I never said anything one way or other concerning the Harry Potter books. I
just said as I hadn't read them I saw no point in commenting about their
content. I said as well I didn't think those who had not read them should
comment concerning them either. I also pointed out other literature could
also be considered harmful to children which have been read and heard for
centuries. many Catholics oppose many things others don't. They probably
have read the books and have their interpretation of what they have read.
If I ever read the books for myself and decide for myself concerning whether
their content is harmful I might look at what they have to say. However, as
I have no interest in a fantasy person and his adventures I will not be
interested. Which leads me to the question: To gain the most from the
books ought one read them from the first book continuing to the last, or can
one read the books at random and understand them. ----- Original
