: I think the puritanical blindfolds of overly conservative folks with say in these matters, prevent them from being able to see past the wizards hat on the cover to the praiseworthy message written in the pages. �No doubt, many of them haven�t even attempted to read the book. �
You are absolutely right on the target there. I have a friend who is a born again Christian and she is one of those that feels Harry Potter is witchcraft personified. I asked her if she had ever read any of the books and the answer was a resounding "NO". I find it fascinating how people can condemn something just because someone else told them it was bad. Maybe some people just can't think for themselves. She was also anti-Pokemon.
