At last, this Saturday has also come, G12, that is, Grimmauld tér 12 (aka Grimmauld Square 12), Hungary’s first and only Harry Potter cosplay club. Meeting at the Western Railway Station, where we started looking for tracks 9 and elve guided by a sudden idea, some laughed at the thing, but someone was waiting for a train who made sure we could find it around the tenth track. Then head to Margaret Island, walking, everyone in gowns, hats, or even sunglasses – yes, we laughed at that too.


My first encounter with the club was last summer, Ixi invited me there and I enjoyed it so much that I got caught up in it right away. I’ve never dared to appear anywhere in cosplay before, but when I finally met “crazy people” like me, things have changed and I’ve been hunting cons ever since (you can read about Anime Christmas here).

On Margaret Island, we sat down near ruin for a picnic – in a bit of a Hogwarts atmosphere. First, we discussed the group’s further activities, plans, and events where we will participate and promote the G12. Then came the game: a quiz race, quizzes, and a version of the well-known Pop-Up Harry Potter. In the end, the informal conversation came to the fore, things outside the fandom also came to the fore. We exchanged tips and ideas on buying a wig or just making a cosplay.

Anyone who loves the world Rowling has created can join the group, there are still unfilled characters. I recommend it with a calm heart to anyone who likes to have good conversations and laugh.

It was a fantastic day again, I am a happy and proud Slytherin student and I will be, always!
