Potterfests Updates

I've updated the 2026 HP Fest Masterlists on Potterfests as of January 10, 2026. You can find the 2026 masterlists on Dreamwidth and Livejournal.

Haven't gotten around to updating the 2025 masterlists or the HP fest spreadsheet yet. Things have been busy lately, so I'm putting the HP Fest News Round-up posts on hold for now. I'll still be posting about newly announced fests on Potterfests.

For more HP fest news, visit Potterfests on Dreamwidth or Livejournal.

P.S. There are two HP fests currently running on Dreamwidth and Livejournal. Check them out if you are interested.
