Truly I am. I don't get people who want to ban something they haven't even read. If you don't want to read it, fine...don't. But don't try and take away other's right to read it.

Especially people who have not read the book. I started reading the series w/ my daughter and became a huge fan. Not only have I read them but so have my mom and aunt. The whole series boils down to ultimately a story of good versus evil as well as the dangers of intolerance. I don't know how these concepts can be threatening to anyone.

And I was asking about the next Harry Potter book for my oldest son and a customer in the store just blasted me for letting my 13 yr old read Harry Potter. Well after I picked my jaw up off the floor I was so shocked by her nerve. I asked her what she had against them. And she said I as promoting witchcraft to my children. I asked her if she had read them and she humph no of course not. And I told her to mind her own business and that she shouldn't discuss things that she had no knowledge of. And that if I had a child that loathed to read and fell in love with a series of books so much that he bugged me repeatedly for the next one that she could kiss where the sun don't shine and butt the hell out. The lady behind the counter was about to roll on the floor. The lady got mad and flounced out of the store and the lady behind the counter said she was glad I said something becuase she was not allowed to. I used to frequent a bookstore in GA.

I hate censorship. You are so right about people not reading the books before judging them. Unfortunately, this has always happened and will probably continue to happen as long as we have people who want to control other people's lives. Tolerance is a rare flower that needs to be nurtured.
