Look - up in the sky!
It's a bird! It's a plane! No - it's... Harry Potter?

A new and younger hero has captured the minds and hearts of generations. Thousands of grown men and women all over the world are proud to admit they love the Harry Potter books. On websites, online discussion boards, and email distribution lists throughout the internet, adult fans recognize the value of the books and debate their finer points shamelessly.

And now, after nearly four years of conversation in the virtual world, those same fans will get the chance to meet in person, some for the very first time. There are thousands of grown-up fans of Harry Potter, his friends, his teachers and his world of wizards, dragons and the age-old conflict of good and evil. These fans are intelligent, literate and come from every imaginable walk of life and from all corners of the globe.

On July 17-20, 2003, they will gather at The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel, and we hope your firm will be part of the excitement and the significance as Nimbus - 2003 makes history as the first symposium for adults focused on Harry Potter.
