Cosplay is easily one of the best parts of attending any comic or fan convention.

Mischief Management held its annual Harry Potter fan convention LeakyCon in Dallas from Aug. 9-11. They divided the cosplay contest into two divisions, the Pygmy Puff and the Phoenix Dvisions. We attended the Cosplay Contest (Phoenix Division) for entrants ages 16 and up. Both contests took place on Sunday Aug. 11.

Harry Potter actor Jim Tavere, who played Tom the Innkeeper, was one of the MCs.

But remember… Every cosplayer is a winner! 😉
