What is it about the Harry Potter books/movies that upset everyone so much? Isn't it another story of good overcoming evil?

[/quote] [b] Because the ones disagreeing with you are just plain silly[/b]....I sent in VoldeBean to get them. =-) [/quote] So far yes, I agree. [/quote] People yell about 'the government' trying to 'dumb us down'....and I'm not comparing the Potter books to 'classics'... but it's the same morans who scream that Potter is EVIL that are also stripping 'catcher in the rye', 'slaughterhouse 5' and the like from schools. [/quote] Yes, I completely agree. The HP books are not very advanced works of literature I admit. And you are exactly right. The people wanting to remove these books from the shelves haven't read them either. It's all based on fear and ignorance. [/quote]

I just don't understand why this isn't a good metaphor to teach children.
You didn't mean to mind Star Wars. Sam story in a different metaphor.
What is the concern? Just because they are called wizards witches? That's silly.
