  • Next message: Betsy Scheidemantel: "Re: Questions"

    Marilyn,
    I have heard that some parents think the books are too violent however I
    think that this is all part of the plot and in the end, good does win. I
    have had friends ask me my opinion, as to whether they should let their
    children read Harry Potter, and my answer is definately YES!
