Each generation see books that the parents want to ban. I was talking with my grandmother about this and she mention a book written either in the late 60's or very early 70's that had people in a uproar. The book was titled, "Go Ask Alice", my grand said the same thing occurred conservative parents wanted the book off the shelf and out of the reach of kids. Banning books isn't new nor will it disappear in my opinion. What we can do is hope that these attempts will fail more often than they success.

I am glad the kids of that school system will still have a chance to read about Harry Potter and the world that JK Rowling created. The magic of HP is not the magic the book talks about but the relationships and struggles I read. Lumos isn't about lighting the tip of a wand in this case but allowing a world of fantasy to enlighten one's mind and spirit for good.
