On kids reading Harry Potter?
RE: On kids reading Harry Potter?
(February 8, 2016 at 4:41 pm)Aroura Wrote: Honestly, I am such a huge fan of HP.  I feel like people who have not read the books are just missing out hugely.  I know the OP is just trolling, but as Gawdzilla says, there are people who actually take this position.  JK herself said that it mostly upsets her because she hates to think people try to limit a child's imagination that way.  I agree.  These books allow kids to really open up new worlds!  Not just playing witch or wizard, but all of the fantastical things that exist!  My kid's favorite part of the HP univers is the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them".  She is constantly telling me odd facts, like how snitches exist because of a bird called a snidget, that wizards hunted almost to extinction, or about some monster that looks like a cloak and suffocates people, and other things I've never even heard of. She draws how she thinks these creatures would look, since the book lacks illustrations.  Imagination is such a wonderful thing for a child!  (And for adults, too).

Rowling is a complete genius. I am obsessed with Harry Potter.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
