Millie Bobby Brown, Eleven in ‘Stranger Things,’ will be meeting fans at Wizard World Philly June 3-4
Millie Bobby Brown became an overnight star when the sci-fi/horror series “Stranger Things” was an instant hit upon its release on Netflix in July of 2016. Less than a year later, the 12-year-old English actress who shaved her head to play Eleven, a quiet and mysterious young girl given psychokinetic abilities through torturous government experiments, will be appearing at Wizard World Comic Con in Philadelphia on Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4.
The annual pop culture convention runs for four days – Thursday, June 1 through Sunday, June 4 – at the Pennsylvania Convention Center (1101 Arch St., Philadelphia), and Brown will be meeting fans, taking pictures, signing autographs, participating in a Q&A panel, and presumably eating Eggo waffles during its two biggest days. While her autograph price isn’t listed yet, a photo-op with her will cost $60 while a VIP package, which includes four-day admission, a lithograph, autograph, photo-op, guateed seating at her panel, and more, runs $224.99. Be sure to bring a tissue so her nose doesn’t bleed on your limited edition poster.
Wizard World sums up Brown’s burgeoning career thus far:
Millie Bobby Brown can currently be seen in the Netflix hit series “Stranger Things,” in which she stars opposite Winona Ryder and David Harbour for the Duffer Brothers.

Previously, she was cast after an extensive search as a lead in the BBC/BBC America series “Intruders” opposite Oscar winner Mira Sorvino and John Simm.
