Changes

Harry Potter was meant as a fiction. Its spells are fiction (most of them made be distorting words such as found in English and Latin, and which I doubt that real life witches use), its locations (such as hogwarts and alchatraz) are fiction, its mythical creatures are fiction, et cetera. We tell our kids when they are young that what you find in the fiction section is not true, while what you find in the non-fiction section is true, and then when they find a book in the fiction section, they will think that its not true, because, you know, even small children can connect two and two together. But when they pull out Harry Potter from the fiction section, knowing that since it is in the fiction section that it is not true, when they bring it to their parents, the parents then freak out over the book, thinking that it promotes something which is not real. Kids are gullible, as they don't know any better and haven't developed critical thinking skills yet. They'll believe you when you say that what you find in the fiction section is not true. They believe you without knowing why when you say Harry Potter promotes witch-craft. They'll believe you beyond a shadow of a doubt if you say Allah wants him to blow up Jews. But that's because they're not able to think for themselves. Teens on the other hand can think for themselves. They start to question some (or all) of the things that they were told as children. So perhaps those young readers who have asked the British Pagan Institution for information about witch-craft are teens who want to know if Harry Potter actually promotes witch-craft or not, since they're been told that over and over again.
