Return to Main
Saturday night, artists gathered in excited anticipated for the Art Show awards, presented by celebrated artist Todd Lockwood. The awards consisted of three categories: the Special Awards (people’s choice), the Treasure Chest Charity Art Project (the charity art project), and the Juried Awards.
Artist Don Matz, who judged the treasure chests, could not attend because he was currently judging the Dawn Look-alike contest. A member of the audience joked that Matz was judging "another kind of chest."
On Friday at 5:30, the line snaked through the Hyatt as eager fans waited for a chance to see Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) and James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley). From a coveted front row seat, Lauren Monroe said her two-hour wait was absolutely worth it. When all the chairs were full, the doors closed on disappointed faces, but the lucky crowd inside roared cheers of “Neville” and “twins.” At last, the long-awaited stars appeared.
Crowds and lines were the norm at Dragon*Con 2007, but fans in the Walk of Fame Sunday afternoon were undaunted. Harry Potter fans waited patiently for James and Oliver Phelps and Matthew Lewis to return from a lunch break. The staff gave out numbers on slips of paper, so the fans could take a break, too.
