Most of my thoughts on this were represented earlier in this thread, but i had a new thought reading this:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Harry Potter is NOT about the corruption of youth with ideas of witch craft. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Well said. Has NO-ONE here ever read the 'Worst Witch' books? or seen the dramatisation? They are stories of a witches boarding school (you can see elements of this in HP as well). I loved these books, and there were spells and broomsticks and familiars in those. I've NEVER heard even a worry that these books have influenced a child to an interest in the Occult. So why should HP be so different?<P>OK, hopefully that was my last 2 cents on this thread
