Wow, the fact that Rowling got letters from kids “wanting to attend a witchcraft school” proves the books are evil.

Whatever helps you get through your days, necro-bumper. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m needed back on Earth.

Its so sad that you are so deceived. Necro-bumper? One day, you’ll find out the truth, and I hope it isn’t too late for you.

It proves that children need guidance, and consistency in the guidance they get.

I have a 9 year old son with high functioning autism who cannot wrap his head round inconsistencies - to the point that he just cannot understand why it's okay for adults to tell children off but not for children to tell adults off.

One time he bellowed at a supply teacher, "HOW MANY TIMES? WALK DON'T RUN, YOU BLOODY FOOL!". This guy had only been there for a day, and was shocked, and walked up to him and said, "What did you say?!". He hissed back, "Try using these..." and waggled his ears. As if that wasn't bad enough, one teacher overheard the exchange and started laughing, and the deputy head said, "You shouldn't laugh, it's not funny".

To cut an even longer story short, this ended up with him in the head's office, and me being called in to collect him. I arrived in time to see him go off on a huge tirade at the inconsistency of adults. "But he was running and that's against the rules! And I only said what she says to me (pointing at the headteacher)! And Miss said it was funny! But Other Miss said it wasn't! If you lot could make your bloody minds up what's right and what's wrong then I wouldn't keep getting into trouble!"
