With all do respect,but that is a load of BS,just like the claims that violent video games and movies turn kids into criminals.

Where are the parents to teach their kids that books, video games and such are only make believe and not okay in real life?

My oldest played every shoot them up game there is and never gone out and committed a crime.

He read the Harry Potter books and didn’t join the occult.

I really don’t understand where the big Fuzz over a children’s book is coming from.

BTW,he is 19 and is very active in church.

No ill effects from playing shoot them up video games or Harry Potter books.

You're right. I know many smokers who don't have cancer.

Here's a general statement to the Potter crazed among you. I know you love the crap. Go ahead and enjoy it. But, I'd just like to share with you the first hand account of a friend of my family who works in library. She said many of the same kids who are enthralled with Potter when they are young, come in looking for books on the "real thing" in their teen years.

So, go ahead and give it to your kids, I'd give mine cigars before I'd give them Pot or Potter.
