The Quidditch World Cup was held last weekend. Yes, I did say “quidditch” and, yes, I am talking about real people playing an actual real-world version of the famous wizarding sport from the world of Harry Potter.

Quidditch and Harry Potter themed events in the Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania.

There are two Harry Potter conventions this July, 2011. One is the huge LeakyCon event in Orlando and the other is a little one-off mini event for fans to socialize.

Wizard World Big Apple Comic Con ‘Spring Edition,’ part of North America’s largest pop-culture tour, is set for Saturday and Sunday, May 21-22, at the Penn Plaza Pavilion in Manhattan. The event, the largest and longest-running Comic Con in New York, will bring together thousands of fans of all ages and plenty of celebrities and industry professionals to celebrate the best in pop culture: movies, comics, toys, video gaming, television, gaming, original art, collectibles, contests and more.

Harry Potter convention Aeternitas, has turned to Quidditch World Cup organizers IQA to provide programming on this magical sport for their 2011 event this April. That means you’ll totally be able to play.
