Most of the people who are anti-Harry Potter are people who haven't even read the books. They are basing their opinions on those of other people who tell them Harry Potter is bad. It bugs me when people can't make their own decisions based on a book and have to rely on those of someone else. Grrrrr. In college, I did a whole research paper on the Salem With Trials. A couple of kids basically started the whole thing, accusing a slave of being a witch. Got blown way out of proportion, again, because no one really sat down and got the facts and made educated decisions and based their thoughts and fears on those of the people around them. It was a different time and everything, but still. The Salem Witch Trials also irk me. Innocent people died. Innocent children are being deprived of great literature! Harry Potter got kids reading again! You sure don't hear about kids picking up the Bible and falling in love with reading again. I'm going to ramble more if I don't stop. :) (By the way, I can't stand Lord of the Rings either. I've never read the books or seen the movies, but I don't want to. And I thought The Hobbit was awful. I didn't get past Chapter 2 or something.) The Harry Potter thing irks me to no end.
