Riley's Wish to Go to
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Riley has a rare disorder of the blood vessels, but he is just like any other seven-year-old. He likes to watch The Electric Company, play soccer and eat chicken & cheese burritos. His one real passion, however, is Harry Potter. He knows every detail of the Harry Potter saga, even down to speaking Parsel Tongue. So, Riley had the unique experience of being one of the first visitors to the newly opened The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is located in Orlando. When he and his family arrived at the theme park they had no idea of the surprise that was in store for him. Not only was he there for the opening of the park, he got to meet some of the cast from the Harry Potter movies, including Harry Potter himself! He met the actors who portray Harry, Ron and Hermione and had the opportunity to sit down and talk to them as they signed autographs for park visitors. Riley had a Harry Potter adventure that far surpassed even his own expectations.
