It was my first symposium for HP and it was very interesting. I really enjoyed Jim Dale's presentation. <BR/><BR/>Then I listened to Dr. Jenkins and was fascinated by the fan fiction fights against being pulled. It's very sad that large media companies are fighting against the very people who are making them all their money and are their future. Very short sighted.<BR/><BR/>The arguments...okay, perhaps they should be termed "heated discussions" amongst the "members" of the different Hogwarts houses was truly awe-inspiring! I haven't seen people that passionate since my last good Firefly meeting. <BR/><BR/>It was very interesting...and I've "borrowed" Gwen's laptop to listen to some of the CDs she bought.Sara Reyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15244994893334843484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-28380824535882478722008-07-13T14:22:00.000-04:002008-07-13T14:22:00.000-04:00Actually, the symposium allows children 14 and up to attend with a chaperone. <BR/><BR/>Aside from that, the symposium's programming is aimed at academics of the high school, college, and graduate level - not elementary school aged children. In fact, a lot of the presentations would indeed, not be appropriate for younger children.ZZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03475221628032446280noreply@blogger.com
