see you all again or if I haven't met you before, please stop and say hello, we will leave the Margate friends for sure. Cheers!

I am a middle-aged Slytherin (but quite nice, really, as long as I have my morning coffee), a librarian who found Harry Potter because I could never resist a banned book, and always liked Severus Snape (even before Alan Rickman); also an actress and somewhat of a singer, would do arts & crafts if I had more talent. I take a stab at cosplay, but haven't had the time/$$ to do it properly (usually Minerva McGonagall, because I look a lot like her without even trying very hard).
