Morning Snape-ing: Canon!Snape

1. "The Snape Divide"

The release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has had an almost polarizing effect on Snape fans new and old capturing the imagination and sympathy of many while provoking the ire and disgust of others. This panel will explore both sides of this divide and what it means for Snape's legacy and the cohesion of the Snape fandom.

2. A "real" Potions Class taught by Professor Snape

3. Special Snape tribute video

Afternoon Snape-ing: Fanon!Snape

1. "Snape-ingo," a Snape-ified version of a favourite game

2. "How to Be a Snapefan Post-DH"

Pre-Book 7 many Snape fans fell in love with the Professor because of his ambiguous loyalties, but the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows simplified many of these mysteries in a way that was not satisfying to all Severus devotees. Then there was that bit about Snape being killled by a snake. So just how does one continue being a Snape fan after Book 7? This presentation and discussion explores the question with anecdotes and tips from Snapey experts.

3. A break for coffee, tea and some Snapey refreshments because the Professor gets moody without caffeine.

4. A Snapey Fashion Show. Please email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with “Snape Fashion Show” in the subject line if you are interested in participating. Fashion show participants do not have to be registered for SnapeFest.
