I have to admit that I am one of the lucky ones. I attended PAX East this year at the end of Feburary, probably one of the last gaming conventions to be held in 2020 before the coronavirus outbreak.

Last weekend I had tickets for an event called Wizard U. It was advertised as a Harry Potter wizarding experience for adults aged 21+ and would include fun activities, classes, potions, etc! Cosplay encouraged! Sounds awesome, right? Years ago I had put together a 'sexy Hermione' costume for Halloween and I've been very excited to …
