Don't Like Harry Potter? Come To The 'Dork' Side

Be ready; it's big.

My kids are not interested in Harry Potter.
You know, Harry Potter? That series that has sold almost half a BILLION copies? Those movies that have grossed more than $7.7 billion worldwide? The franchise worth more than $25 billion?
Well, they aren't interested.
Granted, their disinterest saves me a ton of money at Universal Studios, and I don't have to make butterbeer at home, but it certainly puts me in a bind when I'm looking for last-minute Halloween
