it would depend on the setting of the book, the age of my children and the ultimate lessons coming out of the book. If they were going into law enforcement or medicine, and needed the info about how this subset of the society lives, and were old enough to handle it (prob late HS, college) I would not object. This would be mild compared to some of the things I was exposed to in medical school.
In most cases no, but the point is the decision is made on a case by case basis. I actually read Harry Potter first, and determined there is nothing that would harm my children by reading it. We also discussed witchcraft (the real kind, not the Harry Potter kind, and how God feels about it.)
There are some Christian books I do not want my children reading due to the graphic nature of the same. Sorry, the arguement does not hold water.

There would be no moral lesson - for or against - their conducts. It would simply serve as a “plot device” as magic does in HP.
