The Printworks will once again be transformed into Diagon Alley this summer as a two-day Harry Potter fan convention descends on Manchester.
DraigCon will feature a Magic Market Street with Harry Potter themed traders, appearances from cast members, Q&A sessions with cast and crew and lots more.
It first came to the city last year when hundreds of people - young and old - donned capes and hats to indulge their passion for JK Rowling’s world of wizardry.
There will also be opportunities to meet actors from the films in autograph and photography sessions throughout the event, which takes place on Saturday, July 6 and Sunday, July 7.

The list of this year's actors has yet to be confirmed but last year's event featured the likes of Chris Rankin, who played Percy Weasley and Sean Biggerstaff, who played Oliver Wood, the keeper and captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Fancy dress is, of course, strongly encouraged so dig out your Hogwarts scarves, invisibility cloaks and wands.
Early bird tickets are now on sale for the event and organisers say because of the number of shows available there is now a weekend pass and VIP passes giving priority access to talks and shows, queue jumps and more.
