    When I was pregnant with my son (Robert), I read Harry Potter books to him. I have heard educators encourage pregnant moms to read to their unborn child. So when I discovered that I was pregnant, I opt Harry Potter books. When my son was 2 years old I introduced to him the Harry Potter DVD’s (Socerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets). And he and I are seriosuly Harry Potter fans. Whenever a new Harry Potter book was released, my son and I stood in long lines at the neighborhood Kroger grocery store, waiting on 11:59 PM to purchase the newly released Harry Potter book. GOSH!!!! We had a lot of fun. Currently as I’m typing this, my son is watching one of his Harry Potter DVD’s and playing with his Harry Potter wand. My husband like Harry Potter as well, and my family and I are looking forward to visiting the Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando, FL.

    I am a mom of 4, 3 boys and a girl. While they were growing up Harry Potter was one of the most important parts of our family time together. We have collected over the years just about everything we could afford that can fill an entire room. It kept the family together. The day the movies came out was the one day we would let them play hookie from school. To this day, although they are just barely over 18, we still get together for the new movies, including anticipating the last two. They come from out of town so we can be together for them. When we found out Disney World was coming out with a Harry Potter Theme park, we were all so excited. We can’t afford to go but we would love to win this trip. Thank You for this Chance!

    My husband has been diagnosed with two different types of muscular dystrophy. He is now out of work, he will never be able to hold another job. Because of this we are not able to take our daughter to theme parks because of the expense. I really hope for her sake that she wins the tickets. It is hard for us as parents to see her miss out on things she would have been able to do had this diseases not attacked her dad.

    I and my family have loved Harry Potter from the very beginning. We have taken our kids out of school allowing them to play hookie for every Harry Potter movie that began on a week day just so they could see the first one. Harry Potter to this day gives me as a mom the warmest family feelings and memories..Thank you Harry Potter

    Helo we are the Stephens family and we are trying to win a trip to Orlando Florida under the circumstances we just suffered the tragic death of my mother(Nancy Stephens) which was my childrens grandmother.Also the money that we did have in our account to book a trip to florida; do to the misunderstanding with the hotel we booked with Royal Plaza(we thought our checking debit card would be appropiate) but beings though it wasnt a credit card we have to go probaly without our money being reimbursted and no trip.so please if Harry Potter could help the Stephens family out we would gladly appreciate it.Note mom is driving the family because she is definately scared to fly her family on planes

    that we had with the royal plaza

    Hello. I would love to win an experience to travel to Florida to see Harry Potter’s Wizarding World. I live in Australia and love everything Harry Potter, even my birthday was a Harry Potter theme. My cake was the sorting hat and it was just wonderful. My granchildren all dressed and Hogwart students and I was McGonagall. To win a wonderful trip would be an experiance of a life time.

    My 15 year old daughter is obsessed w/ Harry Potter. Times have been a little tough for several years and my family is just starting to pick back up from a financial hardship. Every since Harry Potter world has been built that is all she talks about. We are most likely to scrap up enough to pay for travel (by car of course) as well as find a place to stay. When i saw the price per person for the park i about choked. I am entering in hopes to win at least 4 out of our family of 6 to fullfil her dream.

    Wish me luck! ***fingers crossed***

    I am a true fan of Harry Potter, I just won in the premier opening of the DH part 2 in Finland a costume competition and got myself in a VIP night to watch the new film – what a luck otherwise I would have have to wait for two more year as I am only 7 years old :) and not allowed to go to the movies to see the film.

    My daughter is Harry Potter obsessed at 9 years old! She is just about to start the 7th book and talks about it every spare minute. She has had a challenging 5 or 6 years with her sister having a miriad of ongoing long term medical needs and has often had her birthday plans cancelled and has missed out on a lot of things her friends have done. She is so used to having her plans shoved aside and being put on the back burner I think she just expects it now! She loves her sister and never has a complaint but I’m sure it must be frustrating. As I have had to quit my job, we do not have the funds to go to Harry Potter Theme Park right now, but it would be so great for her! Thanks.

    My music teacher called me mrs potter in class. Haha at every party my friends are forced to sit through a couple of hours of harry potter, while i sit back and recite the words to each film. Can’t remember the last time i left the house without having a copy of one of the harry potter books attached to my side. My friends often slander me for comparing everything to harry potter! The idea of flying across the atlantic to visit a place called Harry Potter land just seems too good be true! I’d absolutely love to go, although they’ll have some fun trying to get me to leave! Wow thank you for the opportunity anyway, whoever does win is so lucky!

    I am trying to fullfill my sons wishes as often as I can but find it not only costly but difficult. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at the age of 37. My son was 7 when he found out and all I can do is wish that i can absorb all the smiles that a child can give me while doing his favorite things. I dont know if this has experied yet but its worth a shot.
