I completely agree. I just recently got into the HP fandom (or rather, the events associated with it; ie wrock and cons) and I was really excited to go to Acciocon as it would be my first ever convention & I was sorely disappointed. It was poorly organized and there was barely anything to do with HP. Honestly, I felt like it was a waste of money. On Saturday, I even left and came back just for the wrock concert. It made me a little discouraged to go to other conventions.
I love that most of the related videos are all about Kellan Lutz.
Half the comments are probably from those same tweenaged twilighters who have never heard of Wizrockateers & only watched because they were looking for videos from the con.
The wrock parts of the con looked awesome. Too bad it was so unbalanced.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It was CLEARLY stated on the site that AccioCon is a joint convention, so I am sorry that you felt misinformed about this.
Though your opinion is appreciated, please remember that there was A LOT of hardwork that went into the con. Nothing is EVER perfect on the first go.Oh, and I was on the Twilight debate team BTW, and I don't think that you explained it accurately. There were a lot of really good points made from both sides. This con was about letting everyone know it is okay to like both.
Hands down, this was the worse con I have ever been to and to say that AccioCon was a "joint" con is a flat out LIE. There was barely anything HP and anything HP that was there, people had scheduled Twicrap junk at the same time. This con was a joke, and they will be lucky to have any HP people back next year. Sucks for them considering the name they chose for their con is HARRY POTTER!
THEY SHOULDN'T DO JOINT conventions ! Because obviously the fanbases are different.
I know Twilight isn't this complex story and too say the characters are flat ? I REALLY HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THAT. The potter books are written better but THAT DOES NOT MEAN PEOPLE WOULD PICK IT AS THEIR FAVORITE BOOK. The reason why the Twilight books are my favorite is because of the story, characters and the simplicity of it.
But I sure would of had fun at this convention but TWICON HERE I COME !
I love the Potter books but I do feel some of the fans look down on Twilight fans. I'm 26 married and I don't scream at everything so please don't stereotype the Twilight fans PLEASE ! But honestly what did you Potter fans expect from the Twilight fans who are mostly teenagers ? The books are about teenage kids. And yes I love and adore the Twilight books and it's unfortunate that you can't see past the screaming and little girls.
I am sorry.. but Merch Girls are Easy is my favorite song that he is playing right now. It's just funny. Some of the songs are really good.. I have heard a few.. they are amazing.
Brian needs to shave.
Brian's "all of the others comment' seems amazing!
Hi, I miss you. And I've been reading all the twitter posts and hearing from Matt all weekend about this con.
My theory (and the reason why I didn't go) is because Harry Potter fans are tired of dealing with the Twilight fans who are trying to compete with us... so Twilight fans were more likely to go than we were. The books are completely different but Twilight fans still seem to think that these kinds of debates are worth wasting time on.

1. I specified that we're "tired of dealing with the Twilight fans who are trying to compete with us"... not all the fans, just the ones who have abused me in the past, even though I considered myself a Twilight fan at one point, just because I like Harry Potter. I have a lot of friends who like Twilight.
2. The Harry Potter books are also about teenage kids. Most Harry Potter fans are also teenagers. I don't have a problem with the age, just the immaturity. It's not an excuse.
That's the thing not all Twilight fans are immature ! The Twilight books is a romance type series with teenage love and don't tell me that doesn't appeal to teen girls at most ?
That's not what I was saying, though. I was trying to explain why so many Twilight fans went to the conference and so many Harry Potter fans either stayed away or went and regretted it.
@devilishlypure if only twi fans felt like it was worth wasting time on then why was there even a debate at all ...oh i forgot couse harry potter fans came too

Sounds like a bit of a buzz kill. I wonder what the Twilight people thought of it and if they had the same disdain for HP fans.
Also, Yay for a Devin cameo! I miss you girls so much.
