Actually, yesterday in my language arts class, we were talking about censorship and Harry Potter did come up. We do have it in our school library, but nonetheless, it also has something to do with religion. For an example, my CCD teacher (Catholic) says that whichcraft and Harry Potter is the spawn of the devil and devils work (she's old and loony). I called out to her and disaggreed, I said it was built on a unique idea but was more or less surrounded by relationships and life as a teenage boy growing up and facing the troubles of his past. She then disagreed and sent me over the top.
In my LA, we agreed that Harry Potter should not be banned (and everyone looked at me) because it is just fiction. |
