From the Harry Potter group that brought you Phoenix Rising in New Orleans this last spring:

A path to Friendship, Discovery and Danger.
A crossroads of Magic and Adventure.
An Unforgettable Journey. Terminus 2008!

On June 26, 1997, Harry Potter took the first step in his journey and brought along millions of enthusiasts who not only traveled with him, but discovered paths of their own, to friendship, to magic, and to imagination.

On August 7-11, 2008, Terminus, a Harry Potter conference, will encompass not only the journey of J. K. Rowling’s seven fantastic books, but the individual journeys of those who read them. Terminus invites everyone who has ever analyzed a character, dissected a plotline or constructed an argument to five days of immersion in Harry Potter.
We will discuss and debate J. K. Rowling’s words and ideas. We will unravel the mysteries of the finished story and draw parallels to other works. We will reminisce, and celebrate the series that changed our lives.
And for five days in Chicago, we will be one academic and fan community gathered together from a thousand different paths to explore the series that we have in common.Terminus - Harry Potter Conference - About Terminus

I will be interesting to see what transpires between now and then, now that the last Harry Potter book has been released and devoured by 8.6 million readers in less than a day.
