Quotes from the Con:

From the Slash panel:

Panelist Kate Tanski: Why do heterosexual women enjoy seeing two boys getting it on?
Audience: Because it's really hot!

(regarding "Daisy-Chain Draco")
Panelist Vicki Dolenga: You read it and you go "what the hell did I just read?"

(regarding Slash after OOP)
Panelist John Walton: Oh my god, we're canon. You don't have to read much into the subtext to know that Sirius and Remus are more than friends. ::woofs::

Panelist Kate Tanski: Thank god I was a Harry/Snape slasher before this.

Panelist John Walton: Percy is the new Draco.

Panelist Vicki Dolenga: I'm just glad that we now have established female characters. Femme slash with Tonks, I mean come on.

Audience member: Writing Hermione/Ginny is subverting the system!


From the Draco panel:

Aja: (Introducing) Draco Malfoy: Slimy git now and forever, or does he have redeeming qualities?
Carlisle: Carlisle, known as Cedar. He's a twit.
Catherine: I'm Catherine Tosenburger, and I think he's a boring twit.
Cassie: I'm Cassandra Claire, and I think Draco has potential.
Irina: I'm Irina, and I try to see potential in everybody. I like Draco and I will not apologize for it.

Aja: No one is ambivalent. He's Mr. Darcy or he's Hitler.

Irina: In canon, he's hopeless and offensive and a thorn in the side who eventually goes off into oblivion until he shouts "You killed my father! Prepare to die!"

Aja: His role is to echo Harry and underline the fact that Draco is what Harry could have been and vice versa, if Draco had any regard for human life.

Catherine: Dudley is getting all the development!
John: In the sense that he's beating up small children! That's depth, man!

Irina: That is so fanon.

Irina: You can't atone for being a stupid brat.


From the Fandom Vernacular panel:

Panelist: We're friendly! We promise! We're just depraved!


From "The Importance of Being Ron" panel:

Panelist: It's the half-blind leading the blind.

Panelist: Ron is a Harry/Ginny shipper.


From "Sail on, Good Ship"

H/H Panelist: In Prisoner of Azkaban, it's all Harry and Hermione. They're chained together, then fly off on a hippogryff, a symbol of love.
(Later)
H/R Panelist: Hermione doesn't like riding on the hippogryff!

H/R Panelist: We look forward to the time Ron gets a clue.

H/R Panelist: We as romantics put everybody together. We put Dobby and the Giant Squid together.


From the "Timelines" panel:

(Regarding the Aberforth-IS-Dumbledore theory)
Audience member: But that would mean that it was Dumbledore prosecuted for practicing inapproprate charms on a goat.
Steve Vander Ark: Of course, you're jumping to conclusions of what those inapproprate charms were.
