Adrienne Aipia - Potterwatch (News) Editor, Events Calendar
House: Gryffindor / Member of: Los Angeles Dumbledore's Army (LADA)
--
A business trip to Singapore back in November of 2000 was the beginning of Adrienne’s love for the Harry Potter series. With 14 hours to kill in a middle seat, she picked up the much talked about children’s book that everyone was abuzz about. Right from chapter 1 of Sorcerer’s Stone the magic of the series coursed through her blood. In summer of 2008, Adrienne decided that she was tired of having to beg and bribe her friends and then fiancé to attend midnight HP movie screenings in Hogwarts robes and decided that she should start her own adult fan group in her neck of the woods. As head organizer of The Los Angeles Dumbledore’s Army (LADA), Adrienne and her Leadership Team have produced events such as the Tri-Wizard Tournament, HP Pub Crawls, HP Bowling Night, Madam Puddifoots Afternoon Teas, HP Academic lectures, an annual HP Roller Skating Night and more.

Heather Murphy
House: Slytherin / Member of: Central Florida Slug Club
--
Heather has been involved in the Harry Potter fandom since 2003 when, after years of resisting her friend's attempts at pushing her to read the books, Heather's great aunt introduced her to the movies and video games during a family vacation. Upon returning home, Heather quickly jumped into the book series, reading all four in a matter of days and jumping into a new life filled with fanfiction, midnight book releases, Harry Potter RPGs on Livejournal, and conventions. In 2012, the obsession started to ease and Heather declared Ascendio to be her last HP convention. Three days of amazing programming, great friends, a mini funeral procession for Abraxas Malfoy and one strategic conga line later, the obsession was worse than ever. She joined MyHogwarts in order to connect with more HP fans in the area and next thing she knew, she and Melissa Penatzer had formed the Central Florida Slug Club.
