Episode 17: Trademarks, Contracts, and Butterbeer

What this episode covers

Steve and Nick talk about live data on the new lexicon, which spawns a debate about wizarding currency. Just how much is a Galleon “really” worth anyway? We also try to make sense of the concept of Magical Contracts, and Nick recounts a tale of his recent visit to the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood 1 And comparing with the Hogsmeade portion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure in Hollywood jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_1257_70_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_1257_70_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top right', relative: true, offset: [10, 10], });.
