BINGO! Above succinctly describes what the American pop culture sheeple may be cavalierly dismissing.

I would tend to agree, although I can't say that I am either "for" or "against" Harry Potter stuff. I see both sides of the argument, but I think you pointed out from the article something people dont want to recognize - and that is, this kind of stuff, entangled with everything else out there in "Pop Culture" will undoubtedly affect kids in some way. The signs may not be seen for years.

I totally agree with your response about not being for or against Potter. I enjoy reading these debates, and my favorite rebuttals are the pro-Harry "Bewitched made me a Satanist" ones. I have gotten some great chuckles out of reading these threads. I personally am not interested in my children reading or watching Potter. I have always been afraid of anything witchcraft or the occult. My 6 year old was afraid when she saw the movie premiere of Potter at the theater a few months ago. It appeared so very dark. However, we have lots of friends that love Harry Potter and are going to the movie. I say "go for it" it's just not for us.
