“The Vampire Diaries” Cast's Weekend at Comic-Con

They have one of the hottest shows on the CW, and earlier today the cast of “The Vampire Diaries” was in full effect at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con.

Media darlings Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley kicked things off on Friday night by attending a Maxim soiree and the Camp Playboy Party - where they played Raving Rabbids: Alive & Kicking on the XBox Kinect.

On Saturday (July 23), the trio joined costars Candice Accola and Joseph Morgan to greet fans and partake in a panel forum before Miss Dobrev shuffled off to attend the Comic-Con premiere of "Cowboys & Aliens".

Also included during the course of the event was a highlight reel of memorable moments from Season Two, and a look ahead to the next year - as Season Three gets started on September 15th at 8:00pm ET on the CW network.
