Founded in 2009, Mischief Management specializes in events celebrating the experience of fandom. While we used to run a Harry Potter-specific event, we ended that event. We are not now nor have we ever been endorsed or sanctioned by J.K. Rowling or Warner Brothers. In fact, the values we hold close are staunchly opposed to the fear and hatred that J.K. Rowling has been spreading about members of the trans and non-binary communities in recent years.  Learn more →

Our programming celebrates the fandoms we all love, both joyfully and critically, and we’ve never shied away from discussing complex topics. It is our hope that people see our events as a place where they can explore and express themselves. We strive to create an environment where this can happen freely, whether that requires us to remove participants, create gender neutral restrooms in venues that don’t provide them, or to further distance ourselves from an author whose actions endanger people we care about. It’s a central part of our work to make this space safe and welcoming, and we continually reach out to people within the trans and non-binary communities, as well as other marginalized communities, to ensure that we are meeting our goals. We welcome your feedback.  Contact us →

Our shared love of stories brought us together, and the fandoms and communities we create events for are about something much bigger than hero worshiping one flawed person. We will continue to highlight the fan creations that inspire us. We strive to uplift marginalized voices more than ever before. We focus on the joy that comes from our shared interests, passions, and experiences, and we will not lend credence to ignorance.

 

This is not a one-time statement. It is a long-term commitment to doing better, listening, and building safer spaces for fans of all identities and backgrounds.
