I was in Vegas from July 27 to July 30 attending the Lumos (Harry Potter) conference. It was fun, entertaining, and even educational. Imagine 1200 adults letting their imaginations run wild about all things Harry Potter. There were many people wearing witch and wizard robes and hats. Some attendees dressed in costumes of specific characters (such as Snape, Draco, and Harry) and some wore costumes representing specific Houses or sports (Quidditch) from the novels. There was even one attendee dressed as Fawkes, the Phoenix. Needless to say, there was much wand waving and even some Butterbeer.
In addition to being an avid Harry Potter fan. I also an herb gardener. I love to grow, study and use herbs. So, I did a presentation at the conference on the The Herbs of Harry Potter. (Link to a copy of my presentation in PDF format.) And, if you would like to see some

I also participated in the Poster Sessions with a poster entitled: Nicholas Flamel: Is He Still Alive? I conducted a poll to see if people thought the real Nicholas Flamel had created the Elixir of Life and was still alive. The vote was close, but by a slight majority the voters though Nicholas was RIP (resting in peace).
