Lakers legend Kobe Bryant is a huge fan of the “Harry Potter” series, so perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that the first book series he created (along with author Wesley King), “The Wizenard Series: Training Camp,” seems heavily inspired by the J.K. Rowling books in it’s use of magical themes.
Bryant named his dog Crucio after one of the “Three Unforgivable Curses” in the novels, once said he would save his first edition of Harry Potter even if his house was burning down, and has compared the media to Voldemort as well as made tons of other Harry Potter references in interviews over the years.
