A group of parents got together and complained about the death education classes in the Columbine school system. They were roundly dismissed as quacks.

Maybe you should expand on "death education" for the uninitiated.

There is a lot written about that subject already. Kids writing their own epitaphs, I don't think is a very good idea. However, the point of this thread is that some people see some danger in reading Harry Potter. I for one find the fascination with the little nerd somewhat amusing. I have had no interest in purchasing the books and my kids have not had an overwelming desire to read them or purchase them on their own. So now there is a movie out which I don't plan on going to see, because I don't care. My kids aren't all up in a wad wanting to go see it either.

I was at the store writing a check for an item I had bought and another saleslady asked my son in a simply gushing tone, "Don't you just LOVE Harry Potter?" You should've seen the look on his face. It was pricelss. He said, "No." First of all, he didn't know or care who Harry Potter was and secondly, he knows that it is improper to LOVE another boy who's not your dad or brother. The look on her face was priceless as well.

I am not a big Harry Potter fan but of course I have not been much into fantasy since I was in grade school.
