We're super excited to announce The Diagon Film Festival! 🎬

The fest is dedicated to AUs based upon some of our favourite films! Films of all genres, eras, and languages are welcome. 🎬 We hope you’ll join us!

This fest is open to ALL Harry Potter generations including Marauders, Golden Era, and Next Gen. All pairings are welcome!

Writers, artists, video editors, and betas are all welcome. We'd love it if you joined us! This is an 18+ only fest.

🎭 Creating

All ships from all generations are welcome (Marauders, Golden Era, and Next Gen). This is not a ship-specific or generation-specific fest.

There is a minimum word count of 1,000 words for all submitted fics. For podfics, the recorded story should be a minimum of 1,000 words. There is no maximum for either fics or podfics.

Multi-chapter fics are allowed, but you must finish the first chapter of the fic by the submission deadline.

Dead dove and NSFW are allowed, but all works must be tagged appropriately! In light of the various topics discussed and portrayed in film, please consider yourself, your fellow participants, and your readers when discussing any themes that may be sensitive for others. 

Collaborations are welcome!

A beta is not required for a fic to be submitted to the fest, though you're more than welcome to use an outside beta if you'd like (and there are other participants in the Discord server happy to help out).

There is a 1,000 word minimum for all submitted fics. There is no maximum.

All submissions are due on May 1, 2025, by 11:59 PM GMT. If you need an extension or to drop out, please let the fest mods know ASAP so we can adjust the posting schedules.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop us an ask!

Not "humans are inherently good" or "humans are inherently evil" but a secret third thing (humans are inherently social animals which means that we're very good at cooperating and being compassionate towards those we perceive as being part of our community but we're also very good at being tribal and violent towards those we perceive as threats to our community and everyone defines their community differently)

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again
