Post Laura Mallory takes Harry Potter to court

Do you remember the Loganville mother, who claimed that the Harry Potter novels promote witchcraft, evilness, etc.? Well, even though she tried to get them removed from Gwinnett libraries last May - and failed - she's at it again. On May 29th, the Gwinnett Superior Court will hold a hearing to review the decision by the State Board of Education to keep the books in schools. Mallory had originally tried to remove the books from her daughter's school, J.C. Magill Elementary.

Also, I live around the area, so I will be following this story closely in the papers. Make sure you check the news section frequently for updates.

Well, though she's never read the books herself, I can understand why she's afraid, I guess. Just remember that she's trying to protect her children. Personally, I wish she'd read the novels first, then judge, and not try to take them out of schools. They make kids want to read!

I think this woman needs to read the books. She's only doing whats' right for her kids - in her opinion, but her own stupidity is astounding.

but protecting her children and going to court to do so is crazy. She can just make it clear not to read the books instead of affecting everyone else.
This woman needs to get a life and teach her kids better if she's so big into it.
You shouldn't take something up if you're ignorant on it. She hasn't read the books, so why is she going so far on a topic she isn't informed clearly about?

This woman is sooo very stupid. If harry Potter was really bad don't you think they would already be out the school? It just common sense.

I also live nearby, and I agree that she should have read the novels beforehand because all the themes that could be considered "evil" are clearly outweighed by all the good themes.

Also, since she is the legal guardian of her children, she can stop her kids from reading the series, but she has no right to take the novels out of the schools to stop other kids from reading them. And besides, if the kid really wants to read it, he or she will, no matter what. Actually, banning it might cause kids to rebel a bit and read it just to spite their parents.

But, if she really wants to make that much of a fool of herself for banning books she hasn't even taken the chance to read, it's her fault. I feel as if I have to thank her, though. Not for trying to ban the books, but for giving me a really good basis to relate into an essay I had to write on censorship.

I swear,the woman is psychotic!!!!!!!!!

Has she read the books???Has she watched the films???J.K Rowling doesn't tell people to go out and become witches and wizards for Christ's sake!!!!!I'm sorry,it looks like I'm over reacting,but this is ridiculous.I highly doubt she gets the books banned,but even if she does,people can still buy them in the area and the books are still found all over the WORLD.So many people are against them even though they haven't read them and have no idea what they are about.

Wow. There's some logic. When she fails to remove the books from one school, maybe she'll succeed at removing them from the schools of an entire state.
She should leave. Seriously. Like...preferably off the planet. We don't want her here.

I hope she loses her case. What a jerk, it's one thing telling your kid not to read something, but it's another to get others to ban it because of your beliefs.

She is a total idiot for trying to go to court to get the books out of her daughter's school. Maybe some parents WANT there kids to read the books. Think about it seriously.

I don't know how old these women's kids are, but, unless she does them irreparable harm by not letting them think for themselves and they turn into mindless zombies worse than Voldemort and his Death Eaters could ever be, they will find a way to read them simply because of all the fuss their mother is making...then, they will tell her themselves that she is a bigoted, ignorant clown!!!!!! I would love to be a fly on her wall when that happens!!!!
