(PR NewsChannel) / June 19, 2010 / CHICAGO / As "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter," the Universal Studios attraction that led to Rod Blagojevich's firing from 'Celebrity Apprentice,' opened to the public, Blagojevich is apparently looking forward to visiting "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" with his daughters and wife, Patti.

"He had a great time on the show and he looks forward to seeing the Harry Potter attraction now that it's open.  His regret regarding the show is that he didn't make money for the charity he was playing for--the Children's Cancer Center of Tampa," said Glenn Selig, Blagojevich's spokesman.  "He wishes Universal Studios and NBC the best of success with the Harry Potter attraction."

Hampered by being unable to text, email or surf the Internet, the former Illinois governor's team RockSolid lost the challenge and Donald Trump fired Blagojevich.

Blagojevich had delegated most of the project manager responsibilities to Bret Michaels, who unltimately went on to win the celebrity competition.

Selig says since the show, the former governor of Illinois has grown more comfortable with texting and email.

"He still prefers to talk than email or text," says Selig.
