Interviews with Harry Potter fans at the Infinitus 2010 conference at Universal Orlando

Harry Potter fans from around the world came to Universal Orlando in mid-July for the Infinitus 2010 conference. The fans held talks, played quidditch, Wizard Chess and enjoyed shows and Wizard Rock. They also attended The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in the Islands of Adventure theme park. Watch for an appearance by actor Chris Rankin at the end of the video. Chris played Percy Weasley in the Harry Potter films.

@Bater8slater Muggle Quidditch retains the general idea of the magical game, but instead of flying, the players run around on brooms. For bludgers, there are dodgeballs (beaters throw them at players). The snitch is a person dressed all in gold who runs around in an effort to elude the seekers.

It's quite fun to watch. In fact, I went to the Quidditch World Cup this past weekend!
