I think it is very selfish of her to take the books away from everyone. Just because she does not want her kids reading them does mean she has to make the whole county abide by her dislike of Harry Potter books. What she lets her kids read is her business, but she should not be attempting to ban something that has become to be a classic piece of literature. Personally, I think that she is very foolish to jump to a conclusion before checking her facts. I don't believe in Harry Potter as "witchcraft" I believe that this book has some very realistic experiences that almost anyone can relate to in some way. The fact that it is set in a magic school is what makes the book unique and fascinating to read.

Foolishness, pure foolishness.
