Fans of Harry Potter and JRR Tolkien were amazed at the wizards’ market on Saturday June 15, on Allées Paul-Riquet, in Béziers. Around ten stands offered for sale objects, often handcrafted, linked to the imagination and witchcraft.
Figurines, miniature goodies, pyrography, video games, on the themes of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, the world of Hayao Myasaki or Walt Disney cartoons… There was something for everyone on the Paul aisles -Riquet, this Saturday June 15. We could even find the ingredients for the druid’s magic potion in Asterix and Obelix. Organized by the Génération geek teamrk association, the event took place for the first time in Béziers (the event has taken place for two years in Portiragnes-Plage, every September 22).
Craft decorations
Among the onlookers, Marie had bought a small resin dragon: “The magical world theme and the handcrafted decorations caught my attention because nothing is industrial“. Gwendoline marveled at the stands: “There is a lot of kindness, gratitude and sharing between people who are interested in the world of witchcraft. We are in a society where mutual aid is lost and this world allows us to rediscover essential values.”
The association hopes to repeat the event next year on the same dates.with more exhibitors, with board game tournaments and Hogwarts flags hanging on poles around the Town“, confided Rémy Soulié, president of the association.
