Harry Potter Theme Park

I love Harry Potter, just like so many other millions of people around the globe, so I was thrilled to read about Harry Potter's Wizarding World coming to Universal Studios in 2009! Can you imagine stepping into Harry's world? I love the theme parks that bring storybooks and movies to life like Seuss Landing in Universal's Islands of Adventure and the Jurasic Park ride at the same park, not to mention the awesome rides of Walt Disney World. I can't wait to see my girls faces as they enter Harry Potter's Wizarding World!

But what astonsishes me most of all is the fact that one woman with a story to tell started this all not so very long ago. Did she ever dare to dream that she would create such an empire? Should I dare to dream so grand? I have stories tumbling around inside my head, begging to be released, but something keeps me from opening the door - perhaps I'm afraid of failing, of writing what I think is an awesome story and have no one want to read it. But, then again, J.K. Rowling was denied many, many times before finding a publisher who believed in Harry. I should just dive in and write with abandon - I should let nothing stop me.
