...pretty special. Heavyweight championship fight—there’s nothing like it. It is amazing, that kind of crowd. Same with the NBA championship. I’ve done games in the old Boston Garden where [the Celtics] played the Lakers. It’s just rabid there. The NCAA championships, because of the beauty associated with college sports and the fact that you’re dealing with amateurs in a real rah-rah kind of environment—there’s an awful lot to enjoy there.

Diane Nelson, Warner Bros.’ senior vice president for family entertainment, points out in the New York Times: “We also asked [Coca-Cola] to include a philanthropic component; there’s this huge literacy program that’s part of the Coke campaign. We think this goes to the spirit of what is inherent in the Harry Potter brand. None of this...
