Quidditch

In quidditch, the main sport played in the fictional world of Harry Potter, players fly around on broomsticks. This presented a challenge to filmakers, who used special effects and two custom-made rigs to simulate the actors flying. Two of these rigs are on display at the Warner Bros Studio Tour London, The Making of Harry Potter.
