Drk, no rules in silly jokes except more silly jokes ;)
When I was a young child the most frightening stories were about. :yikes: Harry Potter tales are tame. :lurk5:
I think that the Harry Potter series is a very interesting read. But I wouldnt say much more than that. I do prefer the books to the films but the films are quite well done, but it is by no means the best book to film I've ever seen.
On the OP... I think most people can read these books and understand that they are little more than a story. When I was a kid I was more terrified by reading a Goosebumps book than I was Harry Potter, which is worse - a wizard who trys and defeats an evil wizard, or a camera that will kill you if you take a picture of yourself! :)
I would definately encourage children to read Harry Potter with some lectures about what's real and what's not. What's right and what's wrong. The things that get in the way of my culture and believes would be hard to explain though.
Harry Potter is one of my fav series. I don't find it in any way a "threat" to our children.
I don't think it popularizes witchcraft 'cause there's no need for it,
i've read my first HP book when i was 12, as far as i remember,
and i've enjoyed the world i travel through as i read it, not just
the imagery it creates but the events and the stories about friendship,
love, etc., so i think the story is wholesome, and it really is intended for
kids. :conehead: do you think real witches(if there is) read HP? maybe..haha:ihih:
Just to say, I COMPLETELY agree! Like how critics are now saying the Twilight series is all about demonic sex and the masochistic side of us. Ridiculous, exactly!Quote:
