It should be obvious even to people that don't wear tin foil hats that the books are about witchcraft. After all, it is about wizards and witches.

The question that should be debated is: is it OK to allow children to read books about witchcraft that present witchcraft in a positive light?

Conservative Christians in general think not. That hardly rates a tin foil hat alert given the amount of scripture that backs up their position.

Warning: the TRUTH is not welcome with the occult crowd.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Who cares? There's no such thing as witchcraft, and most kids know that.

Humans have historically enjoyed congregating to mumble and mutter at rocks, idols and such. I wouldn't worry about it, and it keeps them occupied.

NOTE TO BROOKHAVEN: Sorry, you're wasting your time. All you will get for your trouble is name-calling and the shrillest of hysteria--[i.e. The ACLU approach = If you are opposed to child pornography you're anti-first amendment and a Nazi bookburner]. This forum cannot handle an intelligent discussion of the Harry Potter phenomenon. You either must mindlessly follow the herd or you are declared insane. Don't cast your pearls before swine.

For proof, stand back and watch the venom hit the fan regarding this post.
