Harry Potter stars will be in Coventry next month for an event celebrating all things pop culture, gaming and entertainment. Fans are encouraged to dress up as their favourite characters for Comic Con Mania, which is taking over Coventry Building Society Arena for one day only on May 25.

There will be a cosplay competition, gaming zones to play retro and the latest video games and a marketplace to purchase collectables, comics and more.

There will also be set builds and props, with a chance to explore and take photos with movie and TV show set replicas. Special guest stars will be David Bradley, who played Filch in the Harry Potter film series and Josh Herdman, who played Gregory Goyle.
