Infinitus Holiday Special

[Heidi Tandy]

Black Friday may be over but to stay in the holiday mood, from now
through December 31, 2009, you will get a $5 gift certificate for use
at the Infinitus merchandise table when you buy a regular
registration, upgrade to Merlin's Circle or add on a keynote luncheon.

So this holiday season, pick up an Infinitus registration for yourself
or a friend - or treat yourself and a friend to lunch next July!

 HPEF and Infinitus welcome scholars and fans of all origins to
explore the mysteries and questions buried in JK Rowling’s novels.
Anyone who wishes to deepen their knowledge of and appreciation for
the books, explore their influence on our culture, or simply bask in
one of the largest and most influential fan followings ever assembled
will find a home at Infinitus. By combining the elements of an
academic conference and a fan convention, Infinitus will offer an
opportunity to investigate, deconstruct, discuss, and illustrate these
future classics in the company of fellow enthusiasts.

If you are interested in submitting a panel, paper or other
presentation, please see our  Call for Proposals (CfP) at
http://www.infinitus2010.org/cfp.html - and if you sign up for our
newsletter at http://www.infinitus2010.org/index.html you'll get the
latest information on events, programming and submission details.

Will there be fanfic readings? A gallery? Wizard rock? Podcasts?
Cosplay? Meetups? Quidditch?

Yes. Details about all those things are forthcoming, so please sign up
for our newsletter and keep checking the website for more!

And yes, there will also be events and fun in Universal Studios
Orlando's Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure.

Infinitus takes place from July 15 - 18, and is geared for those ages
14 and up; information about the separate kids' track will be coming
soon.
