    Harry Potter is AWESOME!!!!!!! I bribed my youngest son into reading Harry years ago. Well, needless to say, he became an avid reader after that. Harry Potter books are about an orphaned young child, unloved, unwanted and ignored, but even with these disadvantages, he shows courage and loyalty, and more character than those he lived with. Harry was not even happy before he went to hogwarts. People would love these books if they read them.
    I don’t want to hear anyone say “those books are of the devil” and turn around and say “no I won’t read them”. Well, how do they know what in the book? I think those people are just typical of The Dursleys. They don’t have enough gumption to read the book and form their own opinion, they use someone elses and they don’t know what they’re talking about, because they won’t read the books. I know for a fact, some teenages changed the covers on the books to other covers so they could read these books. Some only read them at school. I really admire these individuals for wanting to form their own opinions. They will make better adults for this. There is nothing wrong with Harry, he is special.
