I read the first two HP books before allowing my daughter to read them. I don't have a major beef with the HP books, except for their being far less serious and moral than Tolkien. But that applies to almost all books written today.
Which post of mine are you replying to? You may be confusing me with some of the HP bashers around.
I do however understand how some parents may object to their children being force-fed these books by public schools. I can even understand why some feel they are dangerous, even though I don't personally agree with their objections.
My comments weren't directed at you personally. I was responding in general. Sorry for the confusion.
