Outrage?

[Lathriel]

Some of those adults who want HP banned probably don't realize that the kids themselves are capable of making their own desicions about what is fantasy and what isn't. They think that when young kids read it they will believe every word. I think these people are just too overprotective and don't give their children some space to make their own choices on such matters.

lmp you might be right about the transitional fantasy books. I have already seen so many HP clones.

I myself don't always like "transitional fantasy". I think it can quickly become cheesy or the main character from our world is all questions throughout the book, thus there is no real chance for character development. When I do read "transitional fantasy" I really read several pages of the book and flip through it etc. for if it is well done it is very neat.

Overall I think people are making too big of a deal about HP. It is just a childrens book and not meant to be taken seriously. I would be much more concerned if I found my child flipping through a book in the Erotica section. (The saction has lately been popping up in Chapters and I always quickly walk past it)
