I ended up becoming a Harry Potter fan on a bet. A few years ago, my nieces were (and still are) huge Harry Potter fans whereas I was not. My youngest niece made a bet with me and her choice of what I had to do if I lost was to read the latest released book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Fortunately for me, I lost and I always hold true to my bets. I read this book and quickly devoured the earlier books in the series and every book written since that time. I am now as rabid a fan as my nieces and cannot wait until June 18, 2010 when The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opens at Universal’s Islands of Adventure in Orlando, FL.
