SPECIAL GUESTS

DREAM QUAFFLE

Geoff Hutton, aka "Dream Quaffle," has been a unique and active voice in the wizard wrock community since 2020. Since their debut on "Hut on the Wrock: a Sea Shanty Comp," they have released a number of projects including the "Magic Jukebox" EP, their album "My Polyjuice Project," and even singles such as "Sirius Rap." Through their wizard wrock, Dream Quaffle explores the opportunity to reach out to every corner of the fandom with a wide variety of musical experiments that all come back to one simple message: there is plenty of room here for all of us!

In addition to all of their wrock adventures, their voice can be found on many "Potter" podcasts including Alohomora!, SpeakBeasty, PuffCast, Care of Magical Shippers, and WZRD Radio.  

 

KEYONA

My name is Key and I am a Black woman cosplayer! My Blackness has been, and continues to be, the most formative aspect of my personhood. As someone who is pursuing a PhD in Afro American Studies, being Black is a part of everything I do, including my cosplays. I try my best to incorporate my own flares to all of my costumes. Cosplaying has been a fantastic journey so far and I am thankful for my partners, Juiceman Cosplay and Mr. Tetris Cosplay.
