Harry Potter
well in a few weeks the final harry potter book will come out. ive been reading harry potter since 3rd grade and i love those books! im so excited i can hardly wait!! but theres one thing im not looking forward to. a lot of my friends arent allowed to read it. their parents think its evil and written by the devil or something. ever since i started reading them, i would get remarks from my friends or their parents. "your parents let you read THAT?" in 4th grade i had a friend who wasnt allowed to play with me anymore after her parents saw me reading harry potter. well now im 13 and i dont really care. there is NOTHING wrong with those books, theyre fiction, they dont turn people into witches, and they show that good is good and evil is bad. but i just want to know what i should say if someone gives me some remark. i dont want to be rude, i just want people to know those books are not evil and im not a bad person for reading them.

Every single book is evil if you look hard enough, even mother goose nursery rhymes. If they say anything, ask them to recomend a few books to you that you will read. Then next time you see them, tell them you were horrified by some event in it.

To most of the world, the books are just fiction and great fun. They have provided years of entertainment and have prompted many children to read. it is a good thing. You might say to these kids or parents something like this:
Oh I love to read and the more I read the smarter I get, and being smart helps me to know the difference between fact and fiction which is what these books are FICTION.
Good luck to you dear

Occasionally people do have some strange ideas. I am a mum to a 12 year old girl and we certainly read all the books and watch the films together. It is a very highly entertaining subject that is in no way evil. It was written by a very talented lady with a great imagination and that is all. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I would just tell them that it would be better to agree to disagree on this subject. They should not impose their values onto you, as you would not do it to them. Sometimes people do get fact and fiction mixed up, but Harry Potter is most definitely fiction. Enjoy the books and films and ignore other peoples rude remarks.
