We enjoy Harry not for the magic, but for the magical world of invention and such.<BR/><BR/>Parents need to be cautious, but not panicked or overreacting to any "popular" thing in today's culture...Deena Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267100019443842145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933812550305714351.post-48603903121739980112007-07-31T16:25:00.000-07:002007-07-31T16:25:00.000-07:00I couldn't agree more about your comments on Harry...I couldn't agree more about your comments on Harry Potter - my thoughts exactly!Diane Patehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17075922746175179928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933812550305714351.post-5431337825645606032007-07-26T15:40:00.000-07:002007-07-26T15:40:00.000-07:00As to reading them to kids, I've decided not to re...As to reading them to kids, I've decided not to read any to mine (oldest, now 7). If they want to read them on their own later, then so be it. But, I'm going to take that chance to talk to them about what they found that was like Jesus. We'll probably talk about witchcraft and evil, but I want to show them that the things of Christ are the things that we actually love in a good story.Marlo Schaleskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04690265597462589967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933812550305714351.post-18722789088453147202007-07-26T15:31:00.000-07:002007-07-26T15:31:00.000-07:00Just stopping by from Angie Hunt's blog.

Love the look of your site!<BR/><BR/>Trying to decide if/when to read the HP books to my 6- and 5-year-old daughters.<BR/><BR/>I read the first three then stopped, decided to read them all again, couldn't carve out enough time... Anyway.<BR/><BR/>Great thoughts. I'll definitely refer back to them.Marla Tavianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485117754789717519noreply@blogger.com
