HP Fest News Round-up: October 5, 2024

[lee_bella]

October is a busy month for me, so I might not have time to compile another edition of HP fest news round-up or masterlist round-up for this month. I'll still hop in here to post about individual fests. As always, you are welcome to promote your HP fests on Potterfests. If you would like a posting template, please see this link.

If you have a Dreamwidth account, you can also promote your fest on fandomcalendar. It's open to any and all fandoms.
