Hello!! I have read and checked around the site, their livejournal and their facebook group, and this, being my first HP con (though not my first attempt at convincing my mum to bring me to one of them), I want to get as much information as possible so I can appeal to my mum to take me to Portus.
I'll be fifteen in time for the event, so that means that I do need a chaperone/guardian/parent with me, so to make sure that I can answer every question mum throws at me about the event, costs, registrations and stuff, I need to make sure I know for sure how this all works.
The situation;;
Mum is unsure of going because of the costs since we live on this little island in Canada, and it's expensive to fly places. So she is very unsure about the registration prices. I want to go, but she doesn't really want to participate in the events because that would be 4OO$ all together just for registration (not including the afternoon teas, luncheons and the masquerade ball). So, does mum have to register too, or can I register and just have her stay in the hotel room?
I've heard of the things done in Prophecy and Phoenix Rising and I've watched some videos from it, so I have some kind of idea about how it's geared towards adults. But can mum just kind of of give like a consent form that it's okay for me to be there, or (this is tied with the first question), does she have to register too and attend the events?
And also, being an HP con newbie, do the luncheons include the feasts, or are they seperate? And also, what goes on at the luncheons, teas and feasts? Dr. Henry Jenkins is speaking during one of them...is it like a lecture and food?
Sorry for asking so many questions~!! I hope to all see you there and that we'll all get to talk and meet up in person!! >.<
Cheers, wrock and love,
