Actually, weren't they written by J. K. Rowling rather than Ann Rawlings? I

believe she also has a new book out.

I thought almost everyone knew about Harry Potter books, written by Ann

Rawlings. They are well written and appeal to all ages. My granddaughter

who is 8 is trying to read one that is about 3 " thick. Her sistes who are

now adults have read them and still read them. My daughter has read them,

as have I. My husband read the early ones but then when they got a bit

darker he didn't read them. My daughter is aware andmight not have her

daughter read some of the later ones, though she is reading them with her as

part of her reading program. She does understnd what she is reading. She

is a bright bulb. My son's family all read Harry Potter, too. It is a book

where the good guys win, but the stuggle is difficult. Some don't read them

because it is about wizardy but that is a pretend thing to me and not real

but the struggle between good and evil is. The kids root for the good guys.

A few people who haven't read them may not choose to

because it is about wizards and witches, though there are good and bad ones.

It is funny, intense and has pretty good lessons. I just thought that most

everyone knew about HP which was played by Radcliffe. I liked

Weasley though as he was hilarious and yet eally brave as he wasn't that

good at wizardy and he still put his life on the line for good. Hermoine

came from a muggle (non-wizard) family and was really smart and excellent

scholar. So she is a role-model for smart girls.

If you are taking it seriously and from a bible context, then would be, I

suppose.  I look it as a fairy tale and not real.   This is not reality and

doesn't come across that way.  Better than Batman or Superman as kids don't

jump off the garage.  it is srt of like a super hero.  But it is good against

evil.  I thought it was very enjoyable reading and watching.  It caused a lot

of kids to read who weren't interested in reading.  Some of those books are

3-4 "

thick and when you think of 2nd, 4th, 6th, 9th, 11th and 12th graders and adults

of various ages reading the books, it is something else.  My mother wouldn't

have read it but she only read Romance novels or magazines.  They are rooting

for Harry and I don't really seeit any differently than Batman (who seems rather

sinister to me), Spiderman or Superman.  None of it is reality but a story that

is good against evil and the good guy gets beaten up some but he prevails in the

end.  And without Wonderwoman it would be more sexist than harry as there are

some administration who are women and there is Hermoine.  And we know how to

say it and without harry Potter we wouldn't.  LOL.

I've had lots of people tell me the books are about the struggle between

good and evil, but if they are all witchy types, then aren't they all evil?

You are absolutely right.  I apologize.  Guess I paid more attention to the

books than to the authoress. I heard that she was going to do another book but

not about HP.  I have no idea where she is going.  I was wondering about where

she was headed with her books though as they were getting more violent and there

does come a time when a parent has to stop allowing a child to read if they get

too depressing.  Good has to win.  That is one reason I think parents should

read the books their kids do.

My favorite is Superman, but Batman isn't too far behind.  Superman, other than

changing in a phone booth, he seems more real to me than Batman.  LOL as if any

of it is " real " .   We all need heroes.
