The members of Team StarKid are returning to LeakyCon for the second year in a row after the massive success of the first A Very StarKid Event at LeakyCon 2011 in Orlando, FL. More than 2,000 fans sang and danced along with the group to celebrate the opening of the final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II.

In addition to their Harry Potter parody musicals, Team StarKid has produced several shows including Starship and Holy Musical B@man!. In 2011, Team StarKid performed in and produced the “Funtastic Slamaganza,” a charity show with proceeds benefitting Snow City Arts, a local Chicago charity. Members of the group embarked on the 15-city national SPACE tour in November of 2011, followed by The Apocalyptour in the Spring of 2012, where they were joined in Los Angeles and New York by Darren Criss, one of the founders of Team StarKid and actor on the hit television show Glee.

“We couldn’t be happier to welcome back Team StarKid to LeakyCon,” said Melissa Anelli, the conference’s organizer. “They have become a substantial and exciting part of the Harry Potter fandom and we could not imagine organizing an event without them.”

“This year Team StarKid celebrated the third anniversary of the release of A Very Potter Musical. At LeakyCon, we’ll celebrate three years of being included in this spectacular fandom by presenting one of the most requested and most rumored about projects amongst our fans,” said Brian Holden, one of the members and founders of Team Starkid.
