Re: Harry Potter Challenge

[Joan Edwards <foneyjoany@MEDIAONE.NET>]

Isn't it interesting that the people who challenge Harry Potter, have the
video of The Wizard of Oz in their family rooms and love it?  I find it also
interesting that they also love the Chronicles of Narnia and have no problem
with The Lord of the Rings.  We had a problem in our school three years ago.
We can't teach Harry Potter to our developmental reading classes without
signed parental consent but we have it in the library and have worn out
several copies.
