“Well, somewhere along the line, she failed to teach you the meaning of sarcasm. “

Someone on this site understands sarcasm??? That’s a shocker.

“Surely not all children are as special as you.”

When I was in school, I remember taking a field trip when I was in eighth grade with the school to see Schindler’s List. Considering that schools are willing to teach about some pretty tough subjects to middle schoolers (as is warranted) and to introduce these subjects in intermediate school, I don’t think that Harry’s death is that bad.

I do agree with you that the book should not be given to a second grader as second graders cannot yet differentiate between reality and fantasy. However, I’d expect a fifth grader to do so.. Heck compared to some scenes in the book, Harry’s “death” scene was tame.

“Look, you continue to miss my point. I don’t know if you’re just that obtuse or if you’re just stubborn. I really don’t care. I’m tired of arguing with you.”

No I just agree with the fact that everything must be sanitized because children who shouldn’t might get ahold of the book... It’s not Rowlings duty to police bad parents.

“I really think you’re not reading what I’m saying, or what anyone else is saying for that matter. If you were, you’d have realized way up thread that the author’s name is J.K. Rowling, not Rowlings as you have typed repeatedly. “

Perhaps, you might want to blame all the newspapers, etc. that have called her Rowlings... No??
