I'll be going, because the weird work circumstances that allowed me to attend in 2015 happened again. If you decide to go and need a roomie, Alyssa, you can stay with me.
..We're actually staying out in NJ to save money. $115/night vs $300/night really helps!
I actually just got back from an NYC trip (to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), so it's exciting to be going back so soon!
I just got back from seeing Cursed Child this past weekend! It was so goodYou'll be missed Alyssa! This will be my second year at NYCC, and last year I only got Fri-Sat so I'm excited to hit all 4 days. Waiting for the schedule to drop so I can figure out when I'll be coming in Thursday.
Ahhh, I am trying to figure out what show we want to see while we're in NYC for NYCC, and I'm debating whether or not to splurge on Harry Potter! It's not only expensive, since you have to pay for both parts, but also a large time commitment. Also, while I like the Harry Potter universe, I'm not a die hard Harry Potter fan. Like, I didn't grow up with Harry Potter, as I was a bit older when the books and movies came out, and never actually read the books or saw the movies until the past couple years because our younger friends, who are of the Harry Potter generation, kept saying we should. Anyway, I guess my question is, would you recommend the show/is it worth it for someone who is merely a casual fan?
There were a few jokes/references that I think were appreciated a bit more by Harry Potter fans but I would definitely recommend it. It doesn't quite hold up as a completely separate story, it is very much a continuation of the series, so I wouldn't recommend it for someone with no knowledge of the story but you don't need to be a real die hard fan to enjoy it.If you're there a day early there's a Wednesday two-part show that would be good, otherwise the time commitment is definitely a factor. I think you can do part 1 and 2 over Thurs & Fri night which wouldn't be too bad if you don't have anything NYCC related for the evenings.
Thanks for the input! I did end up reading all the books (including Cursed Child) and seeing all the movies, so I know the story. Yeah, we're getting in on Tues night, so I was thinking of doing the 2 parts on Wed. Since we don't know the NYCC schedule yet, I don't want to commit to anything on Thurs/Fri/Sat nights just in case there are panels we're interested in those nights. What were your seats like?
