Parents Must Teach Children Fiction From Reality

If you have not heard of Harry Potter, you either do not have children or have not read the New York Times best seller list in a long time! Thirteen-year-old Harry is the hero of three books by Joanne K. Rowling and a student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In his adventures, he faces the challenges of normal schoolchildren, with a twist, and in the end he prevails because he is courageous and smart.

I think the Harry Potter books and movie were wonderful and so did my kids. The stories are modern fables where good vs. evil ends with good always winning.

I am tired of hearing people preaching about its all from the devil. Have you people ever heard of an imagination? God gave us our imagination so we can use it, not to stifle it in his name. But to some people, allowing children to have anything magical in their lives is a real and serious threat. If you don't want to open your minds feel free to voice your stuffy, narrow opinions but do not expect everyone to take your views.

I believe in God but can not believe he would ever condemn anyone for bringing joy to millions with magical stories that include friendship and courage. Our jobs as parents are to teach children right from wrong and fiction from reality. Something your parents obviously failed to do. I feel sorry for people that can't enjoy something as simple as a fairytale.
