The Happy Ending Convention 2 : a look back on the Once Upon A Time convention

Our arrival at the Hilton Hotel

Bracelet on our wrist? Check! Pass around our neck? Check! The fans are patiently waiting for the doors to open to discover their seat in the Q&A room.

Very good Once Upon A Time merchandise

It was possible to buy many products including beautiful bookmarks or notebooks about Once upon a time. It was a huge success for the designer, everything was sold!

Let's go!

After the explanation of the course of the weekend and a quick recall of the rules, the actors came to greet for the first time the 700 fans who came at the event.

We're starting really good!

The first panel of the day happenned with the headliner of the convention: Lana Parrilla. Always friendly and lovely, she answered with sincerity and humor to questions from people in the room for half an hour.

Go to the extras !

Whether for photoshoots or for a meet and greet, fans went up to the first floor of the Hilton Hotel to spend a special moment with their favorite actors.

She said yes!

In the middle of the cosplay contest, a couple who had met at the previous edition of the convention got engaged! Big surprise and big emotion for them and for all of us. Congratulations!

The cosplay contest

Many participants walked through the stage to show their costumes. The newly engaged couple logically won.

One animation after another

It was the moment of karaoke. Karaoke: individual or group entertainment consisting of singing on pre-recorded music. Or more commonly: a time that can usually be not loved by the hears of the people in the room. How wicked are we... ^^

"Henry" Q&A

Both our Henry (Jared Gilmore and Andrew West) were together on stage for a Q&A.
> Soon, a summary of the panel

An interview with Jared

We left the big room in order to join Jared Gilmore for an interview. We chat with him about conventions and played a little game. Soon on our website!

Sean, Rebecca and Barbara Q&A

For the last panel of the day, Sean Maguire, Rebecca Mader and Barbara Hershey were on stage to talk with their fans.

Merchandise part 2

We're starting our sunday with a look around the stands. Nice little things right ?

Emilie and Robert are here!

The two inseparable were present only Sunday at the event and were together on stage for a panel.

The real stars

While we were doing light tests in preparation for our next interviews, the bodyguards of the actors take the opportunity to pose at the end of the corridor. How much is the photoshoot?

Sean in music

We talked a few minutes with Sean about the musical career he had when younger. Do you remember "Good Day"? We do! Interview coming soon on the site.

A Q&A with Barbara, Rebecca, Sean, Jared and Andrew

We laughed so much! The actors (and especially Sean) were on fire!
> Soon, a summary of the panel

Quick concert of Sean and Ultan

Sean sang with his friend Ultan on the stage of the convention. We love when actors sing, don't you ?

The great Robert Carlyle!

The actor talk with us for a few minutes about the end of Once Upon A Time Interview to read here.

A french panel

4 french voice actors were at the convention on sunday. We only heard them for a few minutes, but we have no doubt that the panel was very interesting to listen to!

Lana "queen of the Q&A" Parrilla

Between her omissions of the translation, her furniture remodeling, her walks on stage ... it was difficult not to laugh during this half hour with the star of the series Once Upon A Time.
> Soon, a summary of the panel

The banner in auction

As usual, the banner was auctioned. And contrary to the wishes of little Sacha (and luckily for his mom) it was sold for less than 1 million euros.

(Sleeping) Belle

Robert!! Urgent call for Robert Carlyle. Robert is asked in the room to wake Belle up!! Yes, we mixed the Disney, but it was so tempting. And also so tempting to take this picture. Please, don't blame us ... <3

We repeat the song!

Fanny, the translator/host of the event gave everything to make the surprise of the closing ceremony successful.

A 'tifo' is set up

Papers are placed on all the seats of the convention for the closing ceremony. In addition to the song, fans will hold these pieces of paper to thank the actors for these 7 years of Once Upon A Time.

Sunday Cosplays

Second cosplay session of the weekend with costumes just as beautiful! Belle and Zelena won the contest.

Autographs!

This is THE moment when (practically) everyone goes and it's visually quite impressive to see people waiting for a last face to face with the actors.

Pictures recovery

It would be stupid to forget them! Recover photos, looking at the poses of others and wondering where to hang them at home ...

The 'entertainment' team

Fanny, Maxence and Clemy were on stage all weekend and they did a great job. Congratulations to them!

This is it...

Song, tifo, thanks from Lana and that's it... until next year! Because yes, People Convention announced that a 3rd edition was going to take place! More info very soon.

Just like always with People Convention, it was a great week-end for our team. Thanks to Brice, Vanessa, Margaux and Marion for their welcome and see you for the 3rd edition of their convention dedicated to Once Upon A Time!
