Actually, interesting you bring this up.. A whole bunch of schools have actually banned Harry Potter from being read at school because it goes against their religious beliefs. Ridiculous as it is a great piece of writing, although not the best.theniceiceman wrote:You know, I don't have a problem that people are reading this books, but part of me thinks I have a problem with how people react to it. Teenage girls, in particular. I just think that some people get way too obsessed with the books. A year ago when Twilight was at the peak of his prime, my brother (a high school student) told me that a group of girls actually killed themselves because they wanted to become vampires. Now, it's not the book's fault, nor is it the author's fault, but my goodness--what a shame.
I also think it's funny how religious people react to books, Harry Potter in particular. I'm a religious man myself, but come on--I always viewed it as an innocent young adult book. I really, really doubt that the majority of people, both kids and adults, who read the books/see the movies are going to go out there and start dabbling in Black Magic.
