Good morning to you, Slippie, and to the lovely and gracious xsmommy as well! How are my two favorite verbophilic instructors?

lotta backseat tusseling in Natrona Hts back in the day... ; )
i never read any of HPotter. xsbrownie doesn't like anything remotely dark or scary, so it is not for her. xsteen has read them and i got her the new one this weekend, but she isn't a dork about it like most of her friends are. Personally, my beef is with anything that glorifies and glamorizes the occult.

Wonder what it means to Mort. Maybe "Verbivores," then came "verbapholic." That's gotta be it.

My 9-yr-old finished it yesterday. I dunno, doesn't feel so much like occult as just Fantasy genre. I've read the same story a hundred times before. Any kid that uses HP as a bridge to Satanism was probably headed there anyway.
Now, you want scary....I read "The Amityville Horror" in about two days when I was 11, and THAT was a mistake. Did not sleep for at least a week. That was horrible because it really did feel like the occult. Ugh, still gives me the willies.

"Personally, my beef is with anything that glorifies and glamorizes the occult." But it wouldn't be much of a tussle for you to read something that glorifies and glamorizes sex, right? Us aspiring writers wanna know.

well they are ostensibly witches and warlocks which are commonly recognized occult figures and they are apparently the "good guys" in the Potter books. as the Pope, when he was Cardinal Ratzinger said, it tends to blur the distinctions and i just don't think kids need that. i think bright lines are goods when teaching kids. I am far from a book burner and don't begrudge anyone reading it, but i just don't like the idea of it, basically.

Well, a verbivore devours words. A Verbophile loves them. Therefore, being verbophilic allows one to share their love of word power with others, whilst verbivorically enriching one's own vocabulary!
(Nothing dirty at all... Just suggestive!) ;-P
