Because my conservative religion prohibits the practice of witchcraft I promised myself to read the first Harry Potter book to see if I can recommend it to my child. This was because the main character of this book is a practicing sorcerer/warlock and I would have a problem recommending it to my daughter. This was also because I know there are five more Harry Potter books and the seventh is on the way, so there are a lot of related debates all around, thus it is almost impossible to keep her out of item. So, my decision was to read the book first and to have a decision
Despite of fact "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is a very well-written book, I have to stand by my original opinion after reading it . The book is gripping and I found it hard to put it down the weekend I read it. But that is part of my problem. Unlike the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien the world in the Harry Potter books is very realistic and similar to ours. Witches and warlocks are seen as just another lifestyle. The line between reality and fantasy is blurred.
And since it is the first of a series of seven, my child would spend several months absorbed in a world of beliefs that are at odds with the values we are trying to teach her. Perhaps when she will be much older and better able to distinguish between fantasy and reality ... we'll have to see.
